Huhnerfuss H, Faller J, Kallenborn R, Konig WA, Ludwig P, Pfaffenberger B, Oehme M, Rimkus G: Enantioselective and nonenantioselective degradation of organic pollutants in the marine ecosystem. Chirality. 1993;5(5):393-9. Enantiomeric ratios of 11 chiral environmental pollutants determined in different compartments of the marine ecosystem by chiral capillary gas chromatography and chiral high-performance liquid chromatography allow discrimination between the following processes: enantioselective decomposition of both enantiomers with different velocities by marine microorganisms (alpha-HCH, beta-PCCH, gamma-PCCH); enantioselective decomposition of one enantiomer only by marine microorganisms (DCPP); enantioselective decomposition by enzymatic processes in marine biota (alpha-HCH, beta-PCCH, trans-chlordane, cis-chlordane, octachlordane MC4, octachlordane MC5, octachlordane MC7, oxychlordane, heptachlor epoxide); enantioselective active transport through the "blood-brain barrier" (alpha-HCH); nonenantioselective photochemical degradation (alpha-HCH, beta-PCCH). |
