A broth medium containing tryptone and manganese sulfate supported heavy sporulation of Bacillus stearothermophilus ATCC 7953 (NCA 1518) and four isolates identified as B. stearothermophilus. Maximal spore yields were obtained by use of inocula grown anaerobically in a medium containing glucose with aeration of sporulation medium via bubbling. After an extended stationary period, sporulation oc...

The present study describes the effectiveness of removal of selected aqueous anions by several metalloligs, i.e., metal derivatives of a commercially available immobilized ligand, IMLIG, Octolig. This material consists of polyethylenediamine moieties covalently bound to a high-surface area silica gel (CAS Registry number = 404899-06-5). The metals involved are copper, cobalt, iron, nickel, mang...

We compared the effects of freezing serum on the determination of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) subfractions by two dual-precipitation methods, heparin and manganese chloride/dextran sulfate (HM/DS) (Gidez et al., J Lipid Res 1982;23:1206-23) and DS/DS (Warnick et al., Clin Chem 1982;28:1574), and by ultracentrifugation. Storing serum for 1 month at -70 degrees C resulted in reduced HDL3-chole...

A general overview on the prospective of various oxidation and combined processes in the treatment of tannery industry effluent are reported. Various oxidation and combined processes such as UV/H2O2/Hypochlorites, Fenton and Electro-oxidation, photo-chemical, photo-catalytic, electro-catalytic oxidation, wet air oxidation, ozonation, biological followed by ozone/UV/ H2O2, coagulation or electro...

A lipase producing Acinetobacter haemolyticus TA106 was isolated from healthy human skin of tribal population. The maximum activity of 55 U/ml was observed after medium optimization using the "one variable at a time" and the statistical approaches. The optimal composition of the medium was determined as (% w/v or v/v): tryptone--1, yeast extract--0.5, sodium chloride-1, olive oil-1, Tween-80 1,...

Cells of Leptothrix discophora SS1 released Mn2+-oxidizing factors into the medium during growth in batch culture. Manganese was optimally oxidized when the medium was buffered with HEPES (N-2-hydroxyethylpiperazine-N'-2-ethanesulfonic acid) at pH 7.5. Manganese-oxidizing activity in the culture medium in which this strain had been grown previously was sensitive to heat, phosphate, Tris, NaN3, ...

This paper studies the spatial distribution characteristics and controlling factors of groundwater chemistry in Chahannur Basin. One hundred seventy shallow samples (50 m shallow) are collected, seven ions, pH, TDS, TH, iron, manganese, COD, barium other indicators, detected. Piper triplex graph, Gibbs model, ion ratio, analysis variance Kriging interpolation used to carry out research. The res...
