Abstract
2,4-Dichloro-cis,cis-muconate is established as ringcleavage product in the degradation of 3,5-dichlorocatechol by Alcaligenes eutrophus JMP 134. The formerly described isomerization of 2-chloro-trans- to 2-chlorocis-4-carboxymethylenebut-2-en-4-olide as an essential catabolic step could not be certified.
