Polyanionic cellulose polymer is used as an additive in drilling mud in order to decrease water loss and mudcake- thickness. In this study effect of bulk and nanosize polyanionic cellulose on water loss and mud-cakethickness in mud drilling is investigated. Polyanionic cellulose nanoparticles are made by using of ball milling. Size of nanoparticles is measured by Particle size analyzer. Polyani...

The purpose of this study was to utilize low quality date syrup, a rich and available source of nutrient in Iran, for the production of bacterial cellulose using Gluconacetobacter xylinus. Static batch fermentationfor the purpose of cellulose production by G. xylinus (PTCC, 1734) was studied using low quality date syrupand sucrose solution (Bx. 10%) as fermentation media at 28°C. Re...

SOLUBILIZED PROTEIN DERIVED FROM HUMAN PLATELETS WAS FRACTIONATED BY DEAE CELLULOSE COLUMN CHROMATOGRAPHY AND ANALYZED FOR PROTEASE ACTIVITY USING THREE SUBSTRATES: denatured bovine hemoglobin, alpha casein, and purified plasminogen-free human fibrinogen. A protein fraction was found with proteolytic activity which was heat labile and not attributable to plasmin. The activity was not potentiate...

Bacterial cellulose is a biological polymer with a variety of extraordinary properties which make it a functional material for different industrial fields. This work aimed at monitoring the effects of three different organic acids and nanoparticles on the production, water holding capacity and structural characteristics of bacterial cellulose. Different concentrations of organic acids and nanop...

background: one of the most important producers of high quality industrial enzymes is the gram-positive bacterium, bacillus subtilis (b. subtilis). one major limitation that hinders the wide application of b. subtilis is the secretion of high levels of extracellular proteases which degrade the secreted foreign proteins. in this study, homologus recombination technique was used to knock out its ...

A renin-like enzyme and acid protease (cathepsin) from whole and saline-pefused dog brains were separated by CM-cellulose chromatography with a linear NaCl gradient. Plasma renin and cathepsin were also separated using the same system. During the separation steps (in all the above cases) the specific activity of the brain renin-like enzyme was increased, while the specific activity of the brain...

Proteases are important enzymes that their role in various industries is undeniable. However, keeping enzymes stable during its activity in harsh conditions is so important. In this study, protease enzyme was immobilized on the porous silica particles and its stability in different temperatures and pHs was evaluated. First silica particles were aminated by 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane then the ...

Estrogen receptors from rat uterus and human breast carcinoma were analyzed by diethylaminoethyl-cellulose chromatography. Cytosols which had been incubated for short periods of time demonstrated a single discrete elution peak, indicating a single ionic form, while cytosols incubated for longer periods of time generated a second ionic form of receptor. Addition of cations to cytosols also promo...
