Inventor: WITHOLT BERNARD
IPC: C12N15/52
Filed: 1988-01-14
Abstract: This invention relates to a process for the microbiological production of compounds containing a terminal hydroxyl or epoxy group from an aliphatic substrate or a substrate with an aliphatic side chain, using micro­organisms genetically engineered so that they have retained their capacity to perform the terminal oxidation of the substrate, but are no longer able to convert the resulting oxidation product further to any significant extent. Preferred substrates are n-alkanes, n-alkenes, and n-alkadienes containing 6-12 carbon atoms. Preferred micro-organisms are genetically engineered  Pseudomonas   oleovorans  and  Pseudomonas   putida  strains lacking an active plasmidic alkanol-dehydrogenase gene. The invention also relates to micro-organisms thus genetically engineered.

Abstract: In a pressure meter catheter which carries a pressure sensor in its measuring tip a reference pressure is admitted to effect zero setting in accordance with the invention while the instrument is in situ during a measurement, the reference pressure permitting adjustment of an evaluating unit at a remote location. Preferably, the measuring tip is surrounded in sealing fashion by a balloon which can be inflated through the line in the catheter tube through which atmospheric pressure is applied to the sensor as reference pressure for the measurement. Thus the same pressure is available both at the measuring connection and at the reference connection of the sensor, and the pressure differential measured by the sensor consequently is exactly zero.
