Abstract: Examines the diversity of the plasmids and of the gene tdnQ, involved in the oxidative deamination of aniline, in five bacterial strains that are able to metabolize both aniline and 3-chloroaniline (3-CA). Isolation and identification of 3-CA-metabolizing bacteria; Involvement of plasmids in aniline and 3-CA degradation; Comparison of partial tdnQ sequences.
