Abstract
The isolation of a pure culture of bacteria able to use 3,5,6-trichlor o-2-pyridinol (TCP) as a sole source of carbon and energy under aerobi c conditions was achieved for the first time. The bacterium was identi fied as a Pseudomonas sp. and designated ATCC 700113. [2,6-C-14]TCP de gradation yielded (CO2)-C-14, chloride, and unidentified polar metabol ites.
