Alkanoic Acids

چکیده
Four Pseudomonas species and two Alcaligenes species were isolated from soil with a capacity to grow on halogenated alkanoic acids. They were shown to contain one of five large plasmids. The plasmids had molecular weights ranging from 98,800 to 190,000. They were associated with the ability to utilize the halogenated substrates 2-monochloropropionic acid and 2-monochloroacetic acid and with resistance towards one or more of the heavy metals mercury, selenium, and tellurium. The largest plasmid, pUU204, was shown to be unstable in continuous-flow culture when the organism was supplied with succinate as the sole carbon source. The dehalogenase gene associated with pUU204 appeared to be readily transferred to an incP group plasmid, R68-45.

Antifungal properties of 2-alkenoic acids and 2-bromo alkanoic acids.
The antifungal activity of homologous series of 2-alkenoic and 2-bromo alkanoic acids was determined against Aspergillus niger, Trichoderma viride, Myrothecium verrucaria, and Trichophyton mentagrophytes and compared with data on analogous alkanoic and 2-fluoro alkanoic acids. The fungitoxicity of all of the series of compounds was determined by chain length, pH of the medium, and presence or a...
متن کاملInhibition of smooth muscle proliferation by urea-based alkanoic acids via peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha-dependent repression of cyclin D1.
OBJECTIVE Proliferation of smooth muscle cells is implicated in cardiovascular complications. Previously, a urea-based soluble epoxide hydrolase inhibitor was shown to attenuate smooth muscle cell proliferation. We examined the possibility that urea-based alkanoic acids activate the nuclear receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARalpha) and the role of PPARalpha in smooth...
متن کاملPurification and thermal analysis of perfluoro-n-alkanoic acids.
Purification of perfluoro-n-alkanoic acids (C(n)F(2n+1)COOH, n=7, 9, 11, 13, 15 and 17) was made by repeated recrystallizations from n-hexane/acetone mixed solvent, and their purity was found to be more than 99.5% by GC-MS, NMR, and elemental analysis. The thermal behaviors such as melting point and enthalpy change of fusion were investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The m...
متن کاملStable carbon isotope evidence for the microbial origin of C14-C18 n-alkanoic acids in soils
In order to delineate the origin of soil fatty acids, crop soil samples have been incubated for 21 days in vitro either with unlabelled or 13C-labelled glucose. Analyses of C14-C32 n-alkanoic acids from monocarboxylic acid fractions, as methyl esters, by gas chromatography-combustion-isotope ratio monitoring mass spectrometry (GC-C-IRMS) show that C14, C16 and C18 n-alkanoic acids are 13C-label...
متن کاملCarboxylic acids of marine evaporitic oils from Sergipe-Alagoas Basin, Brazil
A suite of 10 dierent marine evaporitic oil samples from Sergipe-Alagoas Basin, Brazil was studied for its biomarker content, in particular its acidic constituents. The oils showed dierent molecular distributions and relative abundances of n-alkanoic, isoprenoid and hopanoic acids. The observed dierences were assigned to the incorporation of immature organic matter in the oils and fractionat...
متن کاملInterpretation of surface-tension isotherms of n-alkanoic (fatty) acids by means of the van der Waals model.
Here we apply the two-dimensional van der Waals model to interpret surface-tension isotherms of aqueous solutions of n-alkanoic (fatty) acids. We processed available experimental data for a homologous series of eight acids, from pentanoic to dodecanoic (lauric). Only three adjustable parameters have been varied to fit simultaneously all experimental curves. Excellent agreement between the theor...
