Product Information

• Name: 4-Chloronitrobenzene
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4-Chloronitrobenzene is a type strain of the bacterium Nitrosomonas europaea. It has been shown to be toxic to cells in both aerobic and anaerobic culture. 4-Chloronitrobenzene inhibits the activity of hydrogenase enzymes, which are required for the reduction of molecular oxygen to water. The toxicity of 4-chloronitrobenzene is due to its ability to inhibit enzyme activity, leading to cell death. This bacterium also has the ability to use chlorinated hydrocarbons as a carbon source and cause chlorination of other biological molecules. In addition, it can reduce metal hydroxides and form metal complexes with palladium and platinum metals. 4-Chloronitrobenzene is found in soil samples that have high concentrations of chloride ions or neutral pH values. Its phase equilibrium diagram shows that this compound exists mainly in liquid form when it is at low temperature, but becomes more
