First report of cis-1,4-polyisoprene degradation by Gordonia paraffinivorans

Cholesterol degradation by Gordonia cholesterolivorans.

This paper reports physiological and genetic data about the type strain Gordonia cholesterolivorans, a strain that is able to degrade steroid compounds containing a long carbon side chain such as cholesterol (C(27)), cholestenone (C(27)), ergosterol (C(28)), and stigmasterol (C(29)). The length of the carbon side chain appears to be of great importance for this bacterium, as the strain is unabl...

Degradation of cis-l,4-Polyisoprene Rubbers by White Rot Fungi and Manganese Peroxidase- Catalyzed Lipid Peroxidation

Antithrombin activity of a polyelectrolyte synthesized from cis-1,4-polyisoprene.

Degradation of trans-polyisoprene after root filling with thermoplasticized techniques.

AIM To evaluate ex vivo degradation of gutta-percha following six thermoplastic obturation techniques. METHODOLOGY Ninety human-extracted mandibular premolars were selected and divided randomly into nine groups for filling. Group 1: thermomechanical compaction for 3 s with Konne gutta-percha points (Konne Ind. e Com. de Mat. Odontol., Belo Horizonte, MG, Brazil); Group 2: thermomechanical com...
