Degradation of 1,4-dichlorobenzene by Alcaligenes sp. strain A175
Open accessAbstract
An organism, identified as an Alcaligenes sp., was isolated from an enrichment culture in which 1,4-dichlorobenzene served as the sole carbon and energy source. During growth with 1,4-dichlorobenzene in pure culture, stoichiometric amounts of chloride were released. Growth experiments and oxygen uptake rates with other chlorinated aromatic compounds revealed a high degree of specificity of the initial dioxygenase. cis-1,2-Dihydroxycyclohexa-3,5-diene oxidoreductase and 1,2-pyrocatechase, but not 2,3-pyrocatechase, were found in cell extracts, while 3,6-dichlorocatechol and (2,5-dichloro)muconic acid could be detected as intermediates during degradation of 1,4-dichlorobenzene. It is proposed that dioxygenases are involved in the initial steps of 1,4-dichlorobenzene degradation, while ring opening proceeds via ortho cleavage.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
