Anaerobic biotechnology using sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) is a promising alternative for reducing long-term stockpiling of phosphogypsum (PG), an acidic (pH ~3) by-product of the phosphate fertilizer industries containing high amounts of sulfate. The main objective of this study was to evaluate, for the first time, the diversity and ability of anaerobic marine microorganisms to convert sulf...

SDS is widely used detergent in house holds and Industry. It is known to be toxic to fishes and also to animals. In the present review, we have emphasized on biodegradation of this detergent by bacteria, the pathway of biodegradation and also the enzymes involved in the degradation.

Sulfate-bearing soils, which causes many engineering problems, e.g., cracking, collapse, and pavement layer settlement, are often encountered in the construction of pavements. Ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS)-magnesia (MgO) has been regarded as an effective curing agent treatment sulfate-bearing soil containing gypsum. However, field soils usually include other forms sulfates, such s...

The major objectives of this study were to monitor the effect of cross-linking of cationic chitosan in acidic media with sulfate anion during granules preparation by wet granulation method prior to tableting using theophylline (TPH) as a model drug. The prepared granules and the compressed tablets were subjected to in vitro evaluation. The properties of the prepared matrix granules and the comp...

PURPOSE To investigate the in vitro effects of gentamicin sulfate, vancomycin hydrochloride, sodium cefazolin and ceftriaxone on glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase enzyme (G6PD) purified from sheep lenses. METHODS G6PD was purified from sheep lenses with a yield of 66.8% and a specific activity of 7.8 U/mg proteins, and 10,400-fold using ammonium sulfate fractionation and 2,5-ADP Sepharose 4B ...

The interaction of a bovine serum albumin (BSA) protein with the mixture anionic sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and cationic dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB) has been investigated by small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) dynamic light (DLS).

This study investigated calcium sulfate and chitosan on the textural modification microstructure of tofu made from lentils. The addition varying amounts (0–12 mM) (0–1.0%) into lentil milk could affect gel properties lentil-based tofu. properties, including hardness cohesiveness, significantly increased with 12 mM sulfate, exhibiting a slightly discontinuous network structure regular pore netwo...
