Growth inhibition of Escherichia coli by dichloromethane in cells expressing dichloromethane dehalogenase/glutathione S-transferase.
Dichloromethane (DCM) dehalogenase converts DCM to formaldehyde via the formation of glutathione metabolites and generates 2 mol HCl per mol DCM metabolized. Growth of Escherichia coli expressing DCM dehalogenase was immediately and severely inhibited during conversion of 0.3 mM DCM. Intracellular pH (pH(i)) rapidly decreased and chloride ions were steadily released into the medium. Bacterial g...
متن کاملFatal case of dichloromethane poisoning.
A 47-year-old man was found dead in a factory where dichloromethane (DCM) tanks were stocked. He was making an inventory of the annual stock of DCM contained in several tanks (5- to 8000-L capacity) by transferring the solvent into an additional tank with the help of compressed air. During this operation, one of the tanks overflowed and the man, who was not wearing any protection, was intoxicat...

the main purpose of this research was to:1.develop a coking model for thermal cracking of naphtha.2.study coke inhibition methods using different coke inhibitors.developing a coking model in naphtha cracking reactors requires a suitable model of the thermal cracking reactor based on a reliable kinetic model.to obtain reliable results all these models shall be solved simultaneously.for this pu...
15 صفحه اولDichloromethane Injection: Case Report
Background: Dichloromethane (a chlorinated hydrocarbon) is normally used as a solvent. Dichloromethane poisoning has been reported from occupational exposure and the common routes of dichloromethane poisoning are ingestion and inhalation. Case presentation: We described a case of 51-year-old man who received subcutaneous injection of dichloromethane and presented with local wound necrosis at hi...
متن کاملEffects of bacterial host and dichloromethane dehalogenase on the competitiveness of methylotrophic bacteria growing with dichloromethane.
Methylobacterium sp. strain DM4 and Methylophilus sp. strain DM11 can grow with dichloromethane (DCM) as the sole source of carbon and energy by virtue of homologous glutathione-dependent DCM dehalogenases with markedly different kinetic properties (the kcat values of the enzymes of these strains are 0.6 and 3.3 S-1, respectively, and the Km values are 9 and 59 microM, respectively). These stra...
