Microbial transformations of 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene, a carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, in cultures of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Penicillium notatum were studied by high performance liquid chromatographic separation of metabolic fractions followed by gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric analysis of the metabolites. Two methyl-hydroxylated metabolites were identified in each of the incubations. The metabolic activation of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon suggests a possible involvement of microorganisms in environmental carcinogenesis.
通过对代谢组分进行高效液相色谱分离,然后对代谢产物进行气相色谱-质谱分析,研究了铜绿假单胞菌和点青霉培养物中致癌多环芳烃7,12-二甲基苯并[a]蒽的微生物转化。在每次培养中均鉴定出两种甲基羟基化代谢产物。多环芳烃的代谢活化表明微生物可能参与环境致癌作用。
