Survival of the 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) degrading Alcaligenes eutrophus strain AEO106 harboring the catabolic plasmid PRO101 was studied in lake water from the eutrophic lake Frederiksborg Slotsso. Survival experiments were performed for periods of 7 days in laboratory microcosms containing filtered (0.2-micrometer pore size) or natural lake water amended with increasing concentrations of 2,4-D. A. eutrophus AE0106 was detected by combining the fluorescent antibody method with selective and nonselective plating followed by colony blotting and colony hybridization. Comparison of colony blotting and colony hybridization demonstrated that the A. eutrophus AE0106 host organism and the catabolic plasmid pRO101 had similar fates in the model system employed. In all experiments culturable counts of A. eutrophus AE0106 were lower than fluorescent antibody counts and frequently a decline in culturable counts occurred at times when the fluorescent antibody method showed an increasing population size. Amendment with 2,4-D increased survival of A. eutrophus AE0106 both in filtered and in natural lake water. Survival was always poorer in model systems with natural water than in 0.2 micrometer-filtered water.
