In the title compound, 2C5H12N+·SO42-·2C3H8N2S, the C=S groups of the two independent 1,3-di-methyl-urea mol-ecules and the sulfur atom of the anion lie on twofold axes. The packing is centred on bis-(piperidinium) sulfate ribbons parallel to the c axis; the cations are hydrogen bonded to the sulfate by N-H⋯O and C-H⋯O inter-actions. The 1,3-di-methyl-urea mol-ecules are also hydrogen bonded to...

We studied thermophilic sulfate reduction with methanol as electron donor in continuous cultures. Mixed cultures of selected microorganisms were used, representing different methanol degrading pathways followed by various trophic groups of microorganisms. Our results show that direct competition for methanol between a homoacetogen, Moorella thermoautotrophica, and a sulfate reducer, Desulfotoma...

An efficient, mild and environmentally friendly method was developed for the Strecker reaction to synthesize α-aminonitriles in the presence of methyl imidazolium hydrogen sulfate ([Hmim][HSO4]) as an efficient catalyst. These syntheses were performed via a one-pot three-component condensation of aldehydes (or ketones), amines, and trimethylsilyl cyanide under mild and solvent free c...

In the presence of hydrogen peroxide and either potassium iodide, sodium chloride, or potassium bromide, purified human myeloperoxidase was rapidly lethal to several species of Candida. Its candidacidal activity was inhibited by cyanide, fluoride, and azide, and by heat inactivation of the enzyme. A hydrogen peroxidegenerating system consisting of d-amino acid oxidase, flavine-adenine dinucleot...

In the title salt, 2C6H9N2O2S(+)·SO4 (2-), the sulfate S atom is situated on a crystallographic twofold axis (the symmetry of the anion is 2). The anion exerts intense libration, which is manifested by shortening of the observed sulfate S-O bonds, as well as by features in the electron-density map. The crystal structure is stabilized through a three-dimensional hydrogen-bonding network formed b...

The physiological properties of a hyd mutant of Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough, lacking periplasmic Fe-only hydrogenase, have been compared with those of the wild-type strain. Fe-only hydrogenase is the main hydrogenase of D. vulgaris Hildenborough, which also has periplasmic NiFe- and NiFeSe-hydrogenases. The hyd mutant grew less well than the wild-type strain in media with sulfate as th...

We investigated the microbial community composition in three different mine tunnels from Hualgayoc (Cajamarca, Peru) and metabolic activity of acidophilic sulfate-reducing bacteria (aSRB) enriched acidic sediments mining tunnels. Microbial environmental samples was analyzed by 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing. Metallibacterium Acidiphilium were found as most abundant PM1 PM2 sites, respectively, wh...
