Let's start with the bromine. It's just alphabetically in front so this would be one bromo-two chloro-benzene. Now it gets a little bit more involved the IUPAC which we know is kind of the group that named most things. They tend to everything else we've seen. So far they came up with a separate naming mechanism from the common names but benzene it's so ingrained in the organic chemistry computing community that all of the benzene or benzene derivative molecules they just kind of said: “3) …”. So here's a couple of common ben­zene derivatives so if you have this molecule right here, if you have this mole­cule right here, I would actually draw the PI electrons as a circle. Actually, I'll draw it with the double bonds. So let's say you have this molecule right here and over here you have noh8 right there this is called a phenol. This is called a phenol, so it's not called benzene anymore and if you had a molecule that look like this, just like a phenol, so it's essentially it is a phenol. 4)…, that's making this a phenol. So you start numbering there. One and then you get to the two. So this is two bromophenol and unfortunately this is one of those things you just kind of have to memorize. That a phenol is really just a benzene ring with an OH group. Another one that is probably a good idea to memorize. I mean 5) . So it's I guess a good idea to understand as many names as possible. So if you just have a benzene ring and then you just have a methyl group attached to that benzene ring this is called toluene. And once again if you had a fluorine right over there this would be one, two, three, four O2 toluene. Now a couple of oth­er ones that you will see and once again as you know if you watched many Khan Academy videos, I hate memorizing things, but these are just names and these aren't systematically derived. 6) . So it is one of those things you kind of have to memorize. So if you have a benzene ring where the functional group, that's kind of defining the benzene ring, it's essentially becoming a mean. We haven't actually covered videos on means yet, and I'll do that in a future video but it's essentially, it's replaced one of the hydrogen's in ammonia. Ammonia has three hydrogens and one lone pair here we've replaced one of the hydro­gens. Actually, there's two hydrogens here we've replaced one of the hydrogens with a benzene ring. This type of thing you call it aniline. If I put a fluoro here, this would be two fluoro and allene. So you use whatever the base molecule is and then you just name it really the way we've named a lot of things before and I'll just introduce you to two more.
61
So we have a benzene ring and then you have a carboxyl group and we'll talk more about carboxyl groups in the future but it creates carboxylic acid this thing right here, this hydrogen it can actually be released quite easily and we'll talk about that in the future this right here is called benzoic acid. Benzoic acid and this name, there is a little bit more logic to this. You have the bends part for the benzene. So let me make this in different colors. 7) . So this actually has some logical naming to it. Now the last one I'll introduce you to is very similar to this. Here we just have a hydrogen and it would be an aldehyde. So let me draw that and you could almost imagine what that's going to be called. It's ben­zaldehyde. You have your benzene ring and then instead of this carboxyl group you have an aldehyde group. There's implicitly a carbon here.
Let me make that just in case it's the first time you're seeing it. You have a carbon instead of an OH group. You have just a hydrogen. And so once again you have a benzene. It actually makes sense to put the bends over there and then you have the aldehyde group and then you have an aldehyde group right over here. 8) . Aldehyde and we'll study a means and aldehydes and carbox­ylic acids in much more detail in future videos and actually see reactions that involve them. But I just wanted to expose you to this and when you see these kinds of names you don't you know become intimidated.
PART C
I. Read the texts and find information about:
1) what PAHS are;
2) what biotransformation of PAHs is typically accompanied by;
3) where PAH derivatives are present;
4) what chemical properties PAH have.
POLYNUCLEAR AROMATIC HYDROCARBON DERIVATIVES
PAHs, in the current context, are organic compounds with two or more aromatic rings in various structural configurations. PAHs constitute a large and diverse class of organic compounds. However, derivatives such as tetralin (1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene) and decalin (decahydronaphthalene, bicy­clodecane) are not included in this group but are included in the alkane group because of the saturated ring.
62
The biotransformation of PAHs is typically accompanied by the accumula­tion of neutral and acidic oxidation products. Both neutral and acidic water­soluble fractions are also formed when various mixed bacterial cultures degrade weathered crude oil. However, most PAH derivatives occur as hybrids encom­passing various structural components, such as in the PAH, benzopyrene.
