The chloroform molecule can be viewed as a methane molecule with three hydrogen atoms replaced with three chlorine atoms, leaving a single hydrogen atom. The name "chloroform" is a portmanteau of terchloride (tertiary chloride, a trichloride) and formyle, an obsolete name for the methylylidene radical (CH) derived from formic acid. [citation ...

Chlorovirus, also known as Chlorella virus, is a genus of giant double-stranded DNA viruses, in the family Phycodnaviridae. This genus is found globally in freshwater environments [1] where freshwater microscopic algae serve as natural hosts. There are 19 species in this genus. [2] [3]
Only chloroform has significant applications of the haloforms. In the predominant application, chloroform is required for the production of tetrafluoroethylene (TFE), precursor to teflon . [ 1 ] Chloroform is fluorinated by reaction with hydrogen fluoride to produce chlorodifluoromethane (R-22).
A rare but deadly disease spread by mosquitoes has one town in Massachusetts closing its parks and fields each evening. State health officials announced last week a man in his 80s had caught the ...
Acanthocystis turfacea chlorella virus 1 (ATCV-1), also called Chlorovirus ATCV-1 or Chlorella virus ATCV-1 is a species of giant double-stranded DNA virus in the genus Chlorovirus. The host of ATCV-1 is Chlorella heliozoae ; it was demonstrated that "ATCV-1 neither attaches to nor infects" Chlorella variabilis .
She tested negative for the predominant human seasonal influenza viruses — but had a high viral loads of influenza A, which includes the major human seasonal flu viruses, as well as H5N1 bird flu.
Many organochlorine compounds have been isolated from natural sources ranging from bacteria to humans. [3] [4] Chlorinated organic compounds are found in nearly every class of biomolecules and natural products including alkaloids, terpenes, amino acids, flavonoids, steroids, and fatty acids.
