Invertase from baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) was covalently bound via glutaraldehyde to a macroporous polystyrene anion-exchanger, silica, and porous glass. The thermal stability of the enzyme-matrix complexes was found to be higher than that of soluble invertase, increasing in the order given above. The immobilization of invertase to the polystyrene anion-exchanger by benzoquinonen and trichlorotriazine provided enzyme derivatives with lower thermal stability compared to the soluble enzyme. The thermal inactivation of all invertase-matrix complexes is characterized by a biphasic course. The inactivation process is well described by a model of ULBRICH and SCHELLENBERGER [1] which is based on the assumption of two differently stable enzyme fractions each of which being inactivated by a first-order reaction. This model proved to be appropriate also for the description of the thermal inactivation in the presence of substrate.

Genomic RNA of the Respiratory syntical virus (RS-virus) was used as a template to synthesize calfthymus DNA-primed cDNAs. These cDNAs were subsequently cloned into the E. coli plasmid pBR 322 at the PstI-site. By hybridization 6 recombinants with virusspecific cDNAs representing 10% of the whole genome could be isolated.

The nitrilase of Rhodococcus rhodochrous PA-34 catalyzes the production of optically active amino acids from aminonitriles. The amino acid sequence of the NH 2 terminus of the purified nitrilase was determined for the preparation of a synthetic oligonucleotide as a southern hybridization probe. A 9.5-kbp Pst I-fragment, which hybridized with the oligonucleotide probe, was isolated from R. rhodochrous PA-34 genomic libraries constructed in pUC 19. Nucleotide sequence analysis revealed that the nitrilase gene codes for a putative polypeptide of 380 amino acids which correspond to a relative molecular weight of 41,723.

The determination of oxygen diffusion coefficients was carried out by a modified chronoamperometric method using a stationary platinum electrode. The determined diffusion coefficients are related to approximated η0-values. It was shown a relation of Di and η0 according to the HAYDUK-CHENG-potential equation. That means a strong relative lowering of oxygen diffusion coefficients already by low viscosities, but a little influence at high viscosities. A simple laboratory thin film reactor is described, in which the oxygen supply is maintained by diffusion. This reactor is suitable very well for fermentations of viscous fluids.
