Utilization of Algal Consortium to Produce Biofuels and Byproducts For Reducing Pollution load

Algal biorefinery process utilizes every component of algal biomass to produce multiple useful fuel products. In this technique, acid pretreatment of algal biomass hydrolyzes microalgal carbohydrates into fermentable sugars, makes lipids more extractable and a protein part accessible for additional products. In the present study, Chlorella sorkiniana produced higher quantity of biodiesel than B...

The functions of polarized water and membrane lipids: a rebuttal.

In 1973, experimental evidence was reported in support of the view that water polarized in multilayers rather than simple lipid is responsible for the semipermeable properties of living cell membranes. The present article presents a full rebuttal to a subsequent attack on that view.

Paramagnetic effects on the NMR spectra of isotropic bicelles with headgroup modified chelator lipids and metal ions.

We characterized the paramagnetic effects of nine metal ions on NMR signals of isotropic bicelles with headgroup-modified lipids. We found that Mn(2+), Gd(3+) and Dy(3+) show evidence for influencing NMR signals on the surface more than inside and on the disc edge, providing distance information in the bilayers.
