Methionine metabolism, leading to the biosynthesis of ethylene in Saccharomyces cerevisiae does not appear to involve S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) and aminocyclopropanecarboxylic acid (ACC), based on the lack of ethylene synthesis when both SAM and ACC were incubated in the presence and absence of cells. Thus, the mechanism leading to the formation...
This microcosm study demonstrated the enhanced anaerobic transformation of vinyl chloride (VC) to ethylene. A previous microcosm study from Point Mugu site showed the accumulation of VC due to the slow transformation step of VC to ethylene. To overcome the rate-limiting step, two laboratory experiments tested the effect of trichloroethylene...
