  • Title: Cometabolism of DDT analogs by a Pseudomonas sp.
    Author: Francis AJ, Spanggord RJ, Ouchi GI, Bohonos N.
    Journal: Appl Environ Microbiol; 1978 Feb; 35(2):364-7. PubMed ID: 637537.
    Abstract:
    A Pseudomonas sp. capable of growth on several nonchlorinated and mono-p-chloro-substituted analogs of DDT as a sole carbon source degraded bis(p-chlorophenyl)methane and 1,1-bis(p-chlorophenyl)ethane only in the presence of diphenylethane. The products p-chlorophenylacetic acid and 2-(p-chlorophenyl)-propionic acid were not further metabolized by the bacterium. Other chlorinated analogs of DDT were found to be recalcitrant to cometabolic degradation with diphenylethane.
