    Notes: -An efficient diastereoselective multi-step synthesis of bicyclic 1β-methylcarbapenem antibiotic precursors has been developed, starting from the commercially available 4-acetoxyazetidin-2-one 4. Chiral ruthenium catalysts are used in the hydrogenation step to control the β-stereochemistry at the 1-position, and a π-allylpalladium ring-closure strategy is used to form the functionalized carbapenem skeleton.

    Notes: The enantioselectivity exerted by a new series of chiral catalysts containing N,O-heterocycles of different sizes has been checked in the addition of diethylzinc to benzaldehyde, which was used as a model reaction. The catalysts were derived from natural amino acids, following a relatively simple procedure, and in several cases excellent ee values were obtained. The results were complementary since ee's ranged from 98% (R) to 94% (S) excesses of the final 1-phenylpropan-1-ol. Molecular mechanics calculations suggested that the production of the R alcohol may be explained by a mechanism similar to that described by Noyori, in which ZnEt2 interacts solely with the N-C-C-OH fragment, whereas the formation of the S enantiomer needed the direct participation of the lateral chain of the parent amino acid and the N,O-heterocycle.

    Notes: -Cerium(III) chloride heptahydrate in the presence of sodium iodide catalyses the Michael addition of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds to α,β-unsaturated ketones and α,β-unsaturated aldehydes with extraordinary efficiency. The very mild conditions allow high chemoselectivity as shown by the absence of the typical side reactions, which can be observed in the conventional base-catalyzed processes. More interestingly, when at least one of the starting materials is liquid at room temperature, the reaction can also be performed without solvents. The CeCl3· 7 H2O/NaI catalyst system can be easily separated from the reaction mixture and it can be reused without an appreciable loss of activity. Advantages of the present procedure, which utilizes cheap and “friendly” reagents, over the previously reported ones, are discussed.

    Notes: -Heterofunctionalised allylic ethers 1, silanes 5, and amines 9 are hydroformylated in the presence of primary or secondary amines 2 to form the corresponding γ-amino- and δ-amino-functionalised compounds. The rhodium(I)-catalysed reaction sequence proceeds by aldehyde formation and subsequent reductive amination to generate the corresponding functionalised secondary or tertiary amines. This selective one-pot hydroaminomethylation procedure establishes access to γ-amino- and δ-amino-functionalised ethers, amines or silanes with potential biological activity.

    Notes: γ-Butyrolactones were obtained in good yields and high regioselectivity by a Baeyer-Villiger oxidation with H2O2 catalysed by methyltrioxorhenium. The lactonization was chemoselective in the presence of double bonds, aromatic rings, and chlorine substituents. A trimethylsiloxy-substituted ketone was converted directly into a hydroxylated lactone in good yield and regioselectively.

    Notes: Starting from simple amino acid esters and Merrifield resins, a small library of polymer-bound chiral-β-amino alcohols can be prepared. By reaction with LiALH4 the corresponding chiral reducing agents are obtained, having structural variations at both the α and β positions. All supported reagents are able to reduce acetophenone to 1-phenylethanol. Enantioselectivity is observed when the steric hindrance in the chiral fragment is increased. Best results are obtained for the supported derivative of α,α-diphenyl phenylalaninol.

    Notes: The transfer of hydrogen from excess 9,10-dihydroanthracene (DHA) to acceptors such as α-methylstyrene is catalyzed, i.e. occurs at temperatures in the range 200-260 °C instead of 280-320 °C, when hydrocarbons with weaker C-H bonds than DHA, e.g. 6H-benzo[cd]pyrene (4), 7H-dibenzo[a,kl]anthracene (5), 4-methyl-7H-benzo[de]naphthacene (6) or 8H-dibenzo[b,fg]pyrene (7), are added to the reaction mixture. The reactions are initiated by bimolecular H-atom transfer from 4-7 to the acceptor (retrodisproportionation) and proceed by nonchain radical mechanisms. This is supported by isotopic labelling and kinetic isotope effects, substituent and solvent effects, EPR spectroscopy of intermediate radicals, and by a comparison of the thermochemical and kinetic characteristics of these reactions.

    Notes: We report on the first example of a transition metal-catalyzed cyclization reaction of a Fischer carbene complex. It comprises the generation of vinyl- and divinyl cyclopentadienes under exceedingly mild conditions at 20 °C by condensation of (1-amino-1,3-butadien-2-yl)carbene complexes (= cross-conjugated metallahexatrienes) (CO)5M=C(OEt)C(=CHNR2)CR1=CHR23 (M = Cr, W) with alkynes R3C≡CH 4 (R3 = Ph, cyclohex-1-enyl, isopropenyl, methoxymethyl, 1-trimethylsiloxycyclohex-1-yl) in the presence of catalytic amounts of [(COD)RhCl]2. The starting compounds 3 are accessible in high yields by addition of enamines (E)-R2NCH=CHR22 to (1-alkynyl)carbene complexes (CO)5M=C(OEt)C≡CR11 (M = Cr, W; R1 = Ph, cyclohex-1-enyl).

    Notes: A series of MnIII porphyrins progressively halogenated in the β-pyrrolic positions was employed to catalyse the epoxidation of cis-stilbene by iodosylbenzene, and to study the role of the electronic effects on the stereoselectivity of this process. A gradual improvement in the stereoselectivity on increasing the number of β-halogen atoms was observed. The role of steric effects upon the epoxidation was also investigated by placing ortho-substituents in the meso-phenyl rings, and it was found that steric effects are more important than electronic effects toward the stereoselectivity of this process. These results can be rationalised by proposing a competition between a nonstereoselective electrophilic pathway of addition and a stereospecific pathway of oxygen insertion, the former being disfavoured by electron-withdrawing substituents. Alternatively, the formation of an open intermediate between the MnV oxene and the substrate could be suggested, where the stereoselectivity ought to be determined by the competition between closure of the epoxide ring and rotation around the C-C bond. In this case, the enhanced stereoselectivity given by our polyhalogenated porphyrins might be attributed to an acceleration of the epoxide ring closure caused by the electron-withdrawing effect of the halogen substituents.

    Notes: The potential of using indigenous microorganisms in beach sediments to degrade petroleum hydrocarbons emanating from marine oil spillages in the Straits of Singapore was investigated. A field trial was conducted using oil contaminated beach sediments from Pulau Semakau - a small island 15 km south of Singapore. The results clearly show that the addition of inorganic nutrients to beach sediments significantly enhanced the activity of indigenous microorganisms (measured using the dehydrogenase enzyme assay and viable cell count techniques), as well as the removal of total recoverable petroleum hydrocarbons (TRPH) over a 50-day study period (with up to 44% in the case of nutrient addition). The potential of exploiting in-situ bioremediation techniques for oil spill clean-up operations in tropical marine environments is discussed.

