Study of the role of particle-particle dipole interaction in dielectrophoretic devices for biomarkers identification
2015
A three dimensional Coupled Monte Carlo-Poisson method has been used to evaluate the impact of particle-particle dipole interactions in the equilibrium distribution of a system of uncharged polarizable particles suspended in a static liquid medium under the action of an oscillating non-uniform electric field generated by polynomial electrodes. We compare the simulated distributions with experimental ones both for micro- (MDA-MB-231 breast tumor cells) and nano-(multiwall carbon nanotubes) particles. In both cases the equilibrium distributions near the electrodes are dominated by dipole interactions which locally enhance the DEP effect and promote long particles chains.
Ciclohexadespipeptide beauvericin degradation by different strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae
2013
Abstract The interaction between the mycotoxin beauvericin (BEA) and 9 yeast strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae named LO9, YE-2, YE5, YE-6, YE-4, A34, A17, A42 and A08 was studied. The biological degradations were carried out under aerobic conditions in the liquid medium of Potato Dextrose Broth (PDB) at 25 °C for 48 h and in a food/feed system composed of corn flour at 37 °C for 3 days, respectively. BEA present in fermented medium and corn flour was determined using liquid chromatography coupled to the mass spectrometry detector in tandem (LC–MS/MS) and the BEA degradation products produced during the fermentations were determined using the technique of the liquid chromatography coupled …
Preservation of Microbial Strains in the Wine Industry
2011
Publisher Summary This chapter provides a general description of the most commonly used methods for the preservation of microbial strains. Long-term preservation methods are considered the most appropriate option wherever possible, since they involve stopping the growth of the microbial cells and keeping them in a viable state. This guarantees maximum genetic stability by preventing the appearance of successive generations. Nevertheless, the possibility that the preparation method itself leads to changes cannot be ruled out. There are two preservation methods belonging to this group: freezing and lyophilization. In the first long-term preservation method, the cells are frozen suspended in a…
Measurement of Low Concentration of Nanosized Objects Suspended in a Liquid Medium
2018
The new optical scheme of refractometer with temperature stabilisation 10-2 °C is developed, which allows measuring a refractive index of the sample with accuracy not worse than 10-5; dependence of refraction index on concentration of SiO2 nanoparticles in liquid suspension is obtained within the framework of the research.
Inhibitoren der Korrosion 28 (1). 2-Aminopyrimidin (2-AP) als an Inhibitor der the Korrosion des Kupfers in Salzlösungen unter Sauerstoff
1982
2-Aminopyrimidin ist der z. Z. beste Inhibitor der Korrosion von Kupfer unter Standardbedingungen. Mit den aus der Oberflache der Kupferprobe austretenden oder gebildeten Cu1+-Ionen baut sich eine Schutzschicht auf. Die Ausbildung dieser Deckschicht wird studiert als Funktion: (a) der Konzentration an 2-AP und der Cu2+-Ionen, (b) der Stromungsgeschwindigkeit und (c) in Abhangigkeit von der Art der Anionen im korrosiven Medium. Ruhepotential-Zeit-Messungen, Strom-Spannungskurven, Polarisationswiderstandskurven und Halteversuche, ohne und mit 2-AP sowie ohne und mit Cu2+-Ionen vermitteln einen Einblick in den Aufbau der Deckschicht. Inhibiors of corrosion 28 (1). 2-Aminopyrimidine (2-AP) as a…
ChemInform Abstract: Lasiolactols A and B Produced by the Grapevine Fungal Pathogen Lasiodiplodia mediterranea
2016
A strain of Lasiodiplodia mediterranea, a fungus associated with grapevine decline in Sicily, produced several metabolites in liquid medium. Two new dimeric γ-lactols, lasiolactols A and B (1 and 2), were characterized as (2S*,3S*,4R*,5R*,2'S*,3'S*,4'R*,5'R*)- and (2R*,3S*,4R*,5R*,2'R*,3'S*,4'R*,5'R*)-(5-(4-hydroxymethyl-3,5-dimethyl-tetrahydro-furan-2-yloxy)-2,4-dimethyl-tetrahydro-furan-3-yl]-methanols by IR, 1D- and 2D-NMR, and HR-ESI-MS. Other four metabolites were identified as botryosphaeriodiplodin, (5R)-5-hydroxylasiodiplodin, (-)-(1R,2R)-jasmonic acid, and (-)-(3S,4R,5R)-4-hydroxymethyl-3,5-dimethyldihydro-2-furanone (3 - 6, resp.). The absolute configuration (R) at hydroxylated se…
Microcinematographic Studies of Mycoplasma hominis Cells
1973
Cells of two strains of Mycoplasma hominis growing in liquid medium on a glass surface were observed continuously, and cinematographic pictures were taken. Most of the observed structures showed reversible changes of their shape, suggesting the presence of contractile material in membrane or cytoplasma. The frequency and speed of such variations were measured. The deformations seem to be related to multiplication. The mechanisms of these phenomena are unknown.
Antifungal Activity of Bioactive Metabolites Produced by Trichoderma asperellum and Trichoderma atroviride in Liquid Medium
2020
Trichoderma spp. are known as biocontrol agents of fungal plant pathogens and have been recognized as a potential source of bioactive metabolites. The production of antimicrobial substances from strains T. atroviride (TS) and T. asperellum (IMI 393899) was investigated. The bioactivity of 10- and 30-day culture filtrate extracted with ethyl acetate was assessed against a set of pathogenic fungi and oomycetes. The 30-day extracts of both strains had significant cytotoxic effects against the tested pathogens, with values of minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC) ranging between 0.19 and 6.25 mg/mL. Dual culture assay (direct contact and nondirect contact) and the percentage inhibition of radi…
