This study focuses on the isolation and characterization of a novel strain of siderophore producing bacterium, i.e., Pseudomonas aeruginosa BUP2 (Pa BUP2) from the rumen of Malabari goat, coupled with qualitative and quantitative analyses of the siderophore produced by it. Pa BUP2—a facultative anaerobe was tuned to be an aerobe by repeatedly growing in Benjamin flask. The new isolate was grown...

A field flow preconcentration system for copper determination in seawater is described. Seawater samples are collected and preconcentrated in situ by passing them using a peristaltic pump through a minicolumn packed with Amberlite XAD-4 impregnated with the complexing agent 1-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphthol. Thus, copper is preconcentrated without the interference of the saline matrix. Once in the la...

A "middle molecule" inhibitor of erythropoiesis in patients with chronic renal failure was separated from a large amount of hemodialysate. Hemodialysate was passed through Amberlite XAD-4 resin, Sephadex G-50 gel, and DEAE-Sephadex A-25, followed by reversed-phase liquid chromatography. The erythroid colony assay (CFU-E) was used to detect the inhibitory effect of the sample solution. Certain f...