    Notes: The biosynthesis of bacterial cellulose by Acetobacter xylinum was optimized by numerically finding the maximum of an arbitrarily chosen second order polynomial model function of several variables (describing the dependence of the cellulose production on the concentrations of the medium components), using multivariable linear regression analysis. The chosen function appeared to describe the analyzed correlation sufficiently well. Consequently, three to six stages of optimization made the determination of the optimum medium compositions possible for 16 days of fermentation at 30°C in a medium based on fructose (wt%: fructose, 3.68; yeast extract, 5.02; (NH4)2NO3, 0.001; KH2PO4, 0.3; MgSO4 × 7 H2O, 0.05; resulting in a cellulose production equal to 0.505 wt.% - namely 5.6 times higher than before the optimization) and for 7 days fermentations at 30°C in a medium based on sucrose and ethanol (wt.%: sucrose, 5.0; ethanol, 1.36; yeast extract, 1.27; (NH4)2SO4, 0.5; KH2PO4, 0.3; MgSO4 × 7 H2O, 0.05; resulting in a cellulose production equal to 0.251 wt.% - namely 1.5 times higher than before the optimization).

    Notes: The stability of a polyphenol oxidase (PPO) preparation from the white-rot fungus Trametes versicolor during a process for the enzymatic decrease of the phenolic content of commercial canola meal (CM) was investigated. The effects of temperature, pH, protein origin and concentration, and meal particles were considered. The results showed that the thermal stability of the enzyme preparation was significantly increased in the presence of CM. The half-life times for the enzyme preparation, pre-incubated with CM at 50, 60, 70 and 75°C, were 45, 10.5, 3.5 and 1.5 hours, respectively; this represents an increase in the thermal stability of the enzyme preparation of up to four times in the presence of CM compared to the stability in the absence of CM. This effect was caused by the protective actions of both the CM particles and CM proteins, with the former responsible for 90% of the observed effect. The thermal stability of the enzyme in the presence of CM, from which 20% of the extractable proteins was extracted, was 5% lower compared to the stability in the presence of untreated CM. Changes in pH level from 5.0 to 3.2 resulted in a loss of stability comparable to that observed when the pre-incubation temperature was increased from 50 to 70°C.A semi-empirical model describing the changes in the concentration of the active enzyme pre-incubated in the presence and absence of CM at various incubation temperatures was proposed. A very good agreement between the model and experimental data was obtained. The proposed model, together with a general set of model parameters, can be used as a tool for the optimization of a process for the upgrade of CM by enzymatically decreasing the meal's phenolic content.

    Notes: A non-comprehensive review of several technical developments in the field of aerobic biological waste-water treatment engineering is carried out, considering the active role the engineers have to play in this field. This paper brings together conventional and advanced problems in the field of aerobic biological waste-water treatment.Such an overview of biological waste-water treatment also precedes comments on some important aspects concerning the microorganisms responsible for waste-water treatment as well as considerations of the application of fundamentals and kinetics to the analysis of the biological processes used most commonly for aerobic biological waste-water treatment.A survey of the development of the biological activated-sludge process and some modifications are given. Some problems implied in the conventional activated-sludge waste-water treatment are analyzed, considering conventional processes and bioreactor models (the continuous stirred-tank reactor model and the plug-flow reactor models of the activated-sludge process) as well as aerated lagoons.Further, modifications of the activated-sludge process are presented. These include additional details on the bioreactor progress and applications, with emphasis on aspects concerning airlift bioreactors and their variants, deep-shaft bioreactors and reciprocating jet bioreactors which are considered as the third generation of bioreactors owing to their important advantages in design, operation and performance in waste-water treatment. Sequencing-batch reactors and aerobic digestion processes, including conventional aerobic digestion, high-purity oxygen digestion, thermophilic aerobic digestion and cryophylic aerobic digestion are also reviewed.Finally, some aspects regarding the operational factors that are involved in the selection of the reactor type are included.

    Notes: In the first part of the experiments, the mechanical properties of 1%, 2% and 3% carrageenan and 1%, 2% and 3% carrageenan/locust bean gum (LBG) gels stored in various concentrations of propionic and acetic acids and their mixtures were examined. The stability of these materials was measured by uniaxial compression between two parallel plates using the Instron Universal Testing Machine. A mathematical model explaining the dependence of the destroying force on the storage time was chosen for data analysis. Using this model, the average rate of gel deterioration was calculated. The structural properties of the examined gels were most influenced by the highest concentration of propionic and acetic acids and their mixtures (1% acetic acid and 2% propionic acid). The addition of LBG to carrageenan decreased the gel destroying force and increased its resistance to acids.In the second part of the experiments, the Propionibacterium freudenreichii subsp. shermanii NCFB 1081 and NCFB 566 were immobilized in a living state in 1%, 2% and 3% carrageenan and 1%, 2% and 3% carrageenan/LBG gels. The ammonia consumption, glucose utilization, production of propionic and acetic acids and the biosynthesis of vitamin B12 were examined. An increase in the productivity of propionic acid and a significant decrease in the vitamin B12 produced in the biosynthesis were observed when immobilized cells were used. The immobilization of cells enhanced the productivity of propionic acid by up to 40% compared to free cells. The best results were obtained for the second and third applications of immobilized cells in all concentrations of carrageenan gels and 2% and 3% carrageenan/LBG gels The results showed that carrageenan/LBG is a better support material for the immobilization of propionic acid bacteria than the pure carrageenan.

    Notes: The bioaccumulation of cadmium by the white rot fungus Pleurotus sajor-caju onto dry biomass was investigated using aqueous media with concentrations in the range of 0.125 mM-1.0 mM The highest cadmium uptake (between 88.9 and 91.8%) was observed with aerobic fungal biomass from the exponential growth phase. Up to 1.0 mM cadmium gradually inhibited mycelium development, but never blocked it completely. Freeze-dried, oven-dried and non-metabolizing live Pleurotus sajor-caju biomass types were tested for their capacity to adsorb the test ion Cd2+ within the pH range of 4.5 to 6.0. Freeze-dried biomass proved to be the most efficient biomass type for Cd2+ metal adsorption. Therefore, Pleurotus sajor-caju may be used for heavy metal removal and bioremediation.

    Notes: The kinetics of cellobiose hydrolysis was studied using β-glucosidase from Penicillium funiculosum, both free and immobilized on nylon powder, at different temperatures, pH values, enzymatic activities and initial cellobiose and glucose concentrations.The experimental results were fitted to a kinetic model by considering the substrate and product inhibitions as well as the thermal deactivation of β-glucosidase with a mean deviation of less than 10%. The immobilization of β-glucosidase led to an increase in the stability of the enzyme against changes in the pH value.

