Beiträge zur ökologischen Chemie LXXX Versuche zum Mikrobiellen Abbau von Dieldrin und 2, 2′-Dichlorbiphenyl

Microbial metabolism of chlorobiphenyls

“…A large part of the radiolabel was present in the soil as inextractable residues. In contrast, in earlier studies no degradation of 2,2'-dichlorobiphenyl had been found, both in cultures of various microorganisms 36 and in compost. 37 When grown on glucose the soil fungus Rhizopus japonicus metabolizes 4-chlorobiphenyl to a hydroxy compound, identified as 4-hydroxy-4'-chlorobiphenyl by comparison with an authentic sample.…”

Biodegradation of DIMP, Dieldrin, Isodrin, DBCP, and PCPMSO in Rocky Mountain Arsenal Soils. Installation Restoration Program, Environmental Technology Development

“…Other studies indicated that a 2-4 4755B major product of microbially mediated transformation of dieldrin was photodieldrin (Vockel and Korte, 1974;Matsumura et al, 1970).…”
