Abstract: A variant strain of Agrobacter radiobacter has been found to produce a unique heteropolysaccharide containing D-galactose, D-glucose and pyruvic acid in approximate molar ratios of 2:15:2 in a seventeen member repeat unit having the structure shown below, wherein Glc represents D-glucose, Gal represents D-galactose and Pyr represents pyruvic acid, with the numerals indicating the positions of linkage in these ring structures. The heteropolysaccharide is useful in mobility control in oil reservoir formations, especially when crosslinked with trivalent metal cations (Cr.sup.3+, Al.sup.3+, Fe.sup.3+ or Ti.sup.3+) to form a gel which preferentially fills high permeability zones in such reservoirs.

Abstract: Normal olefins such as n-butenes can be converted to iso olefins such as isobutylene by skeletal isomerization over catalysts of boron-beta zeolites having pore sizes of at least about 5 Angstroms and containing boron in the framework structure thereof. The boron-beta zeoliteS have sufficient acidity to catalyze the skeletal isomerization of normal olefinsto iso-olefins. The catalysts can be used to produce iso-olefins for reaction with alcohols in integrated processes to produce alkyl tertiary alkyl ethers such as MTBE.