    Notes: Ethanol has been reported to be a gaseous pollutant, originating from the agricultural industry. Interest in its biodegradation has increased over the last two decades. Most of the current studies have focused on its elimination by mixed cultures. This study is part of a broader project intended to utilize Candida utilis strains for gaseous ethanol elimination and to eventually bioconvert them into biomass and/or volatile metabolites. We present here the study of six strains (one from the ATCC and five from the ICIDCA collection) cultivated in a liquid medium, with initial ethanol concentrations of 16 g/l and 32 g/l. At 16 g/l, a maximum ethanol elimination rate of 0.13 g/l × h was obtained in four of the six strains (ATCC 9950, L/375-1, L/375-5 and L/375-10). This rate increased to 0.21 g/l × h with an initial ethanol concentration of 32 g/l. The L/375-5 strain was the best biomass producer (3.3 g/l) at 32 g/l, while the highest ethyl acetate production (0.80 g/l) was obtained with the L/375-1 strain. The L/375-25 and L/375-26 strains which showed very low ethyl acetate production were, by way of contrast, efficient acetaldehyde producers, with 0.54 g/l and 0.66 g/l measured in the broth. While biomass production reached its maximum after two days of culture, the production of acetic acid and ethyl acetate continued during the third day. The results for biomass and metabolite production obtained with the ICIDCA collection strains (L/375-1, L/375-5 and L/375-10) were better than those obtained with the ATCC 9950 strain, although the latter often has been reported to be particularly suitable for metabolite production.

    Notes: The ability of the Rhizobium sp., isolated from the root nodules of the leguminous pulse yielding shrub Cajanus cajan, to produce extracellular polysaccharides (EPS) was checked. A large amount of EPS (1, 128 μg/ml) was produced by the bacteria in yeast extract mannitol medium. Growth and EPS production started simultaneously, but the production reached its maximum level in the stationary phase of growth at 28 h. The EPS production by this Rhizobium sp. was much higher than by many other strains from nodules of Cajanus cajan which took a much longer time to reach maximum EPS production than this strain. The maximum EPS production (2,561 μg/ml) was obtained when the medium was supplemented with mannitol (1%), cetyl pyridinium chloride (2 μg/ml) and KNO3 (0.2%), in which the production was increased by 276% compared to the control. The EPS production rose in the period up to 65 h with increased mannitol concentration. The EPS contained arabinose, xylose and rhamnose monomers. The possible role of rhizobial EPS production in root nodule symbiosis is discussed.

    Notes: The Rhizobium sp., isolated from the root nodules of the leguminous fodder herb Melilotus alba, produced large amounts of extracellular polysaccharides (EPS) (963.5 μg/ml) in a yeast extract mannitol medium. Growth and EPS production started simultaneously, but EPS production reached its maximum during the stationary phase of growth of the bacteria, at 20 hours. EPS production was increased with all of the thirteen sugars tested. Different nitrogen sources, such as nitrates, glutamic acid, casamino acid and L-asparagine, increased the EPS production although it was inhibited by glycine, nitrite and ammonium salts. Among the vitamins and metal ions, only pyridoxal phosphate and ZnSO4 promoted EPS production. Attempts were made to optimize the cultural requirements for growth and maximum EPS production. Maximum EPS production (1457.0 μg/ml) was obtained when the medium was supplemented with glucose (1%), pyridoxal phosphate (2 μ g/ml), ZnSO4 × 7 H2O (10 μg/ml) and glutamic acid (0.1%). Under these conditions, the production was increased by 254.3% compared to the control. The EPS contained arabinose, xylose and rhamnose monomers. The presence of arabinose and xylose in the EPS produced by a Rhizobium sp. was uncommon.

    Notes: In the present work, the use of flame-burned WS as carriers of Z. mobilis and extracellular levansucrase and the effect of the cell fixation method by dehydration on system productivity were investigated. Lyophilization and convective drying of Z. mobilis biomass at 30°C to a moisture content of 10-14% gave the best results for the repeated batch fermentations of a sucrose medium to obtain levan and ethanol. Significant correlation between the product formation and the concentration of free cells in the fermentation medium was established. Clearly, the cells were weakly bound to the newly generated WS and were washed out into the medium during fermentation. Here the hypothesis is presented that components excreted from damaged cells during dehydration can intensify the reactivation of damaged living cells and influence the interactions between the cells and the wire surface.The passive immobilization of extracellular levansucrase in oxidized WS was also observed. The superiority of oxidized WS in comparison with non-treated WS is related to an increase in the number of OH groups. The potential regeneration of WS by burning after the termination of fermentation cycles was also considered.

    Notes: A xylanase was removed from crude extract of the fungus Penicillium janthinellum under optimized conditions: 0.10M phosphate buffer, pH 7.0, 0.2 M BDBAC (N-benzyl-N-dodeceyl-N-bis (2-hydroxyethyl) ammonium chloride), 7.5% hexanole, 30°C and an agitation time of 1 minute. At 1.42 mg per ml protein concentration, 73% of the xylanase activity was recovered and a 7-fold enrichment factor was obtained. The enzyme had a molecular weight (MW) of 20.1 kDa and the isoelectric point (PI) revealed the presence of two protein bands with a PI of 6.0 and 6.5. The optimum pH and optimum temperature were 4.2 and 50°C, respectively. The low pH differential between the aqueous medium and the protein PI seemed to influence the xylanase transportation into the reversed micelles.

    Notes: The morphogenetic response of Hypericum perforatum seedlings to different auxin and cytokinin concentrations was studied. A stimulation of the concentration-dependent rooting ability was observed under the influence of indole-3-acetic acid and indole-3-butyric acid. Rooting was not enhanced by the effects of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and 1-naphtaleneacetic acid. Differentiated roots were isolated and cultured in liquid media with the same combination of growth-promoting auxins. Chromosome counts in root tip cells after long-term cultivation indicated a high degree of chromosomal instability. Multiple shoot formation occurred under the influence of 6-benzylaminopurine and kinetin. Adenine and 6-(γ,γ-dimethylallylamino)-purine did not stimulate shoot differentiation. No differences in the morphogenetic response to auxins and cytokinis were detected between diploid and tetrapoloid plants.

    Notes: Spores of Aspergillus niger were exposed to a pulsed electric field. After treatment by the electric field, the viability of the conidia of A. niger varied depending on the field strength, pulse width and frequency. In all cases, these parameters reduced the viability rate of the conidia from 2.0 × 107 to a range from 6.2 × 106 to 8.5 × 106 spores/ml (3.1 to 42.6%). After pulse treatment, the conidia were used as the inoculum for citric acid fermentation in shake flasks. The highest increase in citric acid yield (about 1.4-fold) was reached at a field strength of 2.85 kV/cm, a frequency of 1 Hz and a pulse width of 1 ms. When the parameters of the electric field increased there were important changes in the respiration rate of the Aspergillus niger mycelium (48-h-old) after electric shock treatment. The highest consumption of dissolved oxygen (22.9%) in the medium by Aspergillus niger mycelium was observed at an electric field strength of 2.85 kV/cm, a 1 Hz frequency, a pulse width of 1 ms and a 1-min exposure period. It seems that an electric-field stimulation of the conidia prior to inoculation may offer an important method of improving the efficiency of citric acid. The treatment of the conidia is both simple from the technical point of view and extremely rapid.

