    Notes: Besides group A (GAS), Lancefield group C β-haemolytic streptococci (GCS) have been implicated as a causative agent in outbreaks of purulent pharyngitis. In this study we have investigated a class CI M protein of a Streptococcus dysgalactiae human wound isolate designated MC. MC shares similar properties with M proteins of GAS. It contributes to the virulence of the investigated GCS strain as revealed by in vivo phagocytosis in chicken embryos. Further, MC showed multiple binding to the human plasma proteins fibrinogen, albumin, plasminogen, IgA and all subclasses of IgG. Until now, an M protein, especially from a group C strain, with such a multiple binding behaviour has not been described. Immunoblot experiments with 150 patient sera, having a rheumatoid factor titre 〉1:256, revealed that 26% of these sera showed serological cross-reactivity between a 68-kDa cartilage protein and the N-terminal part of MC. Only 8% of the sera of healthy patients showed this property. In additional, MC also cross-reacted with antibodies recognising epidermal keratins. The cross-reacting 68-kDa protein from cartilage was different from human serum albumin, but was recognised with anti-vimentin immune serum. The MC was cloned and the gene sequenced. By using PCR, recombinant gene fragments encoding characteristic peptide fragments of MC were expressed in Escherichia coli. The peptides were used to map the binding sites for plasma proteins and to locate the cross-reacting epitopes on the MC molecule. In consequence, sequence alignments revealed that MC shared homologous regions with vimentin and different keratins. Our data, obtained with MC, suggest that not only infections with GAS but also infections with GCS and possibly GGS (the latter species can also produce class CI M-like proteins) may be responsible for the formation of streptococcal-associated sequel diseases.

    Notes: The biodegradation of monochlorobenzene, the main contaminant in a quaternary aquifer at Bitterfeld, Central Germany, was studied in microcosm experiments employing either original groundwater or defined mineral media together with the indigenous microbial community from the polluted site. The impact of consecutive aerobic–anaerobic–aerobic incubations on monochlorobenzene biodegradation, microbial diversity, and pH development was examined. The related changes in microbial community composition were analyzed by 16S rRNA gene-based single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) fingerprints and sequencing of dominant bands and by quantitative analysis of bacterial respiratory chain quinones as biomarkers. Under aerobic conditions, the indigenous microbial community of the groundwater degraded monochlorobenzene mainly via the modified ortho-pathway. Respiratory chain quinones and SSCP analysis suggested dominance of the genera Acidovorax and Pseudomonas. A shift to anoxic conditions resulted in monochlorobenzene biotransformation but no dechlorination. The ability to degrade monochlorobenzene aerobically remained preserved throughout a fortnightly anoxic period at sufficiently high buffer capacity. Acidification, caused by monochlorobenzene biodegradation, was alkalinity-controlled. At low initial alkalinity a substantial decrease in pH, monochlorobenzene degradation, and total counts of live cells, accompanied by a change of the microbial community composition, was observed.

    Notes: Reaction of gluconolactone 2 with allylmagnesium bromide at low temperatures afforded ketopyranose 3, which could easily be converted into open-chain ketoses (R)-6 and (S)-6. Their reaction with lithioacetylide 9 afforded propargylic alcohol derivatives (R)-10 and (S)-10, which could not be cyclized directly to the desired C-ketosides. They were converted by standard procedures into (R)-14 and (S)-14 and then into dicobalthexacarbonyl complexes (R)-16 and (S)-16. A facile acid-catalyzed ring closure gave the desired C-ketosides (R)-18 α/β and (S)-18α/β, respectively, in different ratios. In order to demonstrate that removal of the protective groups and hydrogenation of the CC triple bond proceed smoothly, (R)-18 α was transformed into the deprotected target molecule (R)-1 α. For the assignment of the new chiral centers at C-2/2′ and at C-8, (S)-18α was transformed into azido derivative (S)-22α, which underwent intramolecular cycloaddition to afford the spiro derivative (S)-25α. Because of the conformational constraints in this molecule, unequivocal configurational assignment was possible with the help of NMR data.

