    Notes: The attachment, growth and product synthesis of non-flocculating Zymomonas mobilis cell, fixed in stainless steel wire spheres (WS), were investigated. The carrier surface was activated by treatment with titanium (IV) chloride (TiCl4) and γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (AS) in an attempt to raise the efficiency in the immobilization of the cells. System productivity for ethanol and levan production, using cells immobilized on a modified stainless steel in the batch fermentation of a sucrose medium, rose as a result of increased biomass compared to the productivity of cells fixed on untreated (control) metal surfaces. Stabilized ethanol synthesis was demonstrated in the course of four cycles (each cycle 48 h) of repeated fermentations with a stainless steel carrier treated with AS, and three cycles when TiCl4 was used. Levan synthesis decreased after three cycles with cells immobilized on a silanized surface. System productivity for ethanol and levan production after the fourth cycle in experiments with TiCl4-activated, silanized and unmodified carriers were Qeth = 1.01, 1.06 and 0.27 g/l × h; Qlev = 0.32, 0.29 and 0.12 g/l × h, respectively. However, the specific productivity of biomass for product synthesis was higher in fermentation systems with untreated stainless steel surfaces, probably due to some loss of physiological activity of cells attached to a modified carrier. Investigations of throughly washed activated stainless steel wire surfaces, by scanning electron microscopy after immobilization, showed significant attachment of cells to the carriers. A polymer layer covered the wire surface treated with TiCl4 after fermentations. This may be explained as the binding of extracellular polysaccharide, such as the fructose-polymer levan and yeast extract components, to the modified support via chelation. After four fermentations, craters and holes in the polymer layer were evident, probably as a result of CO2 formation. A small number of cells appeared on this layer. In view of the good ethanol formation during all fermentation cycles, it is probably that active Z. mobilis cells remained under the polymer layer. Wire treatment with AS resulted in the formation of long filamentous cells during fermentation and some disturbance of cellular fission. This may be partly explained by strong electrostatic interactions between the positively charged carrier surface and the predominately negatively charged surface of Z mobilis cells. However, this did not significantly affect other cellular functions. The surface of the wire treated with AG was practically without a polymer layer.

    Notes: In fixed-bed bioreactors, the influence of the oxygen content in the inlet air on the biodegradation of diesel fuel in unsaturated soil/compost mixtures was analyzed at 30°C over a period of 7 weeks. Firstly, a wide range from 0 to 80 vol.% O2 was investigated. Subsequently, the range below 5 vol.% O2 was examined more closely. Over the whole test period of seven weeks, no significant influence of oxygen could be observed above 1 vol. % O2 in the inlet air - either on the decrease of the total contaminants or on the total mineralization. Anaerobic conditions should be avoided for the degradation of diesel fuel. During the test period, the courses of CO2 production varied significantly depending on oxygen supply. Furthermore, a model was developed to estimate the total mineralization as a function of oxygen supply. More investigations are recommended in order to test this model for practical application.

    Notes: Zymomonas mobilis strain 113 “S” produces levan - an extracellular, viscous, biologically active, non-toxic fructose polymer with a unique structure and extraordinary properties. This polysaccharide was isolated at two different degrees of purity by alcohol precipitation from aqueous solutions and was characterized with respect to some rheological properties and stability of viscous solutions.The effects of temperature, pH and salt concentration on the viscosity of 1-3% levan solutions were examined. The viscosity of levan solutions was found to be quite stable and reversible at room temperature over a wide range of pH from 4 to 11. The viscosity was slightly affected by increased salt concentration. Levan solutions were rather stable at high temperatures (up to 70°C, 1 h, pH 6), where the viscosity could be almost completerly restored (up to 80-100%). Therefore, the degradation of the polymer structure under these conditions is probably insignificant. Temperatures of 70-100°C with a pH of less than 3.5 caused irreversible degradation of the levan structure.The above-mentioned properties of levan, obtained from Zymomonas mobilis 113 “S”, demonstrated the potential for the development of various therapeutic forms of pharmacologically-active levan and their application in medicine as well as in the food and other industries.

    Notes: The extractive purification of peroxidase from Armoracia rusticana roots and Glycine max seed coats in temperature-induced and affinity microsphere-containing aqueous two-phase systems was stuied. The extractive purification of peroxidase from Glycine max seed coats was carried out in a temperature-induced aqueous two-phase system formed by Triton X-45, Triton X-100 and sodium acetate at pH 5.5 A 99% yield with a 6-fold purification factor was obtained. When the clear top phase was subjected to concanavalin-A affinity chromatography, the purification factor rose to 41 and the yield dropped to 28%.A two-step purification process for peroxidase from Armoracia rusticana roots was developed by adding concanavalin-A affinity microspheres to a PEG/phosphate aqueous two-phase system. The method allows a 60% recovery of high purity peroxidase (1,860 guaiacol units per mg). A lower recovery rate and degree of purification of this enzyme was achieved after temperature-induced aqueous two-phase partition or acetone precipitation and concanavalin-A affinity column chromatography.

    Notes: Endo-β-glucanase (endo-β-1,4-glucano-glucanase EC 3.2.1.4), isolated from Trichoderma reesei, was immobilized in calcium alginate beads, retaining 75% of its original activity. The polyanionic moiety surrounding the immobilized enzyme displaced the pH-activity profile to alkaline regions with respect to that of the free enzyme. The enzyme was inhibited by carboxymethylcellulose, but this inhibition appeared to be decreased by immobilizatíon. The enzyme immobilized in alginate beads showed a Km value (1.02% w/v) lower than that of the enzyme (1.31%). The apparent Vmax of immobilized cellulase preparations (238.3 μmol glucose/ml × h) decreased by a factor of 0.59 with respect to that of the soluble enzyme. The optimum temperature (60°C) of the free and entrapped enzymes remained unaltered. In contrast, the half-life of the endoglucanase immobilized in calciumalginate beads was 4.6 h at 55°C and 5.4 h at 60°C, while that of the free enzyme was 3.0 h at 55°C and 1.2 h at 60°C. A technological application of the immobilized enzymes was tested using wheat straw as a source of fermentable sugars. The hydrolytic degradation of straw, by means of a crude extract of free and immobilized cellulases and β-glucosidase, released a large amount of reducing sugars from wheat straw after 48 h (between 250-720 mg glucose/g straw), carrying out more than a 90% saccharification. A mixture of immobilized β-glucosidase and free cellulases maintained 80% of the activity of the soluble counterparts, and the co-immobilization of both types of enzymes reduced by hydrolytic efficiency to half.

