J Struijs et al.
The Science of the total environment, 57, 161-170 (1986-12-01)
The biodegradation of 2-, 3- and 4-nitrotoluene was investigated in a simple laboratory test. All three isomers are shown to be biodegradable in a die-away test after adaptation of the inoculum, though different results were obtained with different types of
B E Haigler et al.
Applied and environmental microbiology, 60(9), 3466-3469 (1994-09-01)
A strain of Pseudomonas sp. was isolated from nitrobenzene-contaminated soil and groundwater on 2-nitrotoluene as the sole source of carbon, energy, and nitrogen. Bacterial cells growing on 2-nitrotoluene released nitrite into the growth medium. The isolate also grew on 3-methylcatechol
J B Robertson et al.
Applied and environmental microbiology, 58(8), 2643-2648 (1992-08-01)
Pseudomonas putida F1 and Pseudomonas sp. strain JS150 initiate toluene degradation by incorporating molecular oxygen into the aromatic nucleus to form cis-1,2-dihydroxy-3-methylcyclohexa-3,5-diene. When toluene-grown cells were incubated with 2- and 3-nitrotoluene, the major products identified were 2- and 3-nitrobenzyl alcohol
D J Doolittle et al.
Cancer research, 43(6), 2836-2842 (1983-06-01)
The nitrotoluenes failed to induce unscheduled DNA synthesis in in vitro cultures of rat hepatocytes. Because intestinal bacteria are known to be involved in the metabolic activation of other nitroaromatic compounds, the genotoxicity of the nitrotoluenes was evaluated using an
D E Rickert et al.
Chemico-biological interactions, 52(2), 131-139 (1984-12-01)
The mononitrotoluenes are important industrial chemicals which display isomeric specificity in their ability to induce hepatic DNA excision repair in Fischer-344 rats. Covalent binding of the structurally related hepatocarcinogen, 2,6-dinitrotoluene, to hepatic DNA is markedly decreased by prior administration of
