| Abstract |
Structure-reactivity relationships are established for the microbial degradation of selected organic compounds. Second-order microbial degradation rate constants determined in natural water samples for six compounds correlate with the second-order alkaline hydrolysis rate constants. Also, second-order microbial degradation rate constants for four phthalate esters obtained with organisms from sediment-water samples correlate with the second-order alkaline hydrolysis rate constants. Similar correlations are demonstrated for the rates of oxidation of substituted phenols by mixed microbial cultures isolated from soils and Hammett delta constants. |
