Enzymatic study of the Dehalogenases involved in biodegradation of a herbicide 3-chloropropionic acid (3cp) by a novel indigenous bacteria
3-chloropropionic acid is synthetic halogenated compounds used in herbicide. A bacterium isolated from a soil sample and characterised as Rhodococcus sp. by 16S rRNA analysis, was able to degrade and utilised 3-chloropropionate as the sole source of carbon and energy. This was supported by the abili...
