Theory of piezoelectricity, electrostriction, and pyroelectricity in molecular crystals.

A microscopic theory is presented for piezoelectricity, electrostriction, and pyroelectricity in molecular crystals. The required coefficients are derived by combining a theoretical treatment of the dependence of molecular dipole moments on molecular displacement and a generalized elastic theory for internal strain.

Corynebacterium glutamicum is not only well known as a very important industrial microorganism (mainly used in the production of amino acids and vitamins), but also as a model organism in microbial research, and for the disclosing of catabolism mechanisms of aromatic compounds in high G+C content Gram-positive bacteria (Shen et al., 2012). It is inevitable that bacteria will be subject to a var...

Gordonia jacobaea strain MV-1 is characterized by its ability to synthesize carotenoids (de Miguel et al., 2000). This bacterium belongs to the broad and diverse group of mycolic acid-containing actinomycetes, known as the mycolata group. Mycolata contains microorganisms of industrial interest such as Corynebacterium glutamicum, as well as others of clinical relevance such as Mycobacterium tube...
