Abstract
A mutant strain of Azotobacter sp. GPI converted 4-chlorophenol to 4-c hlorocatechol under cometabolic conditions. Under the same conditions the wild-type strain accumulated a yellow compound, which by chemical and spectroscopic methods was identified as 5-chloro-2-hydroxy-6-oxohe xadienoic acid (5-chloro-2-hydroxy-muconic Semialdehyde). The structur e of this compound indicates a meta-proximal cleavage of 4-chlorocatec hol.
