Bromoalkane-degrading Pseudomonas strains

Article Abstract:

The isolation and characterization of two Pseudomonas strains capable of degrading a wide range of bromoalkanes were reported. The emulsification and dehalogenation of water-insoluble haloalkanes by these strains were also described. Utilization of 1-bromooctane appears to be a three-step process: (i) substrate emulsification by a surface-active compound, (ii) dehalogenation by an inducible dehalogenase and (iii) intracellular degradation.
