Journal ArticleDOI
Biodegradation of halogenated organic compounds.
G R Chaudhry,S Chapalamadugu +1 more
TL;DR: This review discusses the degradation of chlorinated hydrocarbons by microorganisms, emphasizing the physiological, biochemical, and genetic basis of the biodegradation of aliphatic, aromatic, and polycyclic compounds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of chlorine substitution on the bacterial metabolism of various polychlorinated biphenyls.
TL;DR: Two major metabolites of a chlorobenzoic acid and an unknown compound accumulated always in the metabolism of this group of polychlorinated biphenyls, which are all chlorinated at the 2,4'-position in the molecules in common.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cloning of a gene cluster encoding biphenyl and chlorobiphenyl degradation in Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes.
Kensuke Furukawa,T Miyazaki +1 more
TL;DR: A gene cluster encoding biphenyl- and chlorobipheny-degrading enzymes was cloned from a soil pseudomonad into Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1161, and subcloning experiments revealed that the genes bphA, bphB, and bphC were coded for by the 7.9-kilobase fragment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Accumulation and elimination kinetics of di-, tri- and tetra chlorobiphenyls by goldfish after dietary and aqueous exposure
TL;DR: In this article, the first order rate constants for uptake from water and clearance were determined after simultaneous administration of the five compounds in constant concentration, and were related to bioconcentration factors obtained in a static fish-water equilibration system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Involvement of plasmids in total degradation of chlorinated biphenyls
K. Furukawa,A M Chakrabarty +1 more
TL;DR: A combined culture of the chlorinated BP-dissimilating P6 or M5 strain and genetically constructed mono- or dichlorobenzoate-utilizing pseudomonads allowed greater than 98% utilization of mono- and dichlorOBiphenyls, with the liberation of equivalent amounts of chloride ions.

Degradation of polychlorinated biphenyls by two species of Achromobacter.
M. Ahmed,D. D. Focht +1 more
TL;DR: Benzoic and p-chlorobenzoic acids were produced from the degradation of BP and p CB, respectively, by Achromobacter pCB, indicating divergent degradation pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI
A gas-liquid-chromatographic procedure for separating a wide range of metabolites occuring in urine or tissue extracts
TL;DR: Combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry gives a diagnostic tool of great power in the evaluation of metabolic patterns, and various uses are discussed.
