Eight strains of bacteria which could not grow under aerobic conditions, were isolated from Japanese spiny lobster. All the strains were Gram-positive, non-sporeforming cocci, and grew well under anaerobic conditions. The strains required a decreased oxygen tension rather than an increased CO2 tension. Catalase, oxidase, nitrate reductase and urease were not produced. The strains fermented glucose, cellobiose, trehalose and levulose. Indole and H2S were not produced. Macromolecule substances including starch, esculin, casein, gelatin and chitin were not hydrolyzed. Lactic acid was the sole product from peptone-yeast extract-Fildes solution-glucose broth. Fermentable carbohydrates were not required. The strains could grow at 20 to 37°C, and required NaCl for growth. From the above results, the strains were identified as anaerobic (aerotolerant) Streptococcus sp. 相似文献
This paper is concerned with systematic developments of the Fraunhofer-diffraction method for studies of plasma density fluctuations in high-temperature plasmas using infrared lasers, namely (i) development of the general theory of the Fraunhofer-diffraction method, (ii) measurements of fluctuations propagating in an azimuthal direction, (iii) measurements of fluctuation intensities, and (iv) application in measurements on high-temperature plasmas. 相似文献
Summary Poly(proline) and random copolypeptide composed of Pro and Ala residues were synthesized, and their solution properties and
molecular conformation were investigated. Aqueous solutions of the polypeptide were irradiated with γ-rays above the transition
temperature. It was shown that the transition temperature of the aqueous solution of the copolypeptide is influenced by Ala-residue
content and γ-ray irradiation. 相似文献
Summary Phenolic resins containing alkylenediamine in the main chain could be prepared by the co-condensation reaction of phenol, formaldehyde and alkylenediamines such as ethylenediamine and hexamethylenediamine. The molecular structures were determined by1H-NMR spectra, IR spectra and nitrogen content. The molecular conformation of these resins in THF solution were studied from the viscosity measurements, and it became clear that the molecules were considerably compact compared with linear vinyl polymers. To clarify the reason of this phenomenon, the resins whose degrees of branching were different from each other and the resins whose phenolic hydroxyl groups were acetylated were prepared. From viscosity data, it was pointed out that the intramolecular hydrogen bonding contributes to the compaction of the phenolic resins containing alkylenediamine in the main chain more strongly than the branching does. 相似文献
Chiral amino acids are important intermediates for the pharmaceutical industry. We have developed a novel one‐pot enzymatic method for D ‐amino acid synthesis by the dynamic kinetic resolution of N‐succinyl‐dl ‐amino acids using D ‐succinylase (DSA) and N‐succinylamino acid racemase (NSAR, EC 4.2.1.113). The DSA from Cupriavidus sp. P4‐10‐C, which hydrolyzes N‐succinyl‐D ‐amino acids enantioselectively to their corresponding D ‐amino acids, was identified for the first time by screening soil microorganisms. Subsequently, the DSA gene was cloned and overexpressed in Escherichia coli. DSA was shown to comprise two subunits with molecular masses of 26 kDa and 60 kDa. Additionally, the NSAR gene from Geobacillus stearothermphilus NCA1503, which racemizes N‐succinylamino acids, was also cloned and overexpressed in E. coli. The highly purified DSA and NSAR prepared from each recombinant E. coli were characterized and used for D ‐amino acid synthesis. A one‐pot enzymatic method converted 100 mM N‐succinyl‐dl ‐phenylalanine to D ‐phenylalanine in 91.1% conversion with 86.7% ee. This novel enzymatic method may be useful for the industrial production of many D ‐amino acids.
Concrete filled double skin tubular (CFDST in abbreviation) stub columns consist of double concentric thin steel tubes and filled concrete between them. Their mechanical behaviors under axial compression were investigated experimentally. Two testing parameters considered were inner-to-outer diameters ratio and diameter-to-thickness ratio. Observed failure modes were controlled by the local buckling of both the tubes associated with shearing failure of the filled concrete. Main discussion is given on confinement effect by the outer tube to the filled concrete strength. Equations to estimate their ultimate strengths under compression were proposed based upon the yielding strengths of the tubes and the filled concrete cylinder strength. 相似文献