    Notes: The specific aspects of airlift reactors emphasizing their function relevance to particular application as bioreactors are presented.The two main groups of airlift reactors - external-loop and concentric-tube reactors - were investigated on a pilot-plant scale with regard to their performance during the cultivation of unicellular and filamentous microorganisms which produce Bacitracin, Cephalosporin C and Nystatin. Some results were compared to those obtained in conventional stirred tank bioreactors. The comparison was carried out based on physical properties (oxygen transfer rate (OTR), volumetric mass transfer coefficient (kLa) and efficiency of oxygen transfer (EO2)), cell mass, productivity and substrate consumption, secondary metabolite production, and efficiency of the product formation with regard to the specific power input.It was shown that B. licheniformis, C. acremonium and S. noursei fermentations occurred similarly to those performed in stirred vessels, proving that the capacity of the airlift bioreactors surpassed the problems which arise from the morphology and rheology of the broths. From the chemical engineering point of view, it was obvious that the primary tasks of a bioreactor (uniform distribution of microorganisms and nutrients over the entire fermenter volume, appropriate supply of biomass with nutrients and oxygen) were fulfilled by the airlift bioreactors tested. In addition, the efficiency of oxygen transfer (OTR referred to power input) in the airlift fermenters proved to be about 38% higher than in the stirred tank bioreactors (expressed as average values), while the sorption efficiency (OTR referred to antibiotic production) was found to be 22% greater in the airlift system than in an STR.Therefore, the biosyntheses were performed with about a 30-40% increase in energy efficiency and energy savings compared to the conventional system.Moreover, the lack of mechanical devices in the airlift system provides greater safety and a gentler environment for the cultivation of microorganisms.

    Notes: In various bacterial strains belonging to the β-subdivision of proteobacteria which are capable of degrading chlorinated monoaromatic compounds, chlorocatechol 1,2-dioxygenase genes were detected by PCR and Southern hybridization. Using PCR primers derived from the conserved sequence motifs of chlorocatechol 1,2-dioxygenase genes tfdC, clcA and tcbC, PCR products of the expected size were obtained with the test strains, but not with negative control strains. The specificity of the PCR products was verified by hybridization using an oligonucleotide probe for an internal sequence motif which is evolutionarily conserved among chlorocatechol 1,2-dioxygenases and some other dioxygenases that catalyze the intradiol aromatic-ring-cleavage. Hybridization with the tfdC PCR product from the 2,4-D degradative plasmid pJP4 under stringent conditions revealed different extents of homology of the chlorocatechol 1,2-dioxygenase genes to the canonical tfdC sequence in the various strains. These findings were confirmed by the nucleotide sequence analysis of the tfdC-specific PCR products. From our results, we conclude that the PCR primer set is more suitable than the hybridization with pJP4-derived gene probes for the detection of diverse chlorocatechol 1,2-dioxygenase genes in proteobacteria.

    Notes: The degradation of lignocellulosic biomass of banana pseudoste was investigated during solid state fermentation (SSF) by P. ostreatus and P. sajor-caju. Both organisms proved to be efficient degraders of banana pseudostem biomass. P.ostreatus degraded hemicellulose (40% of dry weight, d.w.) better than cellulose (17.5% of d.w.) and lignin (10% of d.w.). P. sajor-caju also degraded hemicellulose (31% of d.w.) better than cellulose (12.4% of d.w.) and lignin (6% of d.w.). In both cases, a preferential removal of hemicellulose during the initial growth period and a delayed degradation of lignin were observed. The kinetics of cellulolytic, hemicellulolytic and lignolytic enzyme production in liquid culture were also examined. The activities of CMCase and β-glucosidase were highest at 16 days of growth and avicelase activity was at its maximum after 24 days (CMCase - 1.1 IU/ml, β-glucosidase - 0.09 IU/ml in the case of P. ostreatus; CMCase - 1.0 IU/ml, β-glucosidase - 0.087 - IU/ml in the case of P. sajor-caju.). Xylanase and laccase activity reached their maximum after day 16 and day 24 of incubation, respectively. (Xylanase - 1.1 IU/ml and laccase 3.0 IU/ml in the case of P. ostreatus; xylanase - 1.0 IU/ml and laccase - 3.6 IU/ml in the case of P. sajor-caju.). The efficient degrading capacity of test fungi demonstrated their potential use in the conversion of banana pseudostem biomass into mycelial protein-rich fermented animal feed.

    Notes: For the purpose of forming cells possessing more than three nuclei and of determining the factors inducing multinucleation, cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae were treated with 0, 0.3, 0.5, and 1.0% [w/v] colchicine solution, with and without shaking. When the cells were treated with 1.0% [w/v] colchicine solution, the number of cells containing two to eight nuclei was the largest. The multinucleate cells could grow on potato dextrose agar medium and their multinucleate nature did not disappear for at least three generations. This means that such cells are genetically stable. The proliferation rate of the multinucleate cells was not superior to that of the original strain. However, by monitoring the weight loss of the flask, it was possible to indirectly estimate the increase in the alcohol production of the multinucleate cell. It was concluded that the shaking treatment and higher colchicine concentrations contributed to multinucleation.

    Notes: Candida rugosa was cultivated in a mixed-solid substrate containing coconut oil cake (COC) and fine and coarse wheat bran (1:1:1) with an initial water activity (aw) of 0.92. The substrate was modified by adding a mineral solution (5%), corn steep liquor (6%), maltose (2%), peptone (3%), olive oil (10%), gum arabic (0.4%), different fatty acids (0.3%) and Tweens (0.5%). Fermentation in a column fermenter significantly improved the lipase yield to 118.2 Units per gram of dry fermented substrate [U/gds] at 72 h. This result was obtained 24 hours earlier than in our former studies (87.76 U/gds at 96 h) in COC, and the yield showed a 38% increase. Growth was measured indirectly by determining the glucosamine content in the cell wall of the yeast contained in the fermented matter, after its hydrolysis.

    Notes: The root nodules of Melilotus alba DESR., a fodder legume, contained high amounts of IAA. A tryptophan pool present in the nodule might serve as a source of IAA production. Presence of IAA oxidase and peroxidase in the nodules indicated the metabolism of IAA, at least in part, in the nodules. The Rhizobium species isolated from the root nodules produced a high amount of IAA (190 μg/ml) from L-tryptophan supplemented basal medium. IAA production and microbial growth were coincident. The production of IAA by the Rhizobium sp. was increased by 315% when the medium was supplemented with lactose (1%), NiCl2 (10 μg/ml), cetyl pyridinium chloride (0.5 μg/ml) and glutamic acid (0.4%), in addition to L-tryptophan (3 mg/ml). The possible role of the rhizobial production of IAA on the rhizobia-legume symbiosis is discussed.

    Notes: In a prospective study, nuclear DNA was extracted from colorectal tumours and normal mucosa which had been fixed in buffered formalin and embedded into paraffin. DNA-extraction was performed using three different methods: a commercial kit which was not especially created for this use; a known fast procedure without DNA-cleaning steps; and a more conventional DNA-preparation protocol with DNA-cleaning. Using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), DNA was amplified by being targeted onto two β-globin fragments with different lengths (536 bp and 989 bp) and (CA)n repeats localized on chromosome 5q (D5S346) and chromosome 17p (TP53CA) with a length of about 100 bp for detection of microsatellite instability. The success rate of microsatellite amplification was 100% with all methods. The 536 bp β-globin fragment could be amplified with a success rate ranging from 40% to 100%. The amplification of the 989 bp β-globin fragment was unsuccessful. Significant differences were observed between the three methods in the final DNA concentration and DNA yield. In microsatellite instability studies of paraffin-embedded tissues, the investigator can expect a high success rate of nearly 100% using any of the described methods.

