Optimization of lipids enzymatic hydrolysis present in swine slaughterhouse effluents
Effluents from slaughterhouses are characterized by a high concentration of oils and greases that can cause problems in conventional treatments. The fats and proteins present in effluents have low biodegradability, which represents serious problems for the biological degradation processes. The degradation of difficult pollutants in more easily degradable products can be mediated by enzymes. Enz...
متن کاملEpidemiology of swine toxoplasmosis in Taiwan.
From July 1987 to June 1988, serum samples from 3,880 pigs from eight geographic locations in Taiwan were examined for Toxoplasma gondii antibodies using the latex agglutination test (LA test) and IgM-enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (IgM-ELISA). A total of 1,073 samples (27.65%) were positive by the LA test. The percentage of positive reactions varied by location as follows: Taoyuan 44.44% (1...
متن کاملPrevalence of Enterocytozoon bieneusi in swine: an 18-month survey at a slaughterhouse in Massachusetts.
Slaughterhouse pig samples were analyzed by PCR for Enterocytozoon bieneusi infection. Thirty-two percent were found to be positive, with rates being higher over the summer months. Three isolates from pigs were identical in their ribosomal internal transcribed spacer sequence to human E. bieneusi type D, two were identical to type F (from a pig), and nine were previously unreported. The viabili...
متن کاملQualitative study of organic compounds in wastewaters of a swine slaughterhouse.
The main purpose of this work was the preliminary qualitative study of organic compounds in wastewaters of swine slaughterhouses. The samples were collected in a local abattoir and submitted to Liquid-Liquid Extraction (LLE) and Solid-phase Extraction (SPE) with XAD-4 resin as stationary phase. The instrumental analysis was performed by Gas Chromatography with Mass Spectrometer Detector (GC/MSD...
متن کاملObservations on some problems encountered in the routine performance of the dye test for toxoplasmosis.
The dye test for toxoplasmosis (Sabin and Feldman, 1948) depends upon the fact that toxoplasma organisms lose their affinity for methylene blue when they are exposed to specific antibody plus a heat-labile " accessory factor" at present available only from certain human sera. Accessory factor has been shown to differ from complement in several respects. Sera containing antibodies which produce ...
