The research was focused on the slurry-phase biodegradation of naphthalene in soil. Among ex-situ techniques, the slurry-phase technique offers the advantage to increase the availability of contaminants to bacteria. From soil samples collected on a contaminated site, the Pseudomonas putida M8 strain capable to degrade naphthalene was selected. Experiments were performed in a stirred and oxygena...

In the title compound, C(8)H(7)ClFNO, the dihedral angle between the benzene ring and the acetamide side chain is 5.47 (6)°. An S(6) ring motif is formed via an intra-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bond. In the crystal, N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into C(4) chains along [001].

In the title compound, C8H8N2O2, the acetamide unit is inclined to the furan ring by 76.7 (1)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by N-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, generating C(4) chains along [100]. The carbonyl O atom is a bifurcated acceptor and an R (1) 2(6) ring is formed.

In the title compound, C11H12N2O, the dihedral angle between the acetamide group and the benzene ring is 68.7 (1)°. In the crystal, N-H⋯O and weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into chains along the a-axis direction.

In the title compound, C(18)H(16)N(2)O(2)·H(2)O, the dihedral angle between the quinoline ring system and the benzene ring is 87.19 (8)°. In the crystal, water mol-ecules are linked to acetamide mol-ecules via inter-molecular O-H⋯N and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

The complex molecule of the title compound, [Rh2{N(C6H5)COCH3}4(NCC7H7)], has crystallographically-imposed mirror symmetry. The four acetamide ligands bridging the dirhodium core are arranged in a 2,2-cis manner with two N atoms and two O atoms coordinating to the unique Rh(II) atom cis to one another. The Neq-Rh-Rh-Oeq torsion angles on the acetamide bridge are 0.75 (7) and 1.99 (9)°. The axia...

THE CONFORMATION OF THE TITLE COMPOUND [SYSTEMATIC NAME: N-benzyl-2-(2-nitro-imidazol-1-yl)acetamide], C(12)H(12)N(4)O(3), can be described in terms of the relative orientation of three planar fragments, the imidazol group (A), benzyl group (B), and the acetamide fragment (C), with corresponding dihedral angles: A/C = 88.17 (4), B/C = 67.12 (5) and A/B = 21.11 (4)°. The crystal packing is enhan...

The marine autotroph Aureococcus anophagefferens (Pelagophyceae) was rendered axenic in order to investigate hydrolysis rates of peptides, chitobiose, acetamide, and urea as indicators of the ability to support growth on dissolved organic nitrogen. Specific rates of hydrolysis varied between 8 and 700% of rates observed in associated heterotrophic marine bacteria.

In the title compound, C9H9ClN4OS, the dihedral angle between the acetamide moiety and the pyridine ring is 4.83 (12)°. The O=C-C-Cl torsion angle is 46.4 (3)° and an intra-molecular C-H⋯O inter-action generates an S(6) ring. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by N-H⋯O, N-H⋯N and C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, generating sheets lying parallel to (120).

The biotransformation of the phytoanticipin HBOA and its major degradation metabolites 2-hydroxy-N-(2-hydroxyphenyl)acetamide (7) and N-(2-hydroxyphenyl)acetamide (8) by Chaetosphaeria sp., an endophytic fungus isolated from Aphelandra tetragona, was studied. Three new metabolites could be identified as 2-amino-7-hydroxy-3H-phenoxazin-3-one (12), 2-acetylamino-7-hydroxy-3H-phenoxazin-3-one (13)...
