📊 Pathway Information
Description:
1,2-Dichloroethane is a major commodity chemical that is used, for example, in the manufacture of vinyl chloride. It is a moderately reactive alkylating agent, thus leading to concerns about its environmental fate. Bacteria capable of metabolizing 1,2-dichloroethane have been identified. This metabolism ([http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7765836|Janssen et al., 1994]) has become a model for bacterial hydrolytic dehalogenation of chlorinated aliphatic compounds ([http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8565904|Janssen et al., 1995]).
