Abstract:
Among 22 studied collection cultures belonging to the genus Pseudomonas, 11 cultures transformed 3,4-dichloraniline yielding 3,4-dichloroacetanilide in the absence of growth under the conditions of cometabolism; therefore, this capacity in rather typical of Pseudomonas cultures. A number of aliphatic and aromatic compounds were found to be effective cosubstrates of acetylation. Enzyme systems catalyzing the process of acetylation are constitutive. The results support the possibility of microbial acetylation being involved in the transformation of toxic compounds in soil.
