Abstract

Microcolumn liquid chromatography with slurry-packed capillary columns has been used to resolve mixtures of biologically important steroids and prostaglandins. In order to enhance detection sensitivity, the samples are first derivatized with a suitable chromophore-yielding agent. Hydroxy steroids were derivatized with either benzoyl chloride or 7-(chlorocarbonylmethoxy)-4-methylcoumarin, while Dns hydrazine was employed to react with the ketonic groups of certain steroidal conjugates. Bile acids can also be derivatized with bromomethylcoumarin to yield fluorescent products. The use of microcolumns permits both a high degree of component resolution and enhanced detection sensitivity.

Functional identification of p-cumate operons in the terpene-degrading Rhodococcus sp. strain T104.

We identified a p-cumate degrading gene cluster (designated cmt) with a novel organization in our genomic studies of the terpene-degrading Rhodococcus sp. strain T104. The mutant strain SN140, isolated for the inability to grow on p-cumate, accumulates 2,3-dihydroxy-p-cumate as identified by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and 300 MHz proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction experiments showed that the cmt genes are operonic and induced specifically by growth on p-cumate. This report is the first example of identifying the genes for p-cumate degradation in a gram-positive organism based on functional data.

Diisopropylammonium 2-[(2,4-dinitrophenyl)sulfanylaminocarbonyl]benzoate.

The structure of title compound, C6H16N+.C14H8N3O7S-, comprises discrete ions which are interconnected by N-H...O- and N-H+...O- hydrogen bonds, leading to a neutral one-dimensional network along [100]. These hydrogen bonds appear to complement the Coulombic interaction and help to stabilize the structure further.

Cyclohexane carboxylate and benzoate formation from crotonate in Syntrophus aciditrophicus.

The anaerobic, syntrophic bacterium Syntrophus aciditrophicus grown in pure culture produced 1.4 +/- 0.24 mol of acetate and 0.16 +/- 0.02 mol of cyclohexane carboxylate per mole of crotonate metabolized. [U-13C]crotonate was metabolized to [1,2-(13)C]acetate and [1,2,3,4,5,7-(13)C]cyclohexane carboxylate. Cultures grown with unlabeled crotonate and [13C]sodium bicarbonate formed [6-(13)C]cyclohexane carboxylate. Trimethylsilyl (TMS) derivatives of cyclohexane carboxylate, cyclohex-1-ene carboxylate, benzoate, pimelate, glutarate, 3-hydroxybutyrate, and acetoacetate were detected as intermediates by comparison of retention times and mass spectral profiles to authentic standards. With [U-(13)C]crotonate, the m/z-15 ion of TMS-derivatized glutarate, 3-hydroxybutyrate, and acetoacetate each increased by +4 mass units, and the m/z-15 ion of TMS-derivatized pimelate, cyclohex-1-ene carboxylate, benzoate, and cyclohexane carboxylate each increased by +6 mass units. With [13C]sodium bicarbonate and unlabeled crotonate, the m/z-15 ion of TMS derivatives of glutarate, pimelate, cyclohex-1-ene carboxylate, benzoate, and cyclohexane carboxylate each increased by +1 mass unit, suggesting that carboxylation occurred after the synthesis of a four-carbon intermediate. With [1,2-(13)C]acetate and unlabeled crotonate, the m/z-15 ion of TMS-derivatized 3-hydroxybutyrate, acetoacetate, and glutarate each increased by +0, +2, and +4 mass units, respectively, and the m/z-15 ion of TMS-derivatized pimelate, cyclohex-1-ene carboxylate, benzoate, cyclohexane carboxylate, and 2-hydroxycyclohexane carboxylate each increased by +0, +2, +4, and +6 mass units. The data are consistent with a pathway for cyclohexane carboxylate formation involving the condensation of two-carbon units derived from crotonate degradation with CO2 addition, rather than the use of the intact four-carbon skeleton of crotonate.
