Biotransformation in soil to higher molecular weight compounds
Bordeleau and Bartha, 1972
The authors suggest that the formation of trichloroaniline in soil is catalyzed by peroxidases. In a study two enzymes, a peroxidase and an anilineoxidase, of the fungus Geotrichum candidum L-3, were tested ¿in vitro¿ for their ability to transform dichloroanilines with the help of H2O2 into higher molecular weight compounds. The peroxidase was able to transform 2,4 -, 2,5 - and 3,4-dichloroaniline into their corresponding tetrachloro-azo-compound. The anilineoxidase transformed 2,4-dichloroaniline to 2,2 '4, 4'-tetrachloroazobenzene.
Bartha et al., 1968
"Nixon soil" (pH 5.5) was mixed with 1000 mg of 2,4-dichloroaniline/kg soil (dry weight and set to 60% of its field capacity. No tetrachlorobenzene was found after 16 days of incubation at 27 °C. However other unspecified azo-compounds could be identified.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
