A locally isolated white rot fungal strain Trametes versicolor IBL-04 produced high laccase activities in solid state bio-processing of corn cobs. Addition of glucose and yeast extract (C: N ratio; 25:1) enhanced laccase synthesis. Addition of Tween-80 and CuSO4 enhanced laccase production to 1012 U/mL under optimized process conditions. Laccase was further purified to 2.89-fold (specific activ...

To further evaluate the role of sialic acid in the dysfibrinogenemia associated with liver disease, we studied the effect of removal of excess sialic acid residues from the fibrinogen of five patients with liver disease on the thrombin time and fibrin monomer aggregation. Patient fibrinogens containing 1.4-3.4 residues of sialic acid per molecule in excess of normal controls, with thrombin time...

The anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) was degraded by novel strain ofPseudomonas aeruginosa KGS under accession No. JQ328193, which was isolated from carwash wastewater. The purpose of this research was to study different optimization conditionsrequired for enhancing the biodegradation of sodium dodecyl sulfate P. aeruginosa KGS.Influence of different Physicochemical factors such ...

This article summarizes a series of seventeen publications by the authors devoted to molecular dynamics modeling various indicator dyes (molecular probes) enclosed in surfactant micelles. These serve as generally recognized tools for studying types organized solutions, among which micelles water are simplest and most explored. The procedure involves altogether 50 95 molecules, 16 28 thousand si...

BACKGROUND Prions demonstrate an unusual resistance to methods effective at inactivating conventional microorganisms. This has resulted in a very tangible and difficult infection control challenge to the medical and veterinary communities, as well as animal agriculture and related industries. Currently accepted practices of harsh chemical treatments such as prolonged exposure to sodium hydroxid...

Surfactants are synthetic organic chemicals that are formulated to have cleansing or solubilisation properties with the development of the industrial economy and increase in population density, surfactants have become one of the most widely disseminated xenobiotics to enter the aquatic environment, creating a serious environmental problem. Principal criterion for the ecological behavior of surf...

Abstract A novel nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dots (N-CDs) were prepared by the microwave irradiation method. The fluorescence quenching effect of Co(II) on N-CDs was studied in sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) medium and sensitized SDS. linear range calibration curve for determination 0.17µg/mL-11.8µg/mL limit detection 0.052µg/mL. method has been applied samples with satisfactory results.
