The rhizosphere microorganisms can form beneficial, pathogenic, or neutral relationships. These relationships can promote plant growth and productivity. Among them, a number of Variovorax isolates from the rhizosphere were isolated. Bacteria Variovorax strain C6d (AB552893) was isolated from the non axenic culture of Chlorella spp., C6. The cell was Gram-negative, motile, non-spore-forming, short and rod-shaped (0.5-1.0x1.5-2.0µm). Colonies were in white colour after 7 days on 10-fold diluted Nutrient Broth. The strain was able to tolerate NaCL to 1.0% but not to 4.0% of NaCl. It grew quite well at temperatures ranging from 10°C to 37°C, yet did not show any growth at 4°C and 42°C. The dominant isoprenoid quinone was ubiquinone 8 (Q8). The major fatty acid composition of this strain was summed feature 3, 16:0 and 18:1:w7. The DNA G+C content of strain C6d was 70.4 mol%.

A glucose-nonfermenting Gram-negative bacterial strain isolated from bronchofiberoscope used for examination of the patients suffering from pulmonary diseases was subjected to phenol-water extraction. Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) isolated from the water and the phenol phase differed in fatty acid composition. Both contained xylose, glucose, glucosamine and components typical for LPS, namely heptose, 3-deoxyoctulosonic acid (Kdo) and 3-hydroxymyristic acid. The presence of sphingosine in all LPS preparations classifies the strain to the genus Sphingomonas.

Previous studies on this cortexless mutant of Bacillus cereus var. alesti indicated that the forespore membrane was the site of the biochemical lesion. This hypothesis is supported by the results presented here: fatty acid composition of sporulating cells of the mutant is altered, while in vegetative cells it is comparable to the parent; soluble precursors of peptidoglycan synthesis are accumulated in the mutant, at the time of cortex formation; homogenates of the mutant prepared at the time of cortex formation are unable to incorporate tritiated diaminopimelic acid into peptidoglycan, while homogenates of cells forming germ cell wall do so to an extent comparable to that of the parent; lipid-linked intermediates are formed by the mutant as in the parent. Apparently the mutant is unable either to transfer disaccharide penta-peptide units from the carrier lipid to the growing peptidoglycan acceptor, or to transport lipid-linked intermediates across the forespore membrane.

Abstract Some physical and chemical properties, including fatty acid composition by gas chromatography, of 15 commercially refined safflower oils and three crude oils extracted from safflower seed, were determined. The average and standard deviations found were: refractive index, 1.4748 ± 0.0003; specific gravity, 0.9210 ± 0.0005; iodine number, Wijs, 143.4 ± 1.4; squalene, 7.1 mg/100 g ± 1.1; and Bellier test, 7.4° ± 0.9. The major fatty acid components were; palmitic 6.7 ± 0.3, stearic 2.7 ± 0.4, oleic 12.9 ± 0.6, and linoleic 77.5 ± 1.1. Minor fatty acid components detected were myristic, arachidic, and eicosenoic acids.
