Monitoring Assays for Mtbe Toxicity and Genotoxicity
This research is focused on determination of toxicity, genotoxicity and discovery of MTBE-degrading bacterial strains. Toxicity was detected using bacterial luminescent method Microtox while genotoxicity was monitored by Ames test with Salmonella typhimurium his (TA 98, TA 100, YG 1041 and YG 1042) as indicator strains. Potential MTBE-degrading strains were tested by Bioscreen. This method moni...
متن کاملMisunderstood MTBE.
Your recent article panning methyl-tert-butyl ether use (EHP 102:913) was extremely misleading and focused on unpublished, and therefore not critically reviewed data, which is inconsistent with standards of scientific journals. Given the confusion caused by the article, you should provide more accurate information to your readers on why methyl-tert-butyl ether (MTBE) is in gasoline and how it i...
متن کاملTo MTBE or not to MTBE.
-Macrophages have been isolated from ascitic and collagenase-dispersed tumours from patients undergoing surgery for ovarian cancer. Macrophages were present in varying proportions in both sites, though the ratio of macrophages to tumour cells was higher in ascites. Marked variation in size (as detected by sedimentation velocity) and cytochemical markers in the macrophages was noted. Highly enri...

Combined toxicity effects of MTBE and pesticides measured with Vibrio fischeri and Daphnia magna bioassays.
Methyl-tert-butyl ether (MTBE), a fuel oxygenate that is added to gasoline, commonly contaminates aquatic systems, many of which are already contaminated with pesticides. The toxic effects (EC(50) value) of several pure pesticides (Diuron, Linuron, Dichlofluanid, Sea nine, Irgarol and tributyltin (TBT)) were measured and compared with the EC(50) value of the pesticide mixed with MTBE, using the...
