The conjugation of glutathione with 1,2-dihaloethanes leads to the formation of S-(2-haloethyl)glutathione which, following intramolecular cyclization, produces an electrophilic thiiranium ion. The extent to which the formation of the thiiranium ion is responsible for the toxicity associated with 1,2-dihaloethanes has

Photoinactivation of ammonia oxidation by Nitrosomonas europaea cells by near-u.v. light was confirmed and further shown to occur with the same rate constant as loss of bromoethane-oxidation activity. Hydroxylamine oxidation was much less photosensitive. Protection against inactivation was afforded by
