4-Chloroaniline was degraded through at least two metabolic pathways by the soil fungus Fusarium oxysporum Schlecht. Oxidation of the aro-matic amine group was the major mechanism of 4-chloroaniline metabolism, but acylation of the aromatic amine group also occurred. 4-Chlorophenylhydroxylamine, 4-chloronitrosobenzene, 4-chloronitrobenzene, 4, 4'-dichloroazobenzene, 4, 4'-dichloroazoxybenzene, and 4'-chloroacetanilide were isolated as metabolites of 4-chloroaniline. The identity of several of these metabolites was established by comparison of their chemical and physical properties with synthetic samples. It is probable that 4, 4'-dichloroazoxybenzene was formed by oxidative condensation of two mole-cules of4-chlorophenylhydroxylamine or by the condensation of 4-chlorophenylhydroxylamine with 4-chloronitrosobenzene. 4, 4'-Dichloroazo-benzene could be formed by either the condensa-tion of 4-chloroaniline with 4-chloronitrosoben-zene or by reduction of 4, 4'-dichloroazoxyben-zene. Further oxidation of 4-chloroaniline and its products to phenolic metabolites and the liberation of CK were also observed.The aniline moiety constitutes a basic part of numerous pesticides. These pesticides are nearly all degraded in the environment, with the ultimate liberation of the aniline as a free entity. Subsequent degradation of this moiety is not well understood. Mechanisms of chloroaniline transformation in soil and chemical systems havebeen examined by numerous investigators. Both degradative and synthetic reactions have been reported. Evolution of small amounts of 14C02 from soils receiving 14C-phényl-labeled 3', 4'-dichloropropionanilide (propanil) suggests that some deg-radation of the aniline moiety occurs(Chisaka and Kear-ney, 1970). Condensation reactionsresulting in the formation of both symmetrical and asymmetrical azobenzenes have been reported (Bartha and Pramer, 1967; Bartha, 1969; Kearney et ai, 1969; Plimmer et al., 1970). The condensation of three molecules of 3, 4-dichloroaniline to form 4-(3, 4-dichloroanilino)-3, 3,, 4'-tetrachloroazobenzene has also been reported (Rosenet al., 1969). We reported the formation of 3, 3', 4, 4'-tetrachloroazoxybenzene during the metabolism of 3, 4-dichloroaniline by the soil fungus Fusarium oxysporum Schlecht (Kaufman et ai, 1971,
