Glucose is the primary source of energy for the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Although yeast cells can utilize a wide range of carbon sources, presence of glucose suppresses molecular activities involved in the use of alternate carbon sources as well as it represses respiration and gluconeogenesis. This dominant effect of glucose on yeast carbon metabolism is coordinated by several si...

the reaction of p-diketones 1 with phenyl hydrazine afforded 5-aryl-3-(1- methyl-5-nitro-2-imidazoly1)-1-phenylpyrazole (2) and 3-aryl-5-(1-methyl-5- nitro-2-imidazoly1) -1-phenylpyrazole (3). the reaction of diketones (1) with urea in the presence of p-toluenesulfonic acid gave 4-(or 6-)aryl-6-(or 4-)(1-methyl- 5-nitro-2-imidazolyl)-1-(lh)pyrimidones (4). the structures of all compounds were c...

the aim of this study was to determine the feasibility of coupling an electrochemical process with a biological treatment in order to degrade phosmet, an organophosphorous pesticide. the absence of biodegradability of phosmet by pseudomonas fluorescens and activated sludge was verified in our operational conditions. so, a conventional biological treatment is not appropriate for phosmet polluted...

A new series of 2-(5-nitro-2-heteroaryl)-1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives, including nitro furan, nitro thiophene and nitro imidazole, were synthesized and screened in vitro for their inhibitory activity against eight bacterial strains. The results showed that most of the synthesized compounds were active against Gram-positive bacteria, determined by MIC method. Among them, compounds <str...

reaction of substituted-aniline (8) with ethyl (l-methyl-5-nitroimidazole-2- carbonyl) acetate (9) gave 4-hydroxy-2-(l-methyl-5-nitro-2-imidazolyl)- substituted-quinolines (lo), which were converted to compound 11 with phosphorus oxychloride. substituted-2-(l-methyl-5-nitro-2-imidazo1yl)-4.- methyl-(or phenyl-) quinolines (14) were prepared through the reaction of 2- acetyl-5-nitro-1-methyl-imi...

Pseudomonas putida has a variety of potential uses in bioremediation and biosynthesis of biodegradable plastics. P. putida is able to utilize a wide range of carbon sources. In this study, P. putida KT2440 was grown on glucose, glycerol, citrate, or fatty acid (lauric acid) as the sole carbon source. Differences in expression levels of genes involved in the Entner-Doudoroff pathway, glycerol me...

microbial cells are producers of natural polymers present in plant cells. production of pullulan (an extracellular microbial polysaccharide) by aureobasidium pullularia pullulans (p. pullulans) was studied under fermentation conditions, and kinetic parameters were determined. pullulan formation obeyed a growth and non-growth associated term. phb (polyhydroxybutyrates) an intracellular biopolyme...

Acid-base bifunctional heterogeneous catalysts were prepared by the reaction of an acidic silica-alumina (SA) surface with silane-coupling reagents possessing amino functional groups. The obtained SA-supported amines (SA-NR2) were characterized by solid-state 13C and 29Si NMR spectroscopy, FT-IR spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. The solid-state NMR spectra revealed that the amines were immo...

Ethyl 4-(butylamino)-3-nitrobenzoate upon “one-pot” nitro-reductive cyclization using sodium dithionite and substituted aldehyde in dimethyl sulphoxide affords ethyl 1-butyl-2-(2-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole-5-carboxylate an 87% yield. The structural characterization was determined by Fourier-transfer infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR), Ca...
