Bacterial degradation of monocyclic aromatic amines
نویسنده
چکیده
Aromatic amines are an important group of industrial chemicals, which are widely used for manufacturing of dyes, pesticides, drugs, pigments, and other industrial products. These compounds have been considered highly toxic to human beings due to their carcinogenic nature. Three groups of aromatic amines have been recognized: monocyclic, polycyclic, and heterocyclic aromatic amines. Bacterial degradation of several monocyclic aromatic amines has been studied in a variety of bacteria, which utilizes monocyclic aromatic amines as their sole source of carbon and energy. Several degradation pathways have been proposed and the related enzymes and genes have also been characterized. Many reviews have been reviewed toxicity of monocyclic aromatic amines; however, there is lack of review on biodegradation of monocyclic aromatic amines. The aim of this review is to summarize bacterial degradation of monocyclic aromatic amines. This review will increase our current understanding of biochemical and molecular basis of bacterial degradation of monocyclic aromatic amines.

Nitrosamines and Aromatic Amines
A new method for the simultaneous determination of hemoglobin adducts from aromatic amines and tobacco-specific nitrosamines (TSNA) is described. After mild base-catalysed hydrolysis releasing aromatic amines and the TSNA adduct 4-hydroxy-1-(3-pyridyl)-1butanone (HPB), the extraction, cleanup, and concentration are performed by a one-step procedure using C 1 8 cartridges. Determination in the p...
متن کاملDetermination of monocyclic aromatic amines using headspace solid-phase microextraction based on sol-gel technique prior to GC.
In this research, the headspace solid-phase microextraction (SPME) coupled with GC flame ionization detector was applied for the determination of some monocyclic aromatic amines in real water and urine samples. A sol-gel technique was applied for the preparation of the SPME fibers. Two different sol-gel coatings, (PEG and poly(ethylene glycol) modified with multi-walled carbon nanotubes [PEG/CN...
متن کاملIncidence of bladder cancer in a cohort of workers exposed to 4-chloro-o-toluidine while synthesising chlordimeform.
Between 1982 and 1990 seven cases of bladder cancer were detected in a group of 49 workers who were synthesising chlordimeform from 4-chloro-o-toluidine. Latency periods ranged from 15 to 23 years. The incidence of bladder tumours in this group was significantly higher than that of the cancer registers of the former GDR, Saarland, and Denmark by factors of 89.7, 53.8, and 35.0 respectively. Thi...
متن کاملBiodegradation of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons by Aerobic Mixed Bacterial Culture Isolated from Hydrocarbon Polluted Soils
In this study, the degradation potential of five polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) by aerobic mixed bacterial cultures was investigated. Microorganisms were isolated from hydrocarbon contaminated soils of Shadegan wetland located in southwest of Iran. The degradation experiments were conducted in liquid cultures. PAH or PAHs concentration was 100 mg/L at the beginning of degradation e...

Under anaerobic conditions the sulfonated azo dye Mordant Yellow 3 was reduced by the biomass of a bacterial consortium grown aerobically with 6-aminonaphthalene-2-sulfonic acid. Stoichiometric amounts of the aromatic amines 6-aminonaphthalene-2-sulfonate and 5-aminosalicylate were generated and excreted into the medium. After re-aeration of the culture, these amines were mineralized by differe...
