  • Title: Mineralization of 2-chloro- and 2,5-dichlorobiphenyl by Pseudomonas sp. strain UCR2.
    Author: Hickey WJ, Brenner V, Focht DD.
    Journal: FEMS Microbiol Lett; 1992 Nov 01; 77(1-3):175-80. PubMed ID: 1459405.
    Abstract:
    Pseudomonas sp. strain UCR2 was isolated from a multi-chemostat mating experiment between a chlorobenzoate-degrader, Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain JB2, and a chlorobiphenyl-degrader, Arthrobacter sp. strain B1Barc. Strain UCR2 differed from either of the parental organisms in that it grew on both 2-chloro- and 2,5-dichlorobiphenyl with concomitant release of chloride. Phenotypic typing by the Biolog system indicated that strain UCR2 shared greater similarity with strain JB2 (88%) than strain B1Barc (3%). In DNA:DNA hybridization experiments, genomic DNA from strain UCR2 hybridized with both strain JB2 and strain B1Barc, with the former pairing yielding a much stronger signal than the latter. In contrast, no hybridization whatsoever was observed when the parental organisms strains JB2 and B1Barc were probed against each other.
