The study was conducted to investigate the effects of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) on seedling emergence, morphological characteristics, and photosynthetic pigments of Chenopodium album (L.) in lead (Pb) contaminated soil. The Pb contaminated soils were taken from Hirmand River. The soil samples mixed with 0.71 g Li-1 Pb (PbNO3)2 to increase the Pb concentration. EDTA was added to the...

The fungus Penicillium purpurogenum was found to produce intracellular ß-glucosidase. Maximum activity of ß-glucosidase was observed on sucrose. Various cultural parameters of cultivation of P. purpurogenum for production of ß-glucosidase were optimized. Maximum enzyme content was observed after 96 hours of cultivation at 30°C. Addition of amino acids histidine and cysteine induced ß-glucosidas...

EDTA can complex with radionuclides (RNs) to form negatively charged complexes, making it difficult for clay minerals retard the diffusion of RNs waste. The coefficient in water ( D w ) is an important parameter safety assessment repository. In this study, effectsof on metal ions (Cu 2+ , Sm 3+ Nd Lu and Zn were investigated by a capillary method. experimental results showed that [Cu-EDTA] 2- [...

in this study cell wall carbohydrates with kit method and  excreta viscosity  of 13 elite  triticale varieties  was measured. the results showed, the average and range changes values of anti-nutritional compounds in the thirteen varieties of triticale included; total ß-glucan, soluble ß-glucan, insoluble ß-glucan, total arabinoxylane, soluble fiber, insoluble fiber and total soluble and insolub...
