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...

Estimating With Objects - Part VII

This column is the seventh in a series about estimating. The first was in the July 1996 issue. The most recent several columns have focused on estimates based on lines of code (LOC). There are, however, several types of source code as well as many other important product types. Examples are new, modified, and reused code, as well as documentation, screens, reports, and files. The principal ques...
