Anthropogenic chemicals, including pesticides, are a major source of contamination and
pollution in the environment. Pesticides have many positive uses: increased food …

In most cases, enantiomers of chiral compounds behave differently in biochemical
processes. Therefore, the effects and the environmental fate of the enantiomers of chiral …

Sphingomonas herbicidovorans MH (previously designated Flavobacterium sp. strain MH)
was able to utilize the chiral herbicide (RS)-2-(4-chloro-2-methylphenoxy) propionic acid …

Initial results of a comparative survey of commonly used chiral drugs are presented. The
survey considered the differences between drugs used in 1982 with those in use in 1991 …

Cell extracts of Sphingomonas herbicidovorans MH grown on (R)-mecoprop contained an
enzyme activity that selectively converted (R)-mecoprop to 4-chloro-2-methylphenol …

The biodegradation of the chiral phenoxyalkanoic herbicides 2‐(2, 4‐dichlorophenoxy)
propionic aid (2, 4‐DP) and 2‐(4‐chloro‐2‐methylphenoxy) propionic acid (MCPP) was …

Aerobic degradation experiments with the racemic mixtures of mecoprop and dichlorprop
revealed that activated sludge collected from the aeration tank of a municipal waste water …

A significant number of all organic chemicals that are released into the environment are
racemic mixtures. Most environmental regulations and scientific environmental studies treat …

Sphingomonas herbicidovorans MH was isolated from a dichlorprop-degrading soil column.
It is able to grow on phenoxyalkanoic acid herbicides, such as mecoprop, dichlorprop, 2, 4 …
