Abstract

Pseudomonas sp. P20 was a bacterial isolate which has the ability to degrade 4-chlorobi- phenyl(4CB) to 4-chlorobenzoic acid via the process of meta-cleavage. The recombinant plasmid pCK1 was constructed by insetting the 14-kb EcoRI fragment of the chromosomal DNA containing the 4CB-degrading genes into the vector pBluescript SK(+). Subsequently, E. coli XL1-Blue was transformed with the hybrid plasmid producing the recombinant E. coli CK1. The recombinant cells degraded 4CB and 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl(2,3-DHBP) by the pcbAB and pcbCD gene products, respectively. The pcbC gene was expressed most abundantly at the late exponential phase in E. coli CK1 as well as in Pseudomonas sp. P20, and the level of the pcbC gene product, 2,3-DHBP dioxygenase, expressed in E. coli CK1 was about two-times higher than in Pseudomonas sp. P20. The activities of 2,3-DHBP dioxygenase on catechol and 3-methylcatechol were about 26 to 31% of its activity on 2,3-DHBP, but the enzyme did not reveal any activities on 4-methylcatechol and 4-chlorocatechol.
