Environmental Fate of Chiral Pollutants &ndash the Necessity of Considering Stereochemistry
Many organic compounds regulated by environmental laws are chiral and are released into the environment as racemates.3-Phenylbutanoic acid and mecoprop, two chiral pollutants, were enantioselectively degraded by pure Storage Cabinet cultures of microorganisms.This indicates the importance of assessing the environmental impact of stereoisomers separ