    Notes: An enzymatic process to decrease the phenolic content in canola meal was investigated. The new method was based on the addition of an enzyme preparation from the white-rot fungus Trametes versicolor to concentrated meal-buffer slurries. This approach eliminated the extraction of the valuable meal components such as proteins and carbohydrates. Two systems were considered: (i) slurries with canola meal concentrations higher than 33% [w/v]; (ii) slurries with canola meal concentrations equal to or less than 12.5% [w/v] with n-hexane as the main component of the continuous phase.The concentration of sinapic acid esters decreased by 99% after a 1.5, 2 and 3 hour long treatment of the meal with an initial moisture content of 75% at 90°C, 70°C and 50°C, respectively. The process was carried out at temperaturs as high as 110°C. Both the enzyme and the moisture concentrations influenced the enzymatic process and their action was coupled. The concentration of oxygen strongly affected the process.The enzymatic process was able to be carried out in the presence of hexane as the main component of the continuous phase. The optimum temperature for such a process was 30-40°C, At 30°C, after 1 h of treatment, the meal phenolic content was decreased by 97%. The water uptake by the meal was diminished in the presence of hexane.

    Notes: TNM-FH Lepidopteran insect cell culture medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), while allowing limited vegetative growth of Paenibacillus larvae (wild-type strain), the causative agent of American foulbrood, contained no viable vegetative cells upon subculture, nor were any heat resistant spores produced in this medium alone. However, TNM-FH medium cotaining embryonic or midgut cells from Trichoplusia ni, hemocytes from Estigmene acrea, ovarian and embryonic cells from Spodoptera frugiperda, embryonic cells from Plutella xylostella, Spodoptera exigua and Pseudaletia unipuncta or ovarian cells from Lymantria dispar, supported both heavy vegetative cell growth and moderate production of heat resistant spores. EX-CELL 405 serum-free insect cell culture medium alone appeared to contain the appropriate nutrients required for both vegetative growth and sporulation of P. larvae. However, in the presence of embryonic cells from T. ni, limited vegetative growth occurred and the P. larvae cells appeared to die off. This was confirmed by the fact that no colony growth occurred upon subculture, nor were any heat resistant spores detected. This was true also in the presence of fat body cells from T. ni, except that a limited number of spores (4,000/ml) were detected in the form of cology-forming units (CFU) on plates following heating to 80°C for 20 minutes. In a parallel study with a wild-type strain of Bacillus popilliae, vegetative cells grew only in TNM-FH medium in the presence of mid-gut BTI-Tn-MG and ovarian (Tn-368) cells of T. ni. No heat resistant spores, however, were detected in any of the cultures. When BTI-Tn-MG and Tn-368 cells were further challenged with four variant cultures of B. popilliae, vegetative growth and limited sporulation were achieved. The BTI-Tn-MG cell line in TNM-FH medium produced as many as 12,000 spores/ml after 21 days in culture.

    Notes: The conversion of starch from unhydrolyzed cassava flour to ethanol by a pure culture of Endomycopsis fibuligera and by a co-culture of this amylolytic yeast and the bacterium Zymomonas mobilis was studied.The best overall results were obtained using the mixed culture. After 96 h of fermentation of a medium containing 150 g/l initial cassava starch, an ethanol concentration of 31.4 g/l, a productivity of 0.33 g ethanol/l × h and a yield of 0.21 g ethanol/g initial starch were reached. The highest yield (0.37 g/g) was obtained after 48 h when using a medium containing 50 g/l initial starch.

    Notes: Common theories of microbial growth and physiology are formulated exclusively in terms of the isolated microorganisms - especially bacteria. This is, however, an inadmissible simplification because it is obvious that the organization of microbial populations and colonies follows certain general rules.Bacterial colonies are able to generate complex interfacial growth patterns similar to those observed during diffusion-limited growth processes in non-living systems. One reason for these patterns is assumed to be the ability of many bacteria to swarm in an active manner on a substrate surface. Therefore the models of bacterial colony growth incorporate “random walkers”, which move actively in response to a gradient in the concentration of nutrients and communicate with each other by means of a chemotactic feedback.A selected number of yeasts were tested with regard to their colony growth patterns depending on the medium parameters such as nutrient concentration. Growth patterns similar to those which were described in literature for bacteria were also found in these experiments. It concerns in particular growth types like compact growth, fractal growth and dense-branching growth.This result allows a hypothesis to be formulated, that - especially in the case of fractal growth patterns - wandering of cells on a substrate surface may be induced by uncontrolled “swimming” on a thin water film caused by the metabolic activity (e.g. respiration) of the cells on the surface of the agar.Furthermore it was found that an interplay between changes in the individual morphology of yeast cells and the morphology transitions takes place. Such growth patterns are known for Candida sp. which are able to form pseudomycel and blastospores.

    Notes: Pioneering research efforts in the handling of municipal sewage in developing countries have involved the use of water hyacinth (Eichhornea crassipes) to purify sewage for possible re-use of the effluent water for domestic purposes. The ability of water hyacinth to remove pollution from raw sewage has been found to be impaired by sewage toxicity. Trials were therefore carried out to adapt water hyacinth to toxicity and thereby increase its ability to remove pollutants from raw sewage. The plants were adapted using an active bio-degrader consisting of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella ozaenae, Klebsiella edwardsiella and Baccillus subtilis. The adaptation progressed through 20, 40, 60 and 80% sewage dilution until plants capable of growth in 100% raw sewage were obtained. Plants were observed for morphological growth and at four weeks, samples were collected for tissue analysis.The plants progressively absorbed nutrients from sewage up to the fourth week, when signs of toxicity were obsereved through wilting, loss of turgidity and reduction in leaf number. However, plants that survived through a series of adaptations under various sewage dilutions exhibited luxuriant growth on raw sewage. In synergy with the active bio-degrader, the efficiency of the adapted water hyacinth to remove pollutants (nutrients) from raw sewage was enhanced by 93%.

    Notes: The reusability of biomass in lactic acid batch fermentation with free cells of Lactobacillus paracasei was studied in a 2-1 fermenter and in a 50-1 fermenter. In lab-scale fermentation experiments, 33 to 100% of the cell mass formed was reused in the subsequent batch in each case. In a series of seven consecutive batches, maximum values of lactate formation productivity of 6.32 to 11.54 g/l × h were observed at initial cell concentrations of 2.1 to 24.6 g/l. In all of the experiments, the initial cell viability was 78% or greater than 78%, and the final cell viability did not fall below 70%. At cell concentrations above 20 g/l, the productivity of lactic acid formation did not increase further, but remained constant. Because its level could be influenced by varying the proportions between the content of yeast extract, peptone and initial cell mass (1:1:2, 1:1:1 and 3.3.1) in the medium and no inhibitory effects were observed, this finding can be attributed to nutrient limitation. A low degree of cell reuse was reached in an analogous series of experiments carried out in a 50-1 fermenter. In this case, the initial cell concentration varied between 0.5 and 1.1 g/l, and therefore cell growth was not limited by nutrients in the first period of fermentation. Lactate production was still stable after six cell-reuse operations. The lactic acid yield did not fall below 90%. Temporary storage of the biomass in a refrigerator for a time interval of one to two weeks caused no significant impairment of overall lactate production, but a proportional prolongation of the lag phase occurred with increasing duration of storage.

