The fermentative reduction of 40 using several microorganisms was reported. Most organisms produce 23 in low yield and, in some cases, as a mixture of C5 hydroxyl epimers (71,72). The most promising fermentative reduction reported uses a Corynebacterium species and produces approximately 50% yield of 23 from 40 at 7.8% broth concentration (Scheme 21) (73,74).

The fermentation wastes Corynebacterium glutamicum biomass) were obtained in a dried powder form from a lysine fermentation industry (BASF-Korea, Kunsan, Korea). The protonated biomass was prepared by treating the raw biomass with a 1 N HNO3 solution for 24 h, thereby replacing the natural mix of ionic species with protons. The resulting C glutamicum biomass was dried and stored in a desiccator and used as a biosorbent for the sorption experiments. 

Thiaarenes are major components of crnde oil and extensive effort has been devoted to microbial processes for their removal since their presence generates undesirable SO during incineration of fossil fuels. Attention has been directed to a number of organisms including species of Rhodococ-cus, Corynebacterium, and Gordonia. 

All other bacterial species were type strains as follows. Coryne-bacterium ammoniagcncs ATCC6871, Corynebacterium lu-tamicum ATCC21171, Pseudomonas fluorescens ATCC13525,... 

Among the bacilli, gram positive Bacillus anthracis, Corynebacterium diphtheriae, Clostridium species are highly sensitive. Among the spirochetes. Treponema pallidum is highly sensitive to penicillin. 

Antibacterial Spectrum. Hawley reported that various species and strains of the genera Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Neisseria, Bacillus, Clostridium, and Corynebacterium are inhibited by nisin (Hawley 1957A, B). Mattick and Hirsch (1947) added actinomycetes, pneumococci, mycobacteria, and Erysipelothrix to this list. The nisin concentration required for complete inhibition is organism specific and ranges from 0.25 to 500 units per milliliter. Inhibition of L. casei by antibiotics from S. lactis and S. cremoris was observed by Baribo and Foster (1951). Inhibition of Propionibacterium by nisin but not of coliform bacteria was reported by Galesloot (1957). 

Corynebacterium equi IF0 3730 gave high enantioselectivity in the oxidation of aryl alkyl sulfides [106], The results listed in Scheme 6C, 11 arise from experiments with no formation of sulfone, which occurs quite easily in several cases. Thio ketals and thio acetals were oxidized into mono S-oxides by various fungal species with enantioselectivity up to 70% ee [107]. Corynebacterium equi was very successfully used in the oxidation of formaldehyde dithioacetals to mono S-oxide or sulfone-sulfoxide, depending on the substrates. Thus n-Bu-S-CH-S-n-Bu was transformed to n-Bu-S02-CH2-S(0)-n-Bu with more than 95% ee in 70% yield. 

Starch-like substances are produced in several species of bacteria.18,21 For example, Escherichia coli produces a linear glucan.21,29 Corynebacterium diphtheriae produces a starch-like material and Clostridium butyricum produces a glucan with some branching.21 Neisseria perflava produces a glucan, intermediate in structure between amylopectin and glycogen 29 however, more recent work shows that the structure more closely approaches that of glycogen.30... 

The strains used are either wild types or mutants. Wild types from the genera Arthrobacter, Bacillus, Brevibacterium, Corynebacterium and Microbacterium are mostly employed in glutamic acid and alanine production 48). The yields, depending on the carbon source and bacterial species, are between 10-80%. Other amino acids are also accumulated in wild types however, yields are lower. 

Bacteria reported to metabolize PAHs include species of Acido-vorax, Acinetobacter, Actinomyces, Aeromonas, Agrobacterium, Alcaligenes, Arthrobacter, Aureobacterium, Bacillus, Brevibacterium, Burkholderia, Chryseobacterium, Comamonas, Corynebacterium, Cycloclasticus,...
