organic acids exuded by plant roots increase solubility of soil micronutrient complexes. this study was carried out to evaluate adsorption isotherms of 4 acidic and 4 calcareous soils at presence of organic acids (citric, malic and oxalic acids). iron sorption and desorption isotherms are defined in to two systems including; system 1; soil-water-metal, system 2; soil-water-organic acid-metal). ...

The occurrence of malic acid in fermented products derived from various fruit juices is common knowledge and it has been generally supposed that this substance was exclusively derived from malic acid preformed in the fruit. The object of the following communication is to establish the fact that I-malic acid is a true product of fermentation by yeast and that significant amounts of the acid are ...

Efficacy of combined acid-heat treatments to protect crude protein (CP) against ruminal degradation has not been extensively researched. Four in vitro trials (Daisy technology) with orthophosphoric and malic acids were performed to examine effects on protection of sunflower meal protein. In Trial 1, effects of the solution volume for adding two doses of orthophosphoric acid (0.4 and 1.2 eq/kg s...

Several yeast strains degrading malic acid as a sole carbon and energy source were isolated from Korean wine pomace after enrichment culture in the presence of malic acid. Among them, the strain designated as KMBL 5774 showed the highest malic acid degrading ability. It was identified as Issatchenkia orientalis based on its morphological and physiological characteristics as well as the nucleoti...

Label-MMAcid-Rev030410 BACKGROUND Ruminants are animals that have multiple stomachs to allow consumption and digestion of fibrous feedstuffs. Key to this digestive process is the bacterial breakdown of the fiber in the first stomach or rumen. The bacterial balance in the rumen can shift, allowing the ruminant to adapt to different diets. Ruminal bacteria convert fiber into lactate and volatile ...

Extracts of liver and muscle convert citric acid into laevo-rotatory isocitric acid [Martius, 1938]. As the rotation of isocitric acid, like that ofother ac-hydroxy acids, is much increased by (NH4)2MoO4*, the polarimeter can be used to measure low concentrations of isocitric acid in tissue extracts [Martius, 1938; Jacobsohn, 1940]. On applying this method to plant extracts we met with an unexp...
