Plants acquire phosphorus from soil solution as phosphate anion. It is the least mobile element in plant and soil contrary to other macronutrients. It precipitates in soil as orthophosphate or is absorbed by Fe and Al oxides through legend exchange. Phosphorus solubilizing bacteria play role in phosphorus nutrition by enhancing its availability to plants through release from inorganic and organ...

In preparing intracellular microbial samples for one- or two-dimensional electrophoresis, trichloroacetic acid (TCA) precipitation is frequently used to remove interfering compounds. Solubilization of TCA precipitate typically requires the addition of a number of chaotropes or detergents, in a multistep process, that requires hours to carry out. In this study, a simple, rapid, one-step method t...

This paper focuses on the solubilization of Fe in dust resulting from the complexation of short chain (2-5) monoand di-carboxylic acids, as well as HULIS. The authors determine that small dicarboxylic acids increase the solubility of Fe, while monoprotic acids have little-to-no effect. The authors also report that this solubilization effect decreases as the carbon chain on the organic acid incr...

Chloropinane and chloromenthene, synthesized from pinene limonene, respectively, were compared with their non-halogenated analogs n-hexane for ability to solubilize natural products of interest such as ?-carotenoids, vanillin, rosmarinic acid. was six times more efficient than hexane ?-carotene solubilization. Chloromenthene 15 better hexane. Vanillin 20 soluble in chloropinane chloromenthene 3...

Changes in neutral sugar, uronic acid, and protein content of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill) cell walls during ripening were characterized. The only components to decline in amount were galactose, arabinose, and galacturonic acid. Isolated cell walls of ripening fruit contained a water-soluble polyuronide, possibly a product of in vivo polygalacturonase action. This polyuronide and the o...

In food formulations, lipids are normally incorporated as emulsions stabilized by different types of emulsifiers. The emulsifiers can affect fatty acid (FA) solubilization they interact with FA. main purpose the present work is development a methodology to evaluate FA in an aqueous medium absence and presence exogenous To this end, combination turbidimetry, oiling off dynamic light scattering (...
