Glycerol (30%) inhibited or delayed the adsorption of Shigella bacteriophage on its host organism, S. flexneri II; glycerol also inhibited or delayed the burst of phage, whether or not adsorption was carried out in the presence of glycerol. Studies of the mechanisms of these effects showed that viscosity and osmotic shock probably were not responsible for either phenomenon. The inhibition of ad...

Optical clearing agents can improve tissue optical transmittance by reducing the diffuse reflection. The reflection on in vivo human skin before and after applying anhydrous glycerol and 30 to 50% liquid paraffin glycerol mixed solution are investigated in this paper. From their visible and near-infrared reflection spectroscopy, all of their diffuse reflections are reduced after applying the ag...

In North America, red blood cells (RBCs) are cryopreserved in a clinical setting using high glycerol concentrations (40% w/v) with slow cooling rates (~1°C/min) prior to storage at -80°C, while European protocols use reduced glycerol concentrations with rapid freezing rates. After thawing and prior to transfusion, glycerol must be removed to avoid intravascular hemolysis. This is a time consumi...

By scanning biological tissues in vivo and in vitro with optical coherence tomography, it is found that liquid paraffin can enhance the percutaneous penetration of glycerol in deep layers of tissue and take synergistically optical clearing effect with glycerol. It is shown from experimental results that 30% - 50% liquid paraffin glycerol solutions have the best enhancement effect. Considering t...

• Report formulation of nanohydroxyapatite (nanoHA) based ink for dip pen lithography (DPN). 30-50 % (wt/Vol) Glycerol in isopropyl alcohol is necessary to achieve the required viscosity 5-15 cP printing nanoHA (3 w/v %)-formulated ink. Ultra sonication glycerol formulated aided disperse well nanoparticles get ~200 nm size and helped controlled The optimal consisted 30% 3 with printed features ...

The purpose of this study was to develop a practical cryopreservation method for in vitro-produced (IVP) and sex-predetermined bovine blastocysts that will be applicable to direct transfer of the post-thaw embryos. Blastocysts were harvested 7 days after IVF and allocated to either an intact or biopsy group. The cryoprotective solution contained 0.7 M glycerol and 0, 0.05 or 0.1 M sucrose. Slow...

AIM To establish a method for cynomolgus monkey sperm cryopreservation in a chemically defined extender. METHODS Semen samples were collected by electro-ejaculation from four sexually mature male cynomolgus monkeys. The spermatozoa were frozen in straws by liquid nitrogen vapor using egg-yolk-free Tes-Tris mTTE synthetic extender and glycerol as cryoprotectant. The effects of glycerol concent...

Ulva rigida green seaweed is an abundant biomass consisting of polysaccharides and protein mixtures a potential bioresource for bioplastic food packaging. This research prepared characterized novel biodegradable films from extracts. The water-soluble fraction was extracted into films. 1H nuclear magnetic resonance indicated the presence rhamnose, glucuronic sulfate polysaccharides, while major ...

The fate of glycerol trinitrate when exposed to microbial attack has been investigated. Contrary to some earlier reports, this compound was readily biodegraded by employing batch or continuous techniques under a variety of cultural conditions. Breakdown of glycerol trinitrate took place stepwise via the dinitrate and mononitrate isomers, with each succeeding step proceeding at a slower rate. Af...

In the present study, municipal secondary sludge and purified glycerol (obtained after acid treatment of crude glycerol) were used together for lipid production using intermittent feeding strategy. Intermittent strategy (sludge SS 30 g/L) resulted in a higher biomass (54.99 concentration (25.35 at 96 h when compared to 35 g/L single or control (45.67 & 19.16 lipid). Moreover, significantly redu...