    Notes: A 4-nitrophenol degrading strain PNP1 isolated from the El-Harrach River near Algiers (Algeria) was studied with respect to its growth behaviour. According to the morphological and biochemical characteristics this strain was assigned to Pseudomonas putida. Besides 4-nitrophenol, the strain also used 1,2- and 1,4-dihydroxybenzene, benzoate, 4-hydroxybenzoate and 3,4-dihydroxybenzoate as sources of carbon and energy, degrading them exclusively via the ortho pathway. Pseudomonas putida PNP1 degrades 4-nitrophenol through a purely oxidative pathway with release of the nitro group as nitrite. During cultivation with 4-nitrophenol in ammonium-containing mineral medium, the strain PNP1 grew optimally at pH 7 and at a temperature between 30 and 35°C and showed stoichiometric nitrite release (at pH 7 and 30°C MONOD model parameters μmax = 0.615 h-1 and KS = 0.145 mg/l). A phenomenological model for the description of growth inhibition at high 4-nitrophenol concentrations was derived (below 400 mg/l only weak inhibition and at 600 mg/l acute toxicity). In ammonium-free medium, the maximum specific growth rate was reduced to 0.318 h-1 and part of the 4-nitrophenol-N was used as the nitrogen source (32% N in biomass and 68% N in nitrite). The yield coefficients of strain PNP1 were smaller in ammonium-free than in ammonium-containing medium (e.g. with 4-nitrophenol YX/S = 0.305 g/g compared to 0.350 g/g), which can be explained by the energy expense for the assimilatory nitrite reduction in the biosynthesis of N-containing cellular compounds. But the oxygen consumption was only slightly influenced by the ammonium content of the cultivation medium (e.g. with 4-nitrophenol YO/S = 1.005 g/g compared to 0.954 g/g).

    Notes: An enzymic characteristic of Novo dextranase was presented. In addition to a high dextranolytic activity (7,200 U/ml), the crude enzyme also contained small amounts of protease, glucoamylase, polygalacturonase, carboxymethylcellulase, laminarinase and chitinase. A highly purified dextranase was then simply separated from a commercial preparation by column chromatographies on DEAE-Sepharose, CM-Sepharose, and by chromatofocussing on Polybuffer Exchanger PBE-94. The enzyme was recovered with an over 200-fold increase in specific activity and a yield of 84%. The final preparation was homogeneous, as observed during high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Size-exclusion HPLC indicated that dextranase had a molecular mass of 35 kDa and its isoelectric point, established by chromatofocussing, was 4.85. Analysis of the dextran break-down products indicated that purified dextranase represents an endolytic mode of action, and isomaltose and isomaltotriose were identified as the main reducing sugars of dextran hydrolysis. The enzyme was then covalently coupled to the silanized porous glass beads modified by glutaraldehyde (Carrier I) or carbodiimide (Carrier II). It was shown that immobilization of dextranase gave optimum pH and temperature ranges from 5.4 to 5.7 and from 50°C to 60°C, respectively. The affinity of the enzyme to the substrate decreased by a factor of more than 13 for dextranase immobilized on Carrier I and increased slightly (about 1.4-times) for the enzyme bound to Carrier II.

    Notes: The ability of a mixed natural microbial population, collected in an aerated lagoon treating Fluff pulp effluent and Streptomyces viridosporus strain T7A, to degrade lignosulphonate was evaluated. S. viridosporus growing in a mineral medium containing glycerol (7 g/l) and lignosulphonate (1 g/l) allowed 20% of lignosulphonate to be degraded after 18 days of incubation. A culture of the mixed population on culture medium after S. viridosporus growth was unable to degrade lignosulphonate products. Moreover, antagonism between S. viridosporus and the mixed population or between S. viridosporus and the isolated strains from this population was observed. The enhancement of lignosulphonate biodegradation by naturally occurring microorganisms in association with S. viridosporus (bioaugmentation strategy) seems to be difficult.

    Notes: The cleaning of the exhaust gases of a bioreactor containing volatile hydrocarbons in a bioreactor system with a closed gas circuit is described. The bioreactor system consisted of three different reactor types: a stirred tank which was filled with hydrocarbon-containing waste water to simulate the exhaust gases of a remediation process; a trickle-bed reactor for aerobic treatment of the exhaust gas from the stirred tank; and a photoreactor containing an algae culture which assimilated CO2 from the trickle-bed reactor and also produced O2. With this bioreactor system, it was possible to efficiently remove volatile organic compounds (VOC) from the waste gases. Depending on the type of waste water investigated, elimination rates of 41% to 93% of BTEX (benzene, ethylbenzene, toluene, xylene) and 29% to 53% of VCH (volatile chlorinated hydrocarbons) were obtained. Due to the photosynthesis of the algae in the system's photoreactor, oxygen concentrations between 12% and 18% [v/v], equivalent to about 57% to 83% DOT, were obtained. This concentration permitted the aerobic degradation to be carried out without having to add fresh air. The trickle-bed reactor and the photoreactor worked continuously, whereas the waste water in the stirred bioreactor was replaced in different batches. The accumulation of toxic compounds in the nutrient solutions of the trickle-bed (EC-50 〉 30 g/l) and of the photoreactor (EC-50 〉 35 g/l) was low. Carbon dioxide concentrations in the gas flow were higher than in fresh air (1% to 3% [vol/vol]), but no long-term accumulation of CO2 occurred. This means that the algae in the photoreactor were active enough to assimilate the CO2 which had been produced. They were also able to produce sufficient oxygen for aerobic hydrocarbon degradation. The system described is a first step towards treating waste gases which results from the bioremediation of hydrocarbon-contaminated media in a closed gas circuit without any emission (e.g. VOC, CO2, germs).

    Notes: Protoplasts of a xylose-fermenting yeast strain (a fusion product of Pachysolen tannophilus and Saccharomyces cerevisiae) were fused with isolated nuclei of the xylan degrading filamentous fungus Fusarium moniliforme. Polyethyleneglycol 4000 was used as the fusogenic agent. Fourteen stable hybrids showing xylanase activity were obtained. It can be assumed that this ability was acquired from the nuclear genome of the fungus, since the parental yeast strain did not show any xylanase activity. The enzymatic activity was determined quantitatively. The parental strain of the fungus reached its maximum xylanase activity of 796 nkat/ml at 96 h of growth. Four of the hybrids had a xylanase activity of between 211 and 297 nkat/l at 24 h of growth. Zymograms of these hybrids showed the presence of xylanases when grown on xylan as the sole carbon source. Using pulse field electrophoresis gels, no difference between the chromosome pattern of the fusion products and the parental yeast strain was observed.

