Protection of yeast cells in micro-organized shells of natural polyelectrolytes during drying process

2016

The encapsulation techniques are applied in various fields and for various applications. The layer-by-layer self-assembly (LbL), one of the encapsulation techniques, is built by the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged polyelectrolytes, and the topmost layer determines essentially the sur-face properties of the edifice. This technique offers several advantages (low cost, simplicity of process and equipment, biocompatibility and biodegra-dation, etc.). In this present paper, results of the protection of Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast cells in microorganized shell of natural polyelectrolytes during dehydration process are reported. To apply the LbL method to individually encaps…

Photocatalytic oxidation of aromatic alcohols to aldehydes in aqueous suspension of home prepared titanium dioxide: 2. Intrinsic and surface features…

2008

Some intrinsic electronic properties of home prepared (HP) TiO2 catalysts were investigated by diffuse reflectance spectroscopy and quasi-Fermi level measurements. These powders were used for carrying out the photocatalytic oxidation of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde and CO2 in water; the selectivity for aldehyde formation was enhanced by the addition of small amounts of ethanol, a typical hole trap. The values of band gap, valence band and conduction band edges are almost identical for all the HP samples in which anatase phase is predominant, whereas appreciable differences can be noticed for an HP sample containing high amount of rutile phase. A comparative ATR-FTIR study of the HP cataly…

Nature and origin of natural Zn clay minerals from the Bou Arhous Zn ore deposit: Evidence from electron microscopy (SEM-TEM) and stable isotope comp…

2016

International audience; Zn-clay minerals have been found in the non-sulfide deposit of Bou Arhous (High Atlas, Morocco). They occur as white or ochre clays embedding willemite (Zn2SiO4) and are commonly associated to red detrital clays in karstic cavities. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) with Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) analyses were combined in order to characterize the clay minerals and to determine the mechanism of their formation. XRD patterns on oriented and powdered clays and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic analyses suggest that fraipontite is the major Zn clay phase (with some smectite interstrat…

Sistemātisks mikroplastmasas monitorings saldūdens ekosistēmā mikroplastmasas piesārņojuma un tā sezonālās dinamikas izvērtēšanai

2020

Darbā veikta ar mikroplastmasu saistītās literatūras izskatīšana, pievēršot lielāku uzmanību pētījumiem par mikroplastmasu saldūdens sistēmās. Tika veikta sezonāla Mazā Baltezera mikroplastmasas piesārņojuma noteikšana, periodiski palageāli ievācot paraugus. Veikta paraugu attīrīšanu no piemaisījumiem. Mikroplastmasas noteikšana tika veikta ar FTIR-ATR metodi. Izvirzītā hipotēze – sezonalitātei ir būtiska ietekme uz konstatēto mikroplastmasas daudzumu un polimēru veidu.

Investigation of water transfer across thin layer biopolymer films by infrared spectroscopy

2011

International audience; The investigation of the apparent diffusivity of water in thin layer iota-carrageenan-based films by FTIR-ATR spectroscopy clearly evidences the fundamental role of surface properties on water transfer. Water diffusivity in iota-carrageenan based biopolymer films ranges from 0.3 to 1.3 × 10−10 m2 s−1 and is thus 10–100 times lower than that in highly hydrated carrageenan gels. The surface heterogeneity and composition when fat is added strongly influence the diffusivity by modifying the liquid water absorption at the inner surface.This study of diffusing molecules in liquid state is particularly interesting to mimic situations where direct liquid water contact occurs…

Structural characterization of triorganotin(IV) complexes with sodium fusidate and DFT calculations

2010

Abstract Three new complexes of the steroid sodium fusidate (sodium 2-[(1 S ,2 S ,5 R ,6 S ,7 S ,10 S ,11 S ,13 S , 14 Z ,15 R ,17 R )-13-(acetyloxy)-5,17-dihydroxy-2,6,10,11-tetramethyl tetracyclo[8.7.0.0 2,7 .0 11,15 ] heptadecan-14-ylidene]-6-methylhept-5-enoate = (NaFusidate, Na FA )]), with triorganotin(IV) moieties have been prepared and investigated by conventional techniques as FTIR, Mossbauer, ESI-MS and NMR spectroscopy. The isolated compounds showed stoichiometries organotin(IV)/fusidate 1/1, R 3 Sn(IV) FA (R = Me, FA1 ; Bu, FA2 ; Ph, FA3 ). The ligand coordination sites were determined by FTIR spectroscopic measurements. In the complexes, the carboxylate group of the fusidate li…

Crypthecodinium cohnii Growth and Omega Fatty Acid Production in Mediums Supplemented with Extract from Recycled Biomass

2022

Crypthecodinium cohnii is a marine heterotrophic dinoflagellate that can accumulate high amounts of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), and thus has the potential to replace conventional PUFAs production with eco-friendlier technology. So far, C. cohnii cultivation has been mainly carried out with the use of yeast extract (YE) as a nitrogen source. In the present study, alternative carbon and nitrogen sources were studied: the extraction ethanol (EE), remaining after lipid extraction, as a carbon source, and dinoflagellate extract (DE) from recycled algae biomass C. cohnii as a source of carbon, nitrogen, and vitamins. In mediums with glucose and DE, the highest specific biomass gr…
