    Notes: Abstract Copolyesters composed of aliphatic and aromatic compounds were synthesized by the polycondensation of 1,2-ethanediol, 1,3-propanediol, 1,4-butanediol, sebacic acid, adipic acid, and terephthalic acid. By applying an appropriate ratio of aliphatic to aromatic acids, the synthesized materials proved to be biodegradable, as was verified by several degradation test methods such as aqueous polymer suspension inoculated by a soil eluate (Sturm test), a soil burial test (at ambient temperature), and a composting simulation test at 60°C. The degradability of the polyester-copolymers (measured as weight loss) was investigated with respect to the aliphatic monomer components and the fraction of terephthalic acid. Excellent biodegradability was observed even for copolymers with a content of terephthalic acid up to 56 mol% (of the acid fraction) and melting points in the range up to 140°C. Degradation by chemical hydrolysis of the polyesters was determined independently and was found to facilitate microbial attack significantly only at higher temperatures. The findings demonstrate that biodegradable polymers with advantageous usage properties can easily be manufactured by conventional techniques from commodity chemicals (adipic acid, terephthalic acid, and ethylene glycol or 1,4-butanediol).

    Notes: Abstract Two-dimensional analyses of mitochondrial proteins of Brassica napus revealed a set of differences in patterns of mitochondrial matrix proteins isolated from different nuclear backgrounds. One of these varying proteins was identified as mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase (mMDH; EC 1.1.1.37) by homology analyses of the partial amino acid sequence. Immunological detection identified additional mMDH subunits and detected different patterns of mMDH subunits in two distinct mitochondria types although they were isolated from plants with the same nuclear genotype. These differences are also reflected in isozym patterns, whereas Southern analyses showed no alteration in genome structure. Therefore mitochondria type-specific mMDH modifications are possible.
