Cobalamin-Enhanced Anaerobic Biotransformation of Carbon Tetrachloride
… adding catalytic amounts of cobalamins improves biotransformation of high concentrations of CT by increasing the rate and minimizing the accumulation of hazardous products. Relatively low adsorption of CN-Cbl in sand indicated that adding cobalamins to groundwater for in situ bioremediation may …

Biotransformation studies on tobacco cembranoids using plant cell cultures
This thesis deals with the biotransformation studies on tobacco cembranoids using the plant cell culture lines coded as TRP4a and T-43-T which are derived from Tripterygium wilfordii, an important Chinese herbal plant, and Nicotiana sylvestris, respectively. The studies are divided into three …

Environmental biotransformation of chiral polychlorinated biphenyls and their metabolites
… their metabolites in organisms. Stereoselective biotransformation and bioaccumulation were identified as two major reasons for the different environmental fate of PCB atropisomers. Other affecting factors, such as presence of nanoparticles and changes in feeding ecology of organisms, also affect …

Biotransformation of aromatic hydrocarbons and organic sulphides by fungi
Toluene is converted to benzyl alcohol by the fungi Mortierella isabellina and Helminthosporium species; in the latter case, the product is further metabolized. Toluene-a -d 1 , toluene-a,a-d2, and toluene-a,a,a-d 3 have been used with Mortierellaisabellina in a series of experiments to determine …

Ammonia-monooxygenase-mediated cometabolic biotransformation and abiotic transformation of micropollutants
Biotransformation of a number of micropollutants (MPs) has been found to positively correlate with nitrification activities in inhibition studies of nitrifying activated sludge communities. To further elucidate roles played by ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB), and nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB) …

Toxicity and biotransformation of 1,1,1,3,3-Pentafluoropropane, 3,3,3-Trifluoropropionic acid and 1,1,1,3-Tetrachloropropane
The biotransformation of 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropane was investigated in rats and in in vitro systems. First, the metabolites were identified in vivo using GC/MS and 19F NMR analysis. The main metabolite was identified as trifluoroacetic acid, the minor metabolite as 3,3,3-trifluoropropionic acid …
