Microbial degradation of polyethylene glycols.
Mono-, di-, tri-, and tetraethylene glycols and polyethylene glycols (PEG) with molecular weight up to 20,000 were degraded by soil microorganisms. A strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa able to use a PEG of average molecular weight 20,000 was isolated from soil. Washed cells oxidized mono- and tetraethylene glycols, but O2 consumption was not detectable when such cells were incubated for short per...
متن کاملMechanism of Precipitation of Proteins by Polyethylene Glycols
The apparent solubilities of various proteins (14,000 to 670,000 daltons) were measured in the presence of polyethylene glycols (PEGS) of different sizes. All of the solubility curves, determined by measur ing the protein concentration in the supernate of centrifuged mixtures, exhibited the characteristic linear dependence of log S (g/liter) on PEG concentration (%, w/v). For human albumin in P...
متن کاملAerobic and anaerobic biodegradation of polyethylene glycols using sludge microbes
The aerobic and anaerobic biodegradation of polyethylene glycols (PEGs) in a model wastewater was investigated employing sludge microbes from Xiamen Terylene plant. The effect of molecular weight (MW) on the aerobic/anaerobic biodegradation of PEGs was assessed by performing shake flasks/sealed flasks experiments, respectively, using organic model wastewater containing PEG 600, 6000 and 20,000....
متن کاملBiphasic liquid mixtures of ionic liquids and polyethylene glycols.
We have found that 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ionic liquids (ILs) can form immiscible liquid mixtures with some polyethylene glycols (PEGs). Binary mixtures of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride with PEG of molecular weight 1500, 2000, or 3400 g mol(-1), or of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride with PEG of molecular weight 2000 or 3400 g mol(-1), have been found to give rise to en...
متن کاملPolyethylene glycols as embedding media in histochemical work.
The embedding and sectioning of tissues in paraffin is a slow process. For histochemical purposes, especially for the demonstration of enzymes, preparation of tissue sections in paraffin is not desirable since the exposures of tissues to high temperatures and to several changes of dehydrating and clearing agents are detrimental to the preservation of enzymes. Gomori's (1946) experience with the...
