Utilization Of Sterol Glycosides In Fame (Fatty Acid Methyl Ester) Byproducts From The Biodiesel Industry

Identification and Characterization of Isolates of Phytophthora infestans Using Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (FAME) Profiles

The recent resurgence of the late blight pathogen, Phytophthora infestans (Mont.) de Bary, as a major agricultural threat, as well as the associated changes in genetic complexity of this organism, have necessitated careful scrutiny and characterization of populations of P. infestans so that appropriate control methods can be implemented. Several techniques for molecular and genetic characteriza...

Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (FAME) Succession in Different Substrates as Affected by the Co-Application of Three Pesticides

INTRODUCTION In intensive agriculture areas the use of pesticides can alter soil properties and microbial community structure with the risk of reducing soil quality. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study the fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) evolution has been studied in a factorial lab experiment combining five substrates (a soil, two aged composts and their mixtures) treated with a co-applicat...

Evaluation of Biodiesel Blending of Cocos Nucifera Oil Methyl Ester Produced from Alkaline-Catalyzed Transesterification Reaction

The prospect of using cocos nucifera Oil for production of biodiesel via transesterification reaction was investigated. The use of ethanol for the transesterification reaction instead of methanol was also evaluated. Test quantities of biodiesel were produced using 100 g, 20.0% and 0.8% of </span...

Identification of Microorganisms Using Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (fame) Analysis and the Midi Sherlock® Microbial Identification System

For more than 15 years, a substantial portion of the pharmaceutical industry has relied on the MIDI Sherlock® Microbial Identification System for identification in their microbiological testing laboratories. The Sherlock System identifies microorganisms based on gas chromatographic (GC) analysis of extracted microbial fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs). Microbial fatty acid profiles are unique fr...
