A Comparison of the Effects of Microwave Irradiation and Heat Treatment of T4 and T7 Bacteriophage
نویسنده
چکیده
In an attempt to elucidate the mechanism of sterilization via microwave irradiation, a comparison of irradiated and heated T4 and T7 coliphages was executed. Samples of T4 and T7 were subjected to 20 seconds of microwave irradiation using a 2,450 MHz microwave oven. Additionally, samples of T4 and T7 were heated to 83° C for 25 minutes. The effects of the different treatments were evaluated via survival assays and agarose gel electrophoresis. The heat-treated phage clearly exhibited decreased survival, but the irradiated phage did not. Digestion of the irradiated and heated phage with endonuclease KpnI followed by agarose gel electrophoresis was not successful for determination of the mechanism of phage inactivation. _______________________________________________________________

Whole soybeans serve as one of the main sources of protein in ruminant nutrition. Different processing methods have been employed for ruminal protein protection. The present study was conducted to determine the effects of microwave irradiation [900 W; 2, 4 and 6 min] on quality, ruminal degradability and estimated in vitro intestinal digestibility of availability soybean crude protein....
متن کاملA Novel Approach for Direct Preparation of Hydroxyapatite Nanoparticles from natural source using Microwave
Hydroxyapatite (HA) is one of the most common biocompatible ceramic with wide usages in various aspects of medicine due to the resemblance to the mineral bone tissue. The particle size of HA has a key roll in determination of the reaction rate at the interface of natural bones/artificial. Accordingly, this paper tries to propose a novel approach for the preparation of HA nanoparticles from natu...
متن کاملThe Effect of Artificial Aging Treatment and Lubrication Modes on the Cutting Force and the Chip Surface Morphology when Drilling Al-Si-Mg (A356) Cast Alloys
This article reports the effects of various artificial aging methods and lubrication modes (dry, mist, wet) on the recorded cutting forces and chip morphology in drilling Al-Si-Mg (A356) cast alloys. In the course of this work, the work part sampled were as-received alloy (T0), solution heat-treated alloy (SHT) and then aged alloys at 155°C, 180°C, and 220°C (T4, T6, T61, T7), respectively. The...
