Alginate is a linear and acidic polysaccharide, composed of (1 → 4) linked β-D-mannuronic acid (ManA) and α-L-guluronic acid (GulA). The ratio of ManA to GulA (M/G) is one of the most important factors for the application of alginate and its derivatives in various areas. In this work, a robust and accurate method was developed to analyze M/G using high-performance anion-exchange chromatography ...

Tarsal tetramery is a rare condition within Carabidae, only found in some members of the endogean tribe Anillini and some cases of Gehringiini. Reduction of tarsomere numbers is also reported in endogean members of other families (e.g. Curculionidae or Staphylinidae). Recent fieldwork in southwestern Spain provided specimens of three new species of the endogean Anillini Typhlocharis Dieck, 1869...

The feeding biology of eight species of benthivorous fishes was studied in a sandy shore at Anchieta Island, south-eastern Brazilian coast. The fishes fed mainly on Amphipoda and Mysidacea crustaceans. The diet of the most abundant species, the drum Umbrina coroides, was analyzed in three standard length classes (20-55, 56-90 and 91-135 mm). This sciaenid showed an ontogenetic diet shift from M...

Wine was a fermented drink made of grapes extract. However, wine could be from other fruits that contain glucose, such as snake fruit. Making snack fruit an alternative to overcome the abundance at its harvest time. The making done by giving treatment about different types and sugar concentration used produce with best characteristics. purpose this research determine effect on characteristics w...
