XLIV.—Oxidation of oxalic acid by potassium dichromate

Precise Coulometric Titrations of Potassium Dichromate

This paper reports results of a continuing investigation to evaluate coulometric methods of analysis and to develop highly precise and accurate analytical methods for important materials, based upon this technique. Earlier papers described the coulometric titrations of acids and bases [1] 1 and of halides [2]. The present research is concerned with a typical oxidation-reduction titration, the a...

Enzymatic Decarboxylation of Oxalic Acid* by William

Although it has been recognized that oxalic acid is decomposed by a variety of microorganisms (2-6), relatively little is known of the details of oxalic acid metabolism. The present study represents an attempt to establish the mechanism of oxalate degradation at the enzyme level by the use of a bacterium isolated from soil. Partially purified enzyme preparations obtained from the organism catal...

Oxalic acid

Oxalic Acid Production by Aspergillus Niger

Oxalic acid produced by Aspergillus niger under submerged conditions in this work. Optimization done with different sources of carbon, nitrogen, minerals and at different pH then biomass production done of Aspergillus niger under submerged conditions for 7 days at room temperature. Further supernatant taken for titration and mycelium for oxaloacetate acetylhydrolase determination by SDS-PAGE. K...

The Metabolism of Oxalic Acid*

103 Abstract: Oxalic acid is a widely occurring natural product of animals, plants and other organisms. It sometimes occurs as a free acid, but more commonly as a calcium salt. Organisms exhibit various levels of oxalate content which even show fluctuations among the organs of the same individual. Although oxalate seems to engage in the metabolism and adaptation of animals, plants and fungi, it...
