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.

토양 시료를 대상으로 3.4-dichloroaniline (DCA)를 함유한 최소배지에서의 집식배양과 배양 후 HPLC에 의한 잔류분석을 통해 3,4-DCA의 분해 능력이 우수한 균주 Pseudomonas sp. KB35B를 분리하였다. 분리균 KB35B는 1/10 LB배지에 함유된 50 ppm의 3,4-DCA를 12시간만에 완전히 제거하였다. 이외에도 분리균 KB35B는 3-chloroaniline (CA), 4-CA 및 2,4-DCA의 분해 활성을 나타내었으나 2,5-DCA와 3,5-DCA에 대한 분해활성을 가지고 있지는 않았다. 또한, 분리균 KB35B에서 3,4-DCA의 유도에 의한 catechol 2,3-dioxygenase 활성의 증가가 관찰되었다. 이상의 결과로부터 catechol 2,3-dioxygenase이 3,4-DCA 분해에 관여하는 중요한 효소군중의 하나로 생각된다.
