A comparison of histochemical detection of GM1 ganglioside in cryostat sections using cholera toxin B-subunit after fixation with 4% formaldehyde and dry acetone gave tissue-dependent results. In the liver no pre-treatment showed detectable differences related to GM1 reaction products, while studies in the brain showed the superiority of acetone pre-extraction (followed by formaldehyde), which ...

in laboratory experiments the toxicity of acetone was investigated against four species of stored-product insects. in empty-space trials, estimates of the lethal concentrations of acetone (lc, 72-h exposure) for 50% mortality against adults of the lesser grain borer, rhizopertha dominica (f.), red flour beetle, tribolium castaneum (herbst), rice weevil, si-tophilus oryzae (l.) and eggs of the a...

There is current interest in biological sources of acetone, a volatile organic compound that impacts atmospheric chemistry. Here, we determined that leucine-dependent acetone formation is widespread in the Vibrionaceae. Sixteen Vibrio isolates, two Listonella species, and two Photobacterium angustum isolates produced acetone in the presence of L-leucine. Shewanella isolates produced much less a...

~ 113-The histochemical reaction of choline dehydrogenase was completely inhibited by the pretreatment of cryostat sections with either absolute acetone or lO<yo water-in-acetone at room temperature (25°C). The temperature of the organic solvents was critical in the inhibition of the staining for choline dehydrogenase. As the temperature was lowered, the inhibitory effects of the pretreatment d...

Carbon monoxide and acetone measurements are presented for five aircraft measurement campaigns at midlatitudes, polar and tropical regions in the northern hemisphere. Throughout all campaigns, free tropospheric air masses, which were influenced by anthropogenic emissions, showed a similar linear relation between acetone and CO, with a slope of 21–25 pptv acetone/ppbv CO. Measurements in the ant...

the kinetic study of the condensation reaction between phloroglucinol and acetone was investigated at 30, 35, 40 and 45±0.05 °c in 100% methanol. the hydrochloric acid concentrations used were 0.0261, 0.0364, 0.0577 and 0.0728 m. the reaction was investigated with and without a promoter, thioglycollic acid (tga), and taking into account the functionality (h) of phloroglucionol. the reaction was...

Alicycliphilus denitrificans strain BC grows anaerobically on acetone with nitrate as electron acceptor. Comparative proteomics of cultures of A. denitrificans strain BC grown on either acetone or acetate with nitrate was performed to study the enzymes involved in the acetone degradation pathway. In the proposed acetone degradation pathway, an acetone carboxylase converts acetone to acetoacetat...
