A unique class of chlorate-resistant mutants of Escherichia coli which produced formate hydrogenlyase and nitrate reductase activities only when grown in medium with limiting amounts of sulfur compounds was isolated. These mutants failed to produce the two molybdoenzyme activities when cultured in rich medium or glucose-minimal medium. The mutations in these mutants were localized in the moeA g...

Molybdenum-containing enzymes, aldehyde oxidase and xanthine oxidase, are important in the oxidation of N-heterocyclic xenobiotics. However, the role of these enzymes in the oxidation of drug-derived aldehydes has not been established. The present investigation describes the interaction of eleven structurally related benzaldehydes with guinea pig liver aldehyde oxidase and bovine milk xanthine ...

We evaluated the effect of several compounds on their ability to reduce the production of sul®de in in vitro ruminal fermentations, when sulfur content of the diet was 1% (dry matter basis). Excess sulfur increased (p<0.05) ruminal sul®de production, but had no effects on VFA production. The effect of 1, 10 and 25 ppm ( ̄uid basis) of 9,10 anthraquinone (AQ) and molybdenum in high sulfur diets w...

Two new heterogenized epoxidation nanocatalysts based on molybdenum and tungsten compounds were prepared withcovalent grafting of MCM-41 with 3-aminoropropyl trimethoxysilane and subsequent reaction with diphenylphosphinobenzaldehyde and complexation with M (Mo, W)O2(acac)2. X-ray diffraction and nitrogen sorption analyses revealed the preservation of the textural properti...

p-tert-Butyltetrathiatetramercaptocalix[4]arene, [S(4)Calix(Bu(t))(SH)(4)], reacts with Mo(PMe(3))(6), W(PMe(3))(4)(eta(2)-CH(2)PMe(2))H and Ni(PMe(3))(4) to yield molybdenum, tungsten and nickel compounds in a sulfur-rich coordination environment.

New magnetic composites based on metallic nickel and molybdenum carbide, Ni/Mo(2)C, have been produced via catalytic chemical vapor deposition from ethanol. Scanning electron microscopy, thermal analysis, Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction studies suggest that the CVD process occurs in a single step. This process involves the reduction of NiMo oxides at different temperatures (700, 800 an...
