    Notes: Abstract We have investigated the IR reflection spectra of ferroelectric ceramics based on solid solutions of lead zirconate-titanate with a rhombohedral structure obtained by high-pressure cold precompaction. In the 55–65-cm−1 frequency range, we have revealed by experiment that the “soft” ferroelectric-active mode for the ceramics compacted by a higher pressure under the conditions of cold compaction is shifted into the region of lower frequencies. For the ceramics precompacted at various pressures, we have determined the frequencies of longitudinal and transverse phonons and calculated the frequency dependences of the imaginary and real parts of the dielectric constant.

    Notes: Abstract The mitochondrial ATP synthase is a molecular motor that drives the phosphorylation ofADP to ATP. The yeast mitochondrial ATP synthase is composed of at least 19 differentpeptides, which comprise the F1 catalytic domain, the F0 proton pore, and two stalks, oneof which is thought to act as a stator to link and hold F1 to F0, and the other as a rotor.Genetic studies using yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae have suggested the hypothesis thatthe yeast mitochondrial ATP synthase can be assembled in the absence of 1, and even 2, ofthe polypeptides that are thought to comprise the rotor. However, the enzyme complexassembled in the absence of the rotor is thought to be uncoupled, allowing protons to freelyflow through F0 into the mitochondrial matrix. Left uncontrolled, this is a lethal process andthe cell must eliminate this leak if it is to survive. In yeast, the cell is thought to lose ordelete its mitochondrial DNA (the petite mutation) thereby eliminating the genes encodingessential components of F0. Recent biochemical studies in yeast, and prior studies in E. coli,have provided support for the assembly of a partial ATP synthase in which the ATP synthaseis no longer coupled to proton translocation.

    Notes: Abstract Single crystals of HgBa2Ca2Cu3O8+δ compound with partial substitution of Sr and Pb have been grown at high gas pressure. Bond valence sum calculations show that the substitution of Sr for Ba leads to a more homogeneous distribution of holes between nonequivalent CuO2 planes. In nonsubstituted crystals, the density of holes is significantly higher in the inner CuO2 planes. The irreversibility field increases on Sr substitution. The thickness of the charge reservoir decreases with Sr substitution by 0.7 Å.

    Notes: Abstract The localized-itinerant and Mott–Hubbard transitions in single-valent perovskites are distinguished. The approach to the Mott–Hubbard transition from the itinerant-electron side is characterized by the appearance of strong-correlation fluctuations within a metallic matrix; these fluctuations introduce a Curie–Weiss paramagnetism that is added to a strongly enhanced Pauli paramagnetism. As the critical bandwidth is approached, ordering of the strong-correlation fluctuations into a charge-density wave (CDW) may compete with a global Mott-Hubbard transition. The approach to the localized-itinerant electronic transition from the localized-electron side is illustrated by LaMnO3, where orbital ordering localizes the electrons of e-orbital parentage. In the mixed-valent La1−x Sr x MnO3 system, the doped holes evolve from small polarons to two-manganese Zener polarons to itinerant-electron behavior. The Zener polarons order at low temperatures into a CDW.

    Notes: Abstract In this paper we present a new experimental apparatus designed to measure pressure–density–temperature (pρT ) properties with a high-pressure vibrating tube densimeter. Data reliability has been verified by comparing our experimental results for methanol, n-heptane, toluene, and HFC-134a with literature data. In this work we also report new experimental densities from 278.15 to 328.15 K, and up to 12 MPa, of triethylene glycol dimethylether (TrEGDME) and tetraethylene glycol dimethylether (TEGDME). The isobaric thermal expansion coefficients, isothermal compressibility, and internal pressure have been calculated. The dependence of these properties on the length of polyethylene glycol dimethylether, CH3O–((CH2)2O) n –CH3, is analyzed.

    Notes: Abstract New high-pressure devices based on the use of sapphire anvils now allow single-crystal neutron diffraction experiments to be performed up to P=8–10 GPa. After giving a brief overview of the technique, we present its application to the study of pressure-induced valence instabilities in Tm monochalcogenides (TmX, X: S, Se, Te). A variety of new magnetic phases have been characterized, yielding a consistent picture of the evolution of magnetism through the series. The results indicate a striking interplay between magnetic order taking place at low temperature and different types of electronic ground states (classical semiconductor, narrow-gap Kondo insulator, metallic Kondo lattice, etc.) inferred from the transport properties.

    Notes: Abstract Numerous recent developments in diamond-cell techniques are making possible a growing range of studies of the electronic and magnetic properties of materials to megabar pressures. We review recent advances in this area, including magnetic susceptibility, electrical conductivity, and synchrotron-based spectroscopic techniques. Highly sensitive magnetic susceptibility techniques have allowed the first observations of superconductivity at megabar pressures, including the observation of a Tc of 17 K in sulfur at 160 GPa, and a nearly pressure-independent Tc to above 230 GPa. The technique has recently been extended to allow measurements of the magnetic properties of ferromagnetic substances. Advances in the direct measurement of electrical conductivity using miniaturized leads have permitted measurements on H2O and Xe to above 100 GPa. Pressure-induced high-spin to low-spin transitions have been examined in FeS and FeO using new high-resolution X-ray emission techniques. New high-pressure inelastic scattering methods, including nuclear inelastic scattering techniques, have been used to determine the phonon density of states of Fe to above 150 GPa.

    Notes: Abstract The infrared spectrum of CaAl2Si2O7 · H2O-lawsonite, has been characterized to pressures of 20 GPa at 300 K. Our results constrain the response to compression of the silicate tetrahedra, hydroxyl units, and water molecules in this material. The asymmetric and symmetric stretching and bending vibrations of the Si2O7 groups (at zero pressure frequencies between 600 and 1000 cm−1) increase in frequency with pressure at rates between 3.6 and 5.9 cm−1/GPa. All silicate modes appear to shift continuously with pressure to 20 GPa, although the lowest frequency stretching vibration becomes unresolvable above 18 GPa, and a splitting of the main bending vibration is observed near this pressure. The O-H stretches of the hydroxyl units exhibit a discontinuity in their mode shifts at ∼8–9 GPa, which we interpret to be produced by a pressure-induced change in hydrogen bonding. The stretching and bending vibrations of the water molecule are relatively unaffected by compression to 20 GPa, thus demonstrating that the structural cavities in which water molecules reside are relatively rigid. Significant changes in the amplitude of the O-H stretches of the hydroxyl and water units are observed at this pressure as well; nevertheless, our results demonstrate that the dominant structural units in lawsonite persist metastably at 300 K with only modest structural modifications well beyond the known stability field of this phase.

    Notes: Abstract The crystal structure of mitochondrial F1-ATPase indicatesthat the α and β subunits fold into a structure defined by threedomains: the top β-barrel domain, the middle nucleotide-binding domain,and the C-terminal α-helix bundle domain (Abraham et al.1994); Bianchet et al., 1998). The β-barrel domains of theα and β subunits form a crown structure at the top ofF1, which was suggested to stabilize it (Abraham et al.1994). In this study. the role of the β-barrel domain in the α andβ subunits of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae F1,with regard to its folding and assembly, was investigated. The β-barreldomains of yeast F1 α and β subunits were expressedindividually and together in Escherichia coli. When expressedseperately, the β-barrel domain of the β subunit formed a largeaggregate structure, while the domain of the α subunit waspredominately a monomer or dimer. However, coexpression of the β-barreldomain of α subunit domain. Furthermore, the two domains copurified incomplexes with the major portion of the complex found in a small molecularweight form. These results indicate that the β-barrel domain of theα and β subunits interact specifically with each other and thatthese interactions prevent the aggregation of the β-barrel domain of theβ subunit. These results mimic in vivo results and suggest thatthe interactions of the β-barrel domains may be critical during thefolding and assembly of F1.

    Notes: Abstract Trichothecin-resistant mutants were isolated from saké yeast. These mutants were subjected to saké brewing, and showed a higher ethanol productivity than did the parents. They showed multidrug resistance, and resistance to organic compounds. We considered that the higher ethanol productivity of the mutants was related to their resistance to organic compounds and to their ethanol tolerance.

