Microbiol. 10:524-528. 1962.-Several strains of fungi were tested for their ability to metabolize a-pinene in shake cultures. A strain of Aspergillus niger showing marked efficiency in this respect was selected for further studies. T...

Microbiological transformations of terpenes. III. Transformations of some mono- and sesqui-terpenes.

The action of Aspergillus niger on mono- and sesqui-terpenic hydrocarbons, such as carane, 3-carene, alpha-santalene, and humulene was studied in shake cultures. Carane, Delta3-carene, and humulene proved to be rather resistant to oxygenation by the experimental strain of A. niger. Carene yielded a hydroxyketone, C(10)H(14)O(2), in poor yields after prolonged fermentation. The sesqui-terpene hy...

Part VI Example Problems

An object is cloaked if its presence cannot be detected by an observer using electromagnetic or other forms of imaging. In fact, the observer should not notice that cloaking is even occurring. Cloaking has a long history in science fiction, but recent developments have put the idea on a firmer mathematical and physical basis. Suppose that an observer seeks to image some bounded region Ω in spac...
