It is an FP7 integrated project funded by the European Commission (Grant agreement 603437) carried out by a consortium of 39 organizations such as research institutes, companies and universities. RiBaTox (Guide to Tools and Services for River Basin Toxicants) is an online web-based service, directly accessible by https://solutions.marvin.vito.be/, which supports the dissemination of the results of the SOLUTIONS project. It is intended for policy makers, their technical staff as well as water managers, but also for scientists and is also accessible to the public at large. The development of RiBaTox was based on the Evolutionary Delivery software-development Model (EDM). New and improved models, tools, guidelines and databases are systematically documented and translated into SOLUTIONS “Tools and Services” designed to provide support to end-user’s challenges related to river basin toxicants. In order to find appropriate SOLUTIONS Tools and Services, RiBaTox offers as options a Guide, an Overview and a Search function, depending on the type of end-user requiring more or less guidance. The output of RiBaTox are descriptions of SOLUTIONS Tools and Services in a so called Fact Sheet format, each downloadable as pdf. Access to actual SOLUTIONS Tools and Services as such is not included in RiBaTox since it is not intended as a system where actual calculations are made or databases are directly consulted. For more detailed information or to receive and/or use the actual Tool or Service the end-user is directed to references such as scientific publications, or may contact the developer(s) or supplier(s) of the Tool or Service directly based on the provided contact information. 3 Deliverable Report 1.2 Graph Figure 1: Homepage of RiBaTox 4 Deliverable Report 2 Contents 1.1 Summary

Phenazines are able to contribute to these activities 18 due to their redox activity. The physiological consequences of cellular phenazine reduction have 19 been extensively studied, but the counterpart phenazine oxidation has been largely overlooked.

    Reviews and Accounts ARKIVOC 2015 (i) 70-96 Alumina sulfuric acid (ASA), tungstate sulfuric acid (TSA), molybdate sulfuric acid (MSA) and xanthan sulfuric acid (XSA) as solid and heterogeneous catalysts in green organic synthesis: a review Rajesh H. Vekariya and Hitesh D. Patel * Department of Chemistry, School of Sciences, Gujarat University, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India E-mail: [email protected] DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3998/ark.5550190.p008.894 Abstract In this comprehensive review, we report on the sulfonic acid functionalized solid acids such as alumina sulfuric acid (ASA), tungstate sulfuric acid (TSA), molybdate sulfuric acid (MSA) and xanthan sulfuric acid (XSA) as green and heterogeneous catalysts in a wide range of organic transformations. Recently, the use of sulfonic acid functionalized solid acids as catalyst in organic synthesis has become an efficient and green strategy for the selective construction of organic motifs. The sustainable advantage of sulfonic acid functionalized solid acids is that it can be recovered and reused several times without loss of their efficiency. In this review, we attempt to give an overview of the use of ASA, TSA, MSA, XSA as catalysts in the synthesis of various organic compounds having industrial as well as pharmaceutical applications.

WARREN2 Division of Soils, Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation,' and Department ofAgricultural Biochemistry, Waite Agricultural Research Institute,2 Glen Osmond, South Australia 5064, Australia Received 24 February 1987/Accepted 21 September 1987 A phenazine antibiotic (mp, 243 to 244°C), isolated in a yield of 134 ,ug/ml from cultures of Pseudomonas fluorescens 2-79 (NRRL B-15132), was indistinguishable in all of its measured physicochemical (melting point, UV and infrared spectra, and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry data) and biological properties from synthetic phenazine-1-carboxylic acid. Gurusiddaiah et al. (S. Gurusiddaiah, D. M. Weller, A. Sarkar, and R. J. Cook, Antimicrob. Agents Chemother. 29:488-495, 1986) attributed a dimeric phenazine structure to an antibiotic with demonstrably similar properties obtained from the same bacterial strain. Direct comparison of the physicochemical properties of the authentic antibiotic obtained from D. M. Weller with synthetic phenazine-1-carboxylic acid and with the natural product from the present study established that all three samples were indistinguishable within the experimental error of each method. No evidence to support the existence of a biologically active dimeric species was obtained. Phenazine-1-carboxylic acid has a pKa of 4.24 ± 0.01 (25°C; I = 0.09), and its carboxylate anion shows no detectable antimicrobial activity compared with the active uncharged carboxylic acid species.

  • Enrichment, Isolation and Characterization of Phenazine-1-Carboxylic Acid (PCA)-Degrading Bacteria Under Aerobic and Anaerobic Conditions
    Enrichment, isolation and characterization of phenazine-1-carboxylic acid (PCA)-degrading bacteria under aerobic and anaerobic conditions Miaomiao Zhang A thesis in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Civil and Environmental Engineering Faculty of Engineering September, 2018 THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: ZHANG First name: Miaomiao Other name/s: Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: Civil and Environmental Engineering Faculty: Engineering Title: Enrichment, isolation and characterization of phenazine-1- carboxylic acid (PCA)-degrading bacteria under aerobic and anaerobic conditions Abstract Phenazines are a large class of nitrogen-containing aromatic heterocyclic compounds produced and secreted by bacteria from phylogenetically diverse taxa under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Phenazine-1-carboxylic acid (PCA) is regarded as a ‘core’ phenazine because it is transformed to other phenazine derivatives. Due to their important roles in ecological fitness, biocontrol of plant pathogens, infection in cystic fibrosis and potential in anticancer treatments, understanding the fate of phenazine compounds is prudent. Only seven bacterial species are known to degrade phenazines and all of them are aerobic. Hence, the aim of this study is to enrich, isolate and characterize additional bacteria with the ability to degrade phenazines aerobically and anaerobically. In this study, the isolation of a PCA-degrading Rhodanobacter sp. PCA2 belonging to Grammaproteobacteria is reported. Characterization studies revealed that strain PCA2 is also capable of transforming other phenazines including phenazine, pyocyanin and 1-hydroxyphenazine. The sequencing, annotation and analysis of the genome of strain PCA2 revealed that genes (ubiD and the homolog of the MFORT_16269 gene) involved in PCA degradation were plasmid borne.

The synthesized oligomers showed excellent dispersibility and assembled as well-defined structures in contrast to the shapeless aggregated material produced in a water medium. The synergistic effects among the monomer concentration, oxidant concentration, pH, and reaction medium are shown to be controlling parameters to generate SAO microstructures with distinct morphologies, whether micro sheets or micro rods. Keywords: polyaniline; sulfonated polyaniline; microstructures; phenazine; pH 1. Introduction Polyaniline (PANI) emerged as the first conducting polymer whose electronic properties can be altered by protonation and charge-transfer doping [1,2]. Although PANI was initially synthesized in the 19th century, extensive research began after Epstein et al.

Kern Submitted to the Department of Biology on March 29, 2013 in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Biology ABSTRACT Phenazines are redox-active small molecules produced by bacteria. Although phenazines have been studied extensively for their roles as toxins, how phenazines benefit producing organisms is still being uncovered. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a phenazine- producing Gram-negative bacterium that inhabits soil and water, and can establish persistent infections in plants, animals, and humans. P. aeruginosa produces phenazines upon activation of its quorum-sensing system, which is involved in numerous physiological changes, including biofilm development. Phenazines have been proposed to aid catabolism of P.
