FIG. 1.
Degradative pathways for 3-chlorocatechol (3-CC), 4-chlorocatechol (4-CC), and 3,5-dichlorocatechol (3,5-DCC), the central intermediates in chlorophenol degradation, as found in R. opacus 1CP (solid lines). Dashed arrows show the known proteobacterial 3-chlorocatechol pathway for comparison. Enzyme names and their designations as gene products are given.
