title: Bacterial metabolism of 3-chloroacrylic acid.
abstract: Two bacterial strains were isolated with 3-chloroacrylic acid (CAA) as sole source of carbon and energy. Strain CAA1, a Pseudomonas cepacia sp., was capable of growth with only the cis-isomer of CAA. Strain CAA2, a coryneform bacterium, utilized both isomers of CAA as sole source of carbon and energy. Strain CAA1 contained cis-CAA hydratase and strain CAA2 contained two hydratases, one with cis-CAA hydratase activity and one with trans-CAA hydratase activity. The product of the hydratase activities with CAA was malonate semialdehyde. In both strains malonate semialdehyde was subsequently decarboxylated by a cofactor-independent decarboxylase yielding acetaldehyde and CO2.
