A bacterial strain (designated as Alcaligenes sp. MS-103) isolated from oil sample of the Aghajari oilfield in the south of Iran, was able to produce an effective extracellular lipopolysaccharide biosurfactant (1.2±0.05 g/l) on molasses as a sole carbon source. The highest surface tension reduction to level 20 mN/m was achieved by biosurfactant produced by cells grown on molasses under optimum ...

The recent introduction of non-burn, health care risk waste treatment technologies, such as ETD TM autoclaving, microwaving and steam sterilisation into Gauteng Province, has required the development of both the standards and the monitoring procedures that will ensure that these treatment processes will provide an acceptable level of microbial inactivation and will continue to do so during the ...

The method has been developed and validated for the determination of hydroquinone in liposomal formulation. The samples were dissolved in methanol and evaluated in 293 nm. The validation parameters such as linearity, accuracy, precision, specificity, limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantitation (LOQ) were determined. The calibration curve was linear in 1-50 µg /mL range of hydroquinone an...
