1. We have previously shown that toluene dose-dependently inhibits recombinant N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors at micromolar concentrations. This inhibition was rapid, almost complete and reversible. The NR1/2B combination was the most sensitive receptor subtype tested with an IC(50) value for toluene
The metabolism of monoaromatic hydrocarbons by an iron-reducing bacterial enrichment culture originating from diesel-contaminated groundwater was examined using d7-propylbenzene as a model hydrocarbon. Sequence analysis of the 16S rDNA gene showed that the dominant part (10 of 10 clones) of

The effect of solvent viscosity mismatch on elution performance in reversed-phase HPLC was studied using moment analysis. Two conditions were tested: (1) the mobile phase viscosity was less than the injection plug viscosity, and (2) the mobile phase viscosity was
With increasing interest in the detection of disease-related volatile organic compounds (VOCs) found in human breath, breath analysis could prove to be a very useful diagnostic tool, especially for the early detection of lung cancer. Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) is a

We assayed the tolerance to solvents of three toluene-degrading Pseudomonas putida strains and Pseudomonas mendocina KR1 in liquid and soil systems. P. putida DOT-T1 tolerated concentrations of heptane, propylbenzene, octanol, and toluene of at least 10% (vol/vol), while P. putida
