The addition of sodium acetate to chemically defined MP2 medium was found to increase and stabilize solvent production and also increase glucose utilization by Clostridium beijerinckii NCIMB 8052. RNA and enzyme analyses indicated that coenzyme A (CoA) transferase was highly expressed and has higher activity in C. beijerinckii NCIMB 8052 grown in MP2 medium containing added sodium acetate than ...

The effects of different sources of carbon, nitrogen and some of trace elements on cultivation of Bacillus thuringiensis H14 were studied. Glucose, glycerol, sodium acetate, (NH4)2SO4, corn steep liquor, yeast extract, hydrolyzed casein, Ca2+, Mg2+ and Mn2+ were the main parameters evaluated by Plackett-Burman statistical method. All el...

Zymomonas mobilis is an excellent ethanologenic bacterium. Biomass pretreatment and saccharification provides access to simple sugars, but also produces inhibitors such as acetate and furfural. Our previous work has identified and confirmed the genetic change of a 1.5-kb deletion in the sodium acetate tolerant Z. mobilis mutant (AcR) leading to constitutively elevated expression of a sodium pro...

Most thyroid hormone determinations in animals are based on immunoassays adapted from those used to test human samples, which may not reflect the actual values of thyroid hormone in horses because of the presence of binding proteins. The aims of the present study were i) to establish a novel radioimmunoassay (RIA) using a more simple and convenient method to separate binding proteins for the me...

Albendazole is an anti-helmintic or anti-worm medication. Due to its water insolubility, it shows poor absorption in GIT as well low bioavailability and produces therapeutic effect. In this study, various hydrotropic agents are used enhance the solubility of Albendazole. Addition 100mg 1M Solution agent like Sodium benzoate, acetate, citrate, salicylate & urea separately absorbance each sol...

Feeding experim ents using l3C-labelled sodium acetate precursors in CuCl2-treated broad bean (Vicia faba) cotyledons have demonstrated that the furanoacetylene phytoalexin wyerone is biosynthetically derived from seven intact acetate units. A further experiment using sodium [2H 3]acetate indicated the head of the chain, and showed the chain is analogous to that of a fatty acid precursor, any c...

The intended purpose of this work is to develop and validate a dissolution test for betamethasone acetate and betamethasone sodium phosphate injectable suspension using a reverse-phase liquid chromatographic method. After testing sink conditions, dissolution medium and stability of the drug, the best conditions were: flow through cell of diameter 22.6 mm, 2.0 ml per minutes flow rate for 120 mi...

The sodium and chloride retaining effect of suprarenal cortical extracts and of crystalline compounds derived from the suprarenal cortex parallels their effectiveness in maintaining suprarenalectomized dogs. All of the active compounds thus far studied produce a potassium diuresis when injected into normal dogs. The injection of a synthetic compound, desoxy-corticosterone acetate, produced in n...
