A soil bacterium, Burkholderia sp. WS, grows on 2-chloroacrylate as the sole carbon source. To identify the enzymes metabolizing 2-chloroacrylate, we carried out comparative two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of the proteins from 2-chloroacrylate- and lactate-grown bacterial cells. As a result, we

The neurotoxin 2-chloropropionic acid (2CPA, 750 mg/kg, per os) induces ataxia in rats causing neuropathological changes (necrosis and edema) localized mainly in the cerebellum (CB). It has been described that putrescine (PUT) is a good marker of severe brain damage.

Previous studies have shown that L-2-chloropropionic acid (L-CPA) produces necrosis to cerebellar granule cells with some associated Purkinje cell damage in the rat. We have re-evaluated the neuropathology using the original sections and fresh sections from archived brain material from
