1. Experimental conditions have been found in which small amounts of methanol (approximately 2.5mm) accumulated when washed cell suspensions of methane-grown Pseudomonas methanica and Methanomonas methanooxidans were incubated with methane+oxygen mixtures in Warburg flasks. 2. The methanol formed could be separated completely from water by fractional distillation through glass helices followed ...

Optimized Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged, and Safe (QuEChERS) pretreatment methods for determination of six polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) residues in fish and aquatic invertebrates samples were investigated. Large volume injection (LVI) coupled gas chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS) with selected reaction monitoring (SRM) was used to provide a very sensitive and select...

The glutamine carrier from rat kidney mitochondria, solubilized in dodecyl octaoxyethylene ether (C12E8) and partly purified on hydroxyapatite, was identified and completely purified by Celite chromatography. On SDS/PAGE, the purified glutamine carrier consisted of a single protein band with an apparent molecular mass of 41.5 kDa. When reconstituted into liposomes, the glutamine carrier catalys...

Lipase de Aspergillus niger foi imobilizada por deposição utilizando Celite e as atividades de hidrólise e esterificação, a estabilidade e a enantioseletividade das formas livre e imobilizada foram comparadas. Ambas as preparações mostraram propriedades bioquímicas similares, com atividade máxima em pH 6,0 e temperatura de 30-40 C. Não foram observadas diferenças na atividade hidrolítica em fun...

Cement is the world's largest building material and fundamental to modern socio-economic development. However, its production generates high consumption of energy resources, large emissions greenhouse gases, pollutants in processes. Due above, standards that formulate prescription Portland cements according chemical composition have changed Colombia established scope specifications covering hyd...
