Abstract
A cell suspension of K. pneumoniae converted the organophosphorus pesticide fensulfothion to a product that was shown by chemical oxidation, GLC, IR spectrophotometry and mass spectrometry to be fensulfothion sulfide. Further alteration of this metabolite was not noted.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
