Abstract: A process for preparing a 2-hydroxy-4-substituted pyridine compound using a microbiological method, a novel microorganism, and a novel compound are provided. According to the process, a function of a microorganism or a product obtained therefrom is exerted on a 4-substituted pyridine of the general formula (1): wherein R is a methyl group, a carboxyl group, a carbamoyl group, a hydroxyiminomethyl group or a cyano group, to obtain the corresponding 2-hydroxy-4-substituted pyridine compound. The novel microorganisms are the Delftia species YGK-A649 (FERM BP-10389), Delftia species YGK-C217 (FERM BP-10388), or Acidovorax species YGK-A854 (FERM BP-10387) and the novel compound is a 2-hydroxy-4-pyridinaldoxime.

Abstract: Automobile parts comprising polybutylene naphthalenedicarboxylate, which are used at such portion(s) of an automobile that come to contact with a fuel, an oil, combustion gas, or the like are provided. Furthermore, engine canister comprising the same polymer as above is provided. These automobile parts or engine canisters exhibit excellent mechanical strength, heat resistance, dimensional precision, chemical resistance, acid resistance, alkali resistance, and impermeability to gasoline and gasohol.

Abstract: An electrical or electronic part having excellent resistance to moist heat, such as a coil bobbin, a condenser case, an IC carrier, a plug, a socket or a fuse case, formed from a polybutylene naphthalenedicarboxylate resin as a raw material; and a flame-retardant resin composition and an electrical part therefrom are also provided. The flame-retardant resin composition exhibits high fluidity and forms little burr, and the electrical part has excellent flame retardancy and well-balanced properties.

Abstract: A polyester resin composition;(A) which contains(a) a thermoplastic polyester resin, and(b) a carbon black and/or a graphite, and(B) in which the content of the above component (b) is 0.001 to 2% by weight based on the total weight of the components (a) and (b). The polyester resin composition may further contain (c) a bromine-containing flame retardant, (d) an antimony-containing flame retardant aid and (e) an inorganic filler in addition to the components (a) and (b). This polyester resin composition permits marking of fine lines and precise print with a high contrast with a laser light.
