A method for detection of aromatic metabolites at very low concentrations: application to detection of metabolites of anaerobic toluene degradation

E A Edwards et al. Appl Environ Microbiol. 1994 Jan.

Abstract

Difficulties inherent in working with anaerobic microorganisms and mixed cultures have hampered efforts to detect and identify metabolites of anaerobic degradation of monoaromatic compounds. Isotope-trapping experiments and analysis using a high-performance liquid chromatograph equipped with a flow-through radioactivity detector were used to detect very low concentrations of metabolites. Data obtained by this method suggest that toluene was degraded via methyl hydroxylation by a mixed methanogenic culture.
