Biodegradation, 6(1), 61-66 (1995-01-01)
Aspergillus niger (AG-1) metabolized dimethylterephthalate through monomethylterephthalate, terephthalate and protocatechuate. Degradation of dimethylterephthalate was followed by extraction of residual dimethylterephthalate from the spent medium. The quantitative UV analysis showed that 58% of the dimethylterephthalate supplement was taken up in 144

Two 10-hydroxybenzo[h]quinoline metal complexes, bis(10-hydroxybenzo[h]quinolinato) beryllium (Bebq2) and bis(10-hydroxybenzo[h]quinolinato)zincum (Znbq2), have been synthesized. The structure are characterized by 1HNMR, IR and so on. The photophysical processes of Bebq2 and Znbq2 have been carefully investigated by fluorescence spectra. The results show
