Degradation of 2-naphthylamine-1-sulfonic acid by Pseudomonas strain TA-1.

Giant strain with low cycling degradation in Ta-doped [Bi1/2(Na0.8K0.2)1/2]TiO3 lead-free ceramics

Degradation of 2-methylbenzoic acid by Pseudomonas cepacia MB2.

We report the isolation of Pseudomonas cepacia MB2, believed to be the first microorganism to utilize 2-methylbenzoic acid as the sole carbon source. Its growth range included all mono- and dimethylbenzoates (with the exception of 2,5- and 2,6-dimethylbenzoates) and 3-chloro-2-methylbenzoate (but not 4- or 5-chloro-2-methylbenzoate) but not chlorobenzoates lacking a methyl group. 2-Chlorobenzoa...

Aflatoxin B1 Degradation by a Pseudomonas Strain

Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), one of the most potent naturally occurring mutagens and carcinogens, causes significant threats to the food industry and animal production. In this study, 25 bacteria isolates were collected from grain kernels and soils displaying AFB1 reduction activity. Based on its degradation effectiveness, isolate N17-1 was selected for further characterization and identified as Pseudo...

Preconcentration of Trace Vanadium with the Ion Pair of 2-Nitroso-1-Naphthol-4-Sulfonic Acid and Tetradecyldimethylbenzylammonium Chloride Onto Microcrystaline Naphthalene and Determination by Derivative Spectrophotometry

Vanadium is quantitatively retained on 2-nitroso-1-naphhthol-4-sulfonic acid tetradecyldimethlbenzyammonium chloride onto microcrystalline naphthalene in the pH range of 3.0-4.0 from a large volume of aqueous solutions of various alloys and synthetic samples. After filtration, the solid mass consisting of the vanadium complex and naphthalene was dissolved with 5.0 mL of dimethylformamide an...

Degradation of dexamethasone by acclimated strain of Pseudomonas Alcaligenes.

This study is to investigate the use of microbial remediation technology for degradation of dexamethasone in polluted water. A strain of Pseudomonas Alcaligenes with the ability of dexamethasone degradation was isolated from hospital polluted water. This strain was further acclimated into a bacterial strain that could highly degrade dexamethasone. Domesticated bacterial proteins were separated ...
