Pseudomonas butanovora, Mycobacterium vaccae, and Nocardioides sp. CF8 utilize distinctly different butane monooxygenases (BMOs) to initiate degradation of recalcitrant chlorinated ethenes (CEs) that pollute aquifers and soils. BMO-dependent degradation of CEs such as trichloroethylene (TCE) can lead to cellular toxicities. The type and severity of TCE transformation-dependent damage can have...
The radiolysis of succinic acid in aqueous solutions induced by
gamma irradiation from ⁶⁰Co has been studied with respect to the
identification and estimation of degradation products. Detailed information
on the radiolysis of succinic acid is important in determining
what effect two carboxyl groups in the same molecule would have...
