2-Chloro-N-isopropylacetanilide (Propachlor) is an acetamide herbicide widely used to protect corn, onion, cabbage, rose bushes, and ornamental plants. This chemical dissipates primarily by biodegradation in the soil ([http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9925619|Martin et al., 1999]), or in water ([http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2604396|Steen and Colette, 1989]). Two of the pathways share the same first step ([http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9925619|Martin et al., 1999]), and are intiated by Pseudomonas sp. PEM1, Acinetobacter sp. BEM2, and Pseudomonas sp. GH1 ([http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10698790|Martin et al., 2000]). The other pathway is begun by Moraxella sp. DAK3 and continued by Xanthobacter sp. MAB2, ATCC 49876 ([http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1768085|Villarreal et al. 1991]).
