Rhamnolipid-induced removal of lipopolysaccharide from Pseudomonas aeruginosa: effect on cell surface properties and interaction with hydrophobic substrates.
Little is known about the interaction of biosurfactants with bacterial cells. Recent work in the area of biodegradation suggests that there are two mechanisms by which biosurfactants enhance the biodegradation of slightly soluble organic compounds. First, biosurfactants can solubilize hydrophobic compounds within micelle structures, effectively increasing the apparent aqueous solubility of the ...
متن کاملHydrophobic and electrostatic cell surface properties of Cryptosporidium parvum.
Microbial adhesion to hydrocarbons and microelectrophoresis were investigated in order to characterize the surface properties of Cryptosporidium parvum. Oocysts exhibited low removal rates by octane (only 20% on average), suggesting that the Cryptosporidium sp. does not demonstrate marked hydrophobic properties. A zeta potential close to -25 mV at pH 6 to 6.5 in deionized water was observed for...

“Environmental seasonality. . . a basic component of the ecosystem within which our ancestors evolved. . . left its mark indelibly upon the makeup of our biology and our behaviour.” ( Johnston, 1993) “the ability to perceive changes in daylength indicated by changes in the duration of melatonin secretion. . . is the only essential function attributable to melatonin in mammals to date.” (Arendt,...

ترانسفورماتورهای قدرت از اجزای اصلی شبکه تامین انرژی الکتریکی می باشند که عملکرد قابل اطمینان ترانسفورماتورها یکی از فاکتورهای مهم و تعیین کننده در تامین انرژی الکتریکی محسوب می شود. در نتیجه بررسی و مانیتور عملکرد ترانسفورماتورها در شبکه و همچنین عیب یابی این ترانسفورماتورها غیرقابل اجتناب و ضروری می باشد. به طور کلی عایق های مایع در صنعت فشار قوی کاربردهای متفاوتی دارند که مهمترین وظیفه آنها...
15 صفحه اولThe influence of different concentrations of melatonin on the cell surface hydrophobic characteristics of Neisseria meningitidis.
The cell surface hydrophobicity of micro-organisms is a characteristic that has been associated with the colonization of mammalian epithelia and with their capacity to induce diseases. Melatonin is a hormone produced by the pineal gland that affects the immune response mechanism. This study investigated, as an expression of the virulence of Neisseria meningitidis, how its hydrophobic characteri...
