Induction of drug metabolism enzymes by dihalogenated biphenyls.

J. Biochem. Toxicol. 5(1) , 57-63, (1990)

The effects of pretreatment with symmetrically dihalogenated biphenyls (DXBs, X-F, Cl(C), Br(B) and I) on rat liver drug metabolism enzymes were investigated. 4,4'-DFB, -DCB, and -DBB as well as 2,2'-DFB appeared to be inducers of microsomal cytochrome P-450-...

Biodegradation of polyfluorinated biphenyl in bacteria.

Biodegradation 22(4) , 741-9, (2011)

Fluorinated aromatic compounds are significant environmental pollutants, and microorganisms play important roles in their biodegradation. The effect of fluorine substitution on the transformation of fluorobiphenyl in two bacteria was investigated. Pseudomonas...
