The ability of 2 bacterial strains, Flavobacterium strain ATCC 27551, and Arthrobacter aurescens strain TW17, to degrade fenitrothion and the product of its hydrolysis, 3-methyl-4-nitrophenol (MNP), in natural water under laboratory conditions was studied. Fenitrothion was degraded by Flavobacterium whereas MNP was not. In comparison, MNP was metabolized by A. aurescens and fenitrothion was not. Natural microbial populations did not decompose fenitrothion and MNP; however Flavobacterium and A. aurescens degraded these compounds in the presence of the natural microbial population. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 3-Methyl-4-nitroanisole (cas: 5367-32-8Related Products of 5367-32-8).
3-Methyl-4-nitroanisole (cas: 5367-32-8) belongs to ethers. Of all the functional groups, ethers are the least reactive ones. Ether bonds are quite stable towards bases, oxidizing agents and reducing agents. Ethers can form hydrogen bonds with other molecules (alcohols, amines, etc.) that have O―H or N―H bonds. The ability to form hydrogen bonds with other compounds makes ethers particularly good solvents for a wide variety of organic compounds and a surprisingly large number of inorganic compounds.Related Products of 5367-32-8