    Notes: The effects of adding some inducers of lignolytic activity to semi-solid-state cultures of Phanerochaete chrysosporium BKM-F-1767 (ATCC 24725) were investigated. The inducers assayed were veratryl alcohol and solid manganese (IV) oxide. The microorganism was cultured on corncob, which functioned both as physical support and source of nutrients.Supplementing the cultures with veratryl alcohol created the situation where manganese-dependent peroxidase (MnP) and lignin peroxidase (LiP) activities of approximately 1,500 U/l and 200 U/l, respectively, could be attained. These activities were considerably higher than those obtained in the reference cultures (about 5 and 4-fold).In the same way, the addition of manganese (IV) oxide led to MnP and LiP activity levels of about 2,000 U/l and 300 U/l, respectively. These activities were also notably above (about 6 and 5-fold, respectively) those achieved in the reference cultures.Moreover, laccase activity (around 200 U/l) was only detected in veratryl alcohol or manganese (IV) oxide supplemented cultures.

    Notes: The culture behaviour of Thermus aquaticus was characterized. The response of the bacterium to various carbon (tryptone, glucose, glycerol) and nitrogen sources (yeast extract, NaNO3, (NH4)2SO4, leucine, thymine, thiamine, glutamic acid) was studied. Amino acids did not support growth, but CASTENHOLZ salt medium supplemented with yeast extract and glucose or tryptone resulted in good growth and production. A suitable medium composition giving the highest biomass concentration and enzyme yield was developed. The simple medium containing TYE-NaCl resulted in the highest biomass concentration, whereas CASTENHOLZ mineral medium supplemented with tryptone and yeast extract gave the highest specific activity and enzyme yield. The effect of inoculum age and size on growth was also investigated in order to improve the yield and process consistency. The use of shake flasks inoculated with precultures at their early or late stationary phase resulted in the same biomass concentration (0.56 ± 0.015 g/l) and similar maximum specific growth rates (0.258 ± 0.003 h-1). Inoculum sizes between 1 and 2.5 per cent were optimal for cell growth. As the other papers on thermophilic microorganisms, including the T. aquaticus YT-1 strain, gave qualitative information on growth, the results presented here cannot be compared with others on a quantitative basis. TaqI endonuclease was purified using a 5 step protocol including cell disruption, adsorption, precipitation, column chromatography and final dialysis. The enriched fraction had a specific activity of 33,600 U TaqI endonuclease per mg protein.

    Notes: Methylobacterium rhodesianum MB 126, a pink-pigmented facultatively methylotrophic bacterium that uses that serine pathway for the assimilation of reduced C1 compounds, is able to produce poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) under certain limitation conditions. Mutants of this bacterium, which were isolated after the treatment with sodium nitrite, are impaired in their ability to synthesize PHB, but produce another polymer in addition to PHB, namely an exopolysaccharide (EPS). This paper attempts to explain this surprising behaviour.

    Notes: Agar-agar, agarose, carrageenan and calcium alginate were used for the immobilization of Dunaliella salina cells. Out of the four, agar-agar was found to be the most effective and therefore the study was carried out on it using different pH values ranging from 6 to 10 and cell densities from 0.1 to 0.8 μg chlorophyll (chl, a) per bead to find which are is best suited for glycerol production. The maximum glycerol production of 9.2 μM/mg chl a was recorded in agar-agar immobilized algae and this was followed by 8.4 μM/mg chl a in calcium alginate. The maximum cell number 6.2 × 109/ml and the specific growth rate (μ) of 0.80 l/day were reached at pH 8 in agar-agar immobilized algae. It was shown that the maximum amount of glycerol was produced when the cell density was 0.8 μg chl a/ block. Changing the medium after 24 hours affected the rate of glycerol production at different pH values. Using a cell density of 0.8 μg chl a/block at 16 W/m2 light intensity increased the glycerol production in comparison with the use of free living cells.

    Notes: A new low-cost β-galactosidase (lactase) preparation for whey permeate saccharification was developed and characterized. A biocatalyst with a lactase activity of 10 U/mg, a low transgalactosylase activity and a protein content of 0.22 mg protein/mg was obtained from a fermenter culture of the fungus Penicillium notatum. Factors influencing the enzymatic hydrolysis of lactose, such as reaction time, pH, temperature and enzyme and substrate concentration were standardized to maximize sugar yield from whey permeate. Thus, a 98.1% conversion of 5% lactose in whey permeate to sweet (glucose-galactose) syrup was reached in 48 h using 650 β-galactosidase units/g hydrolyzed substrate. After the immobilization of the acid β-galactosidase from Penicillium notatum on silanized porous glass modified by glutaraldehyde binding, more than 90% of the activity was retained. The marked shifts in the pH value (from 4.0 to 5.0) and optimum temperatures (from 50°C to 60°C) of the solid-phase enzyme were observed and discussed. The immobilized preparation showed high catalytic activity and stability at wider pH and temperature ranges than those of the free enzyme, and under the best operating conditions (lactose, 5%; β-galactosidase, 610-650 U/g lactose; pH 5.0; temperature 55°C), a high efficiency of lactose saccharification (84-88%) in whey permeate was achieved when lactolysis was performed both in a batch process and in a recycling packed-bed bioreactor. It seems that the promising results obtained during the assays performed on a laboratory scale make this immobilizate a new and very viable preparation of β-galactosidase for application in the processing of whey and whey permeates.

    Notes: An acid α-amylase hyperproducing strain, designated as MIR-61, was isolated in a screening procedure from South American soil samples. MIR-61, a 60°C thermoresistant strain, was identified using 98 biochemical and morphological tests and characterized as Bacillus licheniformis by numerical taxonomy. Batch cultures of B. licheniformis MIR-61 showed extracellular α-amylase and α-glucosidase activities during the exponential growth phase.The production of α-amylase was studied at free and constant pH values at 37 and 45°C. Maximum α-amylase activity (4,767 kU/dm3 in a liquid medium) was detected at 45°C at a constant pH (7.0) in the late exponential phase. The α-amylase production by B. licheniformis MIR-61 is 10 to 300 times higher than the enzyme production reported in strains of the same species.Optimum α-amylase activity was found at 50 to 67°C in an acid pH range from 5.5 to 6.0. These properties would allow its use in starch industry processes.

