Purpose is to increase uranium content in a PR solution while developing a technique varying oxidation-reduction potential of a leach solution with its oxygenation and identify changes in the oxygenation depending upon sulfuric acid concentration as well as transportation distance of the solution. Methods. A laboratory facility, involving solution tank, pump, Venturi tube, tank to install oxygen analyzer, and a dump tank, has been manufactured under the lab conditions to determine a leach solution oxygenation taking into consideration its delivery rate, sulfuric acid concentration, and temporal preservation of the concentration. Solution flow velocity; the deli-vered solution volume; sulfuric acid concentration; and distance from oxygenation point to a seam changed and varied during the study. Oxygenation was measured with the help of AZ 8403 oximeter; IT-1101 device was used to measure pH value as well as oxidation-reduction potential (ORP). Findings. A technique for a leach solution oxygenation and results of laboratory tests to identify influence of a sulfuric acid as well as transportation distance of a solution on oxygen concentration in the solution have been represented. It has been determined that Venturi tube helps oxygenize a leach solution; in this context, maximum oxygen concentration is achieved if a flow velocity is optimum one. It has been specified that a solution oxygenating depends upon a sulfuric acid concentration decreasing moderately with the increasing distance of the solution transportation. Originality.Following new dependencies have been determined: oxygen concentration in a solution upon a flow velocity and solution volume; and oxygen concentration in a solution upon distance from concentration place and sulfuric acid concentration. Practical implications.A leach solution oxygenation results in the increased oxidation-reduction potential and in the increased content of a useful component in the pregnant solution respectively. The proposed technique is notable for its low capital spending. Moreover, it is integrated easily into the available system being absolutely environmentally friendly.

Abstract Background Biochemical conversion of lignocellulosic biomass to simple sugars at commercial scale is hampered by the high cost of saccharifying enzymes. Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) may hold the key to overcome economic barriers. Recent studies have shown that controlled activation of LPMOs by a continuous H2O2 supply can boost saccharification yields, while overdosing H2O2 may lead to enzyme inactivation and reduce overall sugar yields. While following LPMO action by ex situ analysis of LPMO products confirms enzyme inactivation, currently no preventive measures are available to intervene before complete inactivation. Results Here, we carried out enzymatic saccharification of the model cellulose Avicel with an LPMO-containing enzyme preparation (Cellic CTec3) and H2O2 feed at 1 L bioreactor scale and followed the oxidation–reduction potential and H2O2 concentration in situ with corresponding electrode probes. The rate of oxidation of the reductant as well as the estimation of the amount of H2O2 consumed by LPMOs indicate that, in addition to oxidative depolymerization of cellulose, LPMOs consume H2O2 in a futile non-catalytic cycle, and that inactivation of LPMOs happens gradually and starts long before the accumulation of LPMO-generated oxidative products comes to a halt. Conclusion Our results indicate that, in this model system, the collapse of the LPMO-catalyzed reaction may be predicted by the rate of oxidation of the reductant, the accumulation of H2O2 in the reactor or, indirectly, by a clear increase in the oxidation–reduction potential. Being able to monitor the state of the LPMO activity in situ may help maximizing the benefit of LPMO action during saccharification. Overcoming enzyme inactivation could allow improving overall saccharification yields beyond the state of the art while lowering LPMO and, potentially, cellulase loads, both of which would have beneficial consequences on process economics.

Sperm Dna

Since varicocele is so common in infertile men, this study intends to analyse the relationships between varicocele and conventional semen characteristics, sperm nuclear DNA dispersion and oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) in semen. Varicocele-positive and varicocele-negative infertile men (study groups) showed significantly lower standard sperm parameters and higher sperm DNA fragmentation (SDF) and ORP in semen than healthy volunteers and subjects with proven fertility (control groups). A lower proportion of low SDF levels (0–15% SDF) and higher incidence of high SDF levels (>30% SDF), as well as a higher prevalence of high ORP values (>1.37 mV/106 sperm/mL), were found in the study groups vs. the control groups. Moreover, infertile men had significantly lower odds ratios (ORs) for low SDF levels and significantly higher ORs for high SDF levels and high ORP. SDF and ORP were negatively correlated with sperm number, morphology, motility and vitality. Furthermore, a significant positive correlation was found between SDF and ORP. The obtained results suggest that disorders of spermatogenesis may occur in varicocele-related infertility. These abnormalities are manifested not only by reduced standard semen parameters but also by decreased sperm DNA integrity and simultaneously increased oxidative stress in semen.

Electron Transferring Flavoprotein

Pig kidney general acyl-CoA dehydrogenase is markedly stabilized against loss of flavin and activity in 7.3 M-urea or at 60 degrees C upon reduction with sodium dithionite or octanoyl-CoA. Electron transferring flavoprotein is similarly stabilized, whereas egg white riboflavin-binding protein loses flavin more readily on reduction. These and other data support the anticipated correlation between the kinetic stability of the holoproteins and the oxidation-reduction potential of their bound flavins.
