title: [Isolation, idetification of 1,2, 4-trichlorobenzene-degrading strain Pseudomonas nitroreducens J5-1 and cloning of chlorocatechol 1,2-dioxygenase gene].
abstract: A bacterium capable of utilizing 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene as sole carbon source was isolated from the polluted soil sample. This baterium was identified as Pseudomonas nitroreducens according to its physiological & biochemical analysis and its 16S rDNA sequence (GenBank Accession No. EF107515). When the initial concentration of 1,2,4-TCB is 400 mg/L, J5-1 can achieve a maximum degradation rate of 90%. When the initial concentration of 1,2,4-TCB is 20 mg/L, the effect of degradation is the best. Degradation of 1,2,4-TCB by strain J5-1 obeys the first order dynamics. The total gene of chlorocatechol 1,2-dioxygenase was cloned from genomic DNA of J5-1.
