Abstract
Biphenyl-grown cells and cell extracts prepared from biphenyl-grown ce lls of Pseudomonas sp. strain LB400 oxidize a much wider range of chlo rinated biphenyls than do analogous preparations from Pseudomonas pseu doakaligenes KF707. These results are attributed to differences in the substrate specificity of the biphenyl 2,3-dioxygenases from both orga nisms.
