Degeneration of cultivated strains of Flammulina velutipes is a serious problem. We developed a simple colorimetric method to detect degenerate strains by using a liquid medium supplemented with bromothymol blue and lactose. The ability of a strain to develop normal mushrooms could be determined by the color of the medium.

Antisera prepared against the eight recognized serotypes of Ureaplasma urealyticum were tested against the homologous and heterologous antigens by a modified metabolic inhibition test that used bromothymol blue broth in microtiter plates. The method gives clear endpoint determinations which are usually maintained on continued incubation. Antisera against serotype 8 showed cross-reactions with t...

Five laboratory-adapted strains of Ureaplasma urealyticum showed comparable colony counts when incubated in eight gaseous environments including air, in different concentrations of carbon dioxide, and under anaerobiosis. For primary isolation on genital mycoplasma agar 95% N2-5% CO2 gave 100% correlation with growth in bromothymol blue broth, whereas certain strains failed to grow on agar incub...

This study examined adsorption of anionic dye on four zeolitic materials incorporated (VS-1, CuZSM-5) and not into metals (S-1, ZSM-5). The the bromothymol blue (BTB) adsorbents was analysed using isotherm models Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin. Two kinetic were also applied to process, pseudo-first order pseudo-second order. isothermal data showed good correlation. kinetics better described by mo...

Chromosphere such as triaryl methane family of dyes used in various industries can affect the body living organism system upon interaction with most biochemical molecule is DNA. In this research, binding mode chromophore that Bromothymol blue, Bromophenol Bromocresol green and Malachite double strand DNA phosphate buffer at pH 6.9 was investigated through UV/VIS spectroscopy. The study shows bl...

fe3o4-containing cotton-like mesoporous silica system (fe3o4@ncsm) was studied with regard to its performance towards the photodecolorization of bromothymol blue (btb) aqueous solution. the surface properties of the functionalized catalyst were analyzed by a series of characterization techniques like ftir, xrd, bet, sem and tem. the n2 adsorption–desorption analysis shows that the mesostructure...

Two simple, selective and sensitive spectrophotometric methods are described for the determination of 6-aminopenicillanic acid (6-APA). The methods are based on the reaction of 6-APA with either bromophenol blue (BPB) or bromothymol blue (BTB), to give orange-red and green species, respectively. The coloured products are quantified spectrophotometrically at 625 and 616nm for BPB and BTB, respec...

Keto-bromothymol blue [BTB]keto was quantitatively prepared by potassium permanganate oxidation of bromothymol in an alkaline medium at pH > 12. When reacting with dinitrophenyl hydrazine and hydroxylamine, the obtained keto derivatives were characterized FTIR, TDDFT-DFDT computations, optical properties. The resulting compounds found to have a high chelation affinity most hydroxylamine forming...