    Notes: The calluses of two hydroxyproline-resistant lines (D20-1 and D30-1) of Solanum tuberosum L. were transferred to a solidified MS medium containing 1.0 mg/I IAA, 2.0 mg/l zeatin, 40.0 mg/l adenine sulphate, 1 g/l casein hydrolysate, 20 g/l sucrose and 10 g/l agar for plant regeneration. The shoot regeneration was only achieved from the callus of line D20-1. Regenerated shoots exhibited morphological variability. The degrees of frost tolerance were higher in the leaves of the regenerated plants compared with the leaves of the non-selected control plants, but lower than that of the callus from which they were regenerated.

    Notes: The batch production of gluconic acid in the presence of glucose, sucrose and molasses was investigated using free mycelia of Aspergillus foetidus NRRL 337 in shake flasks. Eight growth parameters were chosen as independent variables. The temperature, pH, substrate type and initial concentrations, inoculum percentage and shake rate directly affected the specific microorganism growth and gluconic acid production rates. The optimum temperature and initial pH values were found to be 33°C and five to six, respectively. The maximum specific growth and gluconic acid production rates were established as 57 g/dm3 of glucose, 75 g/dm3 of sucrose and 150 g/dm3 of molasses. The optimum values of the shake rate, inoculum percentage and initial ammonium nitrate concentration were determined as 100 1/min, 0.5% and 1.5 g/dm3, respectively. The maximum gluconic acid concentrations corresponding to these initial substrate concentrations were observed to be 8.3 g/dm3, 17.4 g/dm3 37.0 g/dm3, respectively. The optimum specific microbial growth and gluconic acid production rates were found as 0.0145 1/h and 0.0375 g/g × h, respectively, for the fermentation conditions of SGo = 57 g/dm3, T = 28°C, initial pH = 6.5, N = 84 1/min, A = 0.5 g/dm3 and I = 0.5%.

    Notes: Covalent immobilization of thermostable α-amylases from catabolite resistant and sensitive Bacillus licheniformis strains on controlled pore glass (CPG) and porous silica (Spherosil) beads and ionic binding on DEAE-cellulose, Amberlite and Dowex were investigated. Preparations with satisfactory operational stabilities and activities up to 1,600 U/g of support (ionic binding) and 800 U/g carrier (covalent coupling) were obtained. Immobilization led to a narrowing of the pH interval of maximum activity. The fixed amylases were stable in limited pH regions around the optimum pH level. An enhancement of the enzyme thermostability was observed. Apparent shifts of the optimum temperatures were not found. The apparent Vmax decreased up to 80 times. The Km′ remained unchanged (for amylopectin as the substrate) or increased up to 10 times (soluble starch). Maltose, maltotriose and maltopentaose were the main products of the hydrolysis. A significant increase in maltopentaose content was observed.

    Notes: The formation of reactive groups on polyamide nets (nylon 6) and the subsequent immobilization of glucoamylase were investigated. Different mesh sizes of the nets and two chemical methods of enzyme coupling - i( partial hydrolysis of the polyamide with subsequent glutaraldehyde binding and ii) O-alkylation of the carrier using a treatment with a benzene-methyl sulphate mixture - were used. The reactivity of immobilized glucoamylase (GA) was tested by hydrolysis reactions using 1% starch solutions. The highest reactivity (140 μg glc/)min × cm2 was obtained for methylated nylon samples attached to a glass rod and by coupling glucoamylase on the nylon surface which had been treated with lysine and glutaraldehyde. This method resulted in a more reactive and more stable preparation of immobilized glucoamylase as compared to a simpler method of coupling glutaraldehyde to partially hydrolyzed nylon.

    Notes: Different cultural parameters that regulate pectinolytic enzyme production in vitro by Trametes trogii were studied. When grown in a medium containing pectin, T. trogii produced extracellular polymethylgalacturonase, polygalacturonase and pectin lyase but no pectate lyase activity. No significant differences in the maximum enzyme activities measured were observed with the addition of xylan, carboxymethylcellulose or both to the medium containing pectin. The addition of glucose to that medium considerably decreases all the activities studied, and in a medium with glucose as the sole carbon source no galacturonase activity could be measured, and pectin lyase activity was at its minimum. The low synthesis of pectin lyase in cultures containing glucose suggests that this enzyme is constitutive in contrast to the polygalacturonases that were not detected. The increase in pectin concentration stimulated growth and enzyme production. The highest specific activities were attained with the greatest concentration tested (15 g/l). Casamino acids were the best nitrogen source for enzyme production. Maximum growth was measured at pH 3.3; pH values of around 4.5 stimulated enzyme production, but high pectinase activities were also detected in media with more alkaline initial pH values (6.2 for galacturonases and 6.6 for lyases), probably owing to the specific induction of particular isoforms. In the range of 23 to 28°C, good results were obtained in growth as well as in enzyme production. The addition of Tween 80 promoted growth and gave the highest yield of polymethylgalacturonase and pectin lyase (0.37 and 36.2 E.U./ml, respectively). The highest polygalacturonase activity (1.1 E.U/ml) was achieved with polyethylene glycol. Tween 20 and Triton X-100 inhibited growth and pectinase production.

    Notes: Cell growth and organic acid production by Propionibacteria are dependent on the vitamin-nitrogen source in the culture medium. Final cell and propionic acid concentrations produced by Propionibacterium shermanii, using corn-steep liquor, were higher than those obtained utilizing yeast extracts. Since corn-steep liquor is much cheaper than yeast extract, the process becomes more attractive. By calculating the specific growth rates, it was observed that the critical propionic acid concentration, that prevents all growth (μX = 0), is different depending on the vitamin-nitrogen source used and its concentration. For example, for 5.0 and 15.0 g/l Oxoid yeast extract, those critical propionic acid concentrations were 16.0 and 27.0 g/l, respectively. Such propionic acid concentrations inhibit the cell growth, but not the formation of acid. The specific propionic acid production rate also indicates that the critical concentration for metabolic activity, when propionic acid is no longer produced (μP = 0), varies according to the vitamin-nitrogen source and its concentration in the medium. For 5.0 and 15.0 g/l Oxoid yeast extract, those concentrations were 22.1 and 30.1 g/l, respectively.

