Small Scale Preparation of Methyl Red Indicator

Incorporation of L-methionine-methyl-14C into gentamicins. II. Large-scale preparation of methyl-14C-gentamicins.

Methyl-14C-gentamicins were prepared from incubation of Micromonospora purpurea in the presence of added methyl-'4C-L-methionine, and products with high specific radioactivity were isolated in satisfactory yields. In the previous paper1), we have shown in shake flask fermentation a high and selective incorporation of radioactivity from methyl-14C-L-methionine into gentamicins. Consequently, we ...

Small–scale Mechanical Carrot Washer for Research Sample Preparation

Carrot samples from field research studies of irrigation, fertility, and variety trials must be cleaned prior to weighing and grading. Soil and other foreign materials must be removed, especially for medium– and heavy–textured soils in which a preharvest irrigation is used to loosen the soil prior to hand harvesting. The objective of this project was to develop a low–cost mechanical carrot wash...

Treatment of small scale gold mining wastewater using pilot-scale sedimentation and Cocopeat filter bed system

The use of amalgamation process to recover gold from mined ores by the small-scale gold miners in the Philippines and other developing countries produces and dispose of untreated wastewater to the receiving water bodies. In this study, a field-scale filter bed system was constructed to treat heavy metal metal-laden wastewater collected from small-scale gold mining site in Paracale, Camarines No...

Photocatalytic degradation of methyl red dye

Introduction Most dyes used in the pigmentation of textiles, paper, leather, ceramics, cosmetics, inks and food-processing products are derived from azo dyes, which are characterised by the presence of one or more azo groups (-N=N-) in their structure. Approximately 15% of the dyes produced worldwide are lost within waste water during synthesis and processing. This waste represents a great haza...
