A 4-chlorobenzoate-degrading Pseudomonas sp. US1 was mated with a strain of Escherichia coli JMP 397 (harbouring the plasmid pJP4). An ex-conjugant designated Pseudomonas sp. US1 ex that could utilize all the isomeric monochlorobenzoates and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetate was obtained. The ex-conjugant released stoichiometric amounts of chloride when grown on these chloroaromatics as sole sources of carbon and energy.
