General description

Toluene, a benzene analog, is widely employed as an organic solvent. Its anaerobic biodegradation to CO2, by the denitrifying bacterium Thauera arornatica has been reported. It forms syndiotactic polystyrene-toluene molecular compound. Crystal structure of this molecular compound has been investigated by X-ray diffraction studies.

Application

Toulene may be used as a solvent for the preparation of 4-arm polylactide-based (PLA) star oligomer. It was used for the activation of glass slides, for in vitro test system for allergy diagnosis.

Toluene is degraded anoxically to CO2 by the denitrifying bacterium Thauera aromatica. Toluene first becomes oxidized to benzoyl-CoA by O2-independent reactions. Benzoyl-CoA is then reduced to non-aromatic products by benzoyl-CoA reductase. We set out to study the reactions employed for
