TABLE 1.

Utilization of halogenated compounds by strain GP1

Carbon source	Concn (mM)	Generation timeb (h)	Halide productiona (mM) in:
			Inoculated medium	Sterile control
Bromopropane	2	42	2.1	0.1
1-Chloropropane	2	50	2.0	<0.1
2-Bromoethanol	1	18	1.0	0.15
2-Chloroethanol	2	20	2.0	<0.1

^aHalide levels were determined after 2 weeks of cultivation in liquid MMY at 25°C. 

^bGeneration times were determined after inoculation (1%, vol/vol) of fresh medium with cells from a culture grown on the same carbon source.