Generally, an increase in the size and angularity of a PAH molecule results in a concomitant increase in hydrophobicity and electrochemical stability. The molecule stability and hydrophobicity of PAHs are two primary factors that contribute to their persistence of in the environment.
PAH derivatives are present as natural constituents in fossil fuels and (through refining) in crude oil products and can be formed during the incom­plete combustion of organic material and are therefore present in relatively high concentrations in products of fossil fuel refining. PAH derivatives that are re­leased into the environment may originate from petroleum products such as in­cluding gasoline, diesel fuel, and fuel oil. The concentration of PAHs in crude oil and crude oil products varies widely, depending on (1) the crude oil and (2) the production method.
The toxic, mutagenic, and carcinogenic properties of PAHs have resulted in some of these compounds (including naphthalene, phenanthrene, and anthra­cene) to be designated as priority pollutants. In addition, the solubility of PAHs in aqueous media is very low, which affects degradation of these compounds and can lead to biomagnification within an ecosystem.
The chemical properties, and hence the ability of PAHs to undergo bio­transformation, are dependent in part upon both molecular size (i. e., the number of aromatic rings) and the pattern of ring linkage. Ring linkage patterns (also known as molecular topology) in PAHs may occur such that the tertiary carbon atoms are centers of two or three interlinked rings, as in the linear kata­condensed PAH anthracene or the pericondensed PAH pyrene.
Interest in the biotransformation degradation mechanisms and the mecha­nism by which biotransformation of PAHs can be achieved is of utmost im­portance because of the ubiquitous distribution of these chemicals in crude oil and their potential effect on the environment. Evidence also suggests that in some cases, PAH-toxicity also increases with size, up to at least four or five
63
fused benzene rings. The relationship between PAH-environmental toxicity and increasing numbers of benzene rings is consistent with the results of various studies correlating environmental biotransformation rates and PAH molecule size.
The biodegradation of naphthalene (the simplest PAHs) process was optimized with preliminary experiments in slurry aerobic microcosms. From soil samples collected on a contaminated site, a Pseudomonas putida strain (designated as M8), capable to degrade naphthalene was selected. Microcosms were prepared with M8 strain by mixing noncontaminated soil and a mineral medium. Different experimental conditions were tested varying naphthalene concentration, soil/water ratio, and inoculum density. The disappearance of hy­drocarbon, the production of carbon dioxide, and the ratio of total heterotrophic and naphthalene-degrading bacteria were monitored at different incubation times. The kinetic equation that best fitted the disappearance of contaminant with time was determined. The results showed that the isolated strain enhanced the biodegradation rate with respect to the natural biodegradation.
Of the four-ring PAHs, fluoranthene, pyrene, chrysene, and benzanthracene have been investigated to various degrees. Fluoranthene, a PAH, containing a five-membered ring, has been shown to be metabolized by a variety of bacte­ria, and pathways describing its biodegradation have been proposed. Fluoran­thene has been used as a model compound in studies that have investigated the effects of surface-active compounds on PAH biodegradation. Comparisons of the mineralization of fluoranthene by four fluoranthene-degrading strains in
the presence of the nonionic surfactants showed that re­sponses differed between strains. In addition, the bio­transformation of pyrene,
64
a pericondensed PAH, as well as the benzo(a) pyrene, has been reported and several proposed mechanistic path­ways have been suggested.
Generally, aromatic constituents with five or more rings are not easily at­tacked and may persist in the environment for long periods. High-molecular­weight aromatics comprise 2–10 % w/w conventional (light) petroleum and up to 35 % w/w of the more viscous petroleum. But, currently, there is still a limited information regarding the bacterial biotransformation of PAHs-derivatives with five or more rings. Most studies have focused on the five-ring benzo(a)pyrene due to the potential hazards of this chemical to human.
Measuring the success of the biotransformation of petroleum-related PAH derivatives is based on several parameters. Though the lower n-alkanes are generally considered the most biodegradable compound class within crude oils, other studies point to exceptional conditions in which PAH derivatives degrade preferentially to n-alkanes.
An increase in the understanding of the biotransformation of PAH­degrading microbes and the mechanisms by which PAH biotransformation oc­cur will prove helpful for predicting the behavior of these compounds leading to the development of practical PAH biotransformation strategies in the future.

