Pseudomonas putida F1 contains a multicomponent enzyme system, toluene dioxygenase, that converts toluene and a variety of substituted benzenes to cis-dihydrodiols by the addition of one molecule of molecular oxygen. Toluene-grown cells of P. putida F1 also catalyze the monohydroxylation
The genotoxic potential of 1,4-dichlorobenzene (1,4-DCB) has been extensively evaluated in vitro and in vivo. The majority of the studies demonstrated the absence of a genotoxic potential for 1, 4-DCB. At variance are a bone marrow micronucleus test (MNT) after

To investigate the effects of 1,4-dichlorobenzene (1,4-DCB) on kidney, liver, and hematological functions of workers in insect repellent factories in Taiwan. A cross-sectional study was performed comparing 46 exposed workers and 29 non-exposed workers. Health information was collected using questionnaires

O-Hexyl O-2,5-dichlorophenyl phosphoramidate (HDCP) is a chiral organophosphorus compound that undergoes enzymatic hydrolysis in the rat and hen. Studies of the stereospecificity of its biodegradation are necessary to establish HDCP toxicity. To this effect, methods have been developed for the
The organophosphorus (OP) compound O-hexyl-O-2,5-dichlorophenyl phosphoramidate (H-DCP) is hydrolysed in the plasma, liver and brain of hens and rats. We study in hen plasma the effect of tissue and substrate concentrations and of pH on the hydrolysing activity of H-DCP.
