After treating Mycoplasma pneumoniae cells with the nonionic detergent Triton X-100, an undefined, structured protein complex remains that is called the 'Triton X-100 insoluble fraction' or 'Triton shell'. By analogy with eukaryotic cells and supported by ultrastructural analyses it is supposed that this fraction contains the components of a bacterial cytoskeleton-like structure. In this study,...

Article history: Received on: 02/03/2013 Revised on: 29/03/2013 Accepted on: 15/04/2013 Available online: 12/05/2013 This study is an investigation of the physicochemical interaction of Losartan potassium (LST K), an angiotensinII receptor (type AT1) antagonist, with micelles of triton X, a nonionic surfactant. The effect of micelles on the spectral properties of LSTK was monitored on at pH 7.4...

Abstract This study was set to the effects of surfactants on crops using Triton X-100, one widely used for various purposes including agricultural uses, as a target surfactant. The X-100 growth wheat and lettuce were studied germination shoot not significantly affected by X-100. With lettuce, increasing concentrations tend negatively affect growth, possibly due absorption lettuce. average fresh...

Cryo-TEM was carried out on samples containing polyelectrolyte-micelle complexes, formed by combining poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDADMAC), a strong cationic polyelectrolye, with oppositely charged mixed micelles of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and nonionic Triton X-100 (TX100), in 0.40 M NaCl. Complexation appears to involve the formation of micelle-rich regions, presumably within ...
