Dimethylglycine provides salt and temperature stress protection to Bacillus subtilis.
Glycine betaine is a potent osmotic and thermal stress protectant of many microorganisms. Its synthesis from glycine results in the formation of the intermediates monomethylglycine (sarcosine) and dimethylglycine (DMG), and these compounds are also produced when it is catabolized. Bacillus subtilis does not produce sarcosine or DMG, and it cannot metabolize these compounds. Here we have studied...
متن کاملAssessment of Effective Dose Equivalent from Internal Exposure to 222Rn in Ramsar City
Introduction In this study, effective dose equivalent for the public due to internal exposure to 222radon (222Rn) was evaluated in three regions of Ramsar, a northern coastal city in Iran. Materials and Methods Measurements were carried out using a radon monitoring device. Outdoor and indoor radon concentrations were measured within 24 hours with an integration in...
متن کاملToxic jaundice from occupational exposure to chloroform.
Two outbreaks involving 31 persons with jaundice are described. All had originally been diagnosed as having viral hepatitis. But subsequent muestigations showed that all had been exposed to chloroform at work. Toxic jaundice from chemical exposure presents a similar clinical picture to that of viral hepatitis, but fever appears to be uncommon. Doctors who look after workers should be familiar w...
متن کاملDehydroxymethylation: an unusual reverse reaction of nucleophilic addition to formaldehyde
An unusual dehydroxymethylation has been observed in an acyclic primary alcoholic system. The relief of steric congestion is considered as the primary driving force in this reaction. 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. The nucleophilic additions of carbon nucleophiles to aldehydes or ketones are highly favourable processes. Nucleophilic addition of carbon anion to a carbonyl group is normal...
متن کاملPersonnel internal radiation exposure to iodine-125 in a radioiodination laboratory: Exposure levels and trends
ABSTRACT Background: Monitoring internal exposure of individuals handling significant amounts of iodine-125 (I-125) for iodination is of great importance. These individuals are potentially exposed to external contamination, and internal contamination through inhalation, ingestion and intact skin absorption, to I-125. Considering radiological toxicity of this radionuclide its monitoring in the w...
