Optically pure(-)-and (+)-$\alpha$-hydroxy-$\alpha$-(p-chlorobiphenyl)acetic acids were prepared. The racemate was synthesized through three steps. By condensation of p-cnorobiphenyl with diethyl ketomalonate in the presence of SnCl$_{4}$, diethyl $\alpha$-hydroxy-$\alpha$-(p-chlorobiphenyl)malonate (1) was formed and subsequently ($\pm$)-$\alpha$-hydroxy-$\alpha$-(p-chlorobiphenyl)acetic acid (3) was obtained through hydrolysis and decarboxylation. For the separation of the racemate the classical resolution method, derivatization of a racemate by reaction with an optically pure compound was employed. In this case the optically pure compound were [R]-(+)-$\alpha$-methylbenzylamine and [S]-(-)-$\alpha$-methylbenzylamine. Diastereomeric salts between acids and bases could be easily separated by crystallization in absolute ethanol.

4-Aryl-2-hydroxytetronic acids which can be construded as a "lipophilic vitamin C analogue", are known to have antilipidemic and antiaggregatory activities in stead of antiscorb utic activity of vitamin C. A new compound 4-(p-chlorobiphenyl)-2-hydroxytetronic acid (8), which is structurally closely connected with the most active 4-(p-chlorophenyl)-2-hydroxytetronic acid, was synthesized from alpha-(p-chlorobiphenyl)-alpha-hydroxyacetic acid (1) through 7 steps as a potentially bioactive compound.

4-Chlorobiphebyl(4CB)를 분해한 Pseudomonas sp. DJ-12가 가지고 있는 pcbABCD 유전자를 Escherichia coli에 클로닝한 결과, 재조합 균주인 E. coli CU1과 CU101은 모두 Pseudomonas sp. DJ-12에서와 같이 4CB를 분해하여 2,3-dihydrozybiphenyl(2,3-DHBP)을 생성하는 탈염소화 기능을 보여주었다. 특히 pcbAB를 포함하는 재조합 플라스미드인 pCU101을 가지고 있는 E. coli CU101은 Pserudomonas sp. DJ-12에서와 같이 4CB로부터 4-chlorobenzoic acid를 생성하지 않고 2, 3-DHBP만을 생성하는 탈염소화 기능을 보여주었다. 그러므로 Pseudomonas sp. DJ-12의 염색체 DNA로부터 클로닝한 약 2.2kb의 pcbAB 유전자는 4CB로부터 2,3-DHBP만을 생성하는 탈염소화기능을 가지고 있음이 밝혀졌다.

아닐린분해능이 있는 Flavimonas oryzihabitans과 4-chlorobiphenyl (4-CBP)를 분해하는 Pseudomonas sp.를 원형질체 융합하여 아닐린과 4-CBP를 모두 분해하는 융합균주를 개발하고, 융합체의 특성을 조사하였다. F. oryzibhavitans는 융합체 선별표지 위애 NTG처리하여 chloramphenicol 내성 ($Cm^r$)을 유발하였다. Lysozyme-EDTA에 의한 각 모균주의 원형질체 생성율은 약 99%이었고, 원형질체의 재생율은 5.0~6.6%이었다. 원형질체는 40% PEG 6000을 사용하였을 때 효과적으로 융합이 이루어졌으며 융합율은 $3.16{\times}10^{-4} $이었다. 융합균인 F22의 DNA양는 모균주에 비해 약 2배 정도 증가 하였으며, 생화학적 특성은 모균주의 특성이 혼합하여 나타났다. F22는 5 mM 아닐린 최소배지에서는 모균주와 성장능과 분해능이 거의 비슷하였고, 10 mM 아닐린 최소배지에서는 1.5배 빠른 성장속도를 나타내었으나, 4-CBP 분해능은 모균주보다 약간 낮게 나타났다.

Laser optoacoustic technique has been employed to obtain the gas phase absorption spectra of 1-chloronaphthalene, 3-chlorobiphenyl, and 2,5,2'-trichlorobiphenyl in conjunction with a gas chromatograph and a Helmholtz resonator at the various $CO_2$ laser wavelengths. Raman spectra of 1-chloronaphthalene, 4-chlorobiphenyl, and 4,4'-dichlorobiphenyl in condensed phase have been also obtained. The optoacoustic measurement of the infrared absorption in gas phase has been shown to be of value in monitoring the environmental pollutants.

The homology among the genes coding for degradation of bipheny(BP) and 4-chlorobiphenyl(4CB) was comparatively analyzed by Southern hybridization in several BP/4CB degrading bacterial strains. As the hybridization results of their genomic DNAs with pcbABCD as the DNA probe, the group of Pseudomonas sp. DJ-12. P08 and P27 strain was separated by the group of P20 and P1242 strains. The P. pseudoalcaligenes KF707 showed the hybidization signal which was homologous to the group of DJ-12, but they had different restriction endonuclease sites. The pcbAB genes in pCUl recombinant plasmid from Pseudomonas sp. DJ-12 appeared to be homologous to pchAB genes in pKTF20 cloned from P. pseudoalcaligenes KF707, but the C genes in both strains were not homologous. The bphABC in pKTF20 showed the signals homologous to the cbp ACB in pAW6194 cloned from P. putida OU83, but homologous signal was not found botween the pcbABCD genes in pCUl and the cbpADCB genes in pAW6194 recombbinant plasmid.

