Alpha-galactosidase is a glycoside hydrolase enzyme that hydrolyses the terminal alpha-galactosyl moieties from glycolipids and glycoproteins. Pseudomonas sp. MCCMB3 an alpha galactosidase producer was isolated from the rock soil of Kulasekaram, Kanyakumari district, South India. Totally 10 strains were isolated, when compared with other strains, predominant enzyme activity has been observed in...

A bacterium, isolated from rabbit’s waste and identified as Cellulomonas sp., had cellulase and thermostable α-amylase activity when grown on wheat bran. Maximum activity of thermostable α-amylase was obtained by adding 3% soluble starch. However, soybean oil (1 ml l) could increase the production of α-amylase and cellulase in wheat bran. The α-amylase was characterized by making a demonstratio...

laboratory experiments were performed to determine the effect of various scarification treatments at four temperature regimes on germination of licorice seeds . a randomized complete block design with four replications was used. germination counts were made every day for 2 weeks. at 50c, none of the chemically and mechanically scarified and non scarified seeds germinated. at 15, 25, and 350...

Br-doping Li4Ti5O12 microspheres (LTOS) with micro-nano hierarchical structure are synthesized using cetyltrimethylammonium hydroxide-assisted hydrothermal and further calcination. The morphology of the obtained LTOS were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy photoelectron spectroscopy. It is found that spherical spinel-type microstructure do not change after appropri...

In the recent years, sustainable energy demand is growing among civil and industrial sectors. However, renewable sources present an aleatory behaviour, improvement of their reliable secure employment have received great interest. this framework, storage devices can be used to smooth market increase control on fluxes over transmission lines. To aim, such as Li-ion batteries are widely in several...

Cellulose is the most abundant biopolymer on earth, recognized as the major component of plant biomass. The cellulolytic microorganisms were isolated from gut of earthworm (Eisenia foetida). Using Glycerol asparagine agar media, the organisms were identified as Actinomycetes sps.. The endoglucanase activity of the culture broth was determined during actinomycetes growth by measuring the release...

Fifty isolates capable of producing phytase were isolated from various soil samples. Out of fifty isolates five isolates showed maximum phytase activity. P6 isolate was selected for further study P6 isolate was biochemically characterized as Pseudomonas spp. The culture conditions were optimized for maximum enzyme production. The best carbon and nitrogen sources for maximum phytase production w...

Alexander Pazur Botanisches Institut der Universität, Menzingerstr. 67, D-80638 München Z. Naturforsch. 50c, 833-839 (1995); received June 7/July 5, 1995 Lipid Bilayer, Black Lipid Membrane, Rudin-Müller Technique, Membrane Capacity, Magnetic Fields Black lipid membranes were prepared on a Teflon septum separating electrically the two chambers of a Teflon cuvette, using the technique of Mueller...

A method for detecting possible structural genes in D. melanogaster based on gene dosage dependency is presented. By making thirty crosses between Y-autosome translocations, and an attached-4 cross, it is possible to produce large duplications (approximately 150 salivary gland chromosome bands in length) for every autosomal region with the exception of 83DE. The usefulness of the technique was ...
