Bacterial defluorination of 4-fluoroglutamic acid

Donnelly, Clár ; Murphy, Cormac D. (Springer, 2007)

Fluorinated amino acids are used as enzyme inhibitors, mechanistic probes and in the production of pharmacologically active peptides. Because enantiomerically pure 4-fluoroglutamate is difficult to prepare, the selective ...
Factors influencing 4-fluorobenzoate degradation in biofilm cultures of Pseudomonas knackmussii B13

Misiak, Katarzyna ; Casey, Eoin ; Murphy, Cormac D. (Elsevier, 2011-05)

Membrane aerated biofilm reactors (MABRs) have potential in wastewater treatment as they permit simultaneous COD minimisation, nitrification and denitrification. Here we report on the application of the MABR to the removal ...
Treatment of fluoroacetate by a Pseudomonas fluorescens biofilm grown in membrane aerated biofilm reactor

Heffernan, Barry ; Murphy, Cormac D. ; Syron, Eoin ; Casey, Eoin (ACS Publications, 2009)

Fluorinated organic compounds have widespread applications, and their accumulation in the environment is a concern. Biofilm reactors are an effective technology for the treatment of contaminated wastewater, yet almost no ...
