Abstract
Metabolism of 2,4,4′-trichlorobiphenyl by Acinetobacter sp. strain P6 has been studied. When the incubation was carried out without shaking at 15°C, two isomeric monohydroxy compounds, a dihydrodiol compound, a dihydroxy compound, a meta-cleaved yellow compound and a dichlorobenzoic acid were detected by combined gas liquid chromatograph-mass spectrometry. As an additional metabolite, dichlorodihydroxy biphenyl, a dechlorinationhydroxylation product, was also detected. When the incubation mixture was shaken at 30°C, a meta-cleaved yellow compound was readily produced and predominantly accumulated in the reaction mixture upon further incubation. The major pathway of 2,4,4′-trichlorobiphenyl by Acinetobacter sp. P6 was considered to proceed oxidatively via 2.′3′-dihydro-2′,3′-diol compound, concomitant dehydrogenated 2′,3′-dihydroxy compound and then the 1′,2′-meta-cleaved yellow compound, i.e., 3-chloro-2-hydroxy-6-oxo-6(2,4-dichlorophenyl)hexa-2,4-dienoic acid.
