Ligand-capped gold nanoparticles were synthesized by capping monothiol derivatives of 2,2'dipyridyl onto the surface of Au nanoparticles (Au-BT). The average size of the metal core is around 4 nm, with a shell of similar ...

Gellan gum, a high-molecular-weight anionic linear polysaccharide produced by pure-culture fermentation from Sphingomonas paucimobilis ATCC 3146 1, has elicited industrial interest in recent years as a high-viscosity biogum, ...

Agro industrial residues, cheap sources of energy have high potential in the area of fermentation for the production of lignocellulases. Different agro industrial waste products were evaluated as substrates in submerged ...

-Galactosidases ( -galactoside galactohydrolase, EC.3.2.1.22) are exoglycosidases that cleave terminal -1→6-linked galactose residues from glycoconjugates. To select best medium for the enhanced production of this enzyme ...

Coassembly of short molecular wires OPE1 with chiral analogues OPE2, both of which are CD silent, exhibited a sergeant-and-soldiers effect that resulted in transformation of vesicular aggregates of OPE1 into CD-active ...

The antioxidant activities of the methanolic extract of Cinnamomum verum barks (CBE) were evaluated with reference to antioxidant compounds like butylated hydroxyl anisole, trolox and ascorbic acid. By virtue of their ...

The synthesis and study of the photo- and thermoresponsive behavior of a series of novel asymmetric mesogenic dimers, consisting of a cholesterol moiety linked to a diphenylbutadiene chromophore via flexible alkyl chains ...

Saccharification and fermentation of cassava (Manihot esculenta) bagasse was carried out in a single step for the production of L-(+)-lactic acid by Lactobacillus casei and Lactobacillus delbrueckii. Using 15.5% w/v of ...

Titanium dioxide shows polymorphism on heating to a higher temperature. This transformation is strongly dependent on temperature and time of heating. Pure Titania pulp containing amorphous titania was heated at different ...
