Bacterial growth with chlorinated methanes.
Chlorinated methanes are important industrial chemicals and significant environmental pollutants. While the highly chlorinated methanes, trichloromethane and tetrachloromethane, are not productively metabolized by bacteria, chloromethane and dichloromethane are used by both aerobic and anaerobic methylotrophic bacteria as carbon and energy sources. Some of the dehalogenation reactions involved ...
متن کاملGenomic and Transcriptomic Analysis of Growth-Supporting Dehalogenation of Chlorinated Methanes in Methylobacterium
Bacterial adaptation to growth with toxic halogenated chemicals was explored in the context of methylotrophic metabolism of Methylobacterium extorquens, by comparing strains CM4 and DM4, which show robust growth with chloromethane and dichloromethane, respectively. Dehalogenation of chlorinated methanes initiates growth-supporting degradation, with intracellular release of protons and chloride ...
متن کاملKinetics of bacterial growth on chlorinated aliphatic compounds.
With the pure bacterial cultures Ancylobacter aquaticus AD20 and AD25, Xanthobacter autotrophicus GJ10, and Pseudomonas sp. strain AD1, Monod kinetics was observed during growth in chemostat cultures on 1,2-dichloroethane (AD20, AD25, and GJ10), 2-chloroethanol (AD20 and GJ10), and 1,3-dichloro-2-propanol (AD1). Both the Michaelis-Menten constants (K(m)) of the first catabolic (dehalogenating) ...
متن کاملDetermination of Compound-Specific Carbon Isotope Ratios of Chlorinated Methanes, Ethanes, and Ethenes in Aqueous Samples
Compound-specific carbon isotope ratio analysis is a promising tool to assess the origin and fate of organic contaminants in groundwater. The aim of this study was to develop and evaluate a reliable, fast method to determine carbon isotope ratios of chlorinated methanes, ethanes, and ethenes in aqueous samples. Direct solid-phase microextraction (dSPME) and headspace solid-phase microextraction...
متن کاملChemical enhancement of viral transformation in Syrian hamster embryo cells by gaseous and volatile chlorinated methanes and ethanes.
Methods were developed for exposing cells in vitro to gases or vapors of volatilized organic liquids. Compounds were selected for their industrial importance, environmental impact, and suspected role in the etiology of some human cancers. Exposure chambers were designed for easy insertion of dishes of cultured cells and were equipped with inlet and outlet ports for introduction and purging of t...