    Notes: The continuous aerobic degradation of phenoxyalkanoate herbicides by Sphingomonas herbicidovorans MH was investigated in a bubble reactor filled with modified polyurethane-foam (PU 90/51) as a carrier for the adsorptive immobilization of the bacterial cells. The PU-foam was applied in the form of plates (5 × 10 × 10 mm) and the amount added was equivalent to a PU-load of 1.25% [w/v]. Strain MH is capable of detoxifying the dichloro-substituted phenoxyalkanoates 2,4-DP, 2,4-D and 2,4-DB and the methylchloro-substituted phenoxyalkanoates MCPA, MCPP and MCPB. Degradation of the respective substrate was followed by HPLC analyses and by determination of the chloride release. No intermediates of the degradation pathways or “dead end” products were detected by HPLC analyses. The PU-bubble reactor with immobilized 2,4-DP-pre-grown cells was run continuously at 30°C at the high dilution rate of D = 0.5h-1 with 2,4-DP (0.2 g/l), and with subsequent changes to each of the other phenoxyalkanoates as a single substrate in the feed and with an intermittent return to 2,4-DP. Finally, after an intermediate substrate accumulation, 2,4-D, 2,4-DP, MCPA and MCPP could be degraded under the aforementioned conditions corresponding to a maximum degradation rate of Qphen = 100 mg/l × h. In the case of 2,4-DB, a slightly reduced conversion rate of about 94% could be calculated. In contrast to these results, 0.2 g/l of the more recalcitrant MCPB could not be metabolized at this high dilution rate of D = 0.5 h-1 by the biofilm of Sphingomonas herbicidovorans MH, but it was degradable at a reduced dilution rate of D = 0.25 h-1. Complete detoxification of a stoichiometric mixture of the dichloro- and the methylchloro-substituted phenoxyalkanoates including MCPB, respectively, at a total concentration of 0.2 g/l was achieved at D = 0.25 h-1, corresponding to a degradation rate of Qtot = 50 mg/l × h. Finally, the efficiency of the PU-immobilized cells of Sphingomonas herbicidovorans MH in detoxifying mixtures of all six herbicides could be increased to Qtot = 75 mg/l × h by the further addition of PU-foam particles corresponding to a final PU-load of 2.5% [w/v]. This PU-bubble reactor was successfully operated for more than 12 months to clean up synthetically concocted waste waters with fluctuations in phenoxyalkanoate concentration and composition.

    Notes: The biodesulphurization of Mengen lignite by a mesophilic bacterium, Rhodococcus rhodochrus ATCC 53968, was investigated in a batch stirred and aerated reactor. The experiments were carried out at 28°C with an inoculum percentage, initial pH, initial sodium acetate and lignite concentration of the biodesulphurization medium of 8% [v/v], 6.5 mM, 20 mM and 20 g/l, respectively. Variations in the sulphur contents of the lignite relative to the biodesulphurization period were monitored. The effects of the stirring and aeration rates on the removal of different sulphur forms from coal were investigated in the ranges 450-1,200 rpm and 0.1-0.53 vvm and the optimum values were found to be 500 rpm and 0.18 vvm, respectively. An increase in the total sulphur reduction with increasing biodesulphurization time was observed. The maximum total sulphur removal percentage was found to be 15.2% at 1,200 rpm after four days of incubation. The highest total sulphur removal rate was calculated on the second day of microbial desulphurization for each run. The total and organic sulphur contents of the coal after biodesulphurization were correlated with the stirring and aeration rates by using the non-linear least squares regression method. In the experimental runs lasting 8 days, the highest organic sulphur reducing percentage of 10.1% was obtained at a stirring rate of 500 rpm and an aeration rate of 0.40 vvm.

    Notes: Selected strains of basidiomycetes (Abortiporus biennis, Trametes versicolor and Cerrena unicolor) were shown to produce enhanced extracellular peroxidase (EP), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and laccase activities following the exposure of 10-day-old fungal cultures to separate high and low temperature stress. The stressful conditions also caused an increase in the concentrations of phenol compounds and superoxide anion radicals in these cultures. At first, peroxidase activity was observed at 12 hours from the moment of temperature stress application. Laccase activity appeared at 96 hours after the maximum levels of superoxide anion radicals (48 h) and SOD activity (36-72 h). The concentration of phenolic substances grew steadily during the period of cultivation. These relations between laccase, SOD and EP as well as superoxide radicals and phenol levels in the environment of ligninolytic fungi seems to be important in the course of the biosynthesis or biodegradation of lignin, as the consequence of adaptation of these basidiomycetes to environmental temperature conditions.

    Notes: Comamonas acidovorans MC1, which is capable of degrading the chiral phenoxypropionate herbicides 2-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)propionate [dichlorprop, (RS)-2,4-DP] and 2-(4-chloro-2-methylphenoxy)propionate [mecoprop, (RS)-MCPP] and of degrading the phenoxyacetate herbicides 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetate (2,4-D) and 4-chloro-2-methylphenoxyacetate (MCPA), was investigated with respect to the enzymatic basis of this broad substrate specificity. The initial steps of the degradation pathway of (RS)-2,4-DP and 2,4-D were studied. By applying either ion exchange chromatography or hydrophobic interaction chromatography it was possible to separate two enzyme fractions with etherolytic activity, which exhibited pronounced substrate specificity. One enzyme fraction was highly specific for the degradation of the R-enantiomer of 2,4-DP and did not essentially attack the S-configuration. The other enzyme fraction showed pronounced activity toward the cleavage of the S-enantiomer and additionally utilized 2,4-D with almost equal velocity; (R)-2,4-DP was even cleaved at a low rate by this enzyme. These results confirm the existence of phenoxyalkanoatedegrading enzymes with enantiospecific properties in strain MC1.

    Notes: The population of poly-β-hydroxybutyrate-degrading microorganisms and the biodegradation of PHB in local landfill soils were examined in vitro and in vivo. Forty-two PHB-degraders consisting of 12 bacteria, 25 actinomycetes and 5 moulds were isolated. The total PHB-degraders averaged 4.7 × 107 and 20 × 104 colony forming units (cfu)/g for San Mateo wet and dry soils, respectively, and 2.3 × 107 and 8.5 × 104 cfu/g for Carmona wet and dry samples, respectively. The PHB-degraders formed 0-59% of the total microbial population in San Mateo and 8-42% in Carmona. Complete (100%) degradation of PHB powder was observed for Chryseomonas-27 and Aspergillus-39 on day 5 in shake flask culture and for Streptomyces-4 on day 7. Burial test in landfill soils showed a 90-91% weight loss of PHB film strips within four weeks; the weight loss of polypropylene film strips was up to 0.12% only. Scanning electron micrographs of degraded films revealed the attachment of microbial cells and fungal mycelium and spores on the surfaces. Holes and cavities were also noted due to the microbial degradation processes.

