And the article was published in Organohalogen Compounds in 1996. Computed Properties of C8H6Cl2O3 The author mentioned the following in the article:
The ubiquity of organohalogen production among basidiomycetes was investigated in 191 fungal strains by monitoring the production of adsorbable organic halogen (AOX) and by determination of chlorinated anisyl metabolites (CAM). For a AOX screening the strains were grown in a liquid medium and AOX was determined in the culture fluid. Almost 25% of the strains tested had a low AOX production (0.1-5.0 mg AOX/L), 16% a moderate production (0.5-5.0 mg AOX/L), and 9% a high production (5-67 mg AOX/L). The highest producers were species of the genera Hypholoma, Mycena, and Bjerkandera with AOX productions of 1074-30,893 mg AOX per kg dry weight of mycelia biomass. These species produced also AOX when cultivated on natural lignocellulosic substrates. CAM were detected in the extracellular fluid of the mycelium of 7 different basidiomycetes; in the genera Mycena, Peniophora, Phellinus, and Phylloporia CAM production was observed for the first time. Organohalogen production was a ubiquitous capacity among commonly occurring basidiomycetes fungi and they might be a major source of natural organohalogens in forest ecosystems. After reading the article, we found that the author used 3,5-Dichloro-4-methoxybenzoic acid(cas: 37908-97-7Computed Properties of C8H6Cl2O3)
3,5-Dichloro-4-methoxybenzoic acid(cas: 37908-97-7) belongs to organochlorine compounds. Many organochlorine compounds have been isolated from natural sources ranging from bacteria to humans. Chlorinated organic compounds are found in nearly every class of biomolecules and natural products including alkaloids, terpenes, amino acids, flavonoids, steroids, and fatty acids.