    Notes: Abstract Measurements of the thermal conductivity of HFC-125 that have been made by a coaxial cylinder cell operating in steady state are reported. The measurements of the thermal conductivity of HFC-125 were performed along several quasi-isotherms between 300 and 515 K in the gas phase and the liquid phase. The pressure range covered varies from 0.1 to 53 MPa. Based on the measurement of more than 600 points, an empirical equation is provided to describe the thermal conductivity outside the critical region as a function of temperature and density. A careful analysis of the various sources of error leads to an estimated uncertainty of approximately ± 1.5%.

    Notes: Abstract A thermodynamic property formulation for standard dry air based upon experimental P–ρ–T, heat capacity, and speed of sound data and predicted values, which extends the range of prior formulations to higher pressures and temperatures, is presented. This formulation is valid for temperatures from the solidification temperature at the bubble point curve (59.75 K) to 2000 K at pressures up to 2000 MPa. In the absence of experimental air data above 873 K and 70 MPa, air properties were predicted from nitrogen data. These values were included in the fit to extend the range of the fundamental equation. Experimental shock tube measurements ensure reasonable extrapolated properties up to temperatures and pressures of 5000 K and 28 GPa. In the range from the solidification point to 873 K at pressures to 70 MPa, the estimated uncertainty of density values calculated with the fundamental equation for the vapor is ±0.1%. The uncertainty in calculated liquid densities is ±0.2%. The estimated uncertainty of calculated heat capacities is ±1% and that for calculated speed of sound values is ±0.2%. At temperatures above 873 K and 70 MPa, the estimated uncertainty of calculated density values is ±0.5%, increasing to ±1% at 2000 K and 2000 MPa.

    Notes: Abstract The melting points of uranium dioxide, tungsten, and graphite were measured as a function of the isostatic pressure up to 2000 bar (200 MPa), in a laser-heated autoclave filled with inert gas. The measured melting curves and their slopes were compared with predictions obtained from the Clausius–Clapeyron equation and existing thermochemical data of these substances. While for tungsten and graphite the results show reasonable agreement with the equilibrium thermodynamic calculations, the melting point of UO2 increases with pressure with a slope more than three times larger than expected.

    Topics: Physics
    Notes: Abstract Two experimental approaches dealing with the determination of melting at high static pressures are described and analyzed. With the sample squeezed inside a diamond anvil cell, high temperatures up to the solid–liquid transition are obtained using Nd:YAG laser heating. Two methods have been investigated. In the first technique, the heating is accomplished with a pulsed laser and the brief radiation variations (t〈10 ms) emitted from the sample are recorded with two high-speed infrared detectors. The melting location is defined by a plateau or changes of slope of the signals, and the temperatures are calculated by assuming a constant value of emissivity factor at the end of the transition over the studied pressure range. The second system employs a continuous laser and a two-dimensional CCD detector to measure temperatures using multispectral pyrometry. Melting is detected from criteria related either to textural change in the sample involving interference contrast under a laser illumination or to the specific variations of temperature and emissivity as a function of laser power. Thermal radiation is fitted to Planck's law with temperature and emissivity as the free parameters. Advantages and drawbacks are presented from results obtained on pure uranium.

    Notes: Abstract The static relative permittivity (dielectric constant) and the resistivity of HFC-236ea (CF3–CHF–CHF2) and HFC-245fa (CF3–CH2–CHF2) in the liquid phase were studied at temperatures from 293 to 343 K and pressures from 0.1 to 50 MPa. The relative permittivity was measured by a concentric-cylinder-type capacitance cell with an LCR meter with an uncertainty of less than 0.1%. The resistivity was measured by a high resistance meter using plane-parallel platinum electrodes installed in a borosilicate glass syringe. It was found that the relative permittivities and the resistivities of liquid HFC-236ea and HFC-245fa at 303 K and 0.101325 MPa are about 5.13 and 6.54 and 1.5×1010 and 0.2×1010 Ω·cm, respectively. The relative permittivity and the resistivity increase monotonically with increasing pressure and decreasing temperature.

    Notes: Abstract Accurate high-pressure thermal conductivity measurements have been performed on H2O+SrCl2 and H2O+Sr(NO3)2 mixtures at pressures up to 100 MPa over a temperature range between 293 and 473 K using a parallel-plate apparatus. The concentrations studied were 0.025, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, and 0.20 mass fraction of the salts. The estimated accuracy of the method is about ±1.6%. The pressure, temperature, and concentration dependences of the thermal conductivity have been studied. Measurements were made on six isobars, namely, 0.1, 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100 MPa. The thermal conductivity shows a linear dependence on pressure and concentration for all isotherms. Along each isobar, a given concentration shows the thermal-conductivity maximum at a temperature of about 413 K. The measured values of thermal conductivity at atmospheric pressure are compared with the results of other investigators. Literature data at atmospheric pressure reported by Ridel and by Zaitzev and Aseev agree with our thermal conductivity values within the estimated uncertainty.

    Notes: Abstract Previous investigations have revealed a considerable difference between the spectral behavior of a molecule in a pure substance and that in a mixture. To gain more insight into the influence of the intermolecular interaction and of the mass of the molecules, we performed high-resolution measurements of the linewidths and peak positions of the vibrational Raman spectrum of pure nitrogen, nitrogen in argon, and nitrogen in helium. The research was carried out at room temperature and at pressures up to the melting line. It turns out that, in contrast with expectation, the linewidth as well as the frequency shift is essentially the same for pure nitrogen as for nitrogen diluted in argon, although both the mass and the potential well depth are quite different. The experimental results show the same tendency as recent computer simulations.

    Notes: Abstract Wire-shaped gold specimens are placed in a new, improved high-pressure vessel, which is part of a fast capacitor-discharge circuit and in which static pressures above 600 MPa can be reached with distilled water as the pressure-transmitting medium. The specimens are self-heated resistively by a current pulse. The current through the specimen, the voltage drop across it, and its temperature are recorded as a function of time with submicrosecond resolution. The radial expansion of the specimen is determined with a CCD camera, Experiments are performed at different pressures. When the critical pressure is exceeded, there is no liquid–gas phase transition; hence, no sudden change in the thermal expansion rate is observed. The results for temperature, pressure, and specific volume at the critical point of gold are as follows: T c =7400±1100 K, p c=530±20 MPa, and v c=0.13±0.03 × 10−3m3·kg−1.

    Notes: Abstract A facility is described that allows safe handling of high tritium gas activity as dozens kilocuries in a regular laboratory environment. It is used to make and deliver into the target a mixture of specific isotopic composition with the contamination requirement of 10-7 v.f. for Z〉1 elements, and recover it upon completion of operation. With this facility, efforts have been accomplished to investigate into the muon catalyzed fusion on two targets – liquid tritium and high-pressure tritium types. Also, the operation range was 0.1–120 MPa for pressure and 20–800 K for temperature and the amount of tritium used was about 100 kCi. The facility showed reliability in operation without indications of radiation beyond the safety level.

    Notes: Abstract The nuclear forward scattering (NFS) of synchrotron radiation is especially suited for probing magnetism at high pressure (h.p.), here in the Mbar range, by the nuclear resonances of 57Fe and 151Eu. We report on high-pressure NFS studies with the 14.4 keV transition of 57Fe, presenting at first the pressure induced α–ε transformation in iron. Then a systematic study of magnetic RFe2 Laves phases of cubic C15 structure (YFe2, GdFe2) and hexagonal C14 structure (ScFe2, TiFe2) at pressures up to 100 GPa (= 1 Mbar) is given. First, high-pressure NFS studies performed with the 21.5 keV resonance of 151Eu are also presented, probing valence transitions in EuNi2Ge2 and the magnetism in the CsCl-type h.p. phase of EuTe. Finally, we discuss future applications, such as high-pressure studies of phonon densities of states, using the inelastic channel of nuclear scattering of synchrotron radiation.

