Biodiesel [fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs)] and glycerol carbonate were synthesized from corn oil and dimethyl carbonate (DMC) via transesterification using lipase (Novozyme 435) in solvent-free reaction in which excess DMC was used as the substrate and reaction medium. Glycerol carbonate was also
Ammonium gluconate (AG) provides both an organic carbon source and a nitrogen source, which can positively improve soil fertility and delay soil degradation. We investigated the underlying mechanisms of both NH4+ - and C6 H11 O7-
Short-term enhancement of lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn) uptake by corn (Zea mays L.) seedlings from a contaminated soil was compared using slow-release coated EDTA granules-a coated chelating agent (CCA), uncoated EDTA granules, and EDTA solution in a greenhouse experiment. Soil Pb and Zn fractions were
The protein T-URF13 (URF13) is specific to mitochondria of maize (Zea mays L.) with Texas (T) male-sterile cytoplasm and has been implicated in causing male sterility and susceptibility to T-cytoplasm-specific fungal diseases. T-URF13 was purified from isolated mitochondria from maize (line B73)
Streptomyces are good producers of enzymes of industrial interest, such as lignin peroxidase (LiP) and proteases. To optimize production of these enzymes by Streptomyces viridosporus T7A, two parameters were evaluated: carbon sources and calcium carbonate. Shake-flask fermentations were performed
Maltobionic acid is known to have an inhibitory effect on the differentiation of osteoclasts, and it has also been reported in an intervention trial that ingestion of corn syrup solids containing maltobionic acid maintained and increased the bone density of postmenopausal women. However, there is no
Maize represents one of the main cultivar for food and energy and crop yields are influenced by soil physicochemical and climatic conditions. To study how maize plants influence soil microbes we have examined microbial communities that colonize maize plants grown in carbonate-rich soil (pH 8.5)
BACKGROUND
Alkaline soils with high calcium carbonate and low organic matter are deficient in plant nutrient availability. Use of organic and bio-fertilizers has been suggested to improve their properties. Therefore, a greenhouse experiment was conducted to evaluate the integrative role of
A three-step alternative synthesis of 4-acetylbenzoxazolin-2(3H)-one (4) is reported. Starting from inexpensive 3-hydroxyacetophenone (1) 3-hydroxy-2-nitroacetophenone (2) is prepared by nitration followed by catalytic hydrogenation to yield 2-amino-3-hydroxyacetophenone (3) in which a C=O unit is
Corn pectic polysaccharide (COPP) inhibited galectin-3 mediated hemagglutination at Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of 4.08 μg/mL as opposed to citrus pectin (25 μg/mL), a well known galectin-3 inhibitor and lactose (4.16 μg/mL)--sugar specific to galectin-3. COPP effectively (72%) inhibited
Upland and paddy soils, as well as corn samples, were collected in the selenosis area of Naore Village, Ziyang County, Shaanxi Province, China. A five-step sequential extraction procedure was used for selenium (Se) fractionation, including soluble Se, exchangeable Se and carbonate-bound Se, iron and
Metals that contaminate soil is one of the major problems seriously affecting sustainable agriculture worldwide. Nickel (Ni) toxicity to agricultural crops is a global problem. Mobility of heavy metals present in contaminated soil can be reduced by the amendment of soil passivators, which will
The use of heat- and alkali-resistant bacteria is essential for the biological repair of damaged concrete. Lysinibacillus boronitolerans YS11 was isolated from the rhizosphere of Miscanthus sacchariflorus. The increased pH in the urea-minus condition during the growth of the YS11 strain promoted
To understand the roles of mycorrhiza in metal speciation in the rhizosphere and the impact on increasing host plant tolerance against excessive heavy metals in soil, maize (Zea mays L.) inoculated with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (Glomus mosseae) was cultivated in heavy metal contaminated soil.
Sucrose (Suc) synthase (SUS) cleaves Suc to form UDP glucose and fructose, and exists in soluble and membrane-associated forms, with the latter proposed to channel UDP glucose to the cellulose-synthase complex on the plasma membrane of plant cells during synthesis of cellulose. However, the
