Abstract A case of a 33-yr-old man who died following occupational exposure to pentachlorophenol is presented. Postmortem examination revealed cerebral edema and fatty degeneration of the viscera. [pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

However, partial amino acid sequences (covering approximately 12% of the protein) indicated that enzymes highly similar to TfdBI are present in 2,4-D-degrading Ralstonia and Burkholderia mallei strains (38), and a similar enzyme (DcpA) with 96% amino [aem.asm.org]

Cells grown on fructose were washed and resuspended in fresh medium to an OD600 of 0.25 for treatment with different 2,4-DCP concentrations. [aem.asm.org]

The level of 2,4-DCP accumulated during 2,4-D degradation by the tfdBI mutant (Fig. 3B) is therefore unlikely to produce immediate cell death but is toxic enough to prevent 2,4-D degradation. Open in new tab Download powerpoint FIG. 4. [aem.asm.org]
