The 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequence of the pentachlorophenol degrader Sphingomonas chlorophenolica strain RA2 was used to generate specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) primers for the detection of this strain in soil, whereas a region internal to the two primers was used to provide an S. chlorophenolica strain RA2-specific oligonucleotide probe.

This bacterium, identified as Sphingomonas sp. strain RA2, is able to degrade PCP at concentrations of up to 300 micrograms/mL in liquid culture.

The addition of a PCP-mineralizing bacterium, Sphingomonas chlorophenolica strain RA2, enhanced the recovery of methane-oxidizing capacity relative to uninoculated treatments when soil was contaminated with low concentrations of PCP (10 and 50 microg/g soil, ppm).

In order to gain further insight into the phylogenetic relationships of PCP-degrading bacteria, we examined four strains: Arthrobacter sp. strain ATCC 33790, Flavobacterium sp. strain ATCC 39723, Pseudomonas sp. strain SR3, and Sphingomonas sp. strain RA2.
