Industry resistance groups, organization

Although knowledge on the biodegradation of these compounds is sparse, a number of them are important in industrial processes. Formation of methylated derivatives may take place in metals and metalloids belonging to groups 15 and 16 of the periodic table, and a few of group 14. These have been discussed in a critical review (Thayer 2002) and in Chapter 3, Part 4, and they have been noted in the context of the bacterial resistance to metals and metalloids. Since carbon monoxide has been considered as an organic compound (Chapter 7, Part 1), it is consistent to make brief comments on metal carbonyls.
