Abstract
Abstract A pseudomonad has been isolated from soil which can utilize 2-fluorobenzoic acid as a sole carbon source. On this carbon source 3-fluorocatechol and 2-fluoromuconic acid have been isolated from the growth medium. Over 80% of the fluorine in 2-fluorobenzoic acid can be released as fluoride during the growth of the organism.
