The biotransformation activities of two hydrocarbonoclastic marine bacteria, Corynebacterium sp. and Sphingomonas sp. 2MPII, on n-eicosane and phenanthrene were investigated. During a 56-day experiment, in pure and mixed cultures, Corynebacterium sp. and Sphingomonas sp. 2MPII removed about 70% of the

The rate of formation of high-curvature intermediates or disordered cubic phases in N-methyldioleoylphosphatidylethanolamine (N-methyl-DOPE) dispersions with or without additives was studied by 31P NMR spectroscopy. In N-methyl-DOPE dispersions, both the L alpha liquid-crystalline phase and the hexagonal HII phase convert