    Notes: Abstract A fusion gene containing the Bacillus subtilis α-amylase gene and Aspergillus awamori glucoamylase cDNA was expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The resulting bifunctional fusion protein having both α-amylase and glucoamylase activities secreted into the culture medium was purified to apparent homogeneity by affinity chromatography and gel filtration on Sephadex G-100. The enzyme had an apparent molecular mass of 150 kDa and showed an optimum pH and temperature of 6.0 and 60 °C, respectively. The main hydrolysis products from soluble starch were glucose and maltose.

    Notes: Abstract Single crystals of Hg-12(n−l) have been grown using high-pressure gas-technique. Due to the high density of Ar gas at 10 kbar the evaporation of Hg is strongly suppresed. An influence of structure defects on magnetic properties will be discussed. Superconducting parameters λ ab ,ξ ab and γ have been studied using torque magnetometry. Layers of Hg-1201 compound have been grown from flux.

    Notes: Abstract The capacity to produce 2,3-butanediol by 90 strains of four different species of wine yeasts (Kloeckera apiculata, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Saccharomycodes ludwigii, Zygosaccharomyces bailii) was tested in grape must by automated multiple development HPTLC. The total amount of 2,3-butanediol produced varied between 23mg l−1 and 857.7mg l−1 according to the yeast species. S. cerevisiae and Z. bailii behaved similarly, producing elevated amounts of 2,3-butanediol. K. apiculata and Sc. ludwigii, in contrast, were low producers. When considerable amounts of 2,3-butanediol were found, little acetoin was present; the amounts of butanediol and acetoin were characteristic of the individual species.

    Notes: Abstract The dynamic viscosity η and the density ρ of three pure substances (water, 2-propanol, diacetone alcohol) and the three associated binaries were measured versus temperature T (303.15, 323.15, and 343.15 K) and pressure P. For the binary systems the mole fractions x of each component were, successively, 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, and 1. For viscosity the experimental results (P≤100 MPa) represent a total of 540 data points: 54 for the pure substances and 486 for the binary mixtures (x≠0 and x≠1). For density the experimental results (P≤70 MPa) represent 1260 values: 126 for the pure substances and 1134 for the binary mixtures (x≠0 and x≠1). The mixtures with water are highly associative and the curves for the variation of η with composition exhibit a maxima. The variations of the excess activation energy of viscous flow ΔG E are discussed. Moreover, the measurements of ρ are sufficiently accurate to determine the excess volumes V E versus pressure, temperature, and composition.

The experimental results correspond to 698 values of η and ρ. With reference to the 54 values previously published on pure substances and 486 values for three corresponding binaries, the system is globally described by 1188 experimental values for various values of P, T and composition. The results for η are discussed in terms of excess activation energy of viscous flow.

    Notes: Abstract Viscosities of several alcohol–ethene and vinyl acetate–ethene mixtures were measured with a rolling-ball viscometer. The viscosity measurements were performed at temperatures from 298 to 413 K and pressures up to 195 MPa with an estimated uncertainty of ±2%. The appearance of hydrogen bonds forming alcohol associates has a notable effect on the viscosity of alcohol–ethene mixtures above an alcohol mole fraction of about 0.2. This could be noticed from the deviation of the viscosity from the Arrhenius law, which occurs when alcohol associates are formed. An effect of pressure on the association of alcohol molecules through hydrogen bonding was not observable from the viscosity data. A new method for the description of the temperature- and pressure-dependent parameters in the McAllister and Dizechi models is proposed.

    Notes: Abstract Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Torulaspora delbrueckii were grown under different O2 availabilities on grape must. Oxygen requirements for the two yeasts were different: under anaerobic conditions, S. cerevisiae produced a higher percentage of unsaturated fatty acids, and had a greater cell yield and fermentation activity than T. delbrueckii. Addition of ergosterol (25mg/l) and oleic acid (31mg/l) caused total recovery of cellular growth and the fermentation activity of S. cerevisiae in anaerobiosis, but not of T. delbrueckii. However a short period of aeration to a 48 h culture in anaerobiosis, led to total recovery of the cellular growth and fermentation activity in both yeasts. Likewise, the effect of a short aeration period on unsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis was similar for both species.

    Notes: Abstract A new micromanipulation technique which has previously been used to measure the mechanical properties of single animal cells has now been applied to yeast cells. In this study this technique was used to measure yeast cell strength and cell size across a 2l batch fermentation. Alternatively the cell size could also be determined using a Coulter counter while cell measurement was diluted with a conducting fluid (Isoton II). For the cell strength, it was found that the osmotic pressure of diluents did affect cell strength. However, it was also found that there was no significant effect of osmotic pressure of diluents on cell size whether a Coulter counter or micromanipulation was used for measurement. Micromanipulation has been shown to be a powerful technique for measuring the mechanical properties of yeast cells and it will be very useful for studying their behaviour in cell disruption equipment, e.g. high-pressure homogenizers.

    Notes: Abstract Mutants resistant to the amino acid analogues dl-thiaisoleucine, dl-4-azaleucine, 5,5,5-trifluoro-dl-leucine and l-O-methylthreonine, were isolated from Saccharomyces cerevisiae wine yeast strains. The fermentative production of secondary metabolites by the mutants was tested in grape must. Higher alcohols, acetaldehyde and acetic acid concentration varied depending on strain and analogue. Most of the mutants produced increased amounts of amyl alcohol. A remarkable variability in the level of n-propanol, isobutanol, acetaldehyde and acetic acid was observed. In practical application, the use of mutants resistant to amino acid analogues can improve the quality of wines by reducing or increasing the presence of some secondary compounds.

    Notes: Abstract The laboratory strain of S. cerevisiae, IM1-8b, showed pectolytic activity in the presence of either glucose, fructose, or sucrose as the carbon source, but not with galactose. The enzyme activity was rapidly lost with shaking. The optimum pH and temperature for activity were 4.5 and 45°C, respectively. The enzyme was an endopolygalacturonase, since it preferentially hydrolysed pectate over pectin and decreased the viscosity of a 5% polygalacturonic solution by about 30% in 30min producing oligogalacturonic acid and digalacturonic acid as end-products.

    Notes: Abstract The behavior ofp-nitrotoluene adsorbed at zeolite/n-heptane interface has been investigated by the electronic spectroscopy under pressure up to 300 MPa. The uv-vis absorption bands of adsorbedp-nitrotoluene were deconvoluted into ones for the species adsorbed on the cation sites, and one for that on the pore wall of zeolite. The peak of adsorbed species on the cation site red-shifted by 20–80 nm from the position of the same species in the liquid phase, and their magnitudes of shift depended on the strength of electric field generated by the cation in zeolites. The peak intensities of adsorbed species on the cation site were enhanced but these or the pore wall site were reduced with the increase in pressure, suggesting that a part ofp-nitroluene molecules on the pore wall site desorbed and the adsorption on the cation site was enhanced by compression. The pressure dependence of peak intensity indicated that the behavior of this adsorption system was strongly governed by the solvation structure of the adsorbate in the zeolite pore. In particular, it was found that the adsorption of solvent molecules on the cation site strongly affected the volume change of the adsorption system.

    Notes: Abstract A fermentation medium based on millet (Pennisetum typhoides) flour hydrolysate and a four-phase feeding strategy for fed-batch production of baker's yeast,Saccharomyces cerevisiae, are presented. Millet flour was prepared by dry-milling and sieving of whole grain. A 25% (w/v) flour mash was liquefied with a thermostable 1,4-α-d-glucanohydrolase (EC 3.2.1.1) in the presence of 100 ppm Ca2+, at 80°C, pH 6.1–6.3, for 1 h. The liquefied mash was saccharified with 1,4-α-d-glucan glucohydrolase (EC 3.2.1.3) at 55°C, pH 5.5, for 2 h. An average of 75% of the flour was hydrolysed and about 82% of the hydrolysate was glucose. The feeding profile, which was based on a model with desired specific growth rate range of 0.18–0.23 h−1, biomass yield coefficient of 0.5 g g−1 and feed substrate concentration of 200 g L−1, was implemented manually using the millet flour hydrolysate in test experiments and glucose feed in control experiments. The fermentation off-gas was analyzed on-line by mass spectrometry for the calculation of carbon dioxide production rate, oxygen up-take rate and the respiratory quotient. Off-line determination of biomass, ethanol and glucose were done, respectively, by dry weight, gas chromatography and spectrophotometry. Cell mass concentrations of 49.9–51.9 g L−1 were achieved in all experiments within 27 h of which the last 15 h were in the fedbatch mode. The average biomass yields for the millet flour and glucose media were 0.48 and 0.49 g g−1, respectively. No significant differences were observed between the dough-leavening activities of the products of the test and the control media and a commercial preparation of instant active dry yeast. Millet flour hydrolysate was established to be a satisfactory low cost replacement for glucose in the production of baking quality yeast.

