ثبت نشده
چکیده
The Council of Scientific and Industrial Research has carried out an investigation about several publications by this group in order to evaluate concerns raised about the authenticity of the data. The investigation committee at the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research has concluded that there are no data available underlying this study and thus that the published results are fabricated. As a result, the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research has requested the retraction of the publication. The authors are in agreement with the request by the investigation committee. In line with the outcome of the institutional investigation, PLOS ONE retracts this publication.

Metabolism of 2-Chloro-4-Nitroaniline via Novel Aerobic Degradation Pathway by Rhodococcus sp. Strain MB-P1
2-chloro-4-nitroaniline (2-C-4-NA) is used as an intermediate in the manufacture of dyes, pharmaceuticals, corrosion inhibitor and also used in the synthesis of niclosamide, a molluscicide. It is marked as a black-listed substance due to its poor biodegradability. We report biodegradation of 2-C-4-NA and its pathway characterization by Rhodococcus sp. strain MB-P1 under aerobic conditions. The ...
متن کاملAerobic Degradation of N-Methyl-4-Nitroaniline (MNA) by Pseudomonas sp. Strain FK357 Isolated from Soil
N-Methyl-4-nitroaniline (MNA) is used as an additive to lower the melting temperature of energetic materials in the synthesis of insensitive explosives. Although the biotransformation of MNA under anaerobic condition has been reported, its aerobic microbial degradation has not been documented yet. A soil microcosms study showed the efficient aerobic degradation of MNA by the inhabitant soil mic...
متن کاملCometabolic degradation of mono-chloro benzoic acids by Rhodococcus sp. R04 grown on organic carbon sources
The aerobic cometabolism of chlorobenzoic acids (CBAs) by Rhodococcus sp. R04 was accomplished by augmenting the medium with organic carbon sources. In mineral medium supplemented with glucose (MMG), 0.5 mM 2-CBA was incompletely metabolized after the 5day incubation, while the near-complete disappearance of 0.5 mM 4-CBA was monitored. Over the 5-day incubation period, the concentration of chlo...

متن کاملDegradation of chloronitrobenzenes by a coculture of Pseudomonas putida and a Rhodococcus sp.
A single microorganism able to mineralize chloronitrobenzenes (CNBs) has not been reported, and degradation of CNBs by coculture of two microbial strains was attempted. Pseudomonas putida HS12 was first isolated by analogue enrichment culture using nitrobenzene (NB) as the substrate, and this strain was observed to possess a partial reductive pathway for the degradation of NB. From high-perform...
