MICROBIAL OXIDATION OF AMINOIMIDAZOLES TO NITROIMIDAZOLES

Safety of nitroimidazoles.

The nitroimidazoles used in the treatment of anaerobic infection are well-tolerated by patients. With the possible exception of neurotoxic effects associated with high dosage, signs and symptoms of toxicity are transient and disappear soon after withdrawal of treatment. Teratogenicity tests in animals have given negative results in the case of metronidazole, ornidazole and tinidazole, and in th...

The Microbial Oxidation of Methanol

Several bacteria are known which are capable of growth with methanol or certain other C, compounds as sole source of carbon and energy (Peel & Quayle, 1961), but little is known about the enzymes involved in the oxidation of methanol (Quayle, 1961). It has been suggested (Dworkin & Foster, 1956; Leadbetter & Foster, 1958; Harrington & Kallio, 1960; Kaneda & Roxburgh, 1959b) that methanol oxidat...
