摘要
No evidence could be found for the production, in culture, of methylated antimony compounds from water-insoluble or soluble antimony derivatives by the aerobes, Scopulariopsis brevicaulis or Bacillus sp. or by anaerobes associated with cot mattress materials. The study does not support the hypothesis that volatile organoantimony compounds are a cause of cot deaths. Anaerobic cultures from a polluted pond generated trimethylstibine from potassium antimonyl tartrate. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
