Abstract
The effect of transformation of chlorinated ethenes on the cell viabil ity of Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b was investigated. A comparison of the loss of viability with the decrease in transformation rates she lved that for the monooxygenase-mediated transformation of all chlorin ated ethenes except vinyl chloride the decrease in cell viability was the predominant toxic effect.
