A strain of Pseudomonas sp. was isolated from nitrobenzene-contaminated soil and groundwater on 2-nitrotoluene as the sole source of carbon, energy, and nitrogen. Bacterial cells growing on 2-nitrotoluene released nitrite into the growth medium. The isolate also grew on 3-methylcatechol

Applied and environmental microbiology, 58(8), 2643-2648 (1992-08-01)
Pseudomonas putida F1 and Pseudomonas sp. strain JS150 initiate toluene degradation by incorporating molecular oxygen into the aromatic nucleus to form cis-1,2-dihydroxy-3-methylcyclohexa-3,5-diene. When toluene-grown cells were incubated with 2- and 3-nitrotoluene, the major products identified were 2- and 3-nitrobenzyl alcohol
J Struijs et al.
The Science of the total environment, 57, 161-170 (1986-12-01)
The biodegradation of 2-, 3- and 4-nitrotoluene was investigated in a simple laboratory test. All three isomers are shown to be biodegradable in a die-away test after adaptation of the inoculum, though different results were obtained with different types of
D E Rickert et al.
Chemico-biological interactions, 52(2), 131-139 (1984-12-01)
The mononitrotoluenes are important industrial chemicals which display isomeric specificity in their ability to induce hepatic DNA excision repair in Fischer-344 rats. Covalent binding of the structurally related hepatocarcinogen, 2,6-dinitrotoluene, to hepatic DNA is markedly decreased by prior administration of
L E Hallas et al.
Applied and environmental microbiology, 45(4), 1234-1241 (1983-04-01)
The transformation of mono- and dinitroaromatic compounds was measured in sewage effluent maintained under aerobic or anaerobic conditions. Most of the nitrobenzene, 3- and 4-nitrobenzoic acids, and 3- and 4-nitrotoluenes and much of the 1,2- and 1,3-dinitrobenzenes disappeared both in
