The water-soluble zinc salts gluconate, sulfate, and acetate are commonly used as supplements in tablet or syrup form to prevent zinc deficiency and to treat diarrhea in children in combination with oral rehydration. Zinc citrate is an alternative compound with high zinc content, slightly soluble in water, which has better sensory properties in syrups but no absorption data in humans.We used th...

the main reasons for the fixation of some elements and consequently nutrient deficiencies, especially phosphorus, iron and zinc, are high levels of calcium (calcareous soils) and soil ph. two sulfur fertilizers (sulfur alone and sulfur + organic material + thiobacillus spp.) with two rates (2 and 4 kg sulfur/tree) were used to decrease soil ph and availability of p, fe and zn in apple trees dur...

1. The cell wall of Clostridium welchii (type A) contains alanine, 2,6-diaminopimelic acid, glutamic acid, glycine, glucosamine, muramic acid, galactosamine, mannosamine, ethanolamine, rhamnose, galactose and phosphorus. 2. Heating with formamide at 150 degrees resolved the wall into a formamide-soluble polysaccharide fraction and a formamide-insoluble mucopeptide fraction. 3. The formamide-sol...

When ‘25l-labeled blood platelets were lysed with an equal volume of 2% Triton X-100, 10 mM EGTA, and 100 mM Tris, pH 7.4. the Triton-insoluble residue (“cytoskeleton”) contained about 1 1 % of the platelet protein. predominantly actin and actin-binding protein, 3.5% of the platelet radioactivity, and less than 2% of the platelet lipid phosphorus. Radioautographs of polyacrylamide gels of this ...

The application of microbial inoculants (biofertilizers) is a promising technology for future sustainable farming systems in view of rapidly decreasing phosphorus stocks and the need to more efficiently use available nitrogen (N). Various microbial taxa are currently used as biofertilizers, based on their capacity to access nutrients from fertilizers and soil stocks, to fix atmospheric nitrogen...

Cotton, an important commercial crop, is cultivated for its natural fibers, and requires an adequate supply of soil nutrients, including phosphorus, for its growth. Soil phosporus exists primarily in insoluble forms. We isolated a mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase (MDH) gene, designated as GhmMDH1, from Gossypium hirsutum L. to assess its effect in enhancing P availability and absorption. An e...
