Molecular forests

The reacting system can be represented by graphs (trees) In which the nodes represent monomer units. In the theory of branching processes this collection of graphs (Figure 2) - a molecular forest -Is transformed Into another forest - the forest of rooted trees.

Archaea belonging to the kingdom Crenarchaeota deserve attention. Although it has been assumed that these are extreme thermophiles, members of this group have been identified by molecular techniques in other habitats, for example, soils (Buckley et al. 1998), boreal forest soil (Jurgens et al. 1997), and in plant extracts (Simon et al. 2005). 

Fixation of molecular nitrogen, N2, to ammonia in forest ecosystems can occur on and/or in a variety of forest substrates including plant canopy and stems, epiphitic plants compartments, wood, litter, soil and roots. A recent review of the magnitude of N inputs to forest ecosystems indicates that non-symbiotic fixation ranges from < 1 to 5 kg/ha/yr and symbiotic fixation ranges from about 10 to 160 kg/ha/yr in early successional ecosystems where N2-fixing species are present. 

From 250 g of root bark of T. chippii, a small tree growing in the high forest or bush and occurring in the Ivory Coast and Ghana, nearly 4 mg of the new bisindole alkaloid vobparicine (200, C39H43N402) were isolated (62). The dimeric nature of this compound suggested by the molecular formula was con-... 

Peripentadenia is a monotypic genus of the family Elaeocarpaceae represented by Peripentadenia mearsii (C. T. White) L. S. Smith, a tree growing in rain forests of northern Queensland. Besides unidentified minor alkaloids, the species yields one major alkaloid, peripentadenine (49) (87). Its molecular formula, C22H34N203, was established by high-resolution mass spectroscopy the presence of phenol, ketone, secondary amide, and tertiary amine functionalities was deduced from examination of spectroscopic data.

CASRN 2032-59-9 molecular formula C11H16N2O2 FW 208.26 Plant/Surface Water. Several transformation products reported by Day (1991) include 4-amino-/n-tolyl-7V-methylcarbamate (AA), 4-amino-3-methylphenol (AC), 4-formamido-/n-tolyl-TV-methylcarbamate (FA), 7V-(4-hydroxy-2-methylphenyl)-yV-methylformamide (FC), 4-methyl-formamido-/n-tolyl-7V-methylcarbamate (MFA), 4-methylamino-/n-tolyl-Wmethylcarbamate (MAA), 3-methyl-4-(methylamino)phenyl-Wmethylcarbamate (MAC), phenol, methylamine, and carbon dioxide. MAA was not detected in natural water but was detected in fish tissues following exposure to aminocarb-treated water in the laboratory. The metabolites FA, AC, and MAC were detected in Canadian forests treated with aminocarb but the metabolites AA, MAA, and FC were not detected (Day, 1991).

Urease activity in soils has been found to reflect the bacterial count and content of organic matter. The urease isolated from an Australian forest soil (87) was crystallized and found to have a specific activity of 75 Sumner units (S.U.) per mg. The molecular weight species were estimated (sedimentation velocity) to be 42, 131, and 217 X 103. That urease activity persists in soils is shown by the finding that enzymic activities, including urease, could be demonstrated in soil samples over 8000 years old (88).
