Putative 3-chlorobenzoate (3-CB) degradation via chlorocatechol (CC) ortho-cleavage pathways involved in the isolates (a). Putative 4-HB and 3-HB degradation via PC and GS in the isolates, respectively (b). The strains 19CS4-2,19CS9-1 and 19C6 are colored in blue, green and pink, respectively. The enzyme is unknown in the conversion of 3-CBA to 4 or 3-HB. Abbreviations: 3-CB, 3-chlorobenzoate; 3-Cl-DHB, chloro-3,5-cyclohexadiene-1,2-diol-1-carboxylate; CC, chlorocatechol; DO, dioxygenase; GS, gentisate; HB, hydroxybenzoate; MO, monooxygenase, PC, protocatechuate.
