Two bacterial species; Pseudomonas fluorescens and Pseudomonas putida and three different chemical compounds; copper sulphate (CuSO4), Indole butyric acid (IBA) and potassium chloride (KCl) were tested for their ability to induce resistance in lupine plants against wilt disease caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lupini. Treatment of seeds with the selected bacterial species and chemical compou...

(1) Polysaccharides were isolated from bovine liver capsule by extraction with 2m-potassium chloride followed by precipitation from 0.8m-potassium chloride with cetylpyridinium chloride. Chondroitin sulphate was eliminated by digestion with hyaluronidase. The yield of heparin was approx. 40% of that obtained after extraction of the papain-digested tissue. (2) The macromolecular properties of th...

This study compares the chemical composition of rainwater samples collected at two sampling sites, the first situated in the Rijeka city centre and the second in a suburban site 120 m above the sea level. The rainwater samples were analysed for precipitation weighted average concentrations of hydrogen, sulphate, nitrate, chloride, ammonium, sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium. The results...

Objective: To develop a simple and cheap UV spectrophotometric method for the quantitative estimation of Indinavir sulphate (400mg) in capsules and validate as per ICH guidelines. Methods: The optimized method uses a diluent 100% potassium dihydrogen ortho phosphate buffer (pH 4.0) for the estimation of assay of Indinavir sulphate whose λmax is 259 nm. Results: The developed method resulted in ...

Abstract A field study was carried out to determine the influence of foliage applied plant growth promoter and retardant in improving soil sulphur fertilizer use efficiency cotton during two consecutive summers 2014 2015. Experimental trial comprised three different sources (ammonium sulphate, potassium sulphate elemental sulphur) foliar spray including tap water taken as control. Among treatme...

Corynebacterium glutamicum is an industrially important microorganism used for amino acids production. The present work describes the production of L-lysine from Corynebacterium glutamicum IIB-C9 through submerged fermentation process. Fifteen fermentation media were screened in this study for L-lysine production. Out of these fifteen media, FM:13 was found a best one for maximum production of ...
