Organization culture reduction

The 105,000 g supernatant from rat liver catalyzed the formation of sulfates from phenols, dihydrodiols, and quinones of BaP 360). The reaction was not observed in the absence of ATP, indicating that the precursor for sulfate conjugation was 3 -phosphoadenosine-5 -phosphosulfate (PAPS). The formation of sulfates from quinones in these experiments was surprising and indicated the possibility of reduction of the quinones prior to conjugation. As discussed below, the sulfate of 3-OH-BaP was a major metabolite in organ culture systems. 

Mebius et al. (1991) reported that the morphological and functional aspects of HEV can be studied by organ culture of mouse isolated axillary, brachial, or inguinal lymph nodes. At 24 h of culture, the appearance of the node was still quite normal, whereas the HEV became flat-walled, with a 45-50% reduction in the capacity to bind lymphocytes. This decrease in function of HEV could be reduced when lymph nodes were cultured in the presence of lipopolysaccharides. The effect of lipopoly-saccharides on the function of HEV was presumably mediated by macrophages in the subcapsular sinus, because HEV in lymph nodes, which were depleted of subcapsular sinus and medullary macrophages previous to culture, could not be stimulated by addition of lipopolysaccharides to the culture.

The first area focuses on the cultural and organizational factors that will have a major influence on the effectiveness of a human error data collection system and how well the information derived from such a system is translated into successful error reduction strategies. Regardless of how effectively the technical issues are dealt with, the system will not be successful imless there is a culture in the organization which provides support for the data gathering process. No data collection system aimed at identifying human error causes of accidents will be workable without the active cooperation of the workforce. 

Dynamic kinetic resolution of a-alkyl-P-keto ester was conducted successfully using biocatalysts. For example, baker s yeast gave selectively syn(2R, 3S)-product [29a] and the selectivity was enhanced by using selective inhibitor [29b] or heat treatment of the yeast [29c]. Organic solvent was used for stereochemical control of G. candidum [29d]. Plant cell cultures were used for reduction of 2-methyl-3-oxobu-tanoate and afforded antialcohol with Marchantia [29e,f] and syn-isomer with Glycine max [29f]. 

In the approach followed in this invention [29], a biocatalytic agent converts the sulfur heterocycles into different molecules that do not exhibit the hydrophobic interactions. This is achieved by selectively cleaving carbon-sulfur bonds. The selectivity of the biocatalytic agent employed is limited to the carbon-sulfur bonds and no attack to the carbon-carbon skeleton was reported. Thus, it is expected that the proposed biocatalytic reduction of viscosity would not diminish the fuel value of the treated petroleum liquids. The biocatalyst employed consisted of the strain ATCC No. 53968 (see Section 20 and references therein), in an aqueous culture conventionally prepared by fermentation under aerobic conditions. The fermenting bioreactor is fed with a suitable nutrient medium, which comprises a conventional carbon source (dextrose and glycerol are recommended carbon sources. To confer maximal biocatalytic activity for the desired cleavage of organic C—S bonds, the bacteria was kept in a state of sulfur deprivation.
