An attempt has been made to partially characterize the substance responsible for the rhythmic incorporation of 35S (inorganic sulfate) in the course of the cell cycle in early Limnaea embryos. This trichloroacetic acid (TCA) insoluble substance is partly pronase sensitive, and dissociable into two fractions after treatment with NaCl. One of these remains TCA-insoluble while the other is TCA sol...

Inorganic nanoand mesoporous materials can be prepared with a variety of compositions, structures, and macroscopic morphologies. Due to their wide range of properties and applications, a detailed understanding of the mechanisms governing their formation under different synthesis conditions is of particular interest. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy offers a variety of powerful and complementary ...

Fertilization has a large impact on the soil microbial communities, which play pivotal roles in soil biogeochemical cycling and ecological processes. While the effects of changes in nutrient availability due to fertilization on the soil microbial communities have received considerable attention, specific microbial taxa strongly influenced by long-term organic and inorganic fertilization, their ...

a new solution aiming at coal biodesulphurization has been developed based on the use of bacteria. the most frequently used species of bacteria for removal of inorganic sulphur compounds are thiobacillus ferrooxidans, thiobacillus thiooxidans and thiobacillus acidophilus. in this study the coal sample was decomposed initially and desulphurization experiments was carried out in pure and mixed cu...

an experiment was carried out to evaluate and compare the effects of organic and inorganic selenium (se) sources on broiler male birds (ross 308). uniform broiler male chicks divided in to five groups with six replicates were fed with either normal feed (without supplemental se, negative control), 0.25 ppm of inorganic se, 0.5 ppm of inorganic se, 0.25 ppm of inorganic se + 0.25 ppm of organic ...

a risk assessment study was conducted to predict the expected hazardous influence on the ecosystem resulted from urbanization and industrialization activities at helwan area, egypt. to achieve these goals, soils, plants and water samples were collected from helwan area, and their total concentrations of inorganic contaminants (cd, cr, co, cu, fe, mn, ni, pb, and zn) and organic pollutants; such...

Hybrid framework compounds, including both metal-organic coordination polymers and systems that contain extended inorganic connectivity (extended inorganic hybrids), have recently developed into an important new class of solid-state materials. We examine the diversity of this complex class of materials, propose a simple but systematic classification, and explore the chemical and geometrical fac...

The generation of biominerals and hard tissue in nature is directed and templated by biomacromolecules. In many systems, polysaccharides play a significant role during the assembly of the inorganic phase. Polysaccharides exhibit a hierarchical multiscale order as well as self-assembly properties and they appear in a large variety of structures. The directed deposition of inorganic phases on pol...

1. Oxygen radicals in biological systems and the importance of iron Oxygen radicals can be either organic or inorganic. The organic radicals such as the peroxy (ROO') and alkoxy (RO') are those derived from complex molecules like the polyunsaturated fatty acids. The inorganic oxygen radicals are the superoxide radical (O,-*) and the hydroxyl radical (OH'). Formation of the highly reactive hydro...
