Placental transfer of a hydroxylated polychlorinated biphenyl and effects on fetal and maternal thyroid hormone homeostasis in the rat [PDF]

, 2002
Earlier studies at our laboratory indicated that several hydroxylated polychlorinated biphenyls (OH-PCBs) detected in human blood could specifically inhibit thyroxine (T4) transport by competitive binding to the thyroid hormone transport protein ...

Analysis of Polychlorinated Biphenyls and Polybrominated Biphenyl Ethers in Rice and Their Risk Assessment

Liang you shipin ke-ji, 2023
The risk of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polybrominated biphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in 45 rice samples was assessed. The rice samples were collected and ground, and all ground samples were treated according to the direct extraction-acidic silica ...

Sphingobium fuliginis HC3: a novel and robust isolated biphenyl- and polychlorinated biphenyls-degrading bacterium without dead-end intermediates accumulation. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Biphenyl and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are typical environmental pollutants. However, these pollutants are hard to be totally mineralized by environmental microorganisms.

Validation of biphenyl degradation pathway by polymerase chain reaction, peptide mass fingerprinting and enzyme analysis

Water-Energy Nexus, 2021
Our previous studies showed, bacterium Aquamicrobium sp. SK-2 could degrade biphenyl and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). In the present study, proteins involved in the biphenyl degradation was evaluated using various molecular biology methods. The gene

Optimizing Polychlorinated Biphenyl Degradation by Flavonoid-Induced Cells of the Rhizobacterium Rhodococcus erythropolis U23A. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
There is evidence that many plant secondary metabolites may act as signal molecules to trigger the bacterial ability to metabolize polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) during the rhizoremediation process.