    Notes: The Acinetobacter sp. E11, isolated from Port Dickson Beach, Malaysia, was able to grow in media containing crude oil as the sole carbon and energy source. Substrate specificity studies showed that the bacterium exhibited substrate preference as growth was observed only in media containing aliphatic hydrocarbons, while aromatic and cyclic hydrocarbons inhibited growth. With the aliphatic hydrocarbons, growth was seen only in the long-chain alkanes tested (pentadecane, dodecane and hexadecane). No growth was recorded in the short-chain alkanes (pentane, hexane and heptane) tested. With complex hydrocarbons, only crude oil and 4T SHELL engine oil supported growth. No growth was observed in kerosene and PETRONAS gasoline. The isolate could grow in up to 10% and 20% [v/v] of the crude oil and alkanes tested, respectively. Among the long-chain alkanes tested, hexadecane was the most preferred, followed by pentadecane and dodecane. Nitrogen and phosphorous supplements were essential for growth and the best growth was achieved with 3% nitrogen/phosphorous additions. Microscopic observation revealed that the bacterium adhered to the hexadecane and crude oil droplets. GC analysis showed that the bacterium was able to degrade more than 60% of the hydrocarbons in the crude oil in 15 days at 37°C compared to the uninoculated media.

    Notes: The mineralization of a non-ionic alcohol ethoxylate (AEO) surfactant was investigated over the concentration range occurring in rinsing water from surfactant production processes. For this, an experimental set-up for respirometric batch experiments was developed. The set-up and the method were validated by experiments with glucose as the single carbon source. It was possible to calculate substrate decay from the time course of exogenously consumed oxygen during respirometric batch experiments. The kinetic coefficients calculated by respirometry showed a lower standard deviation than those calculated from emasured glucose concentrations.The degradation mechanism of AEO was investigated by identification of metabolities, occurring during the mineralization process of AEO, using Flow Injection Mass spectrometry (FI-MS). It was concluded that the degradation of AEO occurs in two main steps. First, the enzymatic hydrolysis of AEO into alcohol and polythylene glycol (PEG) is performed. Second, the mineralization of both substances takes place, while the mineralization of the alcohol is faster than that of the PEG. The mineralization kinetics were investigated in respirometric batch experiments. The model used is based on double MONOD kinetics for the substrates being produced by hydrolysis (μmax1 = 0.047 h-1, Ks1 = 15 mg/l DOC for alcohol; μmax2 = 0.027 h-1, KS2 = 4 mg/l DOC for PEG). The validation of the model by calculating the results obtained from measurements in a continuously operated lab scale CSTR with bacteria recycle was successful.

    Notes: An increase in the molar growth yield (YX/S = 14.3-20.3 g/mol) on glucose (25 mM) was achieved after the transition of Zymomonas mobilis ATCC 29191 from anaerobic to aerobic steady state growth at dilution rates of D = 0.31-0.40 1/h and under oxygen-unlimited conditions. The transfer of anaerobically or aerobically grown steady state cells into a fresh medium resulted in the higher values of YX/S. A positive correlation was established between biomass and acetaldehyde yield within the range of 5-9 mM acetaldehyde in the medium. An inhibitory effect of the exogenously added acetaldehyde (Ki = 16.7 ± 2.8 mM) on the ATPase activity was observed in vitro, using cell-free extracts of anaerobically grown Z. mobilis. The results obtained provide evidence that the increased values of biomass yield could be explained by the redirection of ATP usage during aerobic growth of Z. mobilis.

    Notes: Pleurotus sajor-caju (FR.) SINGER was cultivated on different organic wastes, namely sericulture waste, Populus deltoides MARSH, and Eupatorium adenophorum SPRENG. Paddy straw was taken as the control and all the data were compared with it. The mineral contents of the fruiting bodies of Pleurotus sajor-caju and the substrates on which the mushroom was grown were analyzed. Among the eight minerals determined (calcium, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, sodium, iron, manganese and zinc), the potassium content was highest followed by phosphorus, magnesium and sodium. Analysis of the mineral contents of the substrates before cultivation had also been carried out. The mineral contents of the fruiting bodies of Pleurotus sajor-caju were found to be different on different substrates. It was also observed that the mineral contents of the fruiting bodies of Pleurotus sajor-caju increase when cultivated on substrates with higher mineral contents. The maximum mineral contents per 100 g of the substrates before cultivation were Ca - 347 mg; P - 151 mg; K - 1,805 mg; Na - 127 mg; Mg - 227 mg; Fe - 53 mg; Mn - 10 mg and zn - 3.1 mg. The mineral contents of the fruiting bodies of Pleurotus sajor-caju per 100 g ranged as follows: Ca - 25.1 mg to 35.3 mg; P - 448 mg to 602 mg; K - 2,146 mg to 2350 mg; Na - 139 mg to 229 mg; Mg - 153 mg to 224 mg; Fe - 9.74 mg to 20.75 mg; Mn - 2.5 mg to 4.0 mg and Zn - 2.2 mg to 3.1 mg.

    Notes: An alternative microbiological method for the production of malate from fumarate is presented. The yeast Dipodascus magnusii was used for this bioconversion.The optimum cell growth temperature was 28°C and the working volume 120 ml. The highest level of fumarase activity during bioconversion was achieved at a pH of 7.5 and a temperature of 37°C. These conditions were determined as optimal. Using sodium fumarate (1M), the maximum specific productivity of malic acid obtained was 1.72 g/(gDCW × h) for intact cells. In the case of ammonium fumarate, it was 2.25 g/(gDCW × h).

    Notes: The effect of the natural bite angle (βn) of diphosphane ligands on catalyst selectivity and activity in the palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling of sec-butyl magnesium chloride with bromobenzene was investigated. The calculated natural bite angles range from 78° for dppe (1,2-bisdiphenylphosphanoethane) to 110° for Xantphos. The natural bite angle of diphosphane ligands has a large effect on catalyst selectivity and activity. Both rate and selectivity of the cross-coupling reaction increase with increasing bite angle and reach a maximum value with DPEphos (βn = 102.7° ). Larger bite angles of the diphosphane ligands result in a decreased selectivity and activity.

    Notes: Iron(III) tetrasulfophthalocyanine (FePcS) was shown to catalyze the oxidation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons by H2O2. Benzo[a]pyrene and anthracene were converted to the corresponding quinones while biphenyl-2,2′-dicarboxylic acid was the main product of phenanthrene oxidation. The mechanism of the anthracene oxidation by H2O2 in the presence of FePcS or by KHSO5 with iron(III) meso-tetrakis(3,5-disulfonatomesityl)porphyrin (FeTMPS) (see Figure 1 for catalyst structures) has been investigated in details by using kinetic isotope effects (KIEs) and 18O labeling studies. KIEs measured on the substrate consumption in the competitive oxidation of [H10]anthracene and [D10]anthracene by FePcS/H2O2 and FeTMPS/KHSO5 were essentially the same, 0.75 ± 0.02 and 0.76 ± 0.06, respectively. These inverse KIEs on the first oxidation step can be explained by the sp2-to-sp3 hybridization change during the addition of an electrophilic oxoiron complex to the sp2 carbon center of anthracene to form a σ adduct (this inverse KIE being enhanced by stronger stacking interactions between the perdeuterated substrate with the macrocyclic catalyst). Although the first oxidation step seems to be the same, different distribution of the oxidation products of anthracene and very different 18O incorporation into anthrone and anthraquinone in catalytic oxidations performed in the presence of H218O suggested that different active species should be responsible for anthracene oxidation in both catalytic systems. All the results obtained are compatible with an involvement of TMPSFeV=O (or TMPS+FeIV=O), having two redox equivalents above the iron(III) state of the metalloporphyrin precursor, while PcSFeIV=O (one redox equivalent above FeIII state of FePcS) was proposed to be the active species in the metallophthalocyanine-based system.

