Studies on the breakdown ofp‐chlorophenyl methylcarbamate. II. In cultures of a soilArthrobactersp.

摘要

Abstractp‐Chlorophenyl methylcarbamate (PCMC) underwent spontaneous hydrolysis in aqueous solution top‐chlorophenol with concomitant loss of ability to inhibit hydrolysis of the phenylcarbamate isopropyl phenylcarbamate (propham). A phenylcarbamate‐degrading soilArthrobactersp. had no direct effect on PCMC itself but formed 4‐chlorocatechol during the metabolism ofp‐chl
