Isolation of local bacterial capable of degrading halogenated compounds and analysis of putative haloacid permease gene

3-chloropropionic acid and 2,2-dichloropropionic acid are 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....
