Three biosynthetic pathways are disclosed for microorganism bio-production of 1,4-Butanediol from various carbon sources. Exemplary methods are provided. The recombinant microorganisms comprising any of these 1,4-Butanediol biosynthesis pathways may also comprise genetic modifications directed to improved tolerance for 1,4-Butanediol.

A process for the preparation and modification of additives, with a zeolite base and a high silica alumina ratio (SAR) like the ZSM-5, to increase the yield of propene and LPG in low severity FCC operations, that seeks to maximize the production of medium-distillates with low aromaticity and to minimize molecular cracking in the LCO range. The additives involved guarantee an increase in light olefin yields without altering the yield or the quality of the LCO produced. The innovative process includes surprising actions from rare earths (RE) on the active sites of zeolite, that at once partially block their pores and, in this way, make molecular cracking in the medium-distillate range difficult, which preferably occur at low reaction temperatures and keeps the remaining sites quite active. These sites are sufficiently active to crack smaller molecules in the gasoline range, guaranteeing an overall increase in light olefins and allowing the additive involved to be used industrially in operations to maximize medium-distillates in an FCC unit. This new additive may be obtained by modifying any commercial ZSM-5 zeolite additive.

The present invention provides a method of processing a substrate and a method of manufacturing a silicon carbide (SiC) substrate in which, when annealing processing is performed on a crystalline silicon carbide (SiC) substrate, the occurrence of surface roughness is suppressed. A substrate processing method according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a step of performing plasma irradiation on a single crystal silicon carbide (SiC) substrate (1) and a step of performing high temperature heating processing on the single crystal silicon carbide (SiC) substrate (1) in which the plasma irradiation is performed.

A method for synthesizing aluminum nitride is disclosed, wherein an ignition agent is formed by mixing an azide powder (such as sodium azide; NaN3) and aluminum powder, and is paved on an ignition portion of a reactant-containing body having a plurality of ratios of aluminum to a diluent, wherein the content of the diluent is gradually increased in accordance with the propagation direction of combustion wave generated in the combustion synthesis process. The method for synthesizing aluminum nitride is to ignite the ignition agent located in the ignition portion of the reactant-containing body under an ambience in which the pressure is less than 1 atm, and to introduce nitrogen gas as the nitrogen source into the reaction chamber after ignition.

The present invention relates to a process for the production of piperidine derivatives with microorganisms. This is carried out by incubating starting compounds in the presence of a microorganism under conditions effective to produce piperidine derivative products. Suitable microorganisms can be from any one of the genus of Stemphylium, Gliocladium, Bacillus, Botrytis, Cyathus, Rhizopus, Pycniodosphora, Pseudomonas, Helicostylum, Mucor, Gelasinospora, Rhodotorula, Candida, Mycobacterium, and Penicillium. In another aspect of the invention, starting compounds are incubated in the presence of Cunninghamella bainieria under conditions effective to produce piperidine derivative products.
