Cellophane Membranes
نویسنده
چکیده
A cellophane membrane has proved a simple device for separating the L variant of Streptobacillus moniliformis from the bacterial form, as reported by P6rezMiravete and Calder6n (1956). When a culture was inoculated on cellophane resting on clear medium, they observed the development of the L type colonies only on the agar, whereas bacterial growth flourished on the surface of the cellophane. It was apparent that growth factors had passed through the membrane to the bacteria and that the L form of the organism had selectively filtered through the pores of the cellophane. A similar procedure proved expedient for the study of the L variant colonies of the genus Proteus.

A Comparison of the Electrophoretic Velocities of Cellophane and Collodion Suspensions with Electroosmotic Velocities through Membranes of the Same Materials
It is demonstrated that the isoelectric concentration of ThCl(4) is much greater for electroosmosis in small-pored membranes (cellophane, collodion) than for electrophoresis of particles of the same material. An explanation for the difference is advanced, based on the influence of the small pores in preventing complete development of the electrical double layer.

متن کاملEnzyme diffusion from Trichoderma atroviride (= T. harzianum P1) to Rhizoctonia solani is a prerequisite for triggering of Trichoderma ech42 gene expression before mycoparasitic contact.
A plate confrontation experiment is commonly used to study the mechanism by which Trichoderma spp. antagonize and parasitize other fungi. Previous work with chitinase gene expression (ech42) during the precontact period of this process in which cellophane and dialysis membranes separated Trichoderma harzianum and its host Rhizoctonia solani resulted in essentially opposite results. Here, we sho...
متن کاملModification of cellophane membranes by -radiation: Effect of irradiation doses on electrochemical parameters
Modification caused in cellophane matrix (a highly hydrophilic natural polymer) by -irradiation was studied by determining changes in different electrochemical parameters obtained from measurements carried out with the membranes in contact with NaCl and MgCl2 solutions. Three different irradiation doses (10 Gy, 30 Gy and 80 Gy) were used in order to consider its possible effect in membrane modi...
متن کاملModification of cellulosic membranes by -radiation: Effect on electrochemical parameters and protein adsorption
This work is focused on the study of possible changes in the electrochemical transport parameters of cellulose membranes due to the effect of ionising radiation. A cellophane membrane (membrane C5) was irradiated with a dose of 80 Gy (membrane Ir80) and differences in the electrochemical parameters for pristine and irradiated samples are studied. Salt permeability, ion transport number, permsel...
