“…Both authentic BHE and the bacterial product had absorption maxima at 260 and 228 nm in hexane. The IR of biological and synthetic BHE were identical and showed bands at 3,150, 1,610, 1,500, 1,450, 1,340, 1,290, 1,185, 1,080, 1,050, 1,030, 1,010, 920, 765, 735, and 695 cm-'; a similar spectrum was obtained by Wang (17). The NMR spectrum of the bacterial product (Fig.…”

Cultures of Pseudomonas putida growing in solutions with diphenylmethane as sole carbon source formed 1,1,1′,1′-tetraphenyldimethyl ether. The product was identified by gas chromatography, mass spectrometry, and infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry. The formation of benzophenone, benzhydrol, and phenylglycolic acid was established by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. Similar techniques also revealed that phenylacetic acid was a major metabolite. Resting cell suspensions converted benzhydrol to phenyl-glycolic acid and products tentatively identified as hydroxybenzhydrols and a hydroxybenzophenone. Cell suspensions of the bacterium also converted the tetraphenyldimethyl ether to benzhydrol and benzophenone. Possible pathways for the degradation of these analogues of 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis( p -chlorophenyl)ethane (DDT) metabolites are discussed.

“…The spectrum also suggests M+ was either 183 or was too unstable to be detected. (17) and with a presumably similar fragmentation pattern. BHE was then synthesized, and the mass spectra of the synthetic chemical and the bacterial product were found to be identical.…”
