Lorian, Victor (Laboratório Central de Tuberculose, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil). Macroscopic patterns of bacteria after development in drops of liquid medium. J. Bacteriol. 86:582-584. 1963.-Cultures of bacteria in liquid media with 0.06% triphenyltetrazolium hydrochloride showed visible macroscopic development and a characteristic pattern for each strain, when deposited in 0.35-ml drops on the sur...

Methods for quantitative characterization of heterologous protein-protein interactions by means of analytical ultracentrifugation (AUC) include sedimentation equilibrium, tracer sedimentation equilibrium, sedimentation velocity, and analytical band sedimentation. Fundamental principles governing the behavior of macromolecules in a centrifugal field are summarized, and the application of these p...

Macromolecular sedimentation in inhomogeneous media is of great practical importance. Dynamic density gradients have a long tradition in analytical ultracentrifugation, and are frequently used in preparative ultracentrifugation. In this paper, a new theoretical model for sedimentation in inhomogeneous media is presented, based on finite element solutions of the Lamm equation with spatial and te...

The article is devoted to a problem of sedimentation of superfine aerosols with a characteristic size of particles, an order of values of micrometers. Acceleration of the sedimentation process is promoted by imposing of an acoustic field that leads to acceleration of coagulation of particles. Besides, pressure of the sound radiation directed down, accelerates gravitational sedimentation of an a...
