Biochemical responses of bacteria after short exposure to alkyltins / D. Lliu and K. Thomson. : En13-5/85-58E-PDF
"Organotin compounds are important chemicals with many industrial applications. For instance, the dialkyltins are used as heat stabilizers for PVC plastics and the trialkyltins being formulated into various biocidal applications. However little is known about their effect and fate in the aquatic environments. All the seven n-butyltin compounds (mono-, di-, tr-, and tetra-) studied were found to be biologically active, in terms of acute and sublethal toxicities. The bioactivity of organotin compounds is apparently due to their capability of interrupting the processes of energy metabolism in an organism. Since the demand for organotins will unlikely decrease, a systematic control and monitoring the use of such chemicals are therefore recomended to safeguard the environmental quality, particularly in light of the fact that the capacity to degrade organotin compounds is not widespread among bacteria"--Management perspective.
