title: Metabolism of 2-chlorobenzoic acid in Pseudomonas stutzeri.
abstract: 3-Chloropyrocatechol is formed as a result of oxidation of 2-chlorobenzoate by Pseudomonas stutzeri. 2-Chloro-cis,cis-muconic acid is the product of oxidation of 3-chloropyrocatechol. A catabolic pathway for the degradation of 2-chlorobenzoate by a newly isolated strain of P. stutzeri is proposed.
