| of Jojoba (Simmondsia chinensis [Link] Schneider)  | | | Abstract
| Epicuticular waxes were extracted with hexane from dry Jojoba pericarp and seed. These cuticular waxes consisted of hydrocarbons, wax esters, free acids, free alcohols and sterols; additionally aldehydes were found in the wax obtained from seed coats. The hydrocarbon fraction contained a homologous series of «-alkanes and branched alkanes but no alkenes. The composition of the wax esters of the cuticular wax was similar to that of the cotyledons. The esters are composed of monounsaturated long chain acids and alcohols. | | |

Surface and interfacial activity o f the organic crude extract and o f the purified com ponents were determined in different aqueous solutions. The pH -dependence o f surface and interfacial properties o f the two previously described rham nolipids (4, 20. 23) were exam ined in Teorell-Stenhagen-buffer (supplemented with 10% N aC l) at pH 3.0 and pH 9.0. All rham nolipids reduced the surface-tension from 72 to about 30 m N / m and the interfacial-tension from 42 to about 1 m N /m . The critical m icelle concentrations were o f the order o f 5 to 200 mg/1 depending on the structure o f the molecule. | | |

| Production of Four Interfacial Active Rhamnolipids from /i-Alkanes or Glycerol by Resting Cells of Pseudomonas species DSM 2874  | | | Abstract
| In a simple phosphate buffer or a sodium chloride solution resting cells o f Pseudom onas spec. DSM 2874 produced up to 15 g/1 o f different rham nolipids. The rham nolipid com position o f the organic crude extract depended on the temperature during the cultivation and on the C-source. The optimal sodium chloride concentration for rham nolipid form ation was about 100 mM/1 and the optimal phosphate buffer concentration about 65 mM/1. The optim al pH -value for the production o f rhamnolipids from «-alkanes or glycerol was in the range pH 6.0 -7 . 2 . W hile rhamnolipid formation with glycerol as the sole C-source show ed a w ide optim um ranging from 27 ° up to 37 °C, production o f rhamnolipids from «-alkanes had a sharp optim um at 37 °C. The addition o f multivalent cations, different N -sources and E D T A caused an inhibition o f rhamnolipid formation, while the «-alkane concentration had no influence. Specific rham nolipid formation decreased with increasing cell concentration. Various C-sources were suitable for the formation o f rhamnolipids by resting cells o f Pseudom onas spec. D S M 2874. Yields, which were comparable to those obtained on «-alkanes or glycerol, were found for stearic acid, fatty alcohols and vegetable oils. A study o f the time course o f glycolipid production o f resting cells was carried out in a 20 1-biorcactor with an intensor system and with «-tetradecane as the sole C-source. | | |

| Morphology and Chemical Contents of Dufour Glands of Pseudomyrmex Ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)  | | | Abstract
| The morphology and ultrastructure of the D ufou r gland o f a pseudomyrmecine ant is de scribed. The gland has an unusually large volume but possesses a very thin epithelial lining. Its morphology does not constitute a specific subfamily character as in some ant subfamilies. Analysis by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry o f the glands of three species showed them all to be rich in saturated linear hydrocarbons (C ]7:0 and C i5:0 dom inant) and isopropyl esters of the com mon fatty acids. Each species produces its own characteristic mixture of these substances. The most abundant ester in Pseudomyrmex ferruginea is isopropyl oleate and in P. sp. A it is isopropyl palmitate, in P.flavicornis there alate female o f P. ferruginea contained a very similar | | |
