Fluoranthene-2,3- and -1,5-diones Are Novel Products from the Bacterial Transformation of Fluoranthene

, 2016
Fluoranthene is one of the predominant compounds found in soils and sediments contaminated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). Four bacterial strains isolated from PAH-contaminated soils transformed fluoranthene to a number of products during ...

Substrate Specificity and Structural Characteristics of the Novel Rieske Nonheme Iron Aromatic Ring-Hydroxylating Oxygenases NidAB and NidA3B3 from Mycobacterium vanbaalenii PYR-1

mBio, 2010
The Rieske nonheme iron aromatic ring-hydroxylating oxygenases (RHOs) NidAB and NidA3B3 from Mycobacterium vanbaalenii PYR-1 have been implicated in the initial oxidation of high-molecular-weight (HMW) polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), forming cis-

Soil polychemical contamination on Beliy Island as key background and reference plot for Yamal region

Polish Polar Research, 2017
Background concentrations of main trace elements and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were investigated in pristine soils of the Beliy Island situated in the Kara Sea, Yamal autonomous region, North-West Siberia, Russia. Belyi Island is considered

Assessing the Health Impacts of Contaminants on Green Turtles (Chelonia mydas) Along the Southern Coast of Brazil

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chemical pollutants pose a significant threat to marine ecosystems. Among these contaminants are trace elements and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). Green turtles can be employed to evaluate the oceans' health due to their coastal habitats and exposure to multiple threats.

Variation on Toxic and Inflammatory Potential of Coal Smoke of Different Sources From a Region With High Lung Cancer Risk

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Excess lung cancer risk in Xuanwei and Fuyuan, China, has been attributed to household air pollution from use of a locally sourced smoky (bituminous) coal. However, the carcinogenic mechanisms remain unclear. Given the important role of inflammation in lung cancer development, this study compared the proinflammatory potentials of the ...

Interspecific Differences in the Effects on Embryos Between Freshwater and Marine Fish Exposed to Water‐Accommodated Fractions Derived From Very‐Low Sulfur Fuel Oil

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study evaluated the toxic effects of water‐accommodated fractions (WAFs) of very‐low sulfur fuel oil (VLSFO) on freshwater and marine fish embryos. Embryos of Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes), Java medaka (Oryzias javanicus), and grass puffer (Takifugu alboplumbeus) were exposed to various concentrations of VLSFO‐WAF, and the effects on ...