    Notes: Abstract Growth kinetics ofSaccharomyces cerevisiae in glucose syrup from cassava starch and sugarcane molasses were studied using batch and fed-batch cultivation. The optimum temperature and pH required for growth were 30°C and pH 5.5, respectively. In batch culture the productivity and overall cell yield were 0.31 g L−1 h−1 and 0.23 g cells g−1 sugar, respectively, on glucose syrup and 0.22 g L−1 h−1 and 0.18 g cells g−1 sugar, respectively, on molasses. In fed-batch cultivation, a productivity of 3.12 g L−1 h−1 and an overall cell yield of 0.52 g cells g−1 sugar in glucose syrup cultivation and a productivity of 2.33 g L−1 h−1 and an overall cell yield of 0.46 g cells g−1 sugar were achieved in molasses cultivation by controlling the reducing sugar concentration at its optimum level obtained from the fermentation model. By using an on-line ethanol sensor combined with a porous Teflon® tubing method in automating the feeding of substrate in the fed-batch culture, a productivity of 2.15 g L−1 h−1 with a yield of 0.47 g cells g−1 sugar was achieved using glucose syrup as substrate when ethanol concentration was kept at a constant level by automatic control.

Killer-sensitive relationships between a killer reference panel of 24 yeasts belonging to 13 species of six genera, and different industrial wine-starters ofSaccharomyces cerevisiae can be used profitably for a rapid and simple fingerprinting procedure.

    Notes: Abstract Numerous studies have described the yeast biota of grapes, and grape must in order to understand better the succession of yeasts during fermentation of wine. The origin of the wine yeasts has been rather controversial. By using more elaborate isolation methods, classical genetic analysis and electrophoretic karyotyping of monosporic clones, with this study, credible proof now exists that the vineyard is the primary source for the wine yeasts and that strains found on the grapes can be followed through the fermentation process.

    Notes: Abstract Although normal stress differences in liquids have conventionally been associated with polymers, aspects of rheological behavior in lubricated concentrated contacts suggest that normal stress difference may be significant in even low molecular weight liquids sheared under high pressure and high shear stress. A torsional flow rheogoniometer was constructed for use at high (300 MPa) pressure. Four typical liquid lubricants were investigated, including one polymer/mineral oil solution. Shear stress and N 2-N 2 are reported as functions of shear rate. The effect of pressure variation is reported for two liquids. Results are compared with predictive techniques and a molecular dynamics simulation. Simple low molecular weight lubricant base oils can generate measurable and significant normal stress differences when sheared at high shear stress.

The melting parameters of the high-temperature nitrides mentioned above were investigated experimentally in the nitrogen pressure range of 5–200 MPa. The 99% purity nitride samples were prepared in the form of 4 x 4-mm plates with a thickness of 1 mm. The surfaces of samples were heated with stationary laser beam and analyzed by X-ray technique. The brightness temperature of nonmetallic nitrides was measured at 0.633-µm wavelength using the optical pyrometry method. The apparent melting temperatures were found from the analysis of heating and cooling thermograms. Based on the available literature data on normal spectral emmissivity, the true melting temperatures of nonmetallic nitrides were estimated as 3370 K for BN, 3025 K for AIN, and 2775 K for Si3N4.

    Notes: Abstract Wire-shaped zinc samples were resistively volume heated as part of a fast-capacitor discharge circuit. Time-resolved measurements with submicrosecond resolution of the current through the specimen, the voltage drop across it, and the thermal expansion of the specimen as a function of time allow determination of the enthalpy, electrical resistivity, and density at different temperatures up to superheated liquid states of zinc far above the normal boiling point. High static pressures, up to 3800 bar of the ambient medium water, were used. An estimate of the critical pressure for zinc is given by investigations of the stability of the sample with a framing CCD camera, taking pictures of different samples varying the ambient static pressure. The critical volume and the critical temperature are obtained by means of an extrapolation of measured data at different pressures.

    Notes: Abstract A highly efficient multiresolution algorithm has been developed to carry out large-scale molecular dynamics (MD) simulations for systems with long-range Coulomb and three-body covalent interactions. The algorithm combines the reduced cell and fast multipole methods and multiple time-step approach. Pressure-induced structural transformation, loss of intermediate range order, and dynamcal correlations in SiO2, glass are investigated with the moleculardynamics method. At twice the normal density, the Si-O bond length increases, the Si O coordination changes from 4 to 6, and the O-Si-O band-angle changes from 109 to 90°. This is a tetrahedral-to-octahedral transformation, which was reported by Meade, Hemley, and Mao. Results for phonon density of states also reveal significant changes at high pressures. The multiresolution MD approach has been used to investigate the structural properties and mechanical failure in microporous silica. Structural correlations are characterized by the fractal dimension, internal surface area, and pore surface-tovolume ratio. Critical behavior at fracture is analyzed in terms of pore percolation, and kinetic roughening of fractured surface is also investigated.

    Notes: Abstract Five, highly flocculeng strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, isolated from wine, were immobilized in calcium alginate beads to optimize primary must fermentation. Three cell-recycle batch fermentations (CRBF) of grape musts were performed with the biocatalyst and the results compared with those obtained with free cells. During the CRBF process, the entrapped strains showed some variability in the formation of secondary products of fermentation, particularly acetic acid and acetaldehyde. Recycling beads of immobilized flocculent cells is a good approach in the development and application of the CRBF system in the wine industry.

    Notes: Summary A system for production of non-alcohol beer is described. A limited fermentation is carried out with immobilized cells ofSaccharomyces cerevisiae in a packed bed reactor. In the reactor, combined stress factors such as low temperature (2–4°C) and anaerobic conditions limit cell metabolism. Of the available sugars only a small amount of glucose is metabolized, resulting in low concentrations of ethanol (〈0.08%). The absence of oxygen affects the redox balance of the yeast cell, and thus stimulates formation of esters and higher alcohols. Products are formed by reduction of wort aldehydes, as well as reduction of intracellular metabolites. Despite the stress conditions, biomass increases during prolonged production periods. In batch experiments,S. cerevisiae strain W34 grows at low temperatures and a mininum growth temperature of −2 °C was found, indicating that a further reduction of temperature during production will not inhibit growth. The characteristics of the system allow its use in very different applications. Potential applications of the immobilized system are discussed.

    Notes: Summary In order to study and control fermentation processes, indirect on-line measurements and mathematical models can be used. Here an on-line model for fermentation processes is presented. The model is based on atom and partial mass balances as well as on stability equations for the protolytes. The model is given an adaptive form by including transport equations for mass transfer and expressions for the fermentation kinetics. The state of the process can be estimated on-line using the balance component of the model completed with measurement equations for the input and the output flows of the process. Adaptivity is realized by means of on-line estimation of the parameters in the transport and kinetic expressions using recursive regression analysis. On-line estimation of the kinetic and mass transfer parameters makes model-based predictions possible and enables intelligent process control while facilitating testing of the validity of the measurement variables. A practical MS-Windows 3.1 model implementation called FMMS—Fermentation Monitoring and Modeling System is shown. The system makes it easy to configure the operating conditions for a run. It uses Windows dialogs for all set-ups, model configuration parameters, elemental compositions, on-line measurement devices and signal conditioning. Advanced on-line data analysis makes it possible to plot variables against each other for easy comparison. FMMS keeps track of over 100 variables per run. These variables are either measured or estimated by the model. Assay results can also be entered and plotted during fermentation. Thus the model can be verified almost instantly. Historical fermentation runs can be re-analyzed in simulation mode. This makes it possible to examine different signal conditining filters as well as the sensitivity of the model. Combined, the data analysis and the simulation mode make it easy to test and develop model theories and new ideas.

