Degradation of 3-chloropropionic acid by escherichia coli JM109 expressing dehalogenase (deh) gene used as selection marker

3-Chloropropionic acid (3CP) in its carboxylate ionic form is a synthetic compound found in herbicide. The biodegradability of 3CP is not well documented but a microbe that has the ability to utilise 3CP as sole carbon and energy source has been isolated. The dehalogenase gene (deh) cloned from Rhod...