    Notes: 1,6-Disubstituted (E, Z, E)-1,3,5-hexatrienes (4 and 5) were prepared by vicinal twofold Heck coupling reactions from 1,2-dibromocyclopentene (1), 1,2-dibromocyclohexene (2), 1,2-diiodocyclopentene (8), 1,2-diiodocyclohexene (9), 1-bromo-2-trifluoromethanesulfonyloxycyclohex-1-ene (11), or 1-chloro-2-nonafluorobutanesulfonyloxycyclohex-1-ene (19) with alkenes 3, e. g. methyl, tert-butyl, menthyl, 8-phenylmenthyl acrylate, styrene, and alkenylsilanes, respectively, in moderate to mostly good and very good yields (20-92 %). The coupling of alkenylsilanes 3f-k could only be achieved with the 1,2-diiodocycloalkenes 8 and 9, respectively. The corresponding hexatrienes 5 with two different substituents in the 1- and 6-positions were prepared by a sequence of two coupling reactions with different alkenes from 1-chloro-2-nonafluorobutanesulfonyloxycyclo-hex-1-ene (19) or by Wittig-Horner-Emmons olefination of 2-bromocyclohexene-1-carbaldehyde (24) and subsequent Heck reaction of the resulting (E,Z)-bromodienes 25. Several of the hexatrienes (4aa, ee, 5aa, ee, al, am, el) readily underwent a 6π-electrocyclization upon heating in an inert atmosphere to give the 5- or 6-ring-annelated cis-5,6-disubstituted cyclohexadienes 26, 27 (50-95 %). Starting from 5am 2,3-disubstituted tetrahydronaphthalene 28am was formed under oxidative conditions (air) in the reaction and in the work-up procedure. The bissilyl-substituted derivatives 4ff, jj, 5ff did not cyclize under thermal conditions, apparently due to the steric demand of the two silyl substituents which would have to end up cis with respect to each other in the cyclohexadiene products.

    Notes: Two different routes to novel [(diene)(η6-2,6-dimethylpyridine)Fe] complexes are reported, both of which utilize metal vapour reactions. The presence of two small substituents on the 2,6-position of pyridine is essential for the η6-coordination of the heterocycle. Investigations on the reactivity and stability of the [(diene)(η6-arene)Fe] complexes are presented, including those of the benzene, phosphinine, and pyridine derivatives. These investigations give some hints to the relevant factors for determining the interaction between an iron atom and a π-coordinated neutral arene ligand, and their modification by a nitrogen or a phosphorus atom. Selective substitution of the 1,5-cyclooctadiene (COD) ligand of [(COD)(η6-arene)Fe] complexes by some 1,4-diaza-1,3-diene (DAD) derivatives is possible in the case of the benzene or phosphinine arene ligands, and [(DAD)(η6-arene)Fe] complexes are formed, but all DAD derivatives tested so far cause the complete disintegration of [(COD)(η6-2,6-dimethylpyridine)Fe]. [(DAD)(η6-arene)Fe] complexes exhibit a catalytic potential, which was evaluated by experiments on the catalytic cyclodimerization of 1,3-butadiene in the presence of [(Et2AlOEt)2] as a co-catalyst. This reaction yields up to 92% of 1,5-cyclooctadiene, and an almost quantitative butadiene conversion is possible in the presence of less than 0.1% of the catalyst. Structural investigations on [(N,N′-bis(cyclohexyl)ethylenediimine)(η6-toluene)Fe] 5a reveal some details of the Fe-DAD interaction. An effective electron back-donation from occupied iron d-orbitals into the π*-LUMO of the DAD is indicated.

    Notes: The ring-opening reaction of epoxycyclohexane with 2-[3(5)-pyrazolyl]pyridine results in the formation of racemic trans-2-[3-(2-pyridyl)-1-pyrazolyl]cyclohexanol (1). Kinetic resolution with lipase B from candida antarctica gives the (1S,2S) enantiomer of 1, the solid-state structure of which was determined by X-ray crystallography, as an enantiomerically pure tridentate ligand. Investigation by NMR spectroscopy of the corresponding oxodiperoxomolybdenum complex 2, where 1 acts as a bidentate chelate, proves the formation of a weak intramolecular MoVI(O2)····HO-C bridge in CHCl3 solution. This H bonding is broken by solvents such as acetone, THF or DMF, which are capable of forming hydrogen bonds to alcohols. Intermolecular hydrogen bonds between the OH groups and molybdenum peroxo moieties are also found in the solid-state structure of 2, leading to a helical arrangement of the peroxo complexes.

    Notes: The new pyridyl-substituted phosphaferrocene ligands 3 and 6 are prepared by addition of lithiated pyridine or α-picoline to 2-formyl-3,4-dimethylphosphaferrocene (1). The ligands 3 and 6 react with [Cp*RuCl]4 in THF to give the P,N-chelate complexes [Cp*RuCl·3] (9) and [Cp*RuCl·6] (10) with high diastereoselectivity. Addition of monodentate ligands like CO or PPh3 to the complexes leads by displacement of the Ru-bound pyridyl group to the respective carbonyl or phosphane complexes with monodentate P-coordinated phospha-ferrocene ligands. Reaction of the ligand 6 with [(C3H5)PdCl]2 and NH4PF6 gives the seven-membered chelate complex [(C3H5)Pd·6]PF6 (13) which was characterized by X-ray diffraction. The ligands 3 and 6 were tested in the palladium-catalyzed asymmetric alkylation of 1,3-diphenylallyl acetate.

    Notes: Rate constants for the enolisation reactions of title compounds have been measured by their rates of halogenation at 25 °C in water, in several buffers, in dilute hydrochloric acid, in dilute sodium hydroxide, and in the presence of some metal ion salts. The results have been compared with those previously obtained from the corresponding reactions of acetophenone and a number of other acetyl heterocycles. Electronegativity of the heteroatoms and the “π-excessive” nature of the heterocyclic rings appear to be the main factors determining the relative reactivities in the acid-catalysed reactions. Brønsted β values and isotope effects, kH/kD, point to a more symmetrical transition state for the investigated acetyl heterocycles than that for acetophenone in the general base-catalysed reaction. Metal-activating factors (MAF), i.e. the catalytic constant for metal-ion (Cu2+, Zn2+, and Ni2+) catalysis, kM, relative to that for proton catalysis, kH, are discussed as an empirical measure of the “hard or soft” character of the carbonyl groups in acyl heterocycles.

