Methanogenic degradation of hydroquinone and catechol via reductive dehydroxylation to phenol
Fermentative degradation of hydroquinone, catechol, and phenol was demonstrated with nearly-homogeneous mixed methanogenic cultures obtained from freshwater sediments and sewage sludge by enrichment with the respective phenolic substrates. Gram-negative short rods predominated in these cultures, together with hydrogenand acetate-utilizirtg methanogens. Acetate and methane were the only degradat...
متن کاملCatechol and phenol degradation by a methanogenic population of bacteria.
An anaerobic population of bacteria became acclimated to catechol and phenol in 32 and 18 days, respectively. Evidence from carbon balance measurements indicates that the aromatic ring is cleaved and that the products are stoichiometrically fermentable to methane and carbon dioxide.
متن کاملThe determination of catechol, phenol, and hydroquinone in urine.
There have been many methods devised for the determination of urinary phenols based on calorimetric, gravimetric, and titrimetric procedures, but few of them include quantitative determinations of hydroquinone and catechol. These two phenols are produced in considerable amounts in animals exposed to benzene (1) and since we wished to study this problem further a convenient method of analysis ha...
متن کاملUrinary excretion of phenol, catechol, hydroquinone, and muconic acid by workers occupationally exposed to benzene.
OBJECTIVES Animal inhalation studies and theoretical models suggest that the pattern of formation of benzene metabolites changes as exposure to benzene increases. To determine if this occurs in humans, benzene metabolites in urine samples collected as part of a cross sectional study of occupationally exposed workers in Shanghai, China were measured. METHODS With organic vapour monitoring badg...
متن کاملEffects of some alkyl phenols on methanogenic degradation of phenol.
The effects of six phenolic compounds (o-, m-, and p-cresol and 2-, 3-, and 4-ethylphenol) on the anaerobic biodegradation of phenol was examined in batch methanogenic cultures. Results showed that ethylphenols were more inhibitory of phenol degradation than were cresols. The inhibitory effects of the three isomers of cresol and ethylphenol did not vary with the isomer but rather with the subst...
