This bacterium has the ability to degrade 2,2DCP (2,2-dichloropropionic acid) and D,L2CP (D,L-2-chloropropionic acid) at 20 mM with cells doubling time of 7 h in 2,2DCP medium. The bacterium was able to grow at low substrate concentration of 1 mM 2,2DCP (20 times lower than normal growth concentration) with cells doubling time of approximately 7 h suggesting the dehalogenase enzyme(s) that present in the bacterium has high affinity towards the substrate. However, at 0.1 mM 2,2DCP (200 times lower than normal concentration) no halide ions were detected in the growth medium suggesting no growth was observed. The investigation highlighted degradation at low substrate concentration suggested that the isolated bacterium can live in low level of halogenated compounds. This observation may or may not involve new kinds of dehalogenases. The presence of more than one dehalogenases in a bacterial system is far from clear. 552-559
