aacel9a [β-1,4-endoglucanase, (e.c:3.2.1.4)], was immobilized onto glutaraldehyde activated chitosan macrosphere by covalent attachment. the properties of the immobilized aacel9a were investigated by determining the optimum ph and optimum temperature for activity, thermal stability, and kinetic parameters. the immobilization process shifted the enzyme’s optimum temperature from 65 °c for the fr...

In an attempt to establish a relationship between proton pumping and the photocycle intermediates of bacteriorhodopsin, we have studied the effects of pH and temperature on flash-induced proton pumping and the photointermediates O640 and M412. The relative quantum yield of flash-induced proton pumping is both pH and temperature dependent. It is high in the acid pH range and at low temperatures ...

A new spectral species of the purple membrane of Halobacterium halobium has been observed below pH 3.2. The formation of this new species is temperature-dependent and is favoured by increasing temperature up to the physiological range of the organism. The rate of formation at pH 3.0 and 22 degrees C is 7.9 x 10-3s-1. The spectral distribution and temperature-dependence of the new species sugges...

Acidification of the seas, caused by increased dissolution of CO(2) into surface water, and global warming challenge the adaptation mechanisms of marine organisms. In boreal coastal environments, temperature and pH vary greatly seasonally, but sometimes also rapidly within hours due to upwelling events. We studied if copepod zooplankton living in a fluctuating environment are tolerant to climat...

Listeria monocytogenes is one of the major causes of infections in developing countries. In this study, chemical composition and anti-listerial effect of the essential oil of Zataria multiflora Boiss. alone and in combination with monolaurin were evaluated at different pH values (5, 6, and 7) and temperatures (5 ˚C and 30 ˚C). Chemical composition of Zataria multiflora</em...

in this article cuo/water nanofluid was synthesized by using polyvinylpyrolidone (pvp) as the dispersant.  thenanofluid stability period and the heat transfer enhancement were determinedby measuring the thermal conductivities. to study the nano-fluid stability, zeta (ζ) potential, and absorbency were measured under different ph values and pvp surfactant concentrations; also thermal conductivity...