    Notes: -D-Glucurono-3,6-lactone and L-cysteine combine in a highly stereoselective manner to give the 7,5-bicyclic thiazolidinlactam 2. The α-hydroxy group of the D-glucurono-3,6-lactone was exchanged for an amino function (to give 13) and, after condensation with L-cysteine methyl ester, the polyol dipeptide 7 was obtained. Peptide couplings proceed without the need to protect the three secondary hydroxy groups of the seven-membered ring. The amino group of 7 was deprotected and selectively elongated to the pseudo-tripeptide 16. The depsipeptide 17 was obtained by condensation of Boc-Ala-OH with the polyol 2. Elongation at the carboxy terminus yielded 19 and 20. The bicyclic scaffold populates a well-defined solution conformation; the hydroxy groups mimic the side chains of hydrophilic amino acids and can be further functionalized.

    Notes: Chiral carbene complexes [Cp(CO)2Mn=C(OR*)Ph] (4a-e) were prepared by reaction of [Cp(CO)2Mn=C(OAc)Ph] (2) with HOR* [HOR* = 1,2:3,4-di-O-isopropylidene-D-galactopyranose (3a), 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-D-galactopyranose (3b), 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-D-glucopyranose (3c), (S)- (3d) and (R)-1,2-O-isopropylideneglycerol (3e)]. The replacement of a CO ligand with PTol3 in 4a-e proceeded diastereoselectively to give [Cp(CO)(PTol3)Mn=C(OR*)Ph] (5a-e). The diastereoselectivity increased in the order a, b, c, d: de = 8% (5a), 33% (5b), 70% (5c), 〉 96% (5d). For (R)-5d the isomer with the (S) configuration at manganese (SMn) was formed predominantly. For (S)-5d, only (RMn,S)-5d was detected (de 〉 96%). Photolysis of (R)-4d in the presence of phosphites or phosphanes afforded (SMn)-[Cp(CO)(PR3)Mn=C(OR*)Ph] [PR3 = P(OPh)3 (8), P(OMe)3 (9), P(OMe)2Ph (10), P(OMe)Ph2 (11), PPh3 (12), P(C6H4Cl-p)3 (13)] with a de 〉 96%. Photolysis of (S)-4d in the presence of P(OMe)3 gave (RMn,S)-9. Complex (R)-14 [related to (R)-4d] was obtained from [Cp(CO)2Mn=C(OAc)Tol-p] and 3d. Replacement of CO by PR3 in (R)-14 gave (SMn,R)-[Cp(CO)(PR3)Mn=C(OR*)Tol-p] [R = Tol-p (15), OMe (16), C6H4Cl-p (17)] with a de 〉 96%. In solution, the PTol3-substituted complex 5d is configurationally stable whereas the P(OMe)3 complex 9 epimerizes slowly at room temperature in CH2Cl2, Et2O, and THF within about one week.

    Notes: The paper describes the regioselective esterification of a glucopyranoside and glucose derivative with 11-methacryloylaminoundecanoic acid in the presence of a lipase from Candida antarctica. The obtained modified sugar derivatives 6-O-(11-methacryloylaminoundecanoyl)-1-O-methyl-α-D-glucopyranoside (3 a) and 6-O-(11-methacryloylaminoundecanoyl)-3-O-methyl-α-D-glucopyranose (3 b) were polymerized radically with AIBN as initiator.

    Notes: Several monomeric and dimeric Lewis glycolipids have been investigated by NMR spectroscopy, and structural aspects were modelled by computer. From the pseudo-C2-symmetric tetrasaccharide unit that forms the recognition domain of the Lewis Y and Lewis b antigens, a totally C2-symmetric tetrasaccharide was designed that contains the structural element common to all Lewis antigens. Finally, a model for the presentation of dimeric Lewis antigens at membrane surfaces was derived. The overall shapes of the dimeric Lewis oligosaccharides are defined by the connectivity of the sugar residues within rigid tri- and tetrasaccharide building blocks.
