    Notes: Abstract SNF1 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is an essential gene for the derepression of glucose repression. A homolog of SNF1 (CtSNF1) was isolated from an n-alkane-assimilating diploid yeast, Candida tropicalis. CtSNF1 could complement the snf1 mutant of S. cerevisiae. The previously published method for introducing the exogenous DNA into C. tropicalis was employed to construct SNF1/ snf1 heterozygote and snf1/snf1 homozygote strains. The successfully constructed SNF1/snf1 heterozygote was named KO-1. Disruption of the second CtSNF1 allele was unsuccessful, suggesting that CtSNF1 might be essential for cell viability. Therefore, in order to control the expression of CtSNF1, a strain (named KO-1G) in which the promoter region of CtSNF1 was replaced with the GAL10 promoter of C. tropicalis was constructed, and the growth of strains KO-1 and KO-1G was compared with that of the parental strain. The growth of strain KO-1 on glucose, sucrose, or acetate did not differ from the growth of the parental strain, but strain KO-1 showed a slight growth retardation on n-alkane. The growth of strain KO-1G on galactose was normal, but the cells stopped growing when transferred to glucose-, acetate-, or n-alkane-containing medium. Northern blot analysis against mRNA from the n-alkane-grown KO-1G strain demonstrated a close relationship between the presence of CtSNF1 mRNA and the growth of the cells, indicating that CtSNF1 is essential for cell viability. Moreover, mRNA levels of isocitrate lyase, which is localized in peroxisomes of C. tropicalis, were significantly affected by the level of CtSNF1 mRNA.

    Notes: Dynamic x-ray diffraction and dynamic birefringence techniques are employed to determine the nature of the molecular motions associated with the α mechanical loss processes for low-density polyethylene. The results indicate that the low-temperature part of this loss (designated α1) is associated with an interlammellar “grain boundary” slip process while the higher temperature process (α2) involves intracrystalline motion and plasticity of the crystal itself. The activation energy for α1 determined by x-ray response is 25-30 kcal/mole, while that for α2 is 30-60 kcal/mole. The findings are consistent with dynamic infrared and dynamic light-scattering results which indicate that the motion of amorphous chains is closely correlated with that of the crystals. The relative contributions of amorphous and crystalline regions to the birefringence are dependent on the thermal treatment of the sample. The effect of static strain on the dynamic response indicates that crystal orientability is first increased with strain, probably because of splaying apart of lamellae, is subsequently decreased because of the restrictions of interlamellae tie chains, but then increases again as the spherulites are destroyed at high strain. The static strain reduces the orientability of amorphous regions.

    Notes: The copolymerization of tetraoxane with styrene catalyzed by BF3·O(C2H5)2 was studied at 30°C. to determine whether a cyclic monomer can copolymerize with a vinyl monomer. The formation of the copolymer was confirmed by elementary analysis of both benzene-soluble and benzene-insoluble fractions of the polymer obtained. It was found by gas chromatography that a fairly large amount of 4-phenyl-1,3-dioxane and a small amount of trioxane were formed in the present system, in addition to polymers. Roughly a third of the total amount of the monomers reacted was consumed in the formation of methanol-insoluble polymer, a third for 4-phenyl-1,3-dioxane, and another third for trioxane and unknown products which could not be indentified. The formation of these cyclic compounds during the copolymerization may be explained in terms of a back-biting (or intramolecular transacetalization) reaction. The cationic reactivity of tetraoxane was found to be similar to that of styrene on the basis of both the consumption rate of each monomer in the copolymerizing system and the composition of the methanol-insoluble polymer obtained.

    Notes: It was determined whether trioxane, a cyclic formal, can copolymerize with styrene, a vinyl monomer, in the presence of BF3·O(C2H5)2 catalyst at 30°C. The methanol-in-soluble fraction after extraction with benzene was found to contain the copolymer of styrene and trioxane, thus demonstrating that trioxane can copolymerize with styrene In this case the amount of the methanol-insoluble polymer was less than that of the total monomer consumed, as determined by gas chromatography. This was found to be caused partly by the formation of the cyclic oligomer, 4-phenyl-1,3-dioxane. The relative reactivity of styrene was qualitatively found to be larger than that of trioxane, not only from the rate of monomer consumption but also from the composition of the methanol-insoluble polymer obtained. In a nonpolar solvent the reactivity of trioxane increased, and the difference in reactivity between the two monomers decreased. Indeed, an apparent monomer reactivity ratio might be obtained from the relationship between the monomer composition and the monomer consumption rate or the composition of the methanol-insoluble polymer, but it did not have a quantitative meaning because of the complexity of the copolymerization reaction.
