| Application: | Toluene may be used in the following studies: • As a doping agent during the quantitative estimation of triacylglycerols (TAGs) by liquid chromatography-atmospheri • For the decontamination of microbial cultures and lyse bacterial cells in bacterial enzyme assays. • As a solvent for the preparation of 4-arm polylactide-based (PLA) star oligomer. |
| General description: | Toluene, a benzene analog, is widely employed as an organic solvent. It has been reported to be a biotoxic solvent (toxic to many microorganisms at 0.1%v/v concentrations). Its anaerobic biodegradation to CO2, by the denitrifying bacterium Thauera arornatica has been reported. It forms syndiotactic polystyrene-toluene molecular compound. Crystal structure of this molecular compound has been investigated by X-ray diffraction studies. |
