OBJECTIVES Phenol-sulfuric acid reagent is used to measure the concentration of glyco-polymers and -conjugates. There are several uncertainties on glycogen measurement in the tissues. We aimed to improve phenol-sulfuric reagent for microassay of glucose based-glycogen in small tube or microplate. MATERIALS AND METHODS The condition of the reaction was optimized and scaled down for both small ...

Утилизация композиционных материалов на основе термореактивных связующих является одним из главным аспектов производства и эксплуатации изделий них. Существует множество методов, однако основное внимание исследователей направлено разделение полимерной матрицы волокнистого наполнителя. В работе представлены результаты исследования по оценке возможности вторичной переработки стеклопластиков термо...

In the presence of some hydroxylated compounds as substrates, complexations of nickel() with the pentadentate N4S ligand methyl 2-{2-bis[(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-ylmethyl)amino]propylamino}cyclopent-1-ene-1-carbodithioate (Hmmpcd) having a pair of flexible pyrazolyl arms proceeded through unusual reaction paths involving C–N bond cleavage process. For example, the product 1 obtained in methanol...

A convenient method of preparing two- and three-coordinate Ni(I) complexes of the form L-NiI-X (L = P t Bu3, P i Pr3, DPPE, NHC; X = -N(SiMe3)(2,6- i Pr-C6H3), -O(2,6- t Bu2-4-Me-C6H2)) is reported. Protonation of the easily prepared anionic Ni(I) bis(amido) complex K{Ni[N(SiMe3)(2,6- i Pr-C6H3)]2} in the presence of an appropriate L-type ligand results in loss of HN(SiMe3)(2,6- i Pr-C6H3) and ...

phenol and its homologues are aromatics containing hydroxyl, methyl, amide and sulphonic groups attached to the benzene ring. these molecules are both anthropogenic and xenobiotics. phenols are environmental pollutants discharged through wastewaters from various industries. phenols are toxic to several biochemical reactions. however biological transformation of phenols to non-toxic entities exi...

A locally isolated Acinetobacter sp. Strain AQ5NOL 1 was encapsulated in gellan gum and its ability to degrade phenol was compared with the free cells. Optimal phenol degradation was achieved at gellan gum concentration of 0.75% (w/v), bead size of 3 mm diameter (estimated surface area of 28.26 mm(2)) and bead number of 300 per 100 ml medium. At phenol concentration of 100 mg l(-1), both free a...

The soil yeast Trichosporon cutaneum, which is distinguished by having a strictly oxidative metabolism, can be induced to utilize phenol as a sole carbon source. The present paper shows that such phenol-induced cells contain a specific, energy-dependent uptake system for phenol. Phenol uptake is not directly linked to its o-hydroxylation inside the cell, the first step of phenol metabolism. The...

The potential of water hyacinth ash for phenol adsorption from aqueous solution was studied. Batch kinetic and isotherm studies were carried out under varying experimental conditions of contact time, phenol concentration, adsorbent dosage and pH. The adsorption of phenol decreased with increasing pH. The Freundlich and Langmuir adsorption models were used for the mathematical description of ads...
