Sulfate-reducing bacteria, like Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough, use the reduction of sulfate as a sink for electrons liberated in oxidation reactions of organic substrates. The rate of the latter exceeds that of sulfate reduction at the onset of growth, causing a temporary accumulation of hydrogen and other fermentation products (the hydrogen or fermentation burst). In addition to hydroge...

Sulfate Reducing Bacteria (SRB) are a diverse heterogeneous group of anaerobic microorganisms inhabiting in various environmental conditions. SRB are one of the most important groups of microorganisms that participate in various nutritional cycles of the environment and cause degradation of various organic matters through the process of dissimilatory sulfate reduction. They are known to be impl...

Effect of Potassium Sulfate Application on Some Physiological Characteristics Date Palm Plantlet Zahedi Cultivar (Phoenix dactylifera cv. Zahdei) Under Water Stress

In previous papers (1, 2) it has been shown that in dilute aqueous solutions aldehydes may be oxidized in the a! position by oxidizing agents such as ceric sulfate, potassium dichromate, and potassium ferricyanide. Normal butyraldehyde and isobutyraldehyde yielded the most conclusive results; the latt,er was converted by ceric sulfate at 80’ into cr-hydroxyisobutyraldehyde and acetone. The evol...

Objective(s) The aims of present study were to elucidate the effect of NaHS as a H2S donor on precontracted rat trachea smooth muscle, role of epithelium and nitric oxide in this action. Materials and Methods Tracheal rings from male adult Wistar rats were isolated and mounted in an organ bath containing Krebs–Henseleit solution under 1.5 g resting tension and contractions were recorded isom...

in the present of methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate, the synthesis of arylidene heterobicyclic pyrimidinones is studied by condensation of aromatic aldehyde, cyclopentanone, and urea or thiourea. using solvent-free conditions, non-toxic and inexpensive materials, simple and clean work-up, short reaction times and good yields of the products are the advantages of this method.

The relationship between hydrogen ion secretion and the transport of other electrloytes was examined in the isolated urinary bladder of the water turtle. Symmetrical solutions which were free from exogenous carbon dioxide and bicarbonate bathed the two surfaces of the preparation, and the spontaneous electrical potential of the bladder was nullified by a voltage clamp. Active transport of sodiu...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The role of hydrogen peroxide in the regulation of cerebral arterial tone is not completely understood. Previous studies have demonstrated that hydrogen peroxide causes vasodilation of small cerebral arteries. The present study was designed to determine the mechanisms responsible for relaxations of large cerebral arteries to hydrogen peroxide. METHODS Rings of canine mi...
