FIG. 4.
Extracted ion chromatograms of the trimethylsilylated metabolites formed from transformed E. coli BL21(DE3)(pNCK33)(pBRCD) cells incubated with naphthalene (A), phenanthrene (B), anthracene (C), fluoranthene (D), pyrene (E), and benz[a]anthracene (F). Metabolite abbreviations are as follows: naphthalene cis-1,2-dihydrodiol, N1,2D; phenanthrene cis-1,2-dihydrodiol, P1,2D; phenanthrene cis-3,4-dihydrodiol, P3,4D; phenanthrene cis-9,10-dihydrodiol, P9,10D; anthracene cis-1,2-dihydrodiol, A1,2D; fluoranthene cis-2,3-dihydrodiol, F2,3D; pyrene cis-1,2-dihydrodiol, PY1,2D; pyrene cis-4,5-dihydrodiol, PY4,5D; benz[a]anthracene cis-5,6-dihydrodiol, BaA5,6D; benz[a]anthracene cis-10,11-dihydrodiol, BaA10,11D.
