Cellular metabolome analysis by chromatography-mass spectrometry (MS) requires prior metabolite extraction. We examined a diversity of solvent systems for extraction of water-soluble metabolites from Escherichia coli. Quantitative yields of approximately 100 different metabolites were measured by liquid chromatography-tandem MS and displayed in clustered heat map format. Many metabolites, inclu...

Finding an environment-friendly and affordable method to remove contaminated soils from Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) has now become an attractive field for researchers, with super-critical fluid extraction being an innovative process in the field of contaminated soil treatment. Extraction with super-critical fluid is a simple and rapid extraction process that uses super-critical flui...

in the present study, physicochemical, rheological and textural properties of beta-glucan (bg) extracted from four iranian hull-less barley lines (ehds4, ehds18, aleli, cam-b) were investigated. two different methods namely, hot water (hw) and acidic (a) were used for extraction of beta-glucan. results showed that the highest amount of beta-glucan belonged to ehds4.the purity of hw extracted be...

Selective separation of lead ions (Pb(2+)) from aqueous solutions containing multiple divalent metal ions (Pb(2+), Cu(2+), Cd(2+), Zn(2+), Mn(2+), Co(2+), and Ni(2+)) was investigated using liquid-liquid extraction. N,N-Dioctyldiglycol amic acid (DODGAA) enabled quantitative extraction and efficient separation of Pb(2+) from the metal ion mixture under mildly acidic conditions. Compared with ...

In this study, a zinc plant purification cake (CINKUR Co. Turkey) was leached with sulphuric acid and an acidic leach solution containing Zn(II), Fe(II), Pb(II), Al(III), Cu(II), Co(II) and Ni(II) ions was obtained. After purification, ammonium thiocyanate and water were added to the remaining leach solution containing Co(II) and Ni(II) ions to adjust the chemical media and ion concentration. T...

fusarium head blight (fhb) caused by fusarium graminearum is responsible for billions of dollars in agriculture losses. the goal of the present study was evaluation the expression of acidic chitinase, one of pr proteins, in wheat defense response against different fhb induced treatments in 'falat' as a highly susceptible and 'sumai3' as a tolerant cultivar. these treatments contained fungi extr...
