Polyaromatic Hydrocarbons in the Bottom Sediments of the Caspian Sea
In this study, variations in the levels of oil hydrocarbons and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which are persistent organic pollutants generated by human activities, were assessed in the bottom sediments of the Caspian Sea (Russia) sampled from

The Hall rule in fluoranthene-type benzenoid hydrocarbons [PDF]
The applicability of the Hall rule (linear relation between the total π-electron energy and the number of Kekulé structures) was investigated in the case of fluoranthene-type benzenoid hydrocarbons. It was found that the originnal Hall rule is not obeyed,

Fungal transformation of fluoranthene [PDF]
The fungus Cunninghamella elegans ATCC 36112 metabolized approximately 80% of the 3-14C-labeled fluoranthene (FA) added within 72 h of incubation. C. elegans metabolized FA to trans-2,3-dihydroxy-2,3-dihydrofluoranthene (trans-2,3-dihydrodiol), 8- and 9-hydroxyfluoranthene trans-2,3-dihydrodiol, 3-fluoranthene-beta-glucopyranoside, and 3-(8 ...

Investigating the Toxicity of Compounds Yielded by Staphylococci on Vero Cells
Bacterial secondary metabolites play a major role in the alleviation of diseases; however, the cytotoxicity of other metabolites cannot be ignored as such metabolites could be detrimental to human cells. Three Staphylococci strains Staphylococcus aureus,
