halophilic and halotolerant microorganisms are good candidates for decolorization of azo dyeswhich are routinely used in the dyeing process in textile industries. in this paper, theoptimization of biological decolorization of synthetic dye solutions containing remazol black bby the previously isolated halophilic bacterium halomonas sp. d2 is investigated. in a primaryinvestigation using a one-f...

The X-31 strain of influenza virus was studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), CD and SDS/PAGE analysis as a function of both temperature and pH. A bromelain-treated virus was also studied by these methods. The major transition observed in the intact virus was a result of the denaturation of the haemagglutinin (HA) protein. At pH 7.4, this transition was similar in the intact virus ...

The effects of ocean acidification and increased temperature on physiology of six strains of the polar diatom Fragilariopsis cylindrus from Greenland were investigated. Experiments were performed under manipulated pH levels (8.0, 7.7, 7.4, and 7.1) and different temperatures (1, 5, and 8 C) to simulate changes from present to plausible future levels. Each of the 12 scenarios was run for 7 days,...

Seafood salad has been identified as a ready-to-eat food with a relatively high incidence of contamination by Listeria monocytogenes; however, little is known about the behavior of this pathogen in seafood salad as a function of product pH and storage temperature. To produce data towards the development of a predictive growth model, a 6-strain cocktail of L. monocytogenes was inoculated onto th...

Adsorption of sodium diclofenac was investigated in the presence of sucralfate--a cytoprotective agent preventing gastropathy, adverse effect of diclofenac. Evaluation of adsorption was performed by means of a static method in vitro taking into account pH of the environment, temperature, concentration of the investigated agents and the form of sucralfate. Findings obtained prove that sodium dic...

The critical micellar concentration (CMC) of stearoylcarnitine was determined at different pH values at room temperature by fluorescence spectroscopy, monitoring the spectral changes of 8-anilinonaphthalene-1-sulfonate (ANS). The CMC was found to vary with pH, increasing from about 10 microM at pH 3.0 to ca. 25 microM at pH 7.0, but decreasing slightly with further increase in pH to approximate...

A study was conducted to evaluate the correlation between selected physico-chemical parameters of water and their effects on growth of Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) in raceway system in the area of Sarab Gerdu, Iran. The samples were collected from twenty raceways (270- day old fish, surface area 55m2 flow rate 150 ls-1 total production 15 T). Physico-chemical parameters were the fluctuat...

       Inabilities to attain adequate aqueous solubility and stability have made the preparation of a clinically suitable formulation of taxol difficult. Addition of nicotinamide (ND), 2-hydroxypropyl- b-cyclodextrin (HPßCD), polyethylene glycol, (PEG), bile salts (BS, 50:50 sodium cholate: deoxycholate...

in the present study, the interaction between nano-tio2 and lysozyme was investigated by the method of uv-vis detection and fluorescence spectroscopic techniques. the thermal denaturation of lysozyme has been investigated in the presence and absence of nano-tio2 over the temperature range (293-373) k in different buffer and ph, using temperature scanning spectroscopy. the presence of nano-tio2 ...