1. This paper describes the poten- tial for algal biomass production in conjunction with wastewater treat­ment and power generation within a fully biotic Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC). The anaerobic biofilm in the anodic half-cell is generating current, whereas the phototrophic biofilm on the cathode is providing the oxygen for the Oxygen Reduc­tion Reaction (ORR) and forming biomass. The MFC is producing electricity with simultaneous bio­mass regeneration in the cathodic half-cell, which is dependent on the nutrient value of the anodic feed­stock. Growth of algal biomass in the cathode was monitored, as­sessed and compared against the MFC power production (charge transfer), during this process. MFC generation of electricity activated the cation crossover for the for­mation of biomass, which has been

This work is presenting a simple and self-sustainable MFC operation with minimal dependen­cy on chemicals and an energy generation system utilizing waste products and maximizing energy turnover through an additional bio­mass recovery.

2. Aromatic chemicals that contain an unsaturated ring with alternating double and single bonds find nu­merous applications in a wide range of industries, e. g. paper and dye manufacture, as fuel additives, elec­trical insulation, resins, pharmaceu­ticals, agrochemicals, in food, feed and cosmetics. Their chemical pro­duction is based on petroleum (BTX; benzene, toluene, and xy­lene), but they can also be obtained from plants by extraction. Due to petroleum depletion, health com­pliance, or environmental issues such as global warming, the bio­technological production of aromat­ics from renewable biomass came more and more into focus.

a complex polymeric aromatic mol­ecule itself, is a natural source of aromatic compounds. Many micro­organisms are able to catabolize a plethora of aromatic compounds and interception of these pathways may lead to the biotechnological production of value-added aromatic compounds which will be discussed for Corynebacterium glutamicum. Biosynthesis of aromatic amino ac­ids not only gives rise to l-trypto­phan, L-tyrosine and l-phenylala­nine, but also to aromatic interme­diates such as dehydroshikimate or chorismate from which value-added aromatic compounds can be de­rived. In this review, we will sum­marize recent strategies for the bio­technological production of aro­matic and related compounds from renewable biomass by Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas putida, C. glu­tamicum and Sac-charomyces cere­visiae. In particular, we will focus on metabolic engineering of the ex­tended shikimate pathway.

tested this biomass as a potential feedstock for catalytic gasification
in supercritical water (T ≥ 374 °C, p ≥ 22 MPa) for methane produc-
tion using a batch reactor system. The coke formation tendency during the heat-up phase was evaluated as well as the cleavage of biomass­bound sulfur with respect to its re­moval from the process as a salt. We found that sulfur is not suffi­ciently released from the biomass during heating up to a temperature of 410 °C. Addition of alkali salts improved the liquefaction of fer­mentation residues with a low con­tent of minerals, probably by buffering the pH. We found a deac­tivation of the carbon-supported ru­thenium catalyst at low catalyst-to­biomass loadings, which we attrib­ute to sulfur poisoning and fouling in accordance with the composition of the fermentation residue. A tem­perature of 400 °C was found to maximize the methane yield. A resi­dence time dependent biomass to
catalyst ratio of 0.45 g g−1 h−1 was
found to result in nearly full con­version with the Ru/C catalyst. A Ru/ZrO2 catalyst, tested under similar conditions, was less active.

production of aro­matic compounds of the extended shiki­mate pathway from renewable biomass
4. A biorefinery concept based on alder tree plantations on degenerated soil is developed to comply with indicators of economic feasibility, fossil fuel depletion concerns, and long-term sustainability issues. The potential performance of feedstock and biorefinery has been assessed through a literature study and by using a method developed during the study for first hand assessment and comparison of biorefinery sys­tem characteristics. The management of an average al­der plantation in a 6-year coppicing system was found to fixate atmos­pheric nitrogen to the soil in yearly
rates between 50 and 200 kg ha−1
and produce a 6-year total dry bio-
mass quantity around 33 Mg ha−1
plus yearly leaf production. This production could facilitate a biore­finery to serve society with produc­tion of energy related and value­added products to substitute the use of fossil fuels while at the same time replenishing degenerated soils.
