✦ Synopsis

A microbial assay for the determination of halogenated organic hydrocarbons in water samples was developed using cells of a Rhodococcus strain. Bacterial cells containing the enzyme alkyl-halidohydrolase (EC. 3.8.1.1.) were immobilized in alginate gel by forming small beads which were added to the sample solution. On contact with halogenated hydrocarbons the enzyme liberated halogen ions which were detected by ion sensitive potentiometric chloride or bromide electrodes. In order to achieve a quick result, the change in EMF was recorded for an interval of 5 min and correlated to the contents of halogenated hydrocarbons (kinetic principle). The detection limit for chlorinated and brominated aliphatic hydrocarbons was below 50 pg I-' and 10 pg I-', respectively; the relative standard deviation was 5.5%. The influence of temperature, pH, several inorganic salts and metal ions was studied.

The bromination of saturated hydrocarbons was studied in the GoAggln system using CBrCls and other polyhaloalkanes. This bromination reaction was compared to free radical processes by (i) evaluating the rates of reactions for a series of polyhaloalkanes, by (ii) measuring the selectivity of the diff

A Ðeld-collected population of the silverleaf whiteÑy, Bemisia argentifolii, was selected with the nicotinyl compound, imidacloprid, over 32 generations to determine if resistance would develop when maintained under continuous selection pressure in a greenhouse. Resistance was slow to increase at Ðr