    Notes: Summary Cell suspensions ofSacharomyces cerevisiae, Kloeckera apiculata andCandida stellata were autolyzed in phosphate buffer, pH 4.5, for up to 10 days. Cell dry weights decreased by 25–35% after 10 days. Based on initial cell dry weight, the soluble autolysate consisted of: carbohydrate (principally polysaccharide) 3–7%; organic acids 3–6%; protein 12–13%; free amino acids 8–12%; nucleic acid products 3–5%; and lipids 1–12%. The main organic acids in autolysates were propionic, succinic and acetic and the main amino acids were phenylalanine, glutamic acid, leucine, alanine and arginine. Approximately 85–90% of cellular RNA and 25–40% of cellular DNA were degraded during autolysis. Both neutral lipid and phospholipid components were degraded, with neutral lipids but not phospholipids being found in autolysates. Scanning and transmission electron micrographs showed retention of cell wall structure and shape during autolysis, but there was extensive intracellular disorganization withinS. cerevisiae andC. stellata. There were differences in the autolytic behavior ofK. apiculata compared withS. cerevisiae andC. stellata.

    Notes: Summary Four acid phosphatase (phosphomonoesterase E.C.3.1.3.2) genes, werecloned by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). These were pho3, pho5 and pho11 fromSaccharomyces cerevisiae and the gene for a phosphate-respressible acid phosphatase fromAspergillus niger. The individual genes were subcloned into anA. oryzae expression vector downstream from a starch-inducible α-amylase promoter and the resulting expression constructs were transformed into a mutant strain ofA. oryzae, AO7. Southern hybridization analysis confirmed that the acid phosphatase genes had been integrated into the host genome with estimates of integrated copy numbers ranging from 2 to 20 for individual transformants. Northern hybridization analysis of total RNA from individual transformants revealed the presence of a single transcript of the expected size of 1.8 kb. Production of recombinant protein was induced by the addition of 30 g L−1 of soluble starch in the fermentationmedia. Active acid phosphatases, not present in control cultures, were detected in the supernatant fractions of transformant cultures by acid phosphatase activity staining of non-denaturing polyacrylamide gels. The ability of the recombinant acid phosphatases to hydrolyze phytate was assessed by referenced phytase (myoinositol hexakisphosphate phosphohydrolase E.C. 3.1.3.8) activity assay procedures. A two- to six-fold increase in phytase activity was measured in transformants compared to control, untransformedA. oryzae. Sufficient quantities ofA. niger and pho5 recombinant acid phosphatases were generated from large-scale fermentations to assess the efficacy of these enzymes as phytate-degrading enzymes when included in poultry diets. Data indicated an increase in available phosphorus of 1 g kg−1 obtained with yeast acid phosphatase andA. niger acid phosphatase representing 40% utilization of unavailable dietary P compared to 48% utilization for commercial phytase.

    Notes: Abstract Conditions were optimized for rapid release and improved regeneration of protoplasts ofSaccharomyces cerevisiae NCIM 3458. Rapid protoplast release was also obtained with representatives of several other yeast genera under the modified conditions of treatment. The application of the procedure in construction of a highly flocculentSaccharomyces cerevisiae with a killer character is described. Fusion was effected between UV-killed protoplasts ofS. cerevisiae NCIM 3578 with a killer character and live protoplasts of the highly flocculentS. cerevisiae NCIM 3528 in the presence of polyethylene glycol (PEG) 6000. Fusants were selected using benomyl resistance as marker, the killer toxin producer rather than the highly flocculent yeast being resistant to the fungicide at a concentration of 100 μg ml−1. Fusants were also characterized by their DNA contents, capacity for ethanolic fermentation of molasses sugar and levels of invertase, alcohol dehydrogenase and pyruvate decarboxylase activities.

    Notes: Summary A comparative study has been made of different laboratory and industrial wild-type strains ofSaccharomyces cerevisiae in relation to their flocculation behavior. All strains were inhibited by mannose and only one by maltose. In regard to the stability of these characters in the presence of proteases and high salt concentrations, a relevant degree of variation was found among the strains. This was to such an extent that it did not allow their inclusion in the Flol or NewFlo phenotypes. Genetic characterization of one wild-type strain revealed that the flocculation-governing gene was allelic toFLO1 found in genetic strains.

    Notes: Abstract Great strides have been made in understanding the upper part of the crust by in-situ logging in, and laboratory experiments on core recovered from super-deep bore-holes such as the KTB. These boreholes do not extend into the lower crust, and can contribute little to the elucidation of mechanisms that produce the high electrical conductivities that are commonly observed therein by magneto-telluric (MT) methods. Laboratory studies at simulated lower crustal conditions of temperature, pressure and saturation, on electrolyte saturated rocks thought to have been derived from the lower crust, have not been possible up until now due to their experimental difficulty. It is necessary to subject electrolyte-saturated rock samples to independently controlled confining and pore-fluid pressure, which implies that the rock be sleeved in some impermeable but deformable material, that can withstand the very high temperatures required. Metals are the only materials capable of being used, but these cause great difficulties for cell sealing and conductivity measurement. In this paper we describe recent breakthroughs in experimental work, specifically the development of two new types of sophisticated metal/ceramic seal, and a conductivity measurement technique that enables the measurement of saturated rock conductivity in the presence of a highly conducting metallic sleeve. The advances in experimental technique have enabled us to obtain data on the electrical conductivity of brine saturated basic, acidic and graphite-bearing rocks at lower crustal temperatures and raised pressures. These data have facilitated the comparison of MT derived crustal electrical conductivity profiles with profiles obtained from laboratory experiments for the first time. Initial modelling shows a good agreement between laboratory derived and MT derived profiles only if the mid-crust is composed of amphibolite pervaded by aqueous fluids, and the lower crust is composed of granulite that is saturated with aqueous fluids and/or contains interconnected grain surface films of graphite. The experimental data are consistent with a three layer crust consisting of an aqueous fluid saturated acidic uppermost layer, above an aqueous fluid saturated amphibolite mid-crust, and a granulite lowermost crust, which may or may not be saturated with aqueous fluids, but if not, requires the presence of an additional conduction mechanism such as conduction through thin graphite films.

The experimental data, represented by polynomial functions of temperature and pressure, are used in a comparative examination of other recently reported experimental measurements of the viscosity of all these refrigerants. to investigate the uncertainty with which the viscosity is known.

    Notes: Abstract A novel cylindrical acoustic resonance method for the measurement of gas diffusion into liquids at high pressures is described. The measurements were per formed in a vertically oriented cylindrical acoustic resonator containing both the liquid solvent and gaseous diffusant while under high-precision isothermal and isobaric control. Individual resonance modes of the liquid column, the gas column, and the two-phase coupled fluid are resolved in the fast Fourier trans form acoustic-resonance spectrum (FFT-ARS). High-resolution acoustic spectra measured at frequent time intervals reveal the changes which accompany the diffusion fusion of gas into the liquid phase. One change, namely, the growth in length of the liquid column, results in a systematic shift to higher frequencies of axial modes in the gas column. The temporal behavior of this moving boundary, together with quantitative measurement of the flow to the gas column required to sustain the constant pressure, permits determination of the gas-into-liquid diffusion coefficient. Diffusion coefficients were determined from the change in frequency as a function of time of axial resonance modes in the gas-phase virtual cylinder as the surface of the underlying liquid phase advanced due to gas absorption. Measurements of the systems methane/n-octane, methane/n-nonane, and methane/n-decane were performed as a function of temperature at a pressure of 250 psia. Comparisons is made to results obtained elsewhere and by other methods but at the same temperatures and pressure.