    Notes: The fermentation process of acid curd whey using pure cultures of L. bulgaricus and L. acidophilus was investigated. The influence of the starter culture amount on the acidification rate in the fermentation was specified, the biological value of fermented and fermented-ammoniated curd whey was determined, and the ability of fermented whey to prevent the injurious effect of Bac. mesenthericus on the wheat bread quality was examined.Acid curd whey was fermented up to a titratable acidity of 19.8-21.6 g lactic acid/kg whey using L. acidophylus and L. bulgaricus. Mathematical equations were developed on the basis of experimental data to calculate the titratable acidity (A) as a functionof fermentation time (τ) and temperature (t). Fermentation and fermentation-ammoniation processes increase the biological value of whey (the content of the vitamins B1, B2, B6, PP and the free amino acids increase). A new dry fodder BIOLAKTS was developed from fermented curd whey and was recommended for use in veterinary medicine. The fermentation-ammoniation process of curd whey was carried out by adding calculated amounts of non-protein nitrogen NH4OH to increase the total protein equivalent and to achieve mutual proportions of protein and lactose 1:1.4, as in skimmed milk. Fermented-ammoniated curd whey was used to obtain a skimmed milk substitute. A dry flour lactic acid concentrate (FLC) was created as a mixture of high quality wheat flour and evaporated fermented whey in established ratios. As our experiments prove, it can be used as an additive in bread-making to prevent the spoiling of wheat bread by Bac. mesenthericus.

    Notes: A procedure for identifying redundancy in the Cartesian force constant matrix is described, and a prescription is given for generating the entire matrix of second derivatives from the minimal set of information. A proof is supplied which demonstrates that the number of nonredundant rows corresponding to a symmetry unique atom is necessarily less than three if the atom is invariant with respect to a symmetry operation of the point group other than the identity or inversion. Furthermore, only one row is required if the atom lies on a threefold or higher-order rotation axis. An application of the procedure to the evaluation of harmonic force constants by numerical differentiation of gradient vectors is briefly described.

    Notes: An intermediate neglect of differential overlap (INDO) model for elements of the second transition series is described. Values of exponents for the radial portion of the Slater basis atomic orbitals, the orbital ionization energies, and the beta (or bonding) parameters for these elements are reported. Use of the model to investigate equilibrium geometries, relative energy ordering of geometric isomers, spectroscopic transition energies, energy ordering of state wave functions of different symmetry, trends in dipole moments, and equilibrium stretching frequencies is reported. The results indicate that the INDO method is capable of yielding quality results for species containing atoms of the second transition series.

    Notes: The numerical properties of a two-dimensional integral representation [J. Grotendorst and E.O. Steinborn, Phys. Rev. A 38, 3857 (1988)] of the three-center nuclear attraction integral with a special class of exponential-type orbitals (ETO'S), the B functions [E. Filter and E.O. Steinborn, Phys. Rev. A 18, 1 (1978)] are examined. B functions span the space of ETO'S. The commonly occurring ETO'S can be expressed in terms of simple finite sums of B functions. Hence, molecular integrals for other ETO'S, like the more common Slater-type orbitals, may be found as finite linear combinations of integrals with B functions. The main advantage of B functions is the simplicity of their Fourier transform that makes the derivation of relatively simple general formulas for molecular integrals with the Fourier transform method possible. The integrand of the integral representation mentioned above shows sharp peaks causing, in the case of highly asymmetric charge distributions, slow convergence of the quadrature method used by Grotendorst and Steinborn. New quadrature schemes are presented that use quadrature rules based on Möbius transformations. These rules are well suited for the numerical quadrature of functions that possess a sharp peak at or near a single boundary of integration [H.H.H. Homeier and E.O. Steinborn, J. Comput. Phys., 87, 61 (1990)]. Numerical results are presented that illustrate the fact that convergence of the new quadrature schemes is about a factor two faster in case of highly asymmetric charge distributions.

    Notes: A theoretical model based on physical, chemical, and biochemical mechanisms has been presented to evaluate the yields of DNA strand breaks (single and double) as a function of linear energy transfer (LET) or -dE/dx. Energetic heavy charged particles are considered explicitly to provide a general theory for low- as well as for high-LET radiation. There are three main features of the calculation: (a) track structure considerations for the energy deposition pattern, (b) three-dimensional structure of DNA molecules to provide information on the exact location of damage, and (c) a Monte-Carlo scheme to simulate the diffusion processes of water radicals. To avoid the complexities of a cellular medium, an aqueous solution of DNA is considered in the calculation. When the results of the calculations are compared with experimental measurements of the yields of strand breaks in mammalian DNA (exposed in a cellular complex), reasonable agreement is obtained. However, only those experimental data have been compared where there were no enzyme repair processes. The method of calculation has also been extended to study breaks in higher-order structures of DNA molecules such as chromatin. Specific limitations of the present model have been pointed out for making further improvements.

    Notes: Electronic aspects of the catalytic mechanism of liver alcohol dehydrogenase (LADH) are studied with the help of ab initio analytical gradient SCF MO methods. Three points are considered: (i) role of the catalytic zinc; (ii) geometry and electronic structure of the transition state for the hydride transfer reactions; and (iii) factors affecting the energy gap for the hydride transfer step, namely, substrate binding to zinc, reaction field, and serine 48 effects on the potential energy profile. The coordination sphere of the catalytic zinc has been modeled with an ammonia molecule and two SH- groups; complexes with CH3O-, CH3OH, and CH2O have been studied; a (6, 2, 2, 2, 1/6, 2, 1/3, 2) basis set has been used for Zn++; a (5, 2, 1, 1/3, 2) was used for oxygen, carbon, and sulfur; and a (3, 1) was used for hydrogen atoms. The hydride step was studied with two model systems: pyridinium cation/1,4-dihydropyridine coupled to the CH3O-/CH2O reaction, and cyclopropenyl cation/cyclopropene coupled to the CH3O-/CH2O system. For the latter, the role of Ser48 has been studied at the supermolecule level. The calculation on the hydride transfer step has been done at a 4-31G basis set level. The results obtained shed new light on the sources of catalytic activity of liver alcohol dehydrogenases.

    Notes: We present a treatment of chemisorption that uses the Green matrix of the surface and the admolecule, as well as a cluster calculation of a small surface cluster. Since full HF-SCF-band structures with nonlocal exchange are available now for larger systems for a couple of years, it is possible to treat the substrate surface and the admolecule on equal footing. This offers a natural way to solve the embedding problem. We have applied the formalism to the adsorption of H2 on beryllium and show that in contrast to cluster calculations there appears a binding, which is experimentally verified.

    Notes: The electronic absorption spectra of 2-, 3-, and 4-vinylpyridines and 1,2-(2,3-dipyridyl), 1,2-(2,4-dipyridyl), 1,2-(3,4-dipyridyl), and 1,2-(4,4-dipyridyl) ethylenes have been investigated in polar and nonpolar solvents. A correlation has been made between the geometry of the molecule and the observed spectrum. Molecular orbital calculations have been carried out using the INDO/S—CI procedure and a limited geometry optimization. The solvent effect at the MO level has been calculated. MO calculations predicted the existence of nπ* transitions that were not observed experimentally. The wave functions of the different CI states were calculated. The experimental transition energy as well as oscillator strength corresponded satisfactorily with the calculated ones. The observed transitions were assigned according to the results of MO calculations.

