Abstract Pseudomonas putida KT2440 is often used as a model to investigate toxicity mechanisms and adaptation to hazardous chemicals in bacteria. The objective of this paper was to test the impact of the chlorophenoxy herbicides 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 2-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)propanoic acid (DCPP) and their metabolites 2,4-dichlorophenol (DCP) and 3,5-dichlorocatechol (DCC), on protein expression patterns and physiological parameters. Both approaches showed that DCC has a different mode of action and induces different responses than DCPP, 2,4-D and DCP. DCC was the most toxic compound and was active as an uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation. It repressed the synthesis of ferric uptake regulator (Fur)-dependent proteins, e.g. fumarase C and L-ornithine N5-oxygenase, which are involved in oxidative stress response and iron uptake. DCPP, 2,4-D and DCP were less toxic than DCC. They disturbed oxidative phosphorylation to a lesser extent by a yet unknown mechanism. Furthermore, they repressed enzymes of energy-consuming biosynthetic pathways and induced membrane transporters for organic substrates. A TolC homologue component of multidrug resistance transporters was found to be induced, which is probably involved in the removal of lipophilic compounds from membranes.