    Notes: Abstract A new apparatus for density measurements of fluids in the entire range from gas to liquid densities is presented. The instrument is a single-sinker buoyancy densitometer designed in a completely new way. The buoyancy force exerted by the sample fluid on an immersed sinker (buoy) is transferred by a new type of magnetic suspension coupling to an analytical balance. In order to reduce drastically the linearity error of the (commercial) balance. a special basic load compensation is applied which also avoids any buoyancy ellèct of the laboratory air on the balance. The new single-sinker densitometer covers a density range from 10 to 200(1 kg - m ' at temperatures from 233 to 523 K and pressures up to 30 MPa. A special compact version of such a single-sinker densitometer can even he used at temperatures from 80 to 523 K at pressures up to 100 MPa. Test measurements on densities of carbon dioxide at 233, 360, and 523 K at pressures up to 30 MPa show that the estimated total uncertainty of ±0.02% to ±0.03% in density is clearly met.

    Notes: Abstract In the Murnaghan approximation, an isothermal relation between pressure (P) and volume (V) for solids is derived from the assumption that the isothermal bulk modulus (B) is a linear function ofP. This paper presents a thermodynamic analysis of a generalized form of the equation, based on treating all its various parameters [viz., V, B, and (∂B/∂P) T atP=0] as functions of temperature. Extending a previous study, the effect ofT upon (∂B/∂P) T is accounted for by using a dimensionless parameter introduced by us, which is used in formulating general expressions for the volume dependence of various thermophysical quantities,viz., the thermal expansion coefficient (α), the productαB, and the Grüneisen and Anderson-Grüneisen parameters. Some combinations of these parameters are identified, which show a simple dependence uponP. The new expressions are used in analyzing current approximations and the behavior of the solid in the low-compression range. In particular, an expression forα at highP is reported which generalizes the Anderson equation and previous results by us.

R124, R125, R134a, R141b, and R152a in excellent agreement with experiment, over extended temperature and pressure ranges. Values for the roughness factors and correlations for the characteristic volume are presented. The overall average absolute deviations of the experimental viscosity and thermal conductivity measurements from those calculated by the correlation are 2.1 and 2.3%, respectively, over a temperature range from 200 to about 10 K below the critical temperature and a pressure range from saturation to about 40 MPa. Since the proposed scheme is based on recent and accurate density values, a Tail-type equation was also employed to correlate successfully the density of the refrigerants. The overall average absolute deviation of the experimental density measurements from those calculated by the correlation is ±0.08%.

    Notes: Abstract The interdiffusion coefficient,D 12, has been measured by Mach-Zehnder interferometry for liquid mixtures of methane andn-decane at 303 K. The mole fraction of methane was from 0.11 to 0.96 and the pressure was from 30 to 60 MPa. This includes measurements in the critical region, the critical locus being approached from supercritical pressures to within 0.4 MPa. The accuracy inD 12 is estimated to be from 3 to 10%, depending on the composition. Our data are compared with the Sigmund correlation, which is widely used to estimate diffusion coefficients in hydrocarbons at high pressures. The deviation between estimate and measurement is one order of magnitude for some of the states. We have also compared with a more recent correlation used by Erkey, but this one is not found to be applicable to the compositions studied in the present work. Our data were related to recently measured intradiffusion coefficients,D 1 andD 2, at the same state points. On this basis, we have evaluated different mixing rules for obtaining the interdiffusion coefficient from intradiffusion coefficients, both close to and away from the critical region. It is found that the so-called Darken and Adamson relations have the right qualitative behavior.

The pure substances were toluene,p-xylene,m-xylene,o-xylene, methylcyclohexane, methylnaphthalene, decahydronaphthalene, phenyldodecane, heptamethylnonane, and tetramethylpentadecane (pristane). The three binaries were toluene + tetramethylpentadecane, toluene + methylnaphthalene, and toluene + heptamethylnonane, for molar fractionsx of toluene ranging between 0 and 1. The three binaries are highly “contrasted” systems, i.e., systems in which the viscosities of the pure components are very different for eachP, T pair. In all, 547 experimental determinations were carried out (279 experimental data for viscosity of the pure substances and 268 data concerning the mixtures: x⊋0 and 1).

    Notes: Abstract Vibrational Raman spectroscopy is a very usful technique for studying the dynamical behavior of a system, in particular in the critical region. In a mixture, composition fluctuations play an important role and on the basis of the results for pure substances one would expect an increase of the linewidth in approaching the critical point. However, in previous experiments such an effect was not detected. The reasons for this failure will be discussed. Recently, we have observed a considerable broadening of the linewidth in approaching the critical point in the system helium-nitrogen under high pressure. However, it is well-known that broadening may occur through various other mechanisms such as changes in density, composition fluctuations far from the critical point, aggregation, etc. On the basis of the helium-nitrogen data the pitfalls in the experimental determination of critical broadening are discussed. The data analysis takes into account the contribution of noncritical effects. Consequences are drawn for the interpretation of spectroscopic data in terms of concentration of species in supercritical solvents. Moreover, we discuss the possibility of a difference between the local composition and the bulk composition and demonstrate from our line shift data that this is not a critical effect.

    Notes: Abstract Monte Carlo simulations that utilize an (N, P, T) ensemble with periodic deformable boundary conditions cannot describe phase transitions properly when a large potential barrier is involved. An alternative method is to calculate the Gibbs free energy difference between phases; the transition occurs when the difference is equal to zero. The Gibbs free-energy difference can be calculated using a generalized free-energy method. This method is used to determine theβ-δ phase transition of solid nitrogen at room temperature. The Gibbs freeenergy difference between theβ and theδ phase was obtained at 4.0 GPa. The difference at other pressures could be determined with the equation of state. The transition pressure was found at about 6.2 GPa, 1.3 GPa above the experimental pressure.

    Notes: Abstract The viscosity coellicient of carbon dioxide in the liquid phase has been measured by means of a vibrating-wire viscometer at temperatures of 220, 230, 240, 2411, 260, and 380 K. The measurements extended beyond both phase transition lines into the coexistence region (superheated liquid) and into the solid range (undercooled liquid). At 3811 K. the measurements extended only to 3511 MPa since no density data are available for high pressures. The accuracy of the measurements is estimated to be I % The agreement with the data of Ulybin and Makarushkin is rather good, but our values are in general a few percent lower than those of Diller and Ball. The results show, for the most part, a linear pressure dependence for the various isotherms, with a common intersection with the negative pressure axis of 113.7 MPa. The fluidity, the reciprocal of the viscosity, shows a linear dependence of the molar volume in adjacent density ranges. After reduction of the molar volume with the volumes of close packing, two sets of linear functions result, with common intersections of the axis forV/V 0=1.31 andV/V 0=1.40.

    Notes: Abstract This paper reports new measurements on the viscosity of toluene at pressures up to 500 MPa at 299 K and pressures up to 435 MPa at 323 K. The results are in close agreement with recent viscosity measurements from a vibrating-wire viscometer at pressures up to 250 MPa but confirm earlier measurements from a falling-body viscometer which show that the recently recommended polynomial expression for the representation of the pressure dependence of the viscosity of toluene up to 250 MPa underestimates the viscosity if applied at 500 MPa by about 30%. Modification of this polynomial expression by inclusion of one additional term is found to represent the data satisfactorily over the whole pressure range.

    Notes: Abstract Significant changes in the intracellular concentrations of adenosine phosphates and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotides were observed during fermentation of grape must by three different strains ofSaccharomyces cerevisiae: S. cerevisiae var.cerevisiae, a typical fermentative yeast strain and two flor-veil-forming strains,S. cerevisiae var.bayanus andS. cerevisiae var.capensis. The intracellular concentration of ATP was always higher inS. cerevisiae var.cerevisiae than in the flor-veil-forming strains. NAD+ and NADP+ concentrations decreased at faster rates in the flor-veil-forming yeasts than in the other yeast but NADH concentration was the same in all yeasts for the first 10 days of fermentation. NADPH concentration was always lower inS. cerevisiae var.cerevisiae than in the other yeasts and this yeast also showed higher rates of growth and fermentation during the early stages of the fermentation and the presence of non-viable cells at the end of fermentation. In contrast, the flor-veil-forming strains maintained growth and fermentation capabilities for a relatively long time and viable cells were present throughout the entire fermentation process (31 days).

