Carboxymethyl cellulose decomposition by intestinal bacteria of cockroaches.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The amounts of carboxymethyl cellulase present in the midguts and hindguts of two species of cockroaches were determined. Numbers of colonies from the guts which digested carboxymethyl cellulose, visualized by flooding plates with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide after incubation, were counted. The numbers indicated the presence of a resident, multiplying population of predominantly anaerobic carboxymethyl cellulose-digesting bacteria in both species of cockroaches. Anaerobic and facultatively anaerobic species of bacteria were isolated, and their carboxymethylcellulase activities were assayed.

The first stage to have access to a reservoir is the drilling operation. The proper development of this operation plays a major role in increasing productivity. It must be pointed out that the drilling fluid (mud) is pivotal in achieving this objective. Among these fluids, water-based fluids are the most common ones, which have been utilized to drill approximately 80% of all wells and are m...

Graft copolymers of acrylamide on carboxymethyl cellulose (d.s 0.4-0.5) were prepared by the use of ceric ion, ceric ion/reductant molecule initiator systems in aqueous medium. The graft copolymers were characterized by IR spectroscopy. The extent of graft copolymerisation was measured in terms of grafted chains as a function of both ceric ion and ceric ion/reductant molecule concentrations. It...
