Burkholderia species are widely distributed in the environment. A Burkholderia zhejiangensis strain was isolated from pesticide-contaminated soil from an agricultural field in Mexico and identified as an organophosphorus compound-degrading bacterium. In this study, we report the draft genome sequence of Burkholderia zhejiangensis strain CEIB S4-3.

Results of research into four-membered 2-halo-1,2λ⁵-oxaphosphetane phosphorus(V)-heterocycles are presented. The preparation of 2-halo-1,2λ⁵-oxaphosphetanes by reaction of P-haloylides with carbonyl compounds is described. The mechanism of asynchronous [2+2]-сycloaddition of ylides to aldehydes was proposed on the base of low-temperature NMR investigations. 2-Halo-1,2λ⁵-oxaphosphetanes were iso...

Potent cannabinoid CB1 receptor ligands include anandamide [N-(2-hydroxyethyl)arachidonamide], Delta9-tetrahydrocannabinol, and 3H-CP 55,940 at the agonist site and selected organophosphorus esters (including some pesticides) and organosulfur compounds at a proposed closely coupled "nucleophilic" site. This study considers the toxicological and structural features of alkylfluorophosphonates, be...

A series of supramolecular diamide organogels containing a reactive compound for the remediation of organophosphorus (OP) species, in particular OP chemical warfare agents (CWAs), has been prepared in DMSO. The organogels have been found to absorb, encapsulate and decontaminate various OP CWA simulants in situ. At high simulant concentrations the gels also undergo a gel-sol transition releasing...

This letter is a response to the report by Sungur and Güven [1] on intensive care management of organophosphate insecticide poisoning, which was recently published in Critical Care. Insect damage costs the world loses approximately 6 billion pounds sterling every year. Use of pesticides has increased food production in parallel with population growth in many parts of the world. Many insect-born...

High levels of resistance to the major categories of insecticides, ie, organophosphorus, carbamates, pyrethroids, and DDT, have been detected in the diamondback moth in Taiwan. Synergist studies have provided insufficient evidence to show significant involvement of known metabolic systems, such as microsomal oxidation, esterase hydrolysis, and glutathione conjugation in organophosphorus and car...