    Notes: Abstract The results obtained from the application of high pressure in optical absorption studies of compounds with metal-metal quadruple bonds are reviewed. The different degrees of balance between intermolecular and intramolecular effects of compression in different cases are highlighted. A consistent effect observed for [Re2Cl8]2−, [Mo2Cl8]4− , and related compounds is a continuous shift to Iower energy (red) in the δ to δ* excitation with increasing pressure. This observation is interpreted in terms of significant van der Waals interactions between the molecular chromophore and its surroundings, leading to relative stabilization of the more polarizable excited state. Changes in the intensity of the δ to δ* peak are not correlated with the changes in position. The intensity changes become consistent only at relatively high pressures, and this falloff is attributed largely to compression and deformation of the cell gasket. In certain cases, such as [Re2 I 8]2− and Re2(piv)4X2, piv = pivalate, X= CI, Br, rearrangement to a new species is observed upon the application of high pressure. These rearrangements are all reversible upon pressure release, but they involve different degrees of interaction between adjacent molecules.

    Notes: Abstract The unique coordination of the copper ions in +1, +2, and +3 oxidation states, which are stable in a range of oxygen partial pressure. 10−6〈P(O2)〈 103 atm, makes possible the formation of a wide variety of distinct structures. By controlling the oxygen pressure during the synthesis and annealing, the distribution of metal and oxygen ions can be modified on an atomic scale to optimize the structural and electronic properties. We present several examples of compounds for which the critical structural elements for superconductivity, i.e., the perfectly ordered CuO2 planes, have been obtained and doped with holes by means of high oxygen pressure,P(O2)〉1 atm. These materials, La2CuO4+δ , La2−x Ca x CuO4, and YSr2−x La x Cu3O7+δ , offer a unique opportunity to study the relationship between superconductivity and structural, magnetic, and chemical properties.

    Notes: Summary Saccharomyces cerevisiae in the form of baker's yeast, cells cultivated on a yeast extract-peptone-glucose medium, as well as cells immobilized in 18% (w/v) polyacrylamide gel showed the ability to hydrolyze 1.727 mM sodium phytate solution at 45°C, pH 4.6, in a stirred tank reactor. Seventy percent yield of dephosphorylation was observed after 2 h using a baker's yeast concentration of 5.8 g dry matter per 100 ml. Hydrolytic activity at 1.8–2.0 μM Pi min−1 was observed between 1st and 3rd h of the reaction in cells cultured 24 or 48 h. No inhibition by the substrate was found at sodium phytate concentrations of 0.587–1.727 mM. After 1.5 h of hydrolysis a single, well distinguished peak ofmyo-inositol-triphosphate was the main product found. By means of immobilization the stability of the biocatalyst was enhanced 3.3-fold and reached its half-life at 64 ninety-minute runs.

    Notes: Summary The evolution of the cell and must contents of three short-chain fatty acids (C6, C8 and C10) and their ethyl esters during fermentations withSaccharomyces cerevisiae racescerevisiae, bayanus andcapensis were studied. The former is a fermentative yeast and the last two are ‘flor’ film yeasts. The acid concentrations in the musts increased throughout the alcoholic fermentations, and maximum cell concentrations of the fatty acids were reached after 48 h of fermentation. Maximum ester concentrations in the cells were attained after 48–72 h of fermentation. In the musts, ethyl octanoate and ethyl decanoate reached a peak also at this point, and ethyl hexanoate after 10 days. After 134 days,S. cerevisiae racecapensis formed a thick ‘flor’ film whileS. cerevisiae racebayanus developed a thin film andS. cerevisiae racecerevisiae formed no film. At this point, acid contents remained constant in the wines produced byS. cerevisiae racescerevisiae andbayanus, and decreased in those obtained with racecapensis. The ethyl ester contents tended to decrease with the exception of ethyl decanoate in the fermentations carried out byS. cerevisiae racescerevisiae andbayanus.

The overall uncertainty in the reported data, confirmed by the measurement of the viscosity of water, is ±0.5 %. The high-pressure experimental results were correlated by a Tait-like equation. It was found that the isothermal viscosity data were satisfactorily correlated by such an equation.

The overall average deviation of the experimental measurements of the density from those calculated by the correlation is ±0.10%. A simple extension to n-alkane mixtures gives a satisfactory prediction of the density compared with experimental data.

Measurements were performed at temperatures of 298 and 323 K and at pressures up to 80 MPa with an estimated uncertainty of ±0.2 %. Molar volumes obtained for these mixtures are correlated with pressure by the Tait equation within the experimental uncertainty. Excess molar volume, isothermal compressibility, and partial molar volume of these mixtures are determined in terms of this correlation equation and compared with those of the aqueous solutions of hydrocarbon alcohols. Composition dependence of partial molar volume is discussed in comparison with that of Raman spectroscopic data.

    Notes: Abstract A new apparatus for the measurement of liquid densities at high pressures is presented. The instrument is a development of a vibrating-wire densimeter described earlier and uses the buoyancy force exerted by the sample fluid on an immersed buoy to alter the tension of a wire from which it is suspended. The tension of the wire is related to its resonant frequency under steady-state transverse vibrations through a rigorous theoretical model which includes a complete analysis of the hydrodynamic effect of the fluid surrounding the wire. The present instrument uses a new design for the measuring cell with the purpose of relieving the degeneracy of perpendicular oscillation modes of the vibrating wire. The modifications lead to a significant increase in the precision of the results. Tests performed on the new apparatus and the operating procedure used, which requires the determination of one cell parameter from one density datum at atmospheric pressure, are described. New results for the density of liquid 2,2,4-trimethylpentane at temperatures from 298.15 to 348.15 K and pressures up to 100 MPa are presented. The data obtained have a precision of ±0.05% at a 2a level and an estimated accuracy of approximately ±0.1%.

    Notes: Abstract Measurements of the molar heat capacity at constant volumeC v for air were conducted with an adiabatic calorimeter. Temperatures ranged from 67 to 300 K, and pressures ranged up to 35 MPa. Measurements were conducted at 17 densities which ranged from gas to highly compressed liquid states. In total, 227C v values were obtained. The air sample was prepared gravimetrically from research purity gases resulting in a mole fraction composition of 0.78112 N2 + 0.20966 O2 + 0.00922 Ar. The primary sources of uncertainty are the estimated temperature rise and the estimated quantity of substance in the calorimeter. Overall, the uncertainty (± 2σ) of theC v values is estimated to be less than ± 2% for the gas and ±0.5% for the liquid.

Measurements of current through the specimen, voltage across the specimen, radiance temperature, and thermal expansion of the specimen as functions of time allow the determination of specific heat and various dependencies among enthalpy, electrical resistivity, temperature, and density for liquid iron up to 5000 K. High pressures. up to 3800 bar, are used to obtain the liquid state far above the normal boiling point. An estimate of critical-point data for iron is given by using experimental data of the vapor pressure of liquid iron.

A simplex optimization method was used for the parameters of the model. and the compositions were also treated as adjustable parameters. With this method a much more accurate correlation is obtained, but the optimized compositions differ in two of four cases by more than 3% from the stated compositions,

Generalized correlations are given for the roughness factors and the characteristic volume. The overall average absolute deviations of the experimental viscosity, self-diffusion, and thermal conductivity measurements from those calculated by the correlation are 2.4, 2.6, and 2.0%, respectively. Since the proposed scheme is based on accurate density values, a Tait-type equation was also employed to correlate successfully the density of then-alcohols. The overall average absolute deviation of the experimental density measurements from those calculated by the correlation is ±0.05%.

