4-Methylquinoline (4-MeQ) showed an extraordinarily potent mutagenicity when compared to quinoline and isomeric methylquinolines. The major metabolite of 4-MeQ was 4-hydroxymethylquinoline, which was not mutagenic under the assay condition employed. Deuteration of the methyl group of 4-MeQ resulted in a

Methylquinolines and related N-heterocyclic aromatic compounds are common contaminants associated with the use of hydrocarbons in both coal gasification and wood treatment processes. These compounds have been found in groundwater, and many are known mutagens. A stable, five-member bacterial consortium
