THE CLASSIC ESTIMATION OF UREA IN THE BLOOD, while not technically difficult, is time consuming, and a quicker method was sought for an emergency procedure. It has been known for many years that a solution of xanthydrol with urea forms an insoluble precipitate, dixanthylurea. Also that this precipitate dissolves in 50% sulfuric acid to give an intense yellow-colored solution which obeys Beer’s ...

Purified 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D)/(alpha)-ketoglutarate dioxygenase (TfdA) was shown to use 4-nitrophenoxyacetic acid (K(infm) = 0.89 (plusmn) 0.04 mM, k(infcat) [catalytic constant] = 540 (plusmn) 10 min(sup-1)), producing intensely yellow 4-nitrophenol. This reagent was used to develop a rapid, continuous, colorimetric assay for the detection of TfdA and analogous activities in ...

2-amino-5-carboxymuconic 6-semialdehyde is an unstable intermediate in the meta-cleavage pathway of 4-amino-3-hydroxybenzoic acid in Bordetella sp. strain 10d. In vitro, this compound is nonenzymatically converted to 2,5-pyridinedicarboxylic acid. Crude extracts of strain 10d grown on 4-amino-3-hydroxybenzoic acid converted 2-amino-5-carboxymuconic 6-semialdehyde formed from 4-amino-3-hydroxybe...

Abstract Recently, the adsorption process relied on use of low-cost, available and eco-friendly materials to reduce costs. Pomegranate peels(PPs) have been used as environmental inexpensive bio-sorbent material remove dye (brilliant yellow) from aqueous solution. characterization via two techniques like FTIR, FESEM analyze morphology chemical groups before after sorption brilliant yellow dye, A...

Discrete bodies which may be designated cytochondria occupy the greater part of the cytoplasm of liver cells. A part, but not all, of these bodies have the characteristics of mitochondria. They consist of a rim which stains deeply and a central part which stains faintly or remains unstained. In liver cells about portal spaces, in foci of regeneration, and in tumor cells the rims of the cytochon...

AIM To identify pathogen of diseased yellow perch and determine their virulence. METHODS AND RESULTS Fifteen Gram-negative bacterial isolates were recovered from the skin lesions of diseased yellow perch (Perca flavescens). Based on API 20NE test, ten isolates were found to share 67.2-99.9% homologies with Chryseobactertium indologenes. Based on fatty acid methyl ester analysis, 13 isolates w...

The antioxidant activity and contents of various polyphenol classes in the seeds of seven soybean varieties of different seed color and one yellow seed cultivar, representing a reference genotype, were evaluated. Total polyphenols and tannins were determined after extraction of plant material with 70% aqueous acetone, and total flavonoids were extracted with methanol and acetic acid, whereas an...

Two trials that utilized 356 yearling steers were conducted to evaluate the effects of fat sources (3.5% of diet dry matter) in steam-flaked milo finishing diets. Fats differed in fatty acid composition and level of free fatty acids. In Trial 1, soybean oil, tallow and yellow grease were compared to a nonfat control. Feeding fat increased (P less than .05) daily gain, feed efficiency, estimated...
