Rhodococcus erythropolis HL 24-1 isolated as a 2,4-dinitrophenol-degrading organism can utilize 2-chloro-4,6-dinitrophenol as the sole nitrogen, carbon, and energy source under aerobic conditions. This compound is metabolized with liberation of stoichiometric amounts of chloride and nitrite. Under anaerobic conditions, 2,4-dinitrophenol
