[Degradation of monochloro-substituted anilines by Alcaligenes faecalis].
Alcaligenes faecalis is capable of degrading 3- and 4-chloroanilines in the conditions of cooxidation. Aniline is the inductor of the enzyme systems responsible for this process. Growth substrates for A. faecalis are also active cosubstrates in the transformation of chloroanilines. Ammonium nitrogen and chloride ions are accumulated in the cultural broth in the process of transformation of 3- and 4-chloroanilines by A. faecalis. Apparently, the transformation of anilines involves cleavage of the aromatic cycle in anilines.
