A consortium-GB containing two microorganisms Galactomyces geotrichum MTCC 1360 and Bacillus sp. VUS was able to degrade sulfurcontaining dye Brilliant Blue G, optimally at pH 9 and temperature at 50 8C. The ability of consortium-GB to work at higher temperature and pH ranges will help in using this consortium for removal of the dye from textile effluent. Malt extract, peptone and beef extract ...

This study was conducted for qualitative analysis of serum proteins separated by SDS-PAGE and stained by Coomassie Brilliant Blue R-250 in order to describe the preliminary identification of serum proteins that may act as diagnostic marker in benign prostatic hyperplasia. Serum samples of 23 biopsy confirmed cases of benign prostatic hyperplasia and normal controls of similar age group were sub...

The heterogeneous photo-Fenton degradation of coomasie brilliant blue R–250 under visible light has been investigated using copper modified iron oxide, which has been prepared by coprecipitation method and characterized by IR spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The rate of photocatalytic degradation of dye follows pseudo-first order kinetics. The effects of various...

partial least square and principal component regression methods were applied to various mixtures of Allura Red and Brilliant Blue to determine the concentrations. Colorants, at the same time, were analyzed with UV-spectrophotometry in chemical separation. The obtained experimental data have been evaluated by chemometric methods as Partial Least Squares (PLS) and Principle Component Regressi...

A type of ligninolytic enzyme was produced in the culture supernatant of Fomitopsis pinicola mycelia. The laccase was purified by ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-Sepharose FF, gel filtration chromatography on Superdex 200 pg, and HIC chromatography on Phenyl FF from the culture supernatant of F. pinicola. The molecular weight of the enzyme was 92 kDa as determined by SDS-PAGE and gel filtra...

A new method of screening for chitinase inhibitors in crude fermentation broths as a means of discovering new insecticidal leads has been developed. In this procedure soluble Remazol brilliant violet 5R dye-coupled chitin degradation products released from insoluble chitin azure substrate by hydrolysis with Streptomyces griseus chitinase are filtered in 0.45 micron Millititer HA 96 well filtrat...

Growing evidence suggests that on-pathway amyloid-β (Aβ) oligomers are primary neurotoxic species and have a direct correlation with the onset of Alzheimer's disease (AD). One promising therapeutic strategy to block AD progression is to reduce the levels of these neurotoxic Aβ species using small molecules. While several compounds have been shown to modulate Aβ aggregation, compounds with such ...

INTRODUCTION Brilliant blue G is a new dye used for staining the internal limiting membrane to ease its peeling in cases like a macular hole. CASES Three patients presented with full-thickness idiopathic macular hole. They underwent pars planavitrectomy, Brilliant Blue G (BBG) stained internal limiting membrane peeling and fluid gas exchange. OBSERVATIONS Postoperatively,the macular hole cl...
