Degradation and mineralization of 2-chloro-, 3-chloro- and 4-chlorobiphenyl by a newly characterized natural bacterial strain isolated from an electrical transformer fluid-contaminated soil.

J. Environ. Sci. (China) 20(10) , 1250-7, (2008)

A bacterium classified as Achromobacter xylosoxidans strain IR08 by phenotypic typing coupled with 16S rRNA gene analysis was isolated from a soil contaminated with electrical transformer fluid for over sixty years using Aroclor 1221 as an enrichment substrat...

Comparison of the actions of 4-chlorobiphenyl and its hydroxylated metabolites on estradiol secretion by ovarian follicles in primary cells in culture

Reprod. Toxicol. 20(1) , 57-64, (2005)

Theca interna and granulosa cells from small, medium and large preovulatory porcine follicles were cultured as a monolayer to compare the effects of 4-chlorobiphenyl (PCB3) and its metabolites on estradiol secretion. Cells were treated with PCB3 or its mono- ...

3-Methylcholanthrene (3-MC) and 4-chlorobiphenyl (PCB3) genotoxicity is gender-related in Fischer 344 transgenic rats.

Environ. Int. 36(8) , 970-9, (2010)

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are a class of persistent organic pollutants with myriad biological effects, including carcinogenicity. We present data showing gender-specific genotoxicity in Fischer 344 transgenic BigBlue rodents exposed to 4-chlorobiphenyl...

In vitro exposure of porcine prepubertal follicles to 4-chlorobiphenyl (PCB3) and its hydroxylated metabolites: effects on sex hormone levels and aromatase activity.

Toxicol. Lett. 164(2) , 113-22, (2006)

The present study was undertaken to investigate the endocrine disrupting activity of PCB3 and its hydroxylated metabolites 4-OH-PCB3 and 3,4-diOH-PCB3 in ovarian follicle cells derived from prepubertal animals with special emphasis on cytochrome P-450-depende...

Multiple-subunit genes of the aromatic-ring-hydroxylating dioxygenase play an active role in biphenyl and polychlorinated biphenyl degradation in Rhodococcus sp. strain RHA1.

Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 72(8) , 5396-402, (2006)

A gram-positive strong polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) degrader, Rhodococcus sp. strain RHA1, can degrade PCBs by cometabolism with biphenyl or ethylbenzene. In RHA1, three sets of aromatic-ring-hydroxylating dioxygenase genes are induced by biphenyl. The larg...

Humic acid and metal ions accelerating the dechlorination of 4-chlorobiphenyl by nanoscale zero-valent iron.

J. Environ. Sci. (China) 23(8) , 1286-92, (2011)

Transformation of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) by zero-valent iron represents one of the latest innovative technologies for environmental remediation. The dechlorination of 4-chlorobiphenyl (4-ClBP) by nanoscale zero-valent iron (NZVI) in the presence of ...

Investigation of mechanism(s) of DNA damage induced by 4-monochlorobiphenyl (PCB3) metabolites.

Environ. Int. 36(8) , 950-61, (2010)

4-Monochlorobiphenyl (PCB3) is readily converted by xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes to dihydroxy-metabolites and quinones. The PCB3 hydroquinone (PCB3-HQ; 2-(4'-chlorophenyl)-1,4-hydroquinone) induces chromosome loss in Chinese Hamster V79 cells, whereas the ...

Binding of polychlorinated biphenyls/metabolites to hemoglobin.

Toxicol. Lett. 142(1-2) , 53-60, (2003)

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) may form reactive electrophiles that can bind covalently to hemoglobin in vivo. Female C57/BL6 mice, pretreated with phenobarbital and P-naphthoflavone, were injected with either radiolabeled 4-chlorobiphenyl, 3,3',4.4'-tetrac...
