The isolation of a microorganism that utilizes 1,2-dibromoethane as a growth substrate. Degradation occurs via a pathway in which 2-bromoethanol is converted to epoxyethane instead of the toxic bromoacetaldehyde.

A paper providing the first experimental evidence that many Mycobacteria produce haloalkane dehalogenases, suggesting a possible role for these microorganisms in the distribution of degradation genes in the environment. The physiological function of these enzymes is still unknown.

Catalytic properties of the 3-chlorocatechol-oxidizing 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl 1,2-dioxygenase from Sphingomonas sp. strain BN6. J Bacteriol. 181:1999;4812-4817. A study on an extradiol dioxygenase that cleaves 3-chlorocatechol at the 1,6 position, rather than at the 2,3 position. The enzyme is also inactivated by chloro- and methyl-catechols, not by covalent modification but by loss of the ferric ion which is less tightly bound in the 1,6-cleaving enzyme than in 2,3-cleaving enzymes.

The critical differences between two similar catechol 2,3-dioxygenases that are resistant and sensitive to 3-chlorocatechol, respectively, are identified.
