4-ethylphenol methylenehydroxylase from Pseudomonas putida JD1 acts by dehydrogenation of its substrate to give a quinone methide, which is then hydrated to an alcohol. It was shown to be active with a range of 4-alkylphenols as substrates. 4-n-propylphenol, 4-n-butylphenol, chavicol
Probiotics can improve the intestinal environment by enhancing beneficial bacteria to potentially regulate lipid levels; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Lactobacillus plantarum Q180 (LPQ180) on postprandial lipid metabolism
Sonochemical degradation of phenol (Ph), 4-isopropylphenol (4-IPP) and Rhodamine B (RhB) in aqueous solutions was investigated for a large range of initial concentrations in order to analyze the reaction kinetics. The initial rates of substrate degradation and H(2)O(2) formation as
Sphingobium xenophagum Bayram is capable of metabolizing 4-alkoxyphenols and endocrine disruptive alpha-quaternary 4-nonylphenols by an ipso-substitution mechanism that involves ring hydroxylation at the site of the substituent. Here, we show that Bayram's ipso-hydroxylating activity was able to transform also bisphenol
Chemical research in toxicology, 8(1), 55-60 (1995-01-01)
The oxidative metabolism and toxicity of the para isomers of methylphenol (cresol), ethylphenol, and isopropylphenol were studied using male Sprague-Dawley rat liver microsomes and precision-cut liver slices. Reactive intermediates from each compound were trapped using radiolabeled glutathione and were detected
