b For each substance modelled, CATABOL generates a microbial metabolic pathway tree based upon the parent “query” structure and a prediction for biodegradability. The metabolic pathway tree module is based on a training data set primarily from the University of Minnesota Biocatalysis/Biodegradation database (UM-BBD) and expert knowledge. The metabolic tree contains the products of microbial biodegradation from the parent compound down to carbon dioxide and water or stable metabolites. Some of the chemicals could not be modelled by CATABOL due to the lack of SMILES notation.
The biodegradation simulator is based on a database of 742 substances tested by CITI (1992) using the Modified MITI Test (I), which follows the OECD 301C test methods and is one of six methods approved by the OECD for ready biodegradability. A more complete description of CATABOL modelling is provided in Robinson (2002).
