Enzymatic Decarboxylation of Oxalic Acid* by William

Although it has been recognized that oxalic acid is decomposed by a variety of microorganisms (2-6), relatively little is known of the details of oxalic acid metabolism. The present study represents an attempt to establish the mechanism of oxalate degradation at the enzyme level by the use of a bacterium isolated from soil. Partially purified enzyme preparations obtained from the organism catal...

Oxalic Acid Production by Aspergillus Niger

Oxalic acid produced by Aspergillus niger under submerged conditions in this work. Optimization done with different sources of carbon, nitrogen, minerals and at different pH then biomass production done of Aspergillus niger under submerged conditions for 7 days at room temperature. Further supernatant taken for titration and mycelium for oxaloacetate acetylhydrolase determination by SDS-PAGE. K...

The effect of rumen adaptation to oxalic acid on selection of oxalic-acid-rich plants by goats.

Rumen microbial degradation is an important route for detoxification of secondary plant compounds encountered in the diets of free-grazing ruminants. Exposure to diets containing particular secondary plant compounds can lead to increased rates of secondary compound degradation in the rumen. An experiment was conducted to determine whether rumen adaptation to oxalic acid would influence the diet...

Reproductive toxicology. Oxalic acid.

Background: We conducted an assessment of knowledge about blood borne pathogens (BBP) and use of universal precautions at first level care facilities (FLCF) in two districts of Pakistan. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional survey and selected three different types of FLCFs ; public, general practitioners and unqualified practitioners through stratified random sampling technique. At each fac...
