A new antibiotic, aterrimin (Lewis et al., 1953), is unstable in aqueous solution at pH 7, and insoluble at lower pH levels. Aterrimin can be dissolved in absolute alcohol and the solutions can be used satisfactorily in a cylinder-plate type of assay (Heatley, 1944). Further investigation has established that sevbral other organic solvents are nontoxic to various bacteria when used in cylinders...

Daphnia ( Daphnia magna) or water flea is a planktonic crustacean commonly found in canals and other waterways. It has been used as a standard organism for toxicity testing and toxicological reaction to environmental pollutants. The study is concerned ...

Valorization of the abundant renewable lignocellulose through an efficient chemoenzymatic strategy to produce furan-based platform compounds has raised great interest in recent years. In this work, a newly prepared sulfonated tin-loaded rice husk-based heterogeneous chemocatalyst UST-Sn-RH was utilized transform corncob (75.0 g/L) into furfural (72.1 mM) at 170 °C for 30 min aqueous system. To ...
