A Micrococcus sp., isolated by enrichment culture, grew on 4-chlorobiphenyl at 2 g/l as sole carbon source and produced 4-chlorobenzoic acid in the culture medium as a dead-end metabolite. The organism degraded 4-chlorobiphenyl by 2,3-dihydroxylation followed by meta-ring cleavage to yield 4-chlorob