    Notes: From the speculations of G. N. Lewis in 1916, [J. Am. Chem. Soc. 38, 762 (1916)], the spectral predictions of R.S. Mulliken [Nature 122, 505 (1928)], and the quantum mechanical treatment by E. Hückel [Z. Phys. 60, 423 (1930)], the three lowest states of molecular oxygen (3Σg-, 1Δg, and 1Σg+) remained spectroscopic elusives until Gerhard and Lisa Herzberg [G. Herzberg, Nature 133, 759 (1934); L. Herzberg and G. Herzberg, Astrophys. J. 105, 353 (1947); G. Herzberg and L. Herzberg, Astrophys. J. 108, 167 (1948)], precisely defined them by observed infared transitions. The excited singlets remained of interest mainly to atmospheric spectroscopists and astrophysicists, and research on these species was scarce. The discovery in 1963 by A.U. Khan and M. Kasha [J. Chem. Phys. 39, 2105 (1963)] of the simple chemical production of singlet molecular oxygens by the aqueous reaction of hydrogen peroxide and hypochlorite released an explosion of research on the neglected species. Fifteen research symposia and research treatises confirm the broad range of chemical activities of singlet oxygen. The extension to biological systems is now proceeding, with surprising evidence of involvement of natural processes, including the action of singlet oxygen in white blood cell phagocytosis.

    Notes: We propose 10 desirable features or criteria for general purpose methods to be applied to the calculation of a range of spectroscopic properties. We discuss the second-order polarization propagator approximation (SOPPA) in light of these criteria by giving the actual computational expression used as well as a few numerical examples taken from the theory of NMR spectra (magnetic shieldings and spin-spin coupling constants). We demonstrate that SOPPA comes close to fulfilling these criteria.

    Notes: A method for analyzing asymmetric top rovibrational bands displaying both blended and resolved features is described. The two-phase computational procedure uses a modified version of the asymmetric rotor-band contour program FASTPLOT to generate a preliminary set of upperstate spectroscopic constants. The parameters are subsequently refined by employing the assigned line-fitting formalism of the ASYROT program using both resolved and blended features. The technique is detailed in a comprehensive analysis of the ν17 band of pyridine. Inclusion of quartic centrifugal distortion constants was found to satisfactorily model a high-resolution (0.004 cm-1) spectrum of this band, yielding a standard deviation of 0.00137 cm-1. The variation in the rotational parameters with vibrational quantum number is examined in terms of possible weak rovibrational perturbations to the ν17 state. An ab initio calculation of the ν17/ν27 Coriolis coupling constant indicates the observed results are consistent with the interaction of these two vibrational states.

    Notes: An original procedure has been developed to determine the eigenvalues and the eigenfunctions of quantum-mechanical many-body systems with a harmonic oscillator interaction. Exact solutions in the explicit form have been obtained for the case of systems containing three groups of identical particles. For the system containing two groups of identical particles, a solution in the adiabatic approximation has been obtained and compared with the exact one.

    Notes: The excitation and ionization spectra of RuO4 and OsO4 are studied theoretically by the symmetry-adapted cluster (SAC) and SAC-CI theories. This is the attempt to assign whole of the spectra by ab initio calculations including electron correlations. In the ground state, electron correlations work to reduce the polarity of the M-O bond overestimated in the Hartree-Fock calculation. The Os-O bond is stronger than is the Ru-O bond, which is reflected in the differences of the excitation and ionization spectra of RuO4 and OsO4. The excitation energies of the experimental spectra are well reproduced by the SAC-CI theory, though the calculated intensities of some peaks are very small in comparison with the experiments. The outer-valence ionization spectra calculated by the SAC-CI theory agree well with the experimental photoelectron spectra. Some shake-up peaks that are accompanied with an electron-transfers from oxygen to metal are also calculated.

    Notes: An exact, within the Born-Oppenheimer approximation, body-fixed Hamiltonian for the nuclear motions of a triatomic system is presented. This Hamiltonian is expressed in terms of two arbitrarily defined internal distances and the angle between them. The body-fixed axis system is related to these coordinates in a general fashion. Problems with singularities and the domain of the Hamiltonian are discussed using specific examples of axis embedding. A number of commonly used coordinate systems including Jacobi, bond-length-bond-angle, and Radau coordinates are special cases of this Hamiltonian. Sample calculations on the H2S molecule are presented using all these and other coordinate systems. The possibility of using this Hamiltonian for reactive scattering calculations is also discussed.

    Notes: A very simple modification of the usual (∼N4) SCF procedure is proposed, permitting the exclusion of basis set superposition errors (BSSE) in problems of intermolecular interactions. No a posteriori corrections are required. The results of this “CHA/F method” are numerically close to those of the Boys-Bernardi correction scheme but are free from the “overcompensation” characteristic of the latter at smaller distances.

    Notes: The singly excited functions satisfying Brillouin theorem are expressed as linear combinations of configuration-state functions for any spin and spatial symmetries (atomic or molecular) and for any reference wave function. The generality of the formulation is ensured by the use of the irreducible tensor method that can be adapted to any symmetry point group of interest. The expansion coefficients are simply written as products of fractional parentage coefficients, spin- and orbit-recoupling coefficients, and phase factors. The formalism is illustrated for some atomic (Kh) and molecular (C∞v, C3v, and Td) configurations. Group theoretical techniques are also used to correlate the Brillouin conditions within a chain of groups.

    Notes: A model for catecholamine storage in vesicles is analyzed within the SCRF-CNDO/2 approach including continuum solvent effects. The model considers the approach of cationic norepinephrine (NE) to a positively charged guanidinium moiety. Ion-pair formation is found for the whole range of dielectric constants. Even though stable states of H-bonded partners are found for large dielectric constants, this process is ruled out to occur because it involves too high energies. It appears that the medium's polarity is determinant in lowering the energy barrier between the ion-pair complex and the separated partners. Thus, as the medium dielectric constant increases, the equilibrium between the two states is enhanced.

    Notes: We present a general method of implementing the kinetic balance condition within the Dirac-Fock (DF) self-consistent field (SCF) formalism for closed-shell molecular structure. We review the steps leading to the derivation of DF SCF equations for closed-shell molecules, particularly as formulated by Matsuoka et al. In the present approach, the large component of the molecular spinors are expanded in terms of atomic basis spinors of spherical-type Gaussian functions, with the small component related to the large component by the kinetic balance condition. It is shown that imposing the kinetic balance condition on geometric Gaussian-type basis functions allows us to obtain the Fock matrix elements, involving both the large and the small components, form the standard nonrelativistic Cartesian-type matrix elements. By using properties of orthogonal polynomials, the solid spherical harmonics are expressed in Cartesian form, thus providing a general basis for transformation of one- and two-electron-matrix elements, obtained from a Cartesian Gaussian-type basis, to a spherical Gaussian-type basis. The advantages of using kinetically balanced geometric Gaussian-type basis functions in molecular DF calculations including finite-size nucleus effects are emphasized. For the sake of completeness, we have added in an appendix corrections to the nuclear attraction matrix elements for the finite-size nucleus already derived by Matsuoka.

