Abstract:
The present invention provides a Brevundimonas sp. strain SD212-derived peptide having β-ionone ring-2-hydroxylase activity and a gene encoding the same, to thereby make it possible to produce rare carotenoids in which a hydroxyl group is introduced at the position 2(2′) carbon in their β-ionone ring in large quantities.The present invention also provides a novel gene encoding an enzyme which introduces a hydroxyl group at the position 3(3′) carbon in the β-ionone ring of carotenoids, and a novel gene encoding a geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate synthase.

Abstract:
A magnetic tape of a linear magnetic recording system is provided that suppresses a lateral tape motion to realize a high track density. A body to be processed (magnetic tape) is allowed to travel in a prescribed direction between a supply roll and a winding troll through guide rolls at a speed, for instance, 400 m/minute. Then, a grinding and polishing tape (lapping tape) using an abrasive material having a particle diameter of 9 μm is moved to a direction the same as the above-described direction between a supply roll and a winding roll through a pressing roll at a speed, for instance, 14.4 cm/minute. The pressing roll presses the surface of a back coat layer side of the body to be processed by a guide block from an upper part to allow the grinding and polishing tape to come into contact with the surface of the back coat layer of the tape. Thus, a grinding and polishing (lapping) process is carried out to form a texture on the back coat layer.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a magnetic recording medium having a preferable electro-magnetic conversion characteristic, while suppressing the self magnetization loss during recording and the thickness loss during reproduction and reducing the surface friction coefficient, which in turn improves the abrasion resistance, running condition, and durability.The magnetic recording medium includes a non-magnetic support body, a non-magnetic layer containing at least a non-magnetic powder dispersed in a binder and formed on the non-magnetic support body, and one or more than one magnetic layers containing ferromagnetic powder dispersed in a binder, wherein the non-magnetic layer contains fatty acid and a magnetic layer serving as the uppermost layer contains alkyl carboxylic acid dimethyl amino alkyl ester. It is preferable that the non-magnetic layer contain 0.05 to 5 weight parts of fatty acid for 100 weight parts of the non-magnetic powder, and the magnetic layer serving as the uppermost layer contain 0.05 to 5 weight parts of alkyl carboxylic acid dimethyl amino alkyl ester for 100 weight parts of the ferromagnetic powder.
Abstract:
A process for producing 2-methyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione which comprises subjecting 1,3-cyclohexanedione, formaldehyde and a dialkylamine to Mannich reaction to obtain a 2-dialkylaminomethyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione, and subjecting the 2-dialkylaminomethyl to hydrogenolysis, and a process for producing 2-methylresorcinol which comprises aromatizing 2-methyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione obtained. According to these processes, it is possible to produce high-purity 2-methylresorcinol and 2-methyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione commercially easily and advantageously.
Abstract:
Pure 1,4-dihydroxy-2-arylnaphthoate is prepared in high yield by allowing 1,4-dihydroxy-2-naphthoic acid to react with triarylphosphite in the presence of an acid catalyst selected from organic and inorganic acids and crystallizing from a mixed solvent consisting essentially of lower alcohols and water until 1,4-dihydroxy-2-naphthoic acid is isolated and is further purified by crystallization from a mixed solvent consisting essencially of lower alcohols, water and extraction solvent, i.e., alkyl-substituted aromatic hydrocarbons or halogen-substituted aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbons.

Abstract:
An outboard engine is supported on a casing which forms an internal discharge chamber having an opening at its top end and a discharge passage with a discharge port near its lower end. The cooling water discharge pipe and an exhaust pipe discharge into the chamber, the cooling water discharge pipe doing so at a lower elevation than the exhaust pipe. A water storage chamber is formed between the casing and the exhaust pipe in heat transfer relationship therewith, and circulation of water is provided to and from the water storage chamber.
