XAD-8 adsorption technique coupled with stepwise elution using pyrophosphate buffers with initial pH values of 3, 5, 7, 9, and 13 was developed to isolate Chinese standard fulvic acid (FA) and then separated the FA into five sub-fractions: FApH3, FApH5, FApH7, FApH9 and FApH13, respectively. Mass percentages of FApH3-FApH13 decreased from 42% to 2.5%, and the recovery ratios ranged from 99.0% t...

Antilisterial bacteriocin producing strain were isolated from milk samples and subjected to 16S rRNA sequencing found be of genus Enterococcus faecium. The ALC102 partially purified by Amberlite XAD-16 adsorption followed column chromatography. biofilm formation capacity Listeria monocytogenes MTCC 657 evaluated tube method CV binding assay. Biofilm on different abiotic substrates also evaluate...

Lead is an important constituent widely used in different industrial processes. For evaluation of workers' exposure to trace toxic metal of Pb (II), solid-phase extraction (SPE) was optimized. SPE using mini columns filled with XAD-4 resin was developed with regard to sample pH, ligand concentration, loading flow rate, elution solvent, sample volume, elution volume, the amount of resins, and sa...

Azotobacter vinelandii OP was grown to stationary phase in defined medium. The cell-free culture medium was analyzed for cytokinin content by XAD-2 and Sephadex LH-20 chromatography, thin-layer chromatography, tobacco callus bioassay, and enzyme immunoassay. Three cytokinin-active fractions were detected and tentatively identified as trans-zeatin, isopentenyladenosine, and isopentenyladenine. T...

A method is described for the automated analysis of urinary 11-deoxy-17-oxo steroids from hydrolyzed conjugate extracts. Steroid conjugates are extracted manually on an Amberlite XAD-2 column and hydrolyzed with f3-glucuronidase at 62#{176}C for 90 mm. After addition of alkali, the samples are transferred to the AutoAnalyzer where the steroids are extracted into isooctane and estimated colorime...

An antifungal activity was detected in the culture broth of the myxobacterium, Sorangium cellulosum strain So ce 307. The activity was excreted into the supernatant during the log and early stationary phase. When the organism was fermented in the presence of the adsorber resin XAD-16, the metabolite was quantitatively bound to the resin. The main component, jerangolid A, has structural similari...

Representative dilution tube sampling techniques for particulate and gas phase vehicle emissions are described using Teflon filter media and XAD-2 resin. More than 90% of the total gas (C8-C18) and particulate direct acting Ames assay mutagenicity (TA 98) was found in the particulate phase. The gas and particulate phase material was fractionated by HPLC into nonpolar, moderately polar and highl...

Natural organic matter (NOM) is a complex mixture of organic compounds present in all fresh water. NOM is usually only roughly characterised through conventional analytical techniques. In this study, advanced analytical techniques such as XAD fractionation, LCOCD, EEM fluorescence and membrane separation have been applied for NOM seawater characterization. Conventional analyses have shown that ...
