Pseudomonas putida mt-2, P. cepacia G4, P. mendocina KR1, and P. putida F1 degrade toluene through different pathways. In this study, we compared the competition behaviors of these strains in chemostat culture at a low growth rate (D = 0.05 h-1), with toluene as the sole source of carbon and energy. Either toluene or oxygen was growth limiting. Under toluene-limiting conditions, P. mendocina KR1, in which initial attack is by monooxygenation of the aromatic nucleus at the para position, outcompeted the other three strains. Under oxygen limitation, P. cepacia G4, which hydroxylates toluene in the ortho position, was the most competitive strain. P. putida mt-2, which metabolizes toluene via oxidation of the methyl group, was the least competitive strain under both growth conditions. The apparent superiority of strains carrying toluene degradation pathways that start degradation by hydroxylation of the aromatic nucleus was also found during competition experiments with pairs of strains of P. cepacia, P. fluorescence, and P. putida that were freshly isolated from contaminated soil.
