The objectives of this work were (1) to demonstrate how the chemostat approach could be modified to allow determination of kinetic parameters for a sparingly soluble, volatile substrate such as naphthalene and (2) to examine the influence of the interactions of various nutrients on possible growth-inhibitory effects of naphthalene. Pseudomonas putida G7 was used as a model naphthalene-degrading microorganism. Naphthalene was found to be toxic to P. putida G7 in the absence of a nitrogen source o

Cathepsin B has been suggested to be a prognostic marker of melanoma, glioma, and a variety of cancers such as brain, breast, colon, esophageal, gastric, lung, ovarian, and thyroid cancers. Cathepsin B inhibitors have also been considered as anticancer drug candidates; hence, there has been a growing need for a probe which enables the selective and simple detection of cathepsin B and its inhibitors. For the purpose of selective assay, a cathepsin B-specific substrate, N,N'-diBoc-dityrosine-glyci

Biological conversion of high-concentration CO₂in the emission gases using a deep-sea sulfur oxidizing bacterium.

Magnetic particles of size 10 nm have been coated with silica to a mean diameter of 40 nm and charged with Cu2+ ions via a multidentate ligand, iminodiacetic acid (IDA), for the immobilization of His-tagged Bacillus stearothermopilus L1 lipase. Microporous (average pore diameter of 60 Å) silica gel with a mean particle diameter of 115 µm has been used as a comparative support material. The molar ratio of Cu2+ to IDA was found to be 1:1.14 and 1:1.99 in the silica gel and the silica-coated magnet

Three models for sorption/desorption of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) contaminants from soil were compared for their ability to predict the transport of PAH in soil: a “gamma” model, a “two-site/two-region” nonequilibrium model, and a “hybrid” model. In the “hybrid” model, soil organic matter was conceptually divided into two compartments; a fraction with rapid sorption/desorption kinetics and a compartment with mass-transfer-limited kinetics. Contaminant sorbed in the rapid compartment
