The rotational constants and the nitrogen nuclear quadrupole coupling constants of cis-3-aminophenol and trans-3-aminophenol are determined using Fourier-transform microwave spectroscopy. We examine several J = 2 <-- 1 and 1 <-- 0 hyperfine-resolved rotational transitions for both conformers. The transitions are fit to a rigid rotor Hamiltonian including nuclear quadrupole coupling to account f...

1. The purification to homogeneity of stable highly active preparations of UDP-glucuronyltransferase from liver of phenobarbital-treated rats is briefly described. 2. A single polypeptide was visible after sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis, of mol.wt.57000. 3. Antiserum raised against the pure enzyme produces a single sharp precipitin line after Ouchterlony double-diffu...

Pseudomonas sp. strain AP-3 grows on benzoate, phydroxybenzoate, protocatechuate, and 2-aminophenol as sole carbon and energy source. This strain converted benzoate and p-hydroxybenzoate to catechol and protocatechuate respectively, which were metabolized via the ortho-cleavage pathway. The enzymes responsible for these reactions were shown to be inducible. In contrast, strain AP-3 constitutive...

A Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes able to use nitrobenzene as the sole source of carbon, nitrogen, and energy was isolated from soil and groundwater contaminated with nitrobenzene. The range of aromatic substrates able to support growth was limited to nitrobenzene, hydroxylaminobenzene, and 2-aminophenol. Washed suspensions of nitrobenzene-grown cells removed nitrobenzene from culture fluids with...

Copper(II) complexes containing two Schiff base ligands derived from 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde with 2-aminophenol and 3-aminophenol have been synthesized and characterized by means of analytical, magnetic, and spectroscopic methods. Bacteria, fungus, Entamoeba histolytica, and antineoplastic activities of the synthesized complexes have been determined by monitoring the parameters cell growth inhibi...

In spite of the variety of initial reactions, the aerobic biodegradation of aromatic compounds generally yields dihydroxy intermediates for ring cleavage. Recent investigation of the degradation of nitroaromatic compounds revealed that some nitroaromatic compounds are initially converted to 2-aminophenol rather than dihydroxy intermediates by a number of microorganisms. The complete pathway for...

Sloane, Crane, and Mayer (2) reported that Mycobacterium smegmatis oxidizes aniline to p-aminophenol. It was also shown (2) that p-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) yields p-aminophenol after the PABA is first enzymatically decarboxylated to aniline. It is the purpose of this publication to present data on the effect of pH, citrate, inorganic ions, and inhibitors on this hydroxylation reaction. The data...

O-aminophenol has extensive uses as a conducting material and in electrochemical devices. The objective of this research was to investigate the influence of biofield energy treatment on the physical thermal and spectral properties of o-aminophenol. The study was performed in two groups; the control group was remained as untreated, while the treated group was subjected to Mr. Trivedi’s biofield ...

The oxidation of the o-aminophenols, 2-amino-1-fluorenol, 3hydroxy-4-aminobiphenyl, and of o-aminophenol itself by cytochrome c and cytochrome oxidase in vitro has been shown to yield colored oxidation products with characteristic visible absorption spectra (2). The present paper is concerned with the identification of these products by chemical synthesis. The oxidation products of 3-hydroxy-4-...
