Effects of bioaugmentation on indigenous PCB dechlorinating activity in sediment microcosms.

Water Res. 45(13) , 3899-907, (2011)

Bioaugmentation is an attractive mechanism for reducing recalcitrant pollutants in sediments, especially if this technology could be applied in situ. To examine the potential effectiveness of a bioaugmentation strategy for PCB contamination, PCB dehalorespiri...

Effects of molecular substitution patterns on the cytochrome P-450-dependent metabolism of 2,2',3,5,5',6- and 2,2',3,4,4',6-hexachlorobiphenyl by rat liver microsomal monooxygenases.

Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1036(3) , 167-75, (1990)

The metabolism by rat hepatic microsomal cytochrome P-450-dependent monooxygenases of several model substrates that are specific for individual isoforms of cytochrome P-450 and the metabolism by these monooxygenases of two structurally related isomers of hexa...

Mechanism of the degradation of individual PCB congeners using mechanically alloyed Mg/Pd in methanol.

Chemosphere 76(6) , 761-6, (2009)

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are a continuing concern in the environment, although legislation restricting the production and use of PCBs was introduced more than 30 years ago. The combination of zero-valent metals and hydrogenation catalysts has been pro...

PCB153 disrupts thyroid hormone homeostasis by affecting its biosynthesis, biotransformation, feedback regulation, and metabolism.

Horm. Metab. Res. 44(9) , 662-9, (2012)

PCB153, one of the 3 dominant congeners in the food chain, causes the disruption of the endocrine system in humans and animals. In order to elucidate the effects of PCB153 on the biosynthesis, biotransformation, regulation, metabolism, and transport of thyroi...
