Abstract:Bacteria make a huge contribution to the purification of the environment from toxic stable pollutants of anthropogenic and natural origin due to the diversity of their enzyme systems. For example, the ability to decompose 3-chlorobenzoate (3CBA) by the four representative genera of Actinobacteria, such as Rhodococcus, Gordonia, Microbacterium, and Arthrobacter, was studied. In most cases, the formation of 4-chlorocatechol as the only key intermediate during the decomposition of 3CBA was observed. However, Rhod… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
