For 3-chlorobenzoate, an alternative pathway in Alcaligenes sp. strain BR60 may involve 3,4- or 4,5-dioxygenation. Ring fission of the catechols resulted in the production of pyruvate and oxalacetate (Nakatsu and Wyndham 1993). 

Alcaligenes sp. Strain IN3 [326] Susanne Fetzner Selective to indole. Degrade through the anthranilic acid pathway... 

In addition to the cultures identified for quinoline degradation, pyridine degraders were also found, namely Agrobacterium sp., Nocardia sp. strain PNO, Achromobacter sp., Rhodococcus opacus, and Arthrobacter crystallopoietes. The strain Alcaligenes sp. strain IN3 was reported to metabolize indole. 

Alvarez-Cohen et al. [91] explicitly showed that microbial transformation rates of trichloroethylene (TCE) were proportional to the aqueous TCE concentrations and independent from zeolite-sorbed TCE concentrations. Apparently in contrast to these findings, Crocker et al. [92] reported on the direct bioavailability of naphthalene sorbed to hexadecyltrimethylammonium (HDTMA)-modified smectite clay to Pseudomonas putida 17848, but not to Alcaligenes sp. strain NP-Alk. It should be noted that sorption to the hexadecyl chains of HDTMA resembles more the solubilisation by a surfactant than adsorption to a solid surface. Possibly, hydrophobic surface structures of strain 17848 allowed the close contact with HDTMA, thereby facilitating the uptake of naphthalene by a lipophilic pathway.

This iron-dependent enzyme [EC 1.13.11.2], also called metapyrocatechase, catalyzes the reaction of catechol with dioxygen to produce 2-hydroxymuconate semialdehyde. The enzyme from Alcaligenes sp. strain 0-1 reportedly catalyzes the reaction of 3-sulfocatechol with dioxygen and water to produce (2E,4Z)-2-hydroxymuconate and bisulfite.
