A site situated near Alkali Lake (Oregon) and highly contaminated by chloroaromatic compounds was chosen for isolation of alkaliphilic chlorophenol-degrading bacteria. Prolonged cultivation of an enrichment culture followed by successive transfers resulted in a strong increase in the 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (2,4,6-TCP) degradation rate. Repetitive extragenic palindromic PCR and amplified ribosomal DNA restriction analysis were applied to distinguish members of the enrichment culture and monitor them during the enrichment procedure. Comparison of the fingerprints of the isolates obtained from the enrichment culture and its total DNA fingerprint indicated the presence of an unidentified bacterium in the enrichment culture, assisting in its isolation. The 2,4,6-TCP-degrading isolate, M6, was tentatively identified as a Nocardioides sp. strain based on its partial 16S RNA sequence and fatty acid profile. Strain M6 was capable of utilizing up to 1.6 g of 2,4,6-TCP per liter as a sole carbon and energy source and could also grow on 2,4-dichlorophenol and 2,4,5-trichlorophenol. A high-cell-density suspension of this strain degraded a wide range of chlorinated phenols from di- to pentachlorophenol while showing a clear preference for phenols containing chlorine substituents in positions 2 plus 4. Based on its optimal pH (9.0 to 9.4) and sodium ion concentration (0.2 to 0.4 M) for growth, Nocardioides sp. strain M6 is a slightly halophilic alkaliphile.
