Pig. 4 Morphological aspect of cultures of P. putida U (lefi) and a PHA-overproducer mutant (right) when grown on a chemically defined solid medium containing 4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid as the carbon source and 7-phenylheptanoic acid as the source of PHA monomers... 

The function of allomones in invertebrate defense is well established, but there is some evidence that such chemicals also occur in vertebrates, mainly in mustelids 316-325), but also in turtles Sterno-therus odoratus from which Eisner et al. 326) isolated four co-phenyl alkanoic acids identified as phenylacetic, 3-phenylpropionic, 5-phenyl-pentanoic and 7-phenylheptanoic acid. 

It was observed by Barwald and Jaenicke that no spectral change occurs upon addition of mandelonitrile, benzaldehyde, or HCN to the enzyme [81]. Apparently, binding of substrate and product does not involve the flavin molecule. It was subsequently found that one of the cysteine residues in the enzyme is essential for activity and can be selectively reacted with Michael acceptors. Upon reaction with labeled 3-oxo-3-phenylpropene, followed by reduction (to prevent a retro-Michael reaction) and extensive hydrolysis, l-2-amino-4-thia-DL-7-hydroxy-7-phenylheptanoic acid, the reduced conjugate addition product of cysteine to the inhibitor, was isolated [82] (Scheme 4). 

Soai et al. investigated the effects of amines on the diastereoselectivity of the conjugate addition of butyllithium to the a,j -unsaturated amide 274, derived from the a-amino acid of S-proline. When DBU was applied as base, (-)-(/ )-3-phenylheptanoic acid (275) was obtained in 55% e.e. (83SC27). 

In both an exclusively a and an exclusively p attack, head-to-tail polymers will result. In this case, evidence of which form of attack has occurred cannot be obtained from the structure of the polymer formed. However, if styrene is reacted with equimolar quantities of butyl lithium and the anions formed are subsequently treated with CO2, then only 2-phenyl-heptanoic acid, not 3-phenylheptanoic acid, is found. Therefore the attack must have occurred exclusively at the j -carbon atom ...

Fig. 5 Scanning (a, c, e, g) and transmission (b, d, f, h) microphotogiaphs of P. putida U (a, b), P. putida U AfadB (c, d), P. putida U AfadBphaZ (e, f) and P. putida U Apha phaCl (g, h) cultured in a chemically defined medium containing 4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid as the carbon source and 7-phenylheptanoic add as the source of PHA monomers. The bar represents 1 pm. P. putida U AfadB is a PHA-overproducer mutant of P. putida U in which the p-oxidadon genes have been deleted, P. putida U AfadB phaZ is a strain derived from P. putida U AfadB that overexpresses the depolymerase gene (phaZ) and P. putida U hpha phaCl is a mutant in which the pha cluster was deleted and that expressed the gene encoding the polymerase Cl (phaCl) in trans...