    Notes: Recently we extended our strategy for MRD-CI (multireference double excitation-configuration interaction) calculations, based on localized/local orbitals and an “effective” CI Hamiltonian, for molecular decompositions of large molecules to breaking a chemical bond in a molecule in a crystalline or other solid environment.Our technique begins with an explicit quantum chemical SCF calculation for a reference molecule surrounded by a number of other molecules in the multipole environment of more distant neighbors. The resulting canonical molecular orbitals are then localized, and the localized occupied and virtual orbitals in the region of interest are included explicitly in the MRD-CI with the remainder of the occupied localized orbitals being folded into an “effective” CI Hamiltonian. The MRD-CI calculations are then carried out for breaking a bond in the reference molecule. This method is completely general in that the space treated explicitly, as well as the surrounding space, may contain voids, defects, deformations, dislocations, impurities, dopants, edges and surfaces, boundaries, etc.Dimethylnitramine is the smallest prototype of the energetic R2N - NO2 nitramines, such as the 6-member ring RDX or the 8-member ring HMX. Decomposition of energetic compounds is initiated in the solid by a breaking of the target bond. Thus, it is crucial to know the difference in energy between breaking a bond in an isolated energetic molecule versus in the molecule in a solid. In the present study, we have carried out MRD-CI calculations for the Me2N - NO2 dissociation of dimethylnitramine in a dimethylnitramine crystal. The cases we investigated were one dimethylnitramine molecule (surrounded by 53 and 685 neighboring dimethylnitramine molecules represented by multipoles), three dimethylnitramine molecules, and three dimethylnitramine molecules (surrounded by 683 neighbors). All multipoles were cumulative atomic multipoles up through quadrupoles. The MRD-CI calculations on dimethylnitramine required large numbers of reference configurations from which were allowed all single and double excitations.

    Notes: The frequency-dependent dipole polarizability, α(E), is calculated using the second-order polarization propagator approximation (SOPPA). We have shown how to express α(E) as a function of E2 and thus obtained a form of α(E) that can be used to compute C6-coefficients without invoking complex arithmetic. For He we find that SOPPA recovers a large fraction of the correlation contribution for all frequencies, whereas for H2 where the correlation contributions are much smaller and also basis set-dependent, we find a less definite trend of SOPPA relative to RPA.

    Notes: The usefulness of the MS-Xα method for calculating molecular transition properties is investigated in a study of NO2. Two-dimensional potential surfaces are obtained in C2v symmetry for the X̃2A1/Ã2B2 system. Potential curves that approximately follow the asymmetric stretch coordinate are also presented: On investigation, no symmetry-broken solutions were found. At all nuclear geometries investigated, the muffin-tin sphere radii were chosen by an energy-minimization technique. The inclusion of corrections to the muffin-tin form of the Xα total energy is shown to be essential, if the computed surfaces are to be qualitatively correct. The transition dipole moment connecting the two states is evaluated as a function of nuclear coordinates, using the transition-state approximation. Finally, the radiative decay of a single vibronic level in NO2 is modeled and the relevance to experiment is discussed.

    Notes: Nonempirical quantum chemical method Hartree-Fock-Roothan LCAO SCF MO in a two-exponent Dunning basis with the use of an extended set of Gaussian functions by Huzinaga-Dunning with consideration of electron correlation according to the Meller-Plesset theory of excitations of the second order was used to study monohydrates of Li+, Na+, K+, and HCOO- ions. The indicated basis was supplemented with polarization functions of d-type on the O atom and of p-type on the hydrogen atom as well as with diffusion functions of p-type on the oxygen atom. It has been found that binding energies of the water molecule with Li+, Na+ appeared to be higher and with K+ lower than with HCOO- · H2O. Potential curve shapes of K+ + H2O and HCOO- + H2O reactions are shown to be similar. The molecular mechanism of K+ channel selectivity of an excitable membrane is explained on the basis of the obtained calculations.

    Notes: In flow tube studies of the quenching of O2(b1Σg+), broad band emission of O2(b):M collision complexes was found to appear under the discrete rotational lines of the 0-0 band of the b1Σg+ → a1Δg electric quadrupole transition at higher oxygen pressures and on addition of foreign gases. Bimolecular rate constants for the collision-induced emission processes have been derived from the ratio of the intensities of the discrete lines and the continuum as well as from low-resolution measurements of the relative intensities of the b → a and b → X bands as a function of O2 and added gas pressure. They range from ≈10-21 cm3 s-1 for He to ≈4 × 10-19 cm3 s-1 for PCl3 vapor.

    Notes: We present a model system for the study of curve-crossing situations in diatomic molecules. All model parameters are determined by the potential energy topology. No coupling functions are fitted. The standard approximation schemes (Born-Oppenheimer approximation, adiabatic approximation, and the generator coordinate approximation) are then applied. The result of these numerical experiments suggest that the generator coordinate approximation is able to remove 80%-90% of the nonadiabatic effect on all levels throughout the crossing region.

    Notes: An expression for the product of a single-cycle class [(1)N - P(p)]N and an arbitrary class [(1)l1(2)l … (N)lN]N of the symmetric group has recently been conjectured. This expression involves a sum over a relatively small number of reduced class sums, depending on p indices. A further conjecture is formulated and demonstrated, according to which reduced class coefficients (RCCS) involving cycles whose length is expressed by means of a single index can be related to corresponding coefficients in the product of [(1)N - P+1(p - 1)]N with an arbitrary class sum. Consequently, the problem of evaluating the general class sum product reduces to that of obtaining a relatively small set of fundamental RCCS containing no single-index cycles. The conjectures mentioned can be used to evaluate the product [(1)N - p(p)]N · [(1)N - q(q)]N in terms of fundamental RCCS that can all be obtained from the product [(r)]r · [(r)]r, where r = min(p, q). For the latter product, we use a result due to Boccara.

    Notes: Coherent dynamics of multilevel systems is of interest for the elucidation of energy disposal and multiphoton chemistry of polyatomic molecules. We compare the analytical solutions for coherent multiphoton excitation of two sparse multilevel model systems: (1) The spin-J system consisting of N = (2J + 1) equally spaced levels with the radiative coupling being determined by the xth component of the angular momentum. (2) The equally coupled N level system. The transition amplitudes for system (1) are always periodic, which is in contrast to the nonperiodic behavior exhibited by system (2) for N 〉 3.

    Notes: A formulation is presented of the effects of van der Waals interaction on infrared intensities. The theory takes account of induction and dispersion interactions (including charge interpenetration) and is applicable to fluids of arbitrary density. The transition moments are developed from generalized van der Waals-induced moments, and expressions are obtained for the adsorption coefficient in terms of generalized charge densities and charge-density (hyper)susceptibilities. Explicit expressions are given also of the integrated absorption coefficient in terms of multipoles, and (hyper)polarizabilities and their derivates, and the usefulness of this formulationin interpreting experimental data is illustrated by several examples. The relevance of the induction and dispersion interactions to allowed and to forbidden transitions made allowed is discussed.
