Mycobacterium vaccae JOB-5 has an inducible propane monooxygenase that has been implicated in the catabolism of most major groundwater pollutants including trichloroethylene. Propane-grown cells are also induced for the dehalogenation of 1-chlorobutane and other chloroalkanes. 1-Chlorobutane is oxidized to 2-butanol, indicating that subterminal oxidation of 1-chlorobutane resulted in a concomitant release of the chloride. Nonproliferating suspensions of M. vaccae induced for the propane monooxygenase can dehalogenate a variety of chlorinated hydrocarbons including monochlorinated alcohols, dichlorinated short chain alkanes, and several multiple-substituted compounds including trichloroethylene. The results indicate that M. vaccae JOB-5 has a monooxygenase of broad specificity that can dehalogenate an array of halogenated hydrocarbons.Key words: dehalogenation, propane monooxygenase, chlorinated alkanes.

ABSTRACTThe structure of quinoline oligomers synthesized by the catalytic dehydrogenative condensation reaction of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline was elucidated on the basis of various spectroscopic data including the 2D COSY 1H NMR. The x-ray crystal structural study of two quinoline dimers successfully isolated from the bulk material resolved the puzzle of ring conjunction positions between quinoline units of the oligomer product. A reaction mechanism is proposed. From this mechanism a delicate balance between dehydrogenation and polymerization activity of the catalyst is required to optimize the yield and the molecular weight of the product.

Equilibrium vesicles, those which are the stable form of aggregation and form spontaneously on mixing surfactant with water, have never been demonstrated in single component bilayers and only rarely in lipid or surfactant mixtures. Designing a simple and general method for producing spontaneous and stable vesicles depends on a better understanding of the thermodynamics of aggregation, the interplay of intermolecular forces in surfactants, and an efficient way of doing structural characterization in dynamic systems.

Characterization of Borrelia burgdorferi strains by means of negative staining EM has become an integral part of many studies related to the biology of the Lyme disease organism. However, relying solely upon negative staining to compare new isolates with prototype B31 or other borreliae is often unsatisfactory. To obtain more satisfactory results, we have relied upon a correlative approach encompassing a variety EM techniques, i.e., scanning for topographical features and cryotomy, negative staining and thin sectioning to provide a more complete structural characterization of B. burgdorferi.For characterization, isolates of B. burgdorferi were cultured in BSK II media from which they were removed by low speed centrifugation. The sedimented borrelia were carefully resuspended in stabilizing buffer so as to preserve their features for scanning and negative staining. Alternatively, others were prepared for conventional thin sectioning and for cryotomy using modified procedures. For thin sectioning, the fixative described by Ito, et al.
