Metabolism of DDT analogues by a Pseudomonas sp.

Products Formed from Analogues of 1,1,1-Trichloro-2,2-Bis(p-Chlorophenyl) Ethane (DDT) Metabolites by Pseudomonas putida.

Cultures of Pseudomonas putida growing in solutions with diphenylmethane as sole carbon source formed 1,1,1',1'-tetraphenyldimethyl ether. The product was identified by gas chromatography, mass spectrometry, and infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry. The formation of benzophenone, benzhydrol, and phenylglycolic acid was established by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. Sim...

Co-metabolism of DDT by the newly isolated bacterium, Pseudoxanthomonas sp. wax

Microbial degradation of 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)ethane (DDT) is the most promising way to clean up DDT residues found in the environment. In this paper, a bacterium designated as wax, which was capable of co-metabolizing DDT with other carbon sources, was isolated from a long-term DDT-contaminated soil sample by an enrichment culture technique. The new isolate was identified as ...

Biosorption of dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane and hexachlorobenzene in groundwater and its implications for facilitated transport.

The potential for enhanced mobility of hydrophobic pollutants by cotransport with bacteria in saturated soils was evaluated from measurements of biosorption of 14C-labeled hexachlorobenzene and dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) to five strains of soil and sewage bacteria. The sorption process could be described by a linear partition equation and appeared to be reversible, but desorption kin...

Comparison of Biosorption of Cadmium (II) from Aqueous Solution, by Bacillus Sp and Pseudomonas Aeruginosa

بررسی اثر متابولیت های تولیدی سویه بومی Pseudomonas sp UW4 بر بیان ژن p53 در رده سلولی SK-BR-3 سرطان پستان انسان

Introdution: Regarding to the development the problems of systemic toxicity and drug resistance in cancer chemotherapy, the continuing discovery of new bioactive compounds and anticancer agents is very necessary. Therefore, in this study, we checked the anticancer activity of native Pseudomonas sp. UW4 metabolite to find new compound. Methods: This experimental study was performed in Shahrekor...
