Pseudoalteromonas is a ubiquitous and abundant genus of marine bacteria commonly associated with algae. In this study, novel siphoviral-morphological bacteriophage, vB_PhoS_XC, was isolated from the coastal seawaters Qingdao (China) during bloom Ulva prolifera ( U. ) green tide. The morphology phage (icosahedron head 51 ± 1 nm in diameter; tail length 86 nm) characterized through transmission e...

a physic-mathematical model has been developed that is suitable for biosensors incorporating membranes and bisubstrate enzymes. the set of equations regarding the transport of reactants across the membrane, the bisubstrate enzymatic reaction, back diffusion of reactants and reaction products, are written down and simultaneously solved and transient response of the electrode is determined as a f...

chemical wastewater treatment is one of the attracting and common methods for wastewater treatment among the currently employed chemical unit processes. the use of coagulant-flocculant compound is one of the efficient methods for separating of paint and recovery of water. in this research, it was introduced and the effect of ph on removal of solid content from solution was studied experimentall...

Most invertases identified to date have optimal activity at acidic pH, and are intolerant to neutral or alkaline environments. Here, an acid invertase named uninv2 is described. Uninv2 contained 586 amino acids, with a 100 amino acids N-terminal domain, a catalytic domain and a C-terminal domain. With sucrose as the substrate, uninv2 activity was optimal at pH 4.5 and at 45°C. Removal of N-term...

Streptomyces thermoviolaceus was grown in a chemostat under conditions of glutamate limitation. The effects of growth rate on production of the antibiotic granaticin, extracellular protein and protease activity as components of secondary metabolism were studied at 37, 45 and 50 degrees C. The amount of each secondary metabolite synthesized was highly dependent on growth rate and temperature. Gr...

A simple, rapid and sensitive high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method for the determination of risperidone in human plasma was developed. An HPLC system based on a Nucleosil C8 column (150?4 mm) and a UV detector (?= 280 nm) were used. A mixture of sodium dihydrogen phosphate buffer-acetonitrile (55:45, v/v) adjusted to pH 6.0 at a flow rate of 1.5 ml min-1 was used as mobile phas...
