Rhamnolipids find broad applications as natural surfactants, emulsifiers, and antibiotics because of their low toxicity, high biodegradability and environmental soundness. In this study, a pH stage-controlled process of fermentation of rhamnolipids by Pseudomonas aeruginosa O-2-2 was established. A yield of 24.06 g/L in batch fermentation was achieved in a 5-L fermentor via the optimization of ...

background: hydrocarbons degradation is principally achieved by microorganisms in natural environments. the extent of hydrocarbons biodegradation is mainly conditioned by environmental factors and its success depends on the optimal condition for the crude oil degrading isolates. objectives: the aims of the current study was to isolate and identify crude oil degrading bacterium from surface sedi...

sulphide was determined spectrophotometrically at 628 nm and ph 6.7 based on its catalytic reduction of toluidine blue in the presence of se(iv) using a flow injection system. after optimization of the measuring conditions the calibration curve was found linear up to 25 mg/ml and the detection limit was 0.3 mg/ml (30 ml injections). the relative standard deviation for the determination of 10 mg...

background: bromide is found naturally in groundwater and surface water. the rapid growth of industrial activities, drainage of surface runoff, and use of methyl bromide in pesticides has increased bromide discharge to the environment. disinfection of water-containing bromide causes the creation of additional products of organo-halogenated that are considered cancer-causing agents. in this stud...

RSM (Response Surface Methodology) is one method that widely used for process optimization. The purpose of this study was to obtain the optimum combination treatments in milk processing. given pre-heating time and pulsed electric field with response levels free fatty acids (%), vitamin C (mg/ml), pH. temperature 70ºC voltage 15 kV/cm. Software Design Expert 13 optimize condition obtained a heat...

background: this study focused on isolation and identification of a phenanthrene (phe) degrader bacterium and optimization of environmental conditions for phe degradation. materials and methods: enrichment technique was used for isolation and the most effective isolate, named ap, selected based on its phe biodegradation abilities. the isolate was identified using morphological and biochemical t...

HMR 1826 (N-[4-beta-Glucuronyl-3-nitrobenzyl-oxycarbonyl]doxorubicin) is a nontoxic glucuronide prodrug from which active doxorubicin is released by beta-glucuronidase. Preclinical studies aimed at dose optimization of HMR 1826, based on intratumoral pharmacokinetics, are important to design clinical studies. Using an isolated perfused human lung model, the uptake of doxorubicin into normal tis...
