We studied the use of gas curve subtraction to distinguish between two fractions soluble in neutral detergent solution. Samples of unfractionated (whole) forage, residue insoluble in 90% ethanol, and isolated NDF were fermented in vitro, and gas production was monitored. The gas volume associated with the ethanol solubles (A fraction) was determined as the difference between the gas from the wh...

We find that the minimum distance of the binary [137; 69] quadratic residue code is 21.

Protein aggregation in vivo has been extensively associated with a large spectrum of human diseases. On the other hand, mechanistic insights into protein aggregation in vitro were incomplete due to the inability in solubilizing insoluble proteins for high-resolution biophysical investigations. However, a new avenue may be opened up by our recent discovery that previously-thought insoluble prote...

Eosinophils were separated from other types of cells in horse blood or rat peritoneal fluid by centrifugation in concentrated albumin solutions. Eosinophils did not appear to be damaged by this separation procedure. A technique was also devised for isolation of cytoplasmic granules from eosinophils, thus allowing studies on enzyme content of the granules. Granules from both horse and rat eosino...

Organic matter content in soils is highly variable and includes dead living organisms their decomposition products. plant residue humic substances. Thermodynamically, organic unstable later will oxidize to Co2, H2O. The effective substances of are fulvic acids (FA+Hu) which contain Several functional groups that release electrons or protons during leaving behind several radical act as electron ...

Isolated mouse liver mitochondria were incubated in two types of P(32)-labelled sucrose-phosphate buffers. The first contained no added ATP or oxidizable substrate. The second contained added ATP. Samples were taken at specified times, up to 60 minutes, and analyses were made of the mitochondrial TCA-soluble inorganic P(32) and the total mitochondrial residue P(31) and P(32). The results of the...

Rapeseed meal (RSM) was subjected to different physical or chemical pretreatments to decrease residual, hard to degrade carbohydrates and to improve fermentability of RSM polysaccharides. Next, these pretreated samples were in vitro digested and fermented, with or without the addition of commercial pectinolytic enzymes. Remaining carbohydrates were quantified, and two physical characteristics w...

A renewable raw material, rice straw is pretreated for biorefinery usage. Solution-state two-dimensional (2D) 1H-13 C hetero-nuclear single quantum coherence (HSQC) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, was used to analyze 13 cultivars of rice straw before and after dilute acid pretreatment, to characterize general changes in the lignin and polysaccharide components. Intensities of mos...

1. After extraction of teichoic acid from cell walls of Bacillus licheniformis with dilute alkali, the insoluble residue contains the teichuronic acid and mucopeptide components and a small amount of residual phosphorus. 2. A complex of teichuronic acid and a part of the mucopeptide was isolated from the soluble fraction obtained by lysozyme treatment of alkali extracted walls. 3. Small-molecul...

The organization of the components of the cell wall from Candida albicans was studied by means of sequential treatment with hot SDS, anhydrous ethylenediamine (EDA) and lytic enzymes, followed by chemical and microscopic analyses of the different separated fractions. The EDA-insoluble fraction retained the original morphology of the wall, which was destroyed by beta-glucanase, but not by chitin...
