초록
Pseudomonas sp. DJ-12 was able to degrade 4-chlorobenzoate by hydrolytic dechlorination to produce 4-hydroxybenzoate and chloride ion. The fcbABC genes responsible for the hydrolytic dechlorination were cloned from the chromosomal DNA of the organism. The genes were found to be organized in the order fcbB-fcbA-fcbC, but there was an intergenic space between the fcbA and fcbC genes.
