2014 A transition between a smectic A phase and a smectic A antiphase (SÃ) is observed for the first time in a pure compound : the nitrobenzoyloxybenzoate of heptylphenyl. So far, the anomalies of periodicities which are connected to this type of transition were only detected in cyano systems. Moreover, the solid phase of the inferior homologue of this nitro series is surprisingly influenced by...

The title zinc bis(thiosemicarbazone) complex, [Zn(C 22 H 17 N 4 O 2 S) ], comprises two , S -donor anions, leading to a distorted tetrahedral donor set. resultant five-membered chelate rings are nearly planar and form dihedral angle of 73.28 (3)°. configurations about the endocyclic- exocyclic-imine bonds Z E respectively, that ethylene bond is . major differences in conformations ligands seen...

a series of new 2-(phenylthio) benzoylaryl hydrazones were synthesized by acid-catalyzed condensation of hydrazide 3 with corresponding aldehydes. the chemical structures of the compounds were elucidated by ft-ir, 1h-nmr and mass spectra. all newly synthesized compounds were evaluated for their antimycobacterial activities against mycobacterium tuberculosis h37rv using the microplate alamar blu...

Wet oxidation of phenol over an Fe/activated carbon catalyst has been studied in a trickle-bed reactor in the following operational window: inlet C phenol=0.5 and 1 g/L, T=100-127 ◦C, PT=3-8 atm, W=0-4.8 g, QL=0.125-2 mL/min and QO2=91.6 NmL/min. The experiments were carried out in the absence of mass transfer limitations. Oxidation and mineralization reactions of phenol are proven to take plac...

Several floc-forming bacteria and phenol-decomposing bacteria were isolated from a phenol-adapted activated sludge. Strain No. 12 was the best floc-former and the ratio of flocculated cells to total cells was 90 or more. A model floc was formed by the mixed culture of the strain No. 12 and No. 3, which was one of representative strains of phenoldecomposing bacteria. This model floc can successf...

Mutagenic activity and DNA interca]ation were examined for 9-aminoacridine (9-AA) and its deriyatiyes. Introduction of a nitro group into the 9-AA molecule was found to enhance the actiyity enormously as was detected by the Ames test. Acetylation of amino group at 9-position of acridine ring inhibited the intercalation, the frameshift activity disappearing. Rat liyer S9 conyerted 9-AA metabolic...

In the present study, the removal of phenol from synthetic wastewater was evaluated in a fixed bed reactor with up flow sludge blanket filtration (FUSBF) in comparison with a typical USBF system. At hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 24 hours and solid retention time (SRT) of 20 day, the effect of initial concentration of phenol (260-1020 mg/L) on phenol and chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal ...

In a previous communication, Sheets et al. (1954) have shown that three phenol-resistant organisms, a sporeforming rod, a coccus and a short rod, belonging to the genera Bacillus, Micrococcus and Pseudomonas respectively, were isolated from a trickling filter, operated continuously at 54 C for the treatment of phenolic wastes. The Pseudomonas-like rod predominated over the other two types. A pu...

As reported, the two-component system ColRS is involved in two completely different processes. It facilitates the root colonization ability of Pseudomonas fluorescens and is necessary for the Tn4652 transposition-dependent accumulation of phenol-utilizing mutants in Pseudomonas putida. To determine the role of the ColRS system in P. putida, we searched for target genes of response regulator Col...
