If we increase the osmotic pressure at one end of a Nitella cell by applying a solution of sucrose and if we subsequently submerge the entire cell in water we find that water enters at the end where the osmotic pressure is higher and comes out of the cell at the other end. If similar inequalities of osmotic pressure should arise as the result of metabolism we can understand how a secreting cell...

In Greek mythology, the river Styx is a river that formed the boundary between earth and the underworld or Hades, the abode of the dead. The ferryman of the river Styx was called Charon, a personification of the decision-making process between life and death. According to some versions of the myth, the river Styx had miraculous powers and could make someone immortal. Achilles was said to have b...

The development of swamp rice varieties tolerant to submergence is an important step in reducing the impact floods that often occur swamplands. objective this study was evaluate response eight genotypes early stages tillering stress. experiment carried out using a completely randomized design with three replications. Pots filled soil were used as growing media and tarpaulin pond submerge plants...

Alkaline proteases are the most important groups of commercial enzymes, which have been broadly used in industrial processes. In this study, Bacillus sp. PTCC 1538 was selected as a biological agent to produce alkaline protease. Enzyme production under submerge fermentation using waste effluent investigated. Since costs raw material plays an role cost enzyme production, corn steep liquor (CSL) ...

This paper presents the results of an investigation on the effects of concentration of cations on activated sludge properties and membrane fouling in submerge membrane bioreactors. The working volume of the experimental setup was two liters. The cellulose acetate membrane was immersed in the bioreactor. The flocculability, settling properties and fouling propensity of activated sludge was measu...

The role of Vi-capsular polysaccharide (Vi-CPS) in human immunity against infection caused by Salmonella typhi is well known. The downstream process of purification generally causes depolymerization of Vi-CPS to a nonimmunogenic low molecular weight form. In the present study, a standard strain of Sal. typhi Ty6s was grown under submerge cultural conditions in a pilot-plant scale of 90 Liter fe...
