Abstract A pseudomonad has been isolated from sewage, which can utilize 3-chlorobenzoic acid as a sole carbon source. In cells grown on benzoate the enzymes of the β-ketoadipic acid pathway are present. Considerable enzymic activities for chlorinated substrates were found in benzoate grown cells only for the oxygenation of 3-chlorobenzoate and the dehydrogenation of 3- and 5-chloro-3,5-cyclohexadiene-1,2-diol-1-carboxylic acid. 3-Chlorobenzoate grown cells show additional high activities for the turnover of 3- and 4-chlorocatechols and chloromuconic acids.
