pCAR1 endows carbazole-degrading ability on its host. Three different host Pseudomonas (P. fluorescens Pf0-1, P. resinovorans CA10dm4, and P. chlororaphis IAM1511) were prepared to compare their behaviors in artificial microcosms (sterile soil and water supplemented with carbazole) with previous results for P. putida SM1443 (Shintani et al., Appl. Microbiol. Biotechnol., 80, 485-497 (2008)). We...

We determined the complete 254,797-bp nucleotide sequence of the plasmid pCAR3, a carbazole-degradative plasmid from Sphingomonas sp. strain KA1. A region of about 65 kb involved in replication and conjugative transfer showed similarity to a region of plasmid pNL1 isolated from the aromatic-degrading Novosphingobium aromaticivorans strain F199. The presence of many insertion sequences, transpos...

Using vo1tammetric technique with a rotating disk electrode, the anodic oxidation of carbazole in aqueous H2S04 ethanol mixtures was shown to proceed under diffusion and electron transfer control conditions. Electro-oxidation involves one electron transfer; electrode passivation occurs due to the formation of a poorly soluble product. By means of the SCF MO LCAO INDO, AMI-UHF and PM3-UHF method...

In the title mol-ecule, C(26)H(25)Br(3)N(2), a dihedral angle of 6.15 (10)° is present between the carbazole and benzene ring systems with an E conformation about the C=C bond [1.335 (4) Å]. The butyl group is almost perpendicular to the carbazole plane [C-N-C-C torsion angle = -98.7 (3)°]. In the crystal, supra-molecular double chains along [-7,18,-16] are formed via C-H⋯Br and π-π inter-actio...

Nitrogen heterocyclic compounds, especially carbazole, quinolone, and pyridine are common types of environmental pollutants. Carbazole has a toxic influence on living organisms, and the knowledge of its persistence and bioconversion in ecosystems is still not complete. There is an increasing interest in detoxification of hazardous xenobiotics by microorganisms. In this study, the ability of thr...

In the title compound, C(19)H(19)FN(2)O(2)S, the hydrogenated six-membered ring of the carbazole unit adopts a half-chair conformation and the plane of the fluoro-phenyl ring forms a dihedral angle of 41.5 (1)° with respect to the carbazole mean plane. The crystal structure is segregated into layers containing the carbazole units and fluoro-phenyl rings in alternate (200) planes. The carbazole ...

In the title compound, [Hg(C(17)H(15)N(2)S(2))(2)], the Hg(II) ion lies on a crystallographic twofold rotation axis giving a very distorted tetra-hedral coordination geometry best described as bis-phenoidal, being chelated by two deprotonated N,S Schiff base ligands through the azomethine nitro-gen and the thiol-ate sulfur donors. The dihedral angle between the two chelating ligand moieties is ...

In the title compound, [AgCl(C7H7N3O2S)(C18H15P)2], the AgI ion is in a distorted tetra-hedral coordination environment formed by P atoms from two tri-phenyl-phosphane ligands, one terminal S atom from the 1-(4-nitro-phen-yl)thio-urea ligand and a chloride ion. In the crystal, bifurcated (N-H)2⋯Cl hydrogen bonds [with graph-set motif R21(6)] connect complex mol-ecules, forming zigzag chains alo...

The title compound, C15H17NO2, was synthesized from a mixture of α-himachalene (2-methyl-ene-6,6,9-tri-methylbi-cyclo-[5.4.0(1,7)]undec-8-ene) and β-himachalene (2,6,6,9-tetra-methylbi-cyclo-[5.4.0(1,7)]undeca-1,8-diene), which were isolated from an oil of the Atlas cedar (Cedrus Atlantica). The naphthalene ring system makes dihedral angles of 68.6 (2) and 44.3 (2)°, respectively, with its atta...

A series of hexa- and octasubstituted biphenyls containing halogen, amino, nitro, and propylthio substituents were prepared by metal-mediated convergent synthesis from halobenzene precursors. The Pd-assisted C-C coupling methods were ineffective in the formation of the Ar-Ar bond except for the synthesis of 1b. All tetra-ortho-substituted biphenyls were prepared via Ullmann coupling reactions. ...
