Bacterial transformation of nitroaromatic compounds and its implicatins in detoxification
Nitroaromatic compounds form a major group of environmental pollutants because of their high toxicity, widespread use, and recalcitrance to microbial degradation. The studies incorporated in this thesis aimed at understanding ... -
Biodegradation Of 1-Naphthoic Acid
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-04-06)Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are compounds containing carbon and hydrogen atoms of fused benzene rings in linear, angular or cluster arrangements. These compounds have a large (negative) resonance energy, resulting ... -
Metabolism of naphthalene and methylnaphthalenes in Pseudomonas putida : Elucidation of catabolic pathways and purification and properties of 1,2-Dihydroxynaphthalene dioxygenase
I. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which include naphthalene and alkyl-substituted naphthalenes, are universal products of combustion of organic matter. The mutagenic and carcinogenic nature of several PAHs makes ... -
Some aspects of the metabolism of mandelic acid by Aspergillus Niger
The two first enzymes in the pathway for the metabolism of mandelic acid by Aspergillus niger, namely D(-)-mandelate oxidase and L(+)-mandelate oxidase, which respectively catalyze the oxidation of the two enantiomers of ... -
Some aspects of the metabolism of mandelic acid by pseudomonas convexa, Ph.D. Thesis
The metabolism of mandelic acid (phenylglycolic acid) has been studied in detail in several bacteria, and it has been shown that the side chain of mandelic acid is first degraded, resulting in the formation of benzoic acid, ... -
Studies on the metabolism of aminophenols
Certain o-aminophenols like 3-hydroxykynurenine and 3-hydroxyanthranilic acid are known to be precursors of nicotinic acid as well as of certain phenoxazinone antibiotics and insect pigments. The metabolism of 3-hydroxyanthranilic ...
