BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS) is one of the most widely used anionic detergents. The present study deals with isolation and identification of SDS-degrading bacteria from a detergent contaminated pond situated in Varanasi city, India. MATERIALS AND METHODS Employing enrichment technique in minimal medium (PBM), SDS-degrading bacteria were isolated from pond water sampl...

Fusarium virguliforme causes sudden death syndrome (SDS) in soybean. The pathogen has never been isolated from diseased foliar tissues; therefore, one or more toxins have been considered to cause foliar SDS development. Cell-free F. virguliforme culture filtrates containing a toxin causes foliar SDS in soybean. A low-molecular-weight protein of approximately 13.5 kDa (FvTox1), purified from F. ...

Surfactant-based nanostructures are promising materials for designing novel colorimetric biosensors based on aggregation/disaggregation phenomena. In this work, a sensor the plasmonic shift of surfactant-capped gold nanoparticles via disaggregation mechanism was developed. To perform this, optimum SDS concentration firstly determined in order to form Au@16-s-16/SDS complex aggregates with well-...

We present a methodology to quantitatively determine the fraction of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) that partitions to the oil/water interface in oil-in-water macroemulsions and calculate the total interfacial area (TIA) through the novel use of filtration through nanoporous membranes. Ultrafiltration was carried out in centrifuge tubes having nanoporous filters with a 30,000 molecular weight cut...

BACKGROUND In chronic autonomic failure of varying aetiologies, there are differences in the cardiovascular responses to supine leg exercise and to standing after exercise. Whether this occurs between the different subgroups with Shy-Drager syndrome (SDS) is unknown. METHODS Fourteen patients with the cerebellar form (SDS-C) and 11 patients with parkinsonian features (SDS-P) were studied. R...

In this research, the influence of additives on rheological and sedimentary properties magnetorheological fluid (MRF) was tested analyzed. The were stearic acid, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), their mixture, respectively. MRF composed carbonyl iron particle, silicone oil, liquid paraffin, graphite bentonite, SDS. results indicated that mainly influenced by mass fraction particle. When fractions ...

The effect of the presence sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) on denaturation bovine serum albumin (BSA) has been studied using 36 m small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) BATAN spectrometer (SMARTer). data reduction used Graphical Reduction and Analysis SANS Program (GRASP) software, fitting process IGOR software. was identified by observing changes BSA globular structure. experimental results showed...

Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-poly(propylene oxide) methacrylate (PPOMA) (of molecular weight M(w) = 434 g x mol(-1)) mixtures have been studied using conductimetry, static light scattering, fluorescence spectroscopy, and 1H NMR. It has been shown that SDS and PPOMA form mixed micelles, and SDS and PPOMA aggregation numbers, N(ag SDS) and N(ag PPOMA), have been determined. Total aggregation numb...

PURPOSE There are inconsistencies in the results reported in a small number of previous studies into growth hormone (GH) treatment in Korean children with idiopathic short stature (ISS) and idiopathic growth hormone deficiency (IGHD). Thus, the authors retrospectively compared the effects of GH in ISS and IGHD. METHODS From the medical records of 26 ISS and 30 IGHD children, auxological and b...

Forest biomass measurement or estimation is critical for forest monitoring at the stand scale, but errors among different estimations in investigation are unclear. Thus, Pinus densata natural Shangri-La City, southwestern China, was selected as research object to investigate of 84 plots and 100 samples P. densata. The calculated using five methods: growth with age (SBA), stem combined expansion...
