Values are averages from two independent measurements. Deviations were less than 10%, and 15%, for determinations of enzyme activities, and dechlorination rates, respectively. Growth substrate concentration was always 3 mM benzoate. CC-1,2-DO: Chlorocatechol-1,2-dioxygenase. CMCI: Chloromuconate cycloisomerase. 3-CB: 3-chlorobenzoate. IPTG: Isopropyl-beta-D-thiogalactopyranoside.
ND: not determined.
