1. 18-Hydroxyoestrone was reduced by NaBH4 in methanol, giving 18-hydroxyoestradiol-17α and 18-hydroxyoestradiol-17β in the ratio 3:7. 2. Treatment of 18-hydroxyoestrone with a strong alkali yielded 18-noroestrone; however, the 18-hydroxyoestradiols did not undergo transformation to their respective 18-nor derivatives. 3. All the 18-hydroxylated oestrogens were stable under acid conditions. They formed Kober chromogens: the chromogenicity of 18-hydroxyoestrone was only one-third that of the 18-hydroxyoestradiols and oestriol. 4. Paper-, thin-layer- and gas–liquid-chromatographic systems for the characterization of these compounds are described. 5. An examination of the mass spectra revealed peaks characteristic of the substituted carbon atoms. Definite assignment of the 17α- and 17β-hydroxyl groups of the epimeric 18-hydroxyoestrogens was possible by characteristic fragmentation of the free steroids. Further, the configuration of 18-hydroxyoestradiol-17β was confirmed by the formation of the dimethylsildioxy derivative of the 3-methylether of the steroid. 6. Both rat and rabbit liver slices reduced 18-hydroxyoestrone to 18-hydroxyoestradiol-17β and some other labile, polar metabolites with properties similar to 2-hydroxylated oestrogens. No formation of 18-hydroxyoestradiol-17α in vitro was observed. 7. The results are discussed with respect to the possible influence of the 18-hydroxyl group on reactions at C-17, as well as the reactions of 18-hydroxylated oestrogens with strong acid (Kober reactions) and alkali.

Logarithmic Growth

Mycobacteriophage R1 was originally isolated from a lysogenic culture of M. butyricum. The virus was propagated on a leucine-requiring derivative of M. smegmatis, 607 leu−, isolated by nitrosoguanidine mutagenesis of typestrain ATCC 607. Growth was accomplished in a minimal medium containing glycerol and glucose as carbon source and enriched by the addition of 80 μg/ ml L-leucine. Bacteria in early logarithmic growth phase were infected with virus at a multiplicity of 5, and incubated with aeration for 8 hours. The partially lysed suspension was diluted 1:10 in growth medium and incubated for a further 8 hours. This permitted stationary phase cells to re-enter logarithmic growth and resulted in complete lysis of the culture.

Electrical And Magnetic Properties

Amorphous materials are of current interest due to their desirable mechanical, electrical and magnetic properties. Furthermore, crystallizing amorphous alloys provides an avenue for discerning sequential and competitive phases thus allowing access to otherwise inaccessible crystalline structures. Previous studies have shown the benefits of using AEM to determine crystal structures and compositions of partially crystallized alloys. The present paper will discuss the AEM characterization of crystallized Cu-Ti and Ni-Ti amorphous films.Cu60Ti40: The amorphous alloy Cu60Ti40, when continuously heated, forms a simple intermediate, macrocrystalline phase which then transforms to the ordered, equilibrium Cu3Ti2 phase. However, contrary to what one would expect from kinetic considerations, isothermal annealing below the isochronal crystallization temperature results in direct nucleation and growth of Cu3Ti2 from the amorphous matrix.
