Purification and characterization of active-site components of the putative p-cresol methylhydroxylase membrane complex from Geobacter metallireducens.

J. Bacteriol. 190(19) , 6493-500, (2008)

p-Cresol methylhydroxylases (PCMH) from aerobic and facultatively anaerobic bacteria are soluble, periplasmic flavocytochromes that catalyze the first step in biological p-cresol degradation, the hydroxylation of the substrate with water. Recent results sugge...

On the decoupling of relaxation modes in a molecular liquid caused by isothermal introduction of 2 nm structural inhomogeneities.

J. Phys. Chem. B 115(48) , 13994-9, (2011)

To support a new interpretation of the origin of the dynamic heterogeneity observed pervasively in fragile liquids as they approach their glass transition temperatures T(g), we demonstrate that the introduction of ~2 nm structural inhomogeneities into a homog...

Cresols utilization by Trametes versicolor and substrate interactions in the mixture with phenol.

Biodegradation 21(4) , 625-35, (2010)

The ability of the white rot fungus Trametes versicolor strain 1 to degrade and utilize methylated phenols (cresols) was established for the first time in a medium not containing any other carbon components. The data obtained demonstrated the better potential...

Changes of microbial community structures and functional genes during biodegradation of phenolic compounds under high salt condition.

J. Environ. Sci. (China) 21(6) , 821-6, (2009)

The changes of microbial community structures and functional genes during the biodegradation of single phenol and phenol plus p-cresol under high salt condition were explored. It was found that the phenol-fed system (PFS) exhibited stronger degrading abilitie...

Co-degradation of phenol and m-cresols by upflow anaerobic sludge blanket reactor.

Water Sci. Technol. 56(7) , 73-9, (2007)

The study was performed to assess the efficacy of an upflow anaerobic sludge blanket reactor for the degradation of mixtures of phenol and m-cresol. The experiments were performed in an upflow anaerobic sludge blanket reactor. The reactor was seeded with dige...

A simple efficient technique of 'mid-dilution' on-line hemodiafiltration.

Blood Purif. 28(2) , 93-101, (2009)

On-line hemodiafiltration (OL-HDF) with pre- as well as post-dilution reinfusion mode provides superior uremic toxin removal, especially middle uremic toxins, and can improve patient survival. Both standard pre- and post-dilution have limitations. Mid-dilutio...

Inhalant abuse detection and evaluation in young Tunisians.

J. Forensic Sci. 53(1) , 232-7, (2008)

Occupational exposure biological monitoring techniques were applied for the diagnosis of inhalation abuse and for the evaluation of the levels of exposure to benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylenes, and n-hexane, in 44 Tunisian adolescents and children suspec...

Long-term phenol, cresols and BTEX monitoring in urban air.

Environ. Monit. Assess. 164(1-4) , 93-100, (2010)

This paper reports the results of a long-term monitoring of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylenes (BTEX), phenol and cresols in the air of Padua during a wide period of the year 2007 using two radial passive samplers (Radiello system) equipped with BTEX- an...

A case of black urine and dark skin - cresol poisoning.

Clin. Toxicol. (Phila.) 48(9) , 959-60, (2010)

Cresol is a phenol derivative used as a disinfectant worldwide. Acute cresol poisoning is potentially fatal as it may cause multiple organ failure. We present a case of acute cresol intoxication in a male patient to illustrate the effects of cresol poisoning....