Pseudomonas sp. strain DJ-12 is a bacterial isolate capable of degrading 4-chlorobiphenyl (4CBP) as a carbon and energy source. The catabolic degradation of 4CBP by the strain DJ-12 was studied along with the genetic organization of the genes responsible for the crucial steps of the catabolic degradation. The catabolic pathway was characterized as being conducted by consecutive reactions of the meta-cleavage of 4CBP, hydrolytic dechlorination of 4-chlorobenzoate (4CBA), hydroxylation of 4-hydroxybenzoate, and meta-cleavage of protocatechuate. The pcbC gene responsible for the meta-cleavage of 4CBP only showed a 30 to 40% homology in its deduced amino acid sequence compared to those of the corresponding genes from other strains. The amino acid sequence of 4CBA-CoA dechlorinase showed an 86% homology with that of Pseudomonas sp. CBS3, yet only a 50% homology with that of Arthrobacter spp. However, the fcb genes for the hydrolytic dechlorination of 4CBA in Pseudomonas sp. DJ-12 showed an uniquely different organization from those of CBS3 and other reported strains. Accordingly, these results indicate that strain DJ-12 can degrade 4CBA completely via meta-cleavage and hydrolytic dechlorination using enzymes that are uniquely different in their amino acid sequences from those of other bacterial strains with the same degradation activities.

The competitive quantitative PCR method targeting pcbC gene was developed for monitoring 4-chlorobiphenyl(4CB)-degrading bacteria, Pseudomonas sp. strain DJ-12, in soil microcosms. The method involves extraction of DNA from soil contaminated with 4CB, PCR amplification of a pcbC gene fragment from the introduced strain with a set of strain-specific primers, and quantification of the elec-trophoresed PCR product by densitometry. To test the adequacy of the method, Pseudomonas sp. strain DJ-12 was introduced into both contaminated and non-contaminated soil microcosms amended with 4CB. Pseudomonas sp. strain DJ-12 was monitored and quantified by a competitive quantitative PCR in comparison with 4CB degradation and the result was compared to those obtained by using the conventional cultivation method. We successfully detected and monitored 4CB-degrading bacteria in each microcosm and found a significant linear relationship between the number of 4CB-degrading bacteria and the capacity for 4CB biodegradation. The results of DNA spiking and cell-spreading experiments suggest that this competitive quantitative PCR method targeting the pcbC gene for monitoring 4CB- degrading bacteria appears to be rapid, sensitive and more suitable than the microbiological approach in estimating the capacity of 4CB biodegradation in environmental samples.

Pseudomonas sp. P20 and Pseudomonas sp. DJ-12 isolated from the polluted environment are capable of degrading biphenyl and 4-chlorobiphenyl (4CB) to produce benzoic acid and 4-chlorobenzoic acid (4CBA) respectively, by pcbABCD-encoded enzymes. 4CBA can be further degraded by Pseudomonas sp. DJ-12, but not by Pseudomonas sp P20. However, the meta-cleavage activities of 2, 3-dihydroxybiphenyl (2, 3-DHBP) and 4-chloro-2, 3-DHBP dioxygenases (2, 3-DHBD) encoded by pcbC in Pseudomonas sp. P20 were stronger than Pseudomonas sp. DJ-12. In this study, the pcbC gene encoding 2, 3-DHBD was cloned from the genomic DNA of Pseudomonas sp. P20 by using pKT230. A hybrid plasmid pKK1 was constructed and E. coli KK1 transformant was selected by transforming the pKK1 hybrid plasmid carrying pcbC into E. coli XL1-Blue. By transferring the pKK1 plasmide of E. coli KK1 into Pseudomonas sp. DJ-12 by conjugation, a recombinant strain Pseudomonas sp. P20, Pseudomonas sp. DJ-12, and the recombinant cell assay methods. Pseudomonas sp. DJ12-C readily degraded 4CB and 2, 3-DHBP to produce 2-hydroxy-6-oxo-6-phenylhexa-2, 4-dienoic acid (HOPDA), and the resulting 4CBA and benzoic acid were continuously catabolized. Pseudomonas sp. DJ12-C degraded 1 mM 4CB completely after incubation for 20 h, but Pseudomonas sp. P20 and Pseudomonas sp. DJ-12 showed only 90% and Pseudomonas sp. DJ-12 had, but its degradation activity to 2, 3-DHBP, 3-methylcatechol, and catechol was improved.

4-chlorobiphenyl (4CB)의 분해균주인 Pseudomonas sp. strain DJ-12의 16S rDNA의 염기서열을 분석한 결과 Comamonas sp. strain DJ-12로 재분류 되었다. Pseudomonas sp. strain DJ-12로부터 4CB의 분해결과 생성되는 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl을 계속 분해하는데 관여하는 pcbC1Dl 유전자를 이미 보고된 바 있다. 이번 연구에서는 Comamonas sp. strain DJ-12로부터 4CB 분해에 관여하는 pcbABC2D2 유전자를 클로닝하여 염기서열을 분석하였다. PcbAB 및 pcbCD 유전자들의 염기서열은 48, 65％, 추정 아미노산 서열은 33, 42％의 낮은 유사도를 보였다. 본 연구에서 얻어진 pcbC2D2 유전자는 이미 보고만 pcbCIDl 유전자와 염기의 개수와 서열의 유사도가 서로 다름을 보여 주었다. Comamonas sp. strain DJ-12의 두 가지 pcbCD유전자들은 Southern hybridization 결과에서도 유사성을 보이지 않았으며, 서로 다른 위치에 존재함을 보여주었다. 그러나 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl의 분해 특성은 동일하였다. 이와 같은 결과는 Comamonas sp. strain DJ-12 균주가 2조의 pcbCD 유전자를 가지고 있다는 것을 의미하는 것이다.
