Publisher Summary This chapter presents an overview of microbial degradation of
nitroaromatic compounds. Nitroaromatics are produced on a massive scale in the …

For several decades, industrial chemicals have been released into the environment on a
massive scale. Many of them are readily degraded by soil and aquatic microorganisms but a …

1. The absorption coefficient of human neutrophil plasma-membrane reduced-minus-
oxidized cytochrome b-245 was determined [delta epsilon (mM; 559-540 nm)= 21.6 cm-1]. 2 …

Publisher Summary The role of microorganisms in maintaining steady-state concentrations
of environmental chemicals is well established and these activities constitute the basis for …

Pseudomonas putida P111 was isolated by enrichment culture on 2, 5-dichlorobenzoate
and was also able to grow on 2-chloro-, 3-chloro-, 4-chloro-, 2, 3-dichloro-, 2, 4-dichloro …

Recombinant Pseudomonas sp. strain CB15, which grows on 3-chlorobiphenyl (3CB), was
constructed from Pseudomonas sp. strain HF1, which grows on 3-chlorobenzoate, and from …

Two strains, Alcaligenes sp. strain ACA and Pseudomonas fluorescens ACB, isolated from
acetophenone and 4′-hydroxyacetophenone enrichments, respectively, cometabolize a …

A strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa producing 2-bromobenzoic acid, designated 2-BBZA,
was isolated by enrichment culture from municipal sewage. It degraded all four 2 …

Iron has been shown to enhance ascorbate-induced damage to both acetylcholine esterase
and E. coli B in a manner analogous to previous studies with ascorbate and copper ions. It is …

Isolates able to grow on 3-or 4-hydroxybiphenyl (HB) as the sole carbon source were
obtained by enrichment culture. The 3-HB degrader Pseudomonas sp. strain FH12 used an …