The range of pressures investigated was up to 1.2 GPa in the temperature interval 150–370 K. The glass transition in crude oils is a common phenomenon and occurs due to the viscosity increase on decreasing the temperature or increasing thepressure. The actual transition coordinates depend not only on physical properties but also on the characteristic experimental time.

    Notes: Abstract The thermal conductivity of the solid phases I and III of urea was measured at temperatures in the range 50–370 K for pressures up to 1 GPa. Phase III, previously detected only at pressures above 0.5 GPa, was observed here at low pressures ( 〈0.07 GPa) below about 230 K. Extrapolation of the I–III phase line indicates that phase III might be obtained at 218 K at atmospheric pressure and, consequently, that urea might exhibit two solid phases at atmospheric pressure. The temperature dependence of the thermal conductivity of both phase I and phase III could be described by the Debye model for thermal conductivity assuming phonon scattering by three phonon umklapp processes only. Despite a volume decrease at the I → III transition, the thermal conductivity decreased by about 20%. Normally, thermal conductivity increases at a phase transition at which volume decreases. This rather unusual behavior of urea might be due to an increase in the nearest-neighbor distance at the I → III transition.

    Notes: Abstract Lysine added to grain mashes under nitrogen-limiting conditions (as in most industrial fermentations) inhibited growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This inhibition was relieved by raising the assimilable nitrogen content. Lysine-induced inhibition is not mediated through accumulation of α-oxoadipic acid, an intermediate of lysine metabolism which accumulates by a back up of intermediates in de novo synthesis. Lysine degradation is regulated by the synthesis of L-lysine ε-aminotransferase, an enzyme that catalyses the first step in one of three possible routes of lysine degradation (not previously reported in S. cerevisiae). Synthesis is repressed under nitrogenlimiting conditions, but derepressed when excess assimilable nitrogen is available. Derepression results in degradation of lysine and decreases inhibitory effects on growth. The toxic compound appears to be lysine itself.

    Notes: Abstract The complete travel-time equation of state (CT-EOS) is presented by utilizing thermodynamics relations, such as; $$K_T = K_S (1 + \alpha \gamma T)^{ - 1} , \gamma = \frac{{\alpha K_S }}{{\rho C_P }}, \left. {\frac{{\partial C_P }}{{\partial P}}} \right)_T = - \frac{T}{\rho }\left[ {\alpha ^2 + \left. {\frac{{\partial \alpha }}{{\partial T}}} \right)_P } \right], etc.$$ The CT-EOS enables us to analyze ultrasonic experimental data under simultaneous high pressure and high temperature without introducing any assumption, as long as the density, or thermal expansivity, and heat capacity are also available as functions of temperature at zero pressure. The performance of the CT-EOS was examined by using synthesized travel-time data with random noise of 10−5 and 10−4 amplitude up to 4 GPa and 1500 K. Those test conditions are to be met with the newly developed GHz interferometry in a gas medium piston cylinder apparatus. The results suggest that the combination of the CT-EOS and accurate experimental data (10−4 in travel time) can determine thermodynamic and elastic parameters, as well as their derivatives with unprecedented accuracy, yielding second-order pressure derivatives (∂2 M/∂P 2) of the elastic moduli as well as the temperature derivatives of their first-order pressure derivatives ∂2 M/∂P∂T). The completeness of the CT-EOS provides an unambiguous criterion to evaluate the compatibility of empirical EOS with experimental data. Furthermore because of this completeness, it offers the possibility of a new and absolute pressure calibration when X-ray (i.e., volume) measurements are made simultaneously with the travel-time measurements.

    Notes: Abstract Optimal assay conditions were established for the previously described method used to determine the activity ofSaccharomyces cerevisiae pore-forming killer toxin K1. The method is based on cell staining with bromocresol purple. Sensitive cells ofS. cerevisiae from the early exponential phase under nongrowth conditions and in the presence of glucose were the most convenient for determining the killer toxin activity. Maximum killing war reached when the suspension was buffered with 10 mM citrate-phosphate at pH 4.6.

    Notes: Abstract The iron-sulfur protein of the cytochromebc 1 complex oxidizes ubiquinol at center P in the protonmotive Q cycle mechanism, transferring one electron to cytochromec 1 and generating a low-potential ubisemiquinone anion which reduces the low-potential cytochromeb-566 heme group. In order to catalyze this divergent transfer of two reducing equivalents from ubiquinol, the iron-sulfur protein must be structurally integrated into the cytochromebc 1 complex in a manner which facilitates electron transfer from the iron-sulfur cluster to cytochromec 1 and generates a strongly reducing ubisemiquinone anion radical which is proximal to theb-566 heme group. This radical must also be sequestered from spurious reactivities with oxygen and other high-potential oxidants. Experimental approaches are described which are aimed at understanding how the iron-sulfur protein is inserted into center P, and how the iron-sulfur cluster is inserted into the apoprotein.

    Notes: Abstract Cell-free extracts of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae can be used to catalyse the recombination of bacterial plasmids in vitro. Recombination between homologous plasmids containing different mutations in the gene encoding tetracycline resistance is detectable by the appearance of tetracycline-resistance following transformation of the recombinant plasmid DNA into Escherichia coli DH5. This in vitro recombination system was used to determine the involvement of eukaryotic topo-isomerases in genetic recombination. Cell-free extracts prepared from a temperature-sensitive topo-isomerase II mutant (top2-1) of S. cerevisiae yielded tetracycline-resistant recombinants, when the recombination assays were performed at both a non-restrictive temperature (30°C) and the restrictive temperature (37°C). This result was obtained whether or not ATP was present in the recombination buffer. Extracts from a non-conditional topo-isomerase I mutant (top1-1) of S. cerevisiae yielded tetracycline-resistant recombinants, as did a temperature-sensitive double mutant (top2-1/top1-8) at the restrictive temperature. The results of this study indicate that neither topo-isomerase I nor topo-isomerase II was involved in the recombinational activity examined.

    Notes: Abstract This paper reports new, absolute measurements of the thermal conductivity of the liquid refrigerants R22, R123, and R134a in the temperature range 250–340 K at pressures from saturation up to 30 MPa. The measurements, performed in a transient hot-wire instrument employing two anodized tantalum wires as the heat source, have an estimated uncertainty of ±0.5%. A recently developed semiempirical scheme is employed to correlate successfully the thermal conductivity and the viscosity of these refrigerants, as a function of their density.

    Notes: Abstract Viscosities of aqueous solutions of 2,2,2,-trifluoroethanol, 2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropanol and 2,2,3,3,3-pentafluoropropanol have been measured with a falling-body viscometer. Measurements were performed at temperatures from 298 to 323 K and at pressures up to 80 MPa with an estimated uncertainty of ±2%. Viscosities obtained for these mixtures are represented by a simple empirical equation within the experimental uncertainty. The composition dependence of the viscosity is compared with that for mixtures of hydrocarbon alcohols and water.

    Notes: Abstract The paper reports new measurements of the viscosity of liquid R134a over the temperature range 235 to 343 K and pressures up to 50 MPa. The measurements have been carried out in a vibrating-wire viscometer calibrated with respect to the viscosity of several liquid hydrocarbons. It is estimated that the uncertainty in the viscosity data reported is ±0.6%. The data therefore have a lower uncertainty than that of earlier measurements of the viscosity of this environmentally acceptable regrigerant. The viscosity data have been represented as a function of density by means of a formulation based upon the rigid, hard-sphere theory of dense fluids with a maximum deviation of ±0.3%. This representation allows the present body of experimental data to be extended to regions of thermodynamic state not covered by the measurements.

    Notes: Abstract Equation-of-state measurements of two crude oils with different compositions and viscosity were performed at room temperature in the pressure range 0〈P〈1.0 GPa. We found large compressibilities and a strong dependence of the compressibility on oil content and viscosity. The bulk modulus changed with pressure from 2.0 to 12.1 GPa for one oil and from 1.3 to 9.5 GPa for the other. We discuss the possibility of detecting phase transitions in the region under investigation. The Tait and Murnaghan equations of state were fitted to the data, and residuals are presented.
