An iron-sulfur protein has been purified from beef heart ubiquinol-cytochrome c oxidoreductase (Complex III) of the mitochondrial respiratory chain by phenyl-Sepharose column chromatography and Sephacryl S-200 gel chromatography. Depletion of most of the endogenous phospholipids in the complex was a prerequisite to the dissociation of the protein from the complex in the former chromatography. T...

In order to evaluate the effect of different amounts of iron and manganese sulfates on wheat yield (Chamran cultivar), a factorial experiment based a randomized complete block design with three replications. The experiment treatments consisted of different concentrations of iron sulfate )Including; zero, 1500, and 3000 grams per hectare) and manganese sulfate (Including; zero, 1500, and 3000 gr...

Though iron- and sulfate-reducing bacteria are well known for mediating uranium(VI) reduction in contaminated subsurface environments, quantifying the in situ activity of the microbial groups responsible remains a challenge. The objective of this study was to demonstrate the use of quantitative molecular tools that target mRNA transcripts of key genes related to Fe(III) and sulfate reduction pa...

An integrated lipid biomarker–carbon isotope approach reveals new insight to microbial methane oxidation in the Gulf of Mexico gas-hydrate system. Hydrate-bearing and hydrate-free sediments were collected from the Gulf of Mexico slope using a research submersible. Phospholipid fatty acids consist mainly of C16–C18 compounds, which are largely derived from bacteria. The phospholipid fatty acids ...

In this article, the effect of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as an anionic surfactant on the thermodynamics, formation rate, formation kinetic, critical micellar concentration (CMC) and stability of methane hydrate was studied. A CMC of SDS and water solution for methane hydrate formation conditions in a batch process was measured at 450 ppm, where CMC was determined by hydrate induction time. I...

BACKGROUND About 468 million non-pregnant women are estimated to suffer from iron-deficiency anemia (IDA) worldwide. The highest prevalence of IDA occurs in the Taiwanese population. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness of Herbiron to increase iron absorption in women with IDA. DESIGN Phase III double-blind, randomized, active-controlled, and parallel comparative study enrolled 124 patie...

to study the effect of vermicompost and urea and iron sulfate fertilizers on the growth characteristics and yield of sunflower seed (helianthus annuus l.) an pediment was conducted in darreh gaz located in khorasan razavi province in 2012. factorial experiment in a randomized complete block design with three factors and three repetition. in this experiment three levels of urea (50; 150 and 250 ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Ferric citrate hydrate is a novel iron-based phosphate binder being developed for hyperphosphatemia in patients with CKD. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS A phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled study investigated the efficacy and safety of ferric citrate hydrate in nondialysis-dependent patients with CKD. Starting in April o...

an efficient, mild and environmentally friendly method was reported for the synthesis of an efficient, mild and environmentally friendly method was reported for the synthesis of pyranopyroles from aryl aldehydes, ethyl acetoacetate, malononitrile and hydrazine hydrate in the presence of catalytic amounts of methyl imidazolium hydrogen sulfate ([hmim][hso4]) as an efficient catalyst. these synth...

BACKGROUND Iron (Fe) deficiency anemia remains the largest nutritional deficiency disorder worldwide. How the gut acquires iron from nano Fe(III), especially at the apical surface, is incompletely understood. OBJECTIVE We developed a novel Fe supplement consisting of nanoparticulate tartrate-modified Fe(III) poly oxo-hydroxide [here termed nano Fe(III)], which mimics the Fe oxide core of ferr...