The crystal structure of a vanadium(III) derivative, [SiMe3NC(Ph)NCH2CH2NMe2]VCl2(THF) (1), shows that the ligand can adopt a facial geometry, with an unusual distortion of the amidinate nitrogen bearing the pendant functionality. With AlEt2Cl cocatalyst the compound 1 produces a single-site catalytic system for the polymerization of ethene.

    Notes: Consecutive addition of one-equivalent portions of glycine ethyl ester to [(p-cymene)Ru(GGGOMe-H+)Cl] leads to considerable amounts of (tetra- to nonapeptide)ruthenium complexes in a one-pot reaction, in which the (p-cymene)RuCl fragment acts as a catalyst. The analogous reaction with alanine methyl ester affords AGGG and AAGGG complexes as the main products. The course of these metal-catalyzed peptide oligomerizations has been followed by mass spectrometry. The synthesis and characterization of the pentapeptide complex [(C6Me6)Ru(GGGGGOMe-H+)] is reported.

    Notes: Introducing ortho-diphenylphosphanyl benzoyl as a substrate bound catalyst directing group (CDG) allows an efficient substrate-directed diastereoselective hydroformylation of acyclic homomethallylic alcohols 5, making use of 1,3-asymmetric induction. The corresponding anti-aldehydes 10 were obtained as the major diastereomer in all cases, with diastereomer ratios of ca. 91:9 (anti:syn). Supporting evidence could be obtained for the ability of the o-DPPB group to act as a catalyst-directing group (CDG) via a reversible catalyst coordination. Finally, a model has been devised that rationalizes the origin of the 1,3-asymmetric induction. This model is based on a conformational analysis (NMR studies, MACROMODEL/MM3 calculations) of the homomethallylic substrates and indicates a relationship between the preferred substrate conformation and the experimentally determined stereoselectivities. In agreement with this model was the predicted significant improvement in stereoselectivity upon hydroformylation of the anti-homomethallylic alcohol derivative 15 (→ 21).

    Notes: The [2 + 1] cycloaddition reaction of electron-rich alkenes such as enol ethers with 9-diazo-9H-fluorene (1) is efficiently catalyzed by pentacarbonyl(η2-cis-cyclooctene)chromium(0) (2). This cyclopropanation reaction shows a pronounced preference for electron-rich C=C bonds, as demonstrated by the regioselective reactions of allyl vinyl ether and 2-vinyloxyethyl acrylate; the [2 + 1] cycloaddition proceeds via the carbene complex intermediate 13, which has been detected by 13C-NMR spectroscopy in the course of the reaction. (Z)-Propenyl benzyl ether yields spirocyclopropane 21 with retention of the configuration of the former olefinic double bond. Whereas diazo compounds 22 and 23 react with ethyl vinyl ether to give low yields of cyclopropanes, the dibenzocycloheptenylidene and diarylcarbene precursors 24 and 25 afford moderate yields of olefin metathesis products 29-31. The competition between cyclopropanation and olefin metathesis reflects the propensity of the carbene complex intermediates to undergo decarbonylation.

    Notes: Transition-metal catalysis of the Michael reaction of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds with acceptor-activated alkenes is introduced as a valuable alternative to the classic base catalysis of this reaction. Owing to the mild, neutral reaction conditions, the chemoselectivity of these processes is superior to that offered by the base catalysis, since the latter suffers from various unwanted side- and subsequent reactions, such as aldol cyclizations and ester solvolyses. The most efficient transition-metal catalysts do not require inert or anhydrous conditions, even solvents are unnecessary in some cases, and quantitative conversions can be achieved at room temperature. Furthermore, the development of transition-metal catalysts on solid supports has allowed very simple work-up procedures. Despite the extraordinary chemoselectivity, in terms of diastereoselectivity transition-metal catalysis gives better results than base catalysis only in a very few special cases. Also, in terms of enantioselectivity, results recently achieved with basic rare-earth metal catalysts cannot be reproduced by transition metals. Nevertheless, with transition-metal catalysis, even new reactivities can be observed, which have hitherto been unknown for base-catalyzed systems. For example, Michael donor molecules have been found to react in an unprecedented vinylogous fashion.

    Notes: Selectivity enhancements in the base-catalyzed acylation of polyols (1,2- or 1,3-alkanediol, partially protected glucoside) have been found with (bi)macrocyclic pyridines 2 and 9 as catalysts. The different selectivities obtained for concave pyridines of varying ring sizes (1 vs. 2) are probably caused by their different geometries as a number of X-ray analyses (1a, 1b, 2a, 2b, 2e, 9) indicate. The methyl glucoside 7 can selectively be acylated in 2-position.

    Notes: A double acceptor-activated cycloalkene 1 reacts in an FeCl3 · 6 H2O catalysed Michael reaction surprisingly as a donor. The constitution of the product 2 results from a reaction of 1 in the γ-position, thus the Michael reaction is vinylogous with respect to the donor. A tautomerism between the enone 1 and the dienol 4 is found to be a precondition for this reactivity.

    Notes: The effect of the natural bite angle (βn) of diphosphane ligands on catalyst selectivity and activity in the palladium-catalyzed allylic alkylation was investigated. The selectivity and rate of the reaction are mainly determined by steric hindrance induced by the diphosphane ligands. The steric hindrance at the palladium center increases as the natural bite angle of the ligand becomes larger. This results in an increasing selectivity at larger bite angles, but at very large bite angles the rate of the reaction drops. The ligand with the largest calculated bite angle, Xantphos, induced 100% selectivity but the reaction rate became low.

    Notes: The coupling reaction of 1,1-disubstituted olefins (α-methylstyrene, n-butyl methacrylate) with various aryl bromides (Heck reaction) has been studied as a new concept to synthesize trisubstituted olefins. Surprisingly, the nature of the base dramatically influences the product distribution. Thus, a systematic investigation on the role of base in Heck reactions of 1,1-disubstituted olefins was performed. Less coordinating bases like NaOAc, NaOBz or Na2CO3 yield a statistical distribution of regioisomers with the terminal olefin 10 as the major product. However, by using amines like Bu3N or diisopropylethylamine (DIPEA) as base internal olefins can be synthesized with high selectivities. With phosphapalladacycle 3 as catalyst precursor, we were able to obtain catalyst turnover numbers up to 1000, while Pd(OAc)2/2PPh3 was one order of magnitude less active. Analysis of the reaction profile by kinetic investigations led to the postulation of a reduction and subsequent oxidative addition of the catalyst precursor 3 to form 12 as catalytically active intermediate.

    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.
