Growth onm-toluate ofPseudomonas putidacarrying the TOL plasmid is inhibited by 3-chlorocatechol. From aP. putidastrain, carrying cloned TOL genes responsible for the oxidation of methylbenzoates, we isolated a derivative able to grow onm-toluate in the presence of 3-chlorobenzoate. A point mutation inxylE, the structural gene for catechol 2,3-dioxygenase, which produced the substitution of valine-291 for isoleucine-291, was responsible for the growth characteristics of the isolate. The mutant catechol 2,3-dioxygenase has (i) decreased affinity for 3-chlorocatechol, (ii) increased affinity for 3-methylcatechol, and (iii) increased efficiency in oxidizing 4-ethylcatechol, compared to the wild-type enzyme. This strain may be useful for the decomposition ofm-toluate in industrial waste containing both 3-chlorobenzoate andm-toluate.
