Historical and recent achievements in the field of microbial degradation of natural and synthetic rubber.
This review intends to provide an overview of historical and recent achievements in studies of microbial degradation of natural and synthetic rubber. The main scientific focus is on the key enzymes latex-clearing protein (Lcp) from the Gram-positive Streptomyces sp. strain K30 and rubber oxygenase A (RoxA) from the Gram-negative Xanthomonas sp. strain 35Y, which has been hitherto the only known...
متن کاملThe Cyclization of Natural Rubber
The effects of solvent, temperature, time, weight percent of catalyst on the rate and mechanism of cyclization of natural rubber (NR) was studied in toluene and xylene solutions having tin tetra chloride catalyst (SnCl4). Iodometric titration show, with 8% SnCl4 (based on polymer weight) cyclization occurs, leaving 27.4% of the total unsaturation. Infrared spectra of c...
متن کاملInfluence of Electron Beam Irradiation and Step-Crosslinking Process on Solvent Penetration and Thermal Properties of Natural Rubber Vulcanizates
The influence of both electron beam irradiation and step-crosslinking process on the high abrasion furnace (HAF) carbon black loaded natural rubber (NR) vulcanizates are reported. With irradiation, a higher crosslinking density, ν, thermal conductivity, λ, glass transition temperature, Tg, and decreased specific heat capacity, Cp, have been observed for the irradiated materials as compared with...
متن کاملmicrobial degradation of natural rubber latex by a novel species of bacillus sp. sbs25 isolated from soil
bacillus sp. sbs25, a gram positive bacteria isolated from soil was found to be effectivein the biodegradation of natural rubber latex. the products of latex biodegradation were separated from the ether extract by thin layer chromatography. gas chromatography and mass spectrometry showed the biodegradation of the major compound into three simpler fractions with low molecular weights. this was f...
متن کاملMicrobial gutta-percha degradation shares common steps with rubber degradation by Nocardia nova SH22a.
Nocardia nova SH22a, a bacterium capable of degrading gutta-percha (GP) and natural rubber (NR), was used to investigate the GP degradation mechanism and the relations between the GP and NR degradation pathways. For this strain, a protocol of electroporation was systematically optimized, and an efficiency of up to 4.3 × 10(7) CFU per μg of plasmid DNA was achieved. By applying this optimized pr...
