    Notes: Construction of a gene expression system in tobacco cultured cells (BY2) was studied. A 925 bp promoter fragment of a heat-shock protein gene (HSP18.2) of Arabidopsis thaliana showed clear heat-shock response of expression of the β-glucuronidase (GUS) reporter gene in BY2 cells. Similar results were observed in a 500 mL flask and 3-L jar fermentor.Isolation of strong promoters in BY2 cells was tried. cDNA clones, in which the mRNA level is high in log-phase cells and the copy number in the genome is low, were isolated. These clones showed high homology with F1-ATPase (mitochondria type), elongation factor 1-α, and a gene with an unknown function of A. thaliana (clone 27), respectively. A 5′-flanking region of clone 27 showed 6.2 times the promoter activity of the CaMV35S promoter in BY2 cells.Three cDNA clones, which are expressed in the stationary growth phase of BY2 cells, were isolated by a differential screening. These clones showed high sequence homologies to alcohol dehydrogenase, pectin esterase, and extensin. Promoters of these genes will be useful in gene expression in high cell-density culture. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Biotechnol Bioeng 58:329-332, 1998.

    Notes: Various methods of thermogravimetric analysis were compared in case of polystyrene degradation. The reaction order, the activation energy and the preexponential factor were evaluated from common TG curves experimentally obtained. In most cases a 5-mg sample of polystyrene with 110,000 molecular weight was decomposed at heating rate of 10°C/min. The reaction was found under this experimental condition to be of first order with activation energy of 61.0 kcal/mole, though there were slight differences depending on the analytical methods used.

    Notes: The breaking mechanism of nylon-6 yarn is investigated, and the breakage of the yarn under simple tensile loading conditions is compared to that of a filament caused by the same loading. The simple model yarn consisting of seven filaments was prepared for this purpose. The yarn was ruptured at a low rate of extension, and the fracture morphologies of the filaments in the yarn were inspected by a scanning electron microscopy. These morphologies are clearly different from those of the filaments broken individually under the same testing conditions used for the yarn. Various kinds of appearances are obtained in the yarn, for example, a large V-shaped notch is observed, the controlled ductile tearing region is developed across the filament at a large angle to its axis, and the ruptured end is expanded into a plane which is perpendicular to its axis. These causes are discussed in detail to understand the breaking mechanism of the yarn.

    Notes: The identification of rat faecal metabolites of a new antihistaminic agent, ebastine, 4′-tert-butyl-4-[4-(diphenylmethoxy)piperidino]butyrophenone, is presented. After oral administration of (14C)ebastine (20 mg kg-1) to rats, 84% of the radioactive dose was excreted in the 24 h faeces. Unchanged drug and five metabolites were isolated from the faeces by thin-layer chromatography and solid-phase extraction, and their structures were identified by liquid secondary ion mass spectrometry using the B/E linked scanning technique. The main metabolic pathways were oxidation of a terminal methyl group to give the hydroxymethyl and carboxyl derivatives, and hydroxylation of a phenyl ring in the diphenylmethoxy moiety. In addition to the oxidative mechanism, metabolism of ebastine involved sulphate conjugation. It is noteworthy that M-4, having both phenolic and alcoholic hydroxyl groups, was sulphated selectively in the latter position.

    Notes: As demonstrated in Part II of this series of studies, the hydrophobic character of CF4 plasma-treated Nylon 6 and poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) decay with time of water immersion, and the rate of decay can be used as a measure for the surface mobility of (substrate) polymers. The same method of using fluorine-containing moieties introduced by CF4 plasma treatment as surface labeling is applied to investigate the influence of a thin layer of plasma polymer of methane applied onto the surface of those polymers. An ultrathin layer of plasma polymer provides a barrier to the rotational and diffusional migration of the introduced chemical moieties from the surface into the bulk of the film. The influence of operational parameters of plasma polymerization on the surface dynamic stability are examined by measuring the decay rate constants for (subsequently) CF4 plasma-treated samples. The rate constant was found to decrease sharply with increasing value of plasma energy input manifested by J/kg monomer, and no decay was observed as the energy input reached a threshold value (about 6.5 GJ/kg for PET, about 7.0 GJ/kg for Nylon 6), indicating that unperturbable surfaces can be created by means of plasma polymerization.

    Notes: Macromolecules at the surface of a polymeric solid have considerable mobility, and the specific arrangement of functional groups of macromolecules at the surface is dictated by the environmental conditions in which the surface is placed. Consequently, the change of environmental conditions, such as immersion in water or placement in a biological surrounding, could cause a cosiderable degree of change in the surface characteristics of a polymer from those evaluated in the laboratory against ambient air. The mobile nature of a polymer surface can be investigated by surface-implanting fluorine-containing moieties, mainly - CF3, by the plasma implantation technique and following the disappearance and reappearance of fluorine atoms on the surface. The disappearance rates (based on the immersion time in water at room temperature) of ESCA F1s signals, the decay rates of (advancing) contact angle of water, and the recovery of these values on heat treatment of water-immersed samples were measured as a function of crystallinity of polymer samples (at three levels of crystallinity) for poly(ethylene terephthalate) and nylon 6.

    Notes: Blending of polystyrenes (PS) with a thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer (LCP) was performed by using a continuous corotating twin screw extruder. The influence of LCP content on the blending process was studied by changing the barrel heater temperature and the screw speed. The torque of screw shafts, generated during the blending process, was influenced by LCP content and its influence was not simple. The torque generated during the blending process was not directly related to the apparent melt viscosity of blends. Further, the effects of the matrix viscosity on the morphology and mechanical properties of the PS/LCP blends were studied using three grades of PS as matrix resins. It was found that the size of the LCP dispersed phase decreased with increasing matrix viscosity. Consequently, the mechanical properties of the PS/LCP blend were improved. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Conventionally, acetal homopolymer or copolymer is obtained by the polymerization of formaldehyde or trioxane, following the end-capping using acetic anhydride or unzipping of the unstable polymer end fraction. First, Asahi Chemical developed a new process to obtain an end-capped polymer during polymerization of highly purified formaldehyde using acetic anhydride as the chain-transfer agent. Use of highly purified formaldehyde and endcapping during polymerization using acetic anhydride as a chain-transfer agent or an endcapping agent will provide a simple process for manufacturing acetal homopolymer. The polymerization mechanism was confirmed by infrared spectroscopy analysis and proton NMR analysis of the polymer obtained. Second, for the acetal copolymer, purified trioxane was copolymerized with ethylene oxide in the presence of methylal, which gave an endcapped polymer with high thermal stability. Two new intermediates from the initiation reaction of the copolymerization, 1,3,5,7-tetraoxacyclononane (TOCN) and 1,3,5,7,10-pentaoxacyclododecane (POCD), were isolated and a new initiation mechanism was proposed. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
