The present study aims to assess the respective efficiency of Biochars (BCs) and activated carbons (ACs) limit PCB 101, 138, 153 180 transfer plants. A set 6 high carbon materials comprising 3 BCs ACs was tested used amend a soil at 2% rate. Then, two most efficient carbonaceous were as an amendment historically contaminated sampled in St Cyprien vicinity (Loire, France). An environmental avail...

INTRODUCTION Colonic perforation is a clinical condition which occurs due to variety of reasons, such as intrinsic disorders of the intestine, extrinsic causes, but also due to presence of foreign bodies. Foreign objects enter gastrointestinal tract by oral or transanal introduction. CASE REPORT we present an uncommon case of a 26- year-old tetraplegic male, whose death was a consequence of a...

Protein isolates of pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo L) seeds were hydrolyzed by acid protease to prepare antioxidative peptides. The hydrolysis conditions were optimized through Box-Behnken experimental design combined with response surface method (RSM). The second-order model, developed for the DPPH radical scavenging activity of pumpkin seed hydrolysates, showed good fit with the experiment data with...

A previously identified insert expressing an endopeptidase from a Lactobacillus helveticus CNRZ32 genomic library was characterized. Nucleotide sequence analysis revealed an open reading frame of 1,941 bp encoding a putative protein of 71.2 kDa which contained a zinc-protease motif. Protein homology searches revealed that this enzyme has 40% similarity with endopeptidase O (PepO) from Lactococc...
