SP cells

The process is nearing the end of a 3000 hour pilot trial at the Shawinigan laboratory of Hydro-Quebec in a commercial scale Electro Prod Cell, or an ICI FM21 SP cell, divided by a membrane. The pilot plant based on commercially available electrochemical cells has a design capacity of 100 t/year [132], Compounds examined on the laboratory scale using the Ce(IV) methane sulfonic acid process are summarized in Table 11. 

Both enantiomers of the biologically active Bower s compound, a potent analogue of an insect juvenile hormone [103] (Scheme 18) were prepared using Aspergillus sp. cells in 96% ee. Interestingly, biological tests showed that the (6i )-antipode was about ten times more active than the (6S)-counterpart against the yellow meal worm Tenebrio molitor.

The processes are based on whole bacterial cells. In the case of the pipecolic acid, an important building block for pharmaceutical chemistry, an S-selective amidase in Pseudomonas fluorescens cells, catalyses the reaction with high selectivity and the acid is obtained with an ee >99% (Scheme 6.27A). For the preparation of piperazine-2-carboxylic acid from the racemic amide a R- and a S-selective amidase are available. Utilising Klebsiella terrigena cells the S-enantiomer is prepared with 42% isolated yield and ee > 99%, while Burkholderia sp. cells catalyse the formation of the -enantiomer (ee=99%, Scheme 6.27 B). 

There are two models for the development of SP cells around electronically-conductive mineralisation that are considered here to be theoretically sound. They are... 

Virtually all discussion in mineral exploration regarding SP cells and associated electrochemical phenomena assumes the presence of an electronic conductor. There has been little discussion of voltaic cells that involve no electronic conduction, but these cells undoubtedly exist. The nervous systems and muscles of organisms use the transfer of purely ionic current with no electronic conduction. Spontaneous potentials in the absence of electronic conductors have long been recognised in the petroleum industry and result from salinity and redox differences between strata. The presence of spontaneous potentials has also been noted in relatively thick overburden overlying mineralisation in the absence of an overburden conductor of electrons (Burr, 1982). Since electrons cannot move freely in an electrolyte solution, many of these cases must involve electrochemical cells of sorts in which current is transferred exclusively in the form of ions. 

Two types of SP cells have been postulated to develop in media with presumably homogenous resistivity. These are SP cells over bedrock mineralisation and deep hydrocarbon-based cells in bedrock. These cells are not centred on zones of elevated electrical conductivity but rather on zones of elevated SP (voltage) gradient. 

There is abundant field evidence for the existence of SP cells over petroleum reservoirs. Indeed this evidence itself was used to find petroleum reservoirs for almost 100 years before the cells were recognised. It includes gaseous and liquid hydrocarbon seeps, paraffin deposits, halo-type metal anomalies, iron and manganese deposition, carbonate cementation, hard-drilling areas, magnetic anomalies (associated with magnetite mineralisation) and elevated uranium concentrations (Tomkins, 1990). Chapters 5-7 of this volume and references provided therein document many of these features. 

Therefore, Enterococcus sp. survived freeze-thaw cycles as part of a consortium, but was, unexpectedly, less freeze-thaw resistant in isolation. Indeed, viability in these isolates was more affected than the mixed cultures that originated from late summer soil samples that had not been exposed to subzero temperatures for many months. An investigation to determine if their survival was influenced by the presence of another bacterial species was then undertaken. Several experiments involving combinations of different bacteria were negative, but when Enterococcus sp. and Chryseobacterium sp. were cultured together, both showed freeze thaw resistance (not shown). Furthermore, when pelleted Enterococcus sp. cells were resuspended in the cell-free, spent medium obtained from Chryseobacterium sp. cultures, the survival of Enterococcus sp. improved, so that only three orders of magnitude of viability were lost after the same number of treatments. Thus their survival improved a 1000-fold (Figure 3).

Isolation and Phenotypic Characteristics of HSCs. Recent experiments have demonstrated that HSCs in bone marrow from many different species can be purified by FACS as SP cells [40, 45, 46], In 1994, multipotent cells committed to the hematopoietic lineage in mouse according to their different array of cell-surface markers were isolated [39]. This cells were described as KTLS c-kit+ (K), Thy-l.T (a marker on stem cells) (T), (Lineage-marker) (L), and Sca-H(Stem cell... 

Main Characteristics ofSP Cells from Diverse Compartments. A variable number of SP cells have been distributed in the different tissues of the body. The SP cells are a heterogeneous population that possesses the ability to give rise to their lineage-specific progenitor cells [138]. Some of these cells have been analyzed and found to be multipotent [139]. In vitro cultures of SP cells have shown differences in their propagation capacities and quiescent state [140,145,161].
