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
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 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
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
L E Hallas et al.
Applied and environmental microbiology, 45(4), 1234-1241 (1983-04-01)
The transformation of mono- and dinitroaromatic compounds was measured in sewage effluent maintained under aerobic or anaerobic conditions. Most of the nitrobenzene, 3- and 4-nitrobenzoic acids, and 3- and 4-nitrotoluenes and much of the 1,2- and 1,3-dinitrobenzenes disappeared both in
