Anaplerotic Reactions in Carbon Dioxide Fixation.

Reactions in supercritical carbon dioxide

Use of conventional organic solvents often leads to the formation of hazardous waste, the disposal of which is a matter of environmental concern. Carbon dioxide is considered to be a green reaction medium and a good replacement for conventional organic solvents as it is benign and leads to elimination/reduction of hazardous wastes. Use of CO2 at near/above critical conditions has several additi...

Carbon Dioxide Fixation in Marine Invertebrates*

Carbon dioxide fixation has not been studied extensively in the invertebrate animal groups. In an early study Van Niel et al. (1) with Cl1 showed fixation of COZ into succinic acid in the protozoan Tetrahymena geleii. Hultin and Wessel (2) studied incorporation of C% into proteins of developing sea urchin eggs (Psammechinus miliaris) with attention on metabolic patterns of development rather th...

Carbon dioxide fixation in the brain.

Upon intracarotid administration of ammonia to cats, there is a significant increase of cerebral glutamine without a corresponding decrease in the level of cerebral glutamic acid (3). Similar observations in dogs have been reported by others (4). Since the supply of glutamic acid from the circulating blood is insufficient for the formation of the additional amount of glutamine, the dicarboxylic...

A Sustainable Approach for Carbon Dioxide Fixation

Carbon dioxide is a green house gas that exists in earth’s atmosphere. In recent decade’s due to increment of population and rapid industrialization, the amount of CO2 has increased significantly and has caused global warming and other problems. Different methods are used for reduction of CO2 concentration in air one method is storing CO2 gas below the ground, but this manner doesn’t provide a ...
