Selective culturing of pseudomonads that could degrade quinoline led to enrichment cultures and pure cultures with expanded substrate utilization and transformation capabilities for substituted quinolines in immobilized and batch cultures. Immobilized cells of the pseudomonad cultures rapidly transformed quinolines to

Three fluorescent halide-sensitive quinolinium dyes have been produced by the reaction of the 6-methylquinoline heterocyclic nitrogen base with methyl bromide, methyl iodide, and 3-bromo-1-propanol. The quaternary salts, unlike the precursor molecule, are readily water soluble and the fluorescence intensity of
