Abstract

A cell suspension of Klebsiella pneumoniae converted the organophosphorus pesticide fensulfothion to a product that was shown by chemical oxidation, gas-liquid chromatography, infrared spectrophotometry, and mass spectrometry to be fensulfothion sulfide. Further alteration of this metabolite was not noted.
