Trimethylobenzene (TMB) is a main ingredient of many organic solvents used in industry. In Farbasol (Polish trade name of the solvent) TMB occurs as a mixture of three isomers: pseudocumene (1, 2, 4-TMB) 30%; mesitylene (1, 3, 5-TMB) 15%; hemimellitene

Pseudomonas putida strain DMB capable of growing on 3,4-dimethylbenzoic acid as the only C and energy source was isolated by enrichment techniques. It does not utilize for growth or cooxidize the other dimethylbenzoate isomers tested. 3,4-Dimethylsalicylic acid, 3,4-dimethylphenol and 3,4-dimethylcatechol

Trimethylbenzene (TMB) is a component of numerous commercial preparations of organic solvents (Farbasol, Solvesso, Shellsol) used in the chemical, plastics, printing and other industries. TMB is a mixture of three isomers (pseudocumene-1,2,4-TMB; mesitylene-1,3,5-TMB; hemimellitene-1,2,3-TMB). The proportion of individual isomers in

Amphiphilic molecules (e.g. hydrotropes) that enhance the solubility of hydrophobic compounds in water are often charged. As a result, such compounds also show specific ion effects. These effects can either strengthen or weaken the solubilisation power of amphiphilic molecules, depending
