Microorganism Pseudomonas species P2 metabolizes polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and biphenyl, producing the whole spectrum of intermediates, among them coloured intermediates, which are suitable for the monitoring of PCBs degradation by optical sensors. Knowledge of chemical structures and conditions of development
Degradation of lower-chlorinated and higher-chlorinated PCB congeners (Delor 103 and Delor 105 as equivalents of Aroclor 1242 and Aroclor 1254, respectively) by the white-rot fungus Phanerochoete chrysosporium was investigated in N-limited and non-limited media. No degradation of either Delor 103

The presence of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in aquatic system has an important influence on the phototransformation of organic contaminants through the production of reactive substances, such as hydroxyl radicals (OH), singlet oxygen ((1)O(2)), and DOM triplet states ((3)DOM) under
The disposition of 14C-labelled hexachlorobenzene (HCB) and 2,4',5-trichlorobiphenyl (triCB) was studied in cod (Gadus morhua) and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). For both compounds tape section autoradiography revealed substantial amounts of radiolabelled material in the central nervous system (CNS) of cod

Investigations of environmental pollution by endocrine-disrupting chemicals are now in progress. Up to now, several in vitro bioassays have been developed for evaluation of the endocrine disruptive activity; however, there is still a lack of comparative studies of their sensitivity.
Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
