TLDR
The data indicate that cometabolism by the arthrobacter results from the formation of products by its benzoate-oxiding enzyme system that are not acted upon by the catechol-metabolizing enzymes of the bacterium.Abstract:
Twenty isolates representing nine bacterial genera were obtained from enrichment cultures and were shown to cometabolize one or more of 22 substituted benzoates. One of the isolates, an Arthrobacter sp., cometabolized m-chlorobenzoate to a product identified as 4-chlorocatechol by thin-layer chromatography and ultraviolet and infrared spectroscopy. The data indicate that cometabolism by the arthrobacter results from the formation of products by its benzoate-oxiding enzyme system that are not acted upon by the catechol-metabolizing enzymes of the bacterium.read more

Isolation and characterization of a 3-chlorobenzoate degrading pseudomonad.
TL;DR: A pseudomonad has been isolated from sewage, which can utilize 3-chlorobenzoic acid as a sole carbon source and cells grown on benzoate show additional high activities for the turnover of 3- and 4-chlorocatechols and chloromuconic acids.

Suicide Inactivation of Catechol 2,3-Dioxygenase from Pseudomonas putida mt-2 by 3-Halocatechols
TL;DR: Rates of inactivation by 3-fluorocatechol were reduced in the presence of superoxide dismutase, catalase, formate, and mannitol, which implies that superoxide anion, hydrogen peroxide, and hydroxyl radical exhibit additional inactivation.
