Abstract

1,2-Dichloroethane (5 mM) served as the only carbon and energy source for bacterium DE2, a gram-negative, oxidase-positive, motile rod. The specific growth rate mu of strain DE2 on 1,2-dichloroethane was 0.08 h-1. A NAD-dependent 2-chloroacetaldehyde dehydrogenase activity and a 2-chloroacetate halidohydrolase activity were detected in extracts of cells grown on 1,2-dichloroethane.
