Atomic absorption spectrophotometery showed significant levels of contamination by Cd, Hg, Cu, Mn, Zn, Pb, Cr and Sn in fish habitats. Fatty acids from meat were detected by gas chromatography. C12:0, C20:0, C16:1(n-7), C16:1(n-9), C18:1(n-9), C20:1(n-9), C18:2(n-6), C18:4(n-3), C22:4(n-6), C20:5(n-3) and C22:4(n-6) fatty acids were found missing in fish obtained from area of higher pollution w...

Metal salphen containing complexes have found a broad variety of applications in catalysis as well material science. Most these materials are either mono-nuclear or polymeric network materials. Discrete macromolecular polynuclear salphens still rare and mostly two-dimensional structures. Here we present three-dimensional trinuclear Ni(II)- Pt(II)-cage compounds with covalently bound [2+3] salic...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of ambient temperature and sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) supplementation in diets for growing lambs on meat fatty acids composition. A slaughter study was carried out on 12 male Black Belly Barbados lambs randomly drawn from a prior growth trial (245 days). The lambs were divided into four equal groups and allotted in a 2×2 factorial design. ...

Escherichia coli C20, isolated from domestic chicken gut microbiota, demonstrated multidrug resistance to the tested antibiotics. Here, we present the draft genomic sequences of E. coli C20, along with that of its plasmid. The final assembly yielded a chromosome of 4,640,940 bp and plasmid of 277,380 bp, with average coverages of 146.95-fold and 35.63-fold, respectively.

To improve beef quality, a selection of specific breeds for crossbreeding, genotyping, and candidate genes in breeding animals can be some the solutions. The objective this study was to determine effects FASN, SCD, GH on carcass fatness fatty acid (FA) composition intramuscular lipids crossbred Holstein × (Simmental, Belgian Blue, Limousin, Piemontese). allelic genotypic distribution polymorphi...

The diether core membrane lipid sesterterpanyl-phytanyl-glycerol (so-called extended archaeol and often abbreviated C20-C25) is considered as a hallmark of Haloarchaea, clade archaea thriving under extreme high salinities. We here report about occurrence in different saline aquatic settings with salinity ranging from ca. 50 psu (5 % NaCl w/v) to saturation (ca. 350 psu). This demonstrates that ...

In this study, oil was extracted from the liver and visceral fat of Patin (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus) and refined. The yield of oil after refining was 49.98%. The major yield loss (34.20%) happened during the degumming procedure. Fatty acids found in the crude and refined oil were C12:0, C14:0, C14:1, C16:0, C16:1, C18:0, C18:1, C18:2, C18:3, C18:4, C20:0, C20:1, C20:4, C20:5, and C22:6. The ...
