  • Xenobiotic biotransformation in aquatic organisms

    Creator:
    Schlenk, Daniel K.
    Abstract:
    Aquatic animals are exposed to a variety of natural and anthropogenic xenobiotics. Biotransformation of xenobiotics was examined in three aquatic animals: a primitive mollusc (chiton); a shellfish which is an important human food source (oyster); and, a lower vertebrate model for toxicological studies (rainbow trout). Since digestive glands of Cryntochiton...

  • Measuring in situ biotransformation in BTEX-contaminated groundwater

    Creator:
    Alumbaugh, Robert E.
    Abstract:
    Benzylsuccinate (BSA), methylbenzylsuccinate (methylBSA), and ethylbenzylsuccinate (ethylBSA) are unambiguous anaerobic biotransformation products from toluene, xylenes, and ethylbenzene decay, respectively, and may be used to indicate intrinsic bioremediation is occurring at hydrocarbon-contaminated sites. In order to improve upon current methods that detect and quantify anaerobic hydrocarbon metabolites in field samples, solid-phase-extraction...
