A series of laboratory experiments was conducted to determine the mechanism(s) responsible for a previously reported observation that addition of liquid manure to soil increased the NaHCO3-extractable P (Ext-P) of large aggregates (> 2 mm) more than that of smaller aggregates whereas addition of an inorganic P solution did not. Application of liquid poultry manure increased the total P, Ext-P and total C concentrations in large aggregates (> 2 mm) much more (> 2.5 ×) than that in small aggregates (< 1 mm). Addition of inorganic P solution or of supernatant liquid from a centrifuged manure slurry increased the P content of the large aggregates only slightly (1.2 ×). A greater increase in Ext-P in large aggregates was observed even when the smaller aggregates were purposely layered on top of the larger ones prior to addition of the liquid manure. A similar but less pronounced effect of aggregate size on increase in P or C concentration was observed when different sized aggregates were left in contact with an effectively infinite source of liquid manure for 24 h. It is concluded that the larger aggregates absorbed more of the bulk manure slurry than smaller aggregates. A partial sealing of small aggregates by particulates is suggested as a possible mechanism.

Abstract We prepared human urinary glycopeptides from the supernatant liquid remaining after precipitation of the nondialyzable fraction with cetylpyridinium chloride. Using cation exchange and affinity chromatographies and gel filtration, we obtained 28 glycopeptide subfractions. By compositional analyses of sugar and amino acid, and by reducing-terminal analyses after reduction with NaBH4, we determined the size of the carbohydrate moiety and the types of carbohydrate-peptide linkage involved. We isolated several glycopeptides not previously described: six with sialic acid, two with fucose, two with glucose, and one with N-acetylgalactosamine. The sialic acid glycopeptides had a short carbohydrate chain of the O-glycoside type. The fucose-containing glycopeptides were fucosyllactosaminoglycans. The glucose glycopeptides were polymers linked to a small peptide moiety. The N-acetylgalactosamine-rich glycopeptide was found in an N-glycoside-type fraction, with N-acetylgalactosamine at the nonreducing terminal.

This article contains the results of investigations conducted at the WULS in Warsaw concerning initial treatment of sewage sludge by means of microwave disintegration. Sewage sludge were taken from the "Mokre Łąki" wastewater treatment plant in the municipality of Izabelin. Experiments were carried out on concentrated and non-concentrated sludge. Each of the sludges was disintegrated in portions of varying volumes and also at different time of microwave interactions. Significant changes in the values of the tested parameters such as COD, turbidity and temperature due to the sludge suppression process were considered. These parameters have a significant impact on the course of further processes that treated sludge and supernatant liquid can be processed. Therefore, determining the volatility of these parameters is important.

Soil collected in the Australian Capital Territory was divided into fractions by sieving and subsequent deposition from aqueous suspensions. The greater proportion of the Pythium, and indeed the fungal population, was found, by plating, to be concentrated in the coarser portion of the soil, most of the bacterial population being in the colloidal part. After deposition of the colloids for 4 weeks, and with them the bacteria, a mean of less than one bacterium was plated per ml of supernatant liquid. The separation of bacteria and fungi facilitated the isolation of Pythium. The Pythium population of the surface soil was about 1000 per g. The mean number of isolates of Pythium in 11 other surface soil samples was 1.7 per mg using the fraction sedimenting from an aqueous suspension in 5 min. In similar fractions of soil taken at 18 and 24 in. below the surface the number of Pythium isolates was 3 per 10 mg.

Abstract A method recently has been developed for the detection of hygromycin B residues in chicken eggs at the 15 ppb level. Protein is precipitated with trichloroacetic acid. After centrifugation, the supernatant liquid is adjusted to pH 7.0 and placed on an IRC-50 ion exchange column. The column is washed with water and then acetone, and subsequently the hygromycin B is eluted with ammonium hydroxide. The eluate is evaporated to dryness and reconstituted in a known amount of water; hygromycin B is microbiologically detected with Pseudomonas syringae by bioautography on thin layer chromatographic plates.

A systematic and structure-agnostic method for identifying heterogeneous activity of solid acids for catalyzing cellulose hydrolysis is presented. The basis of the method is preparation of a supernatant liquid by exposing the solid acid to reaction conditions and subsequent use of the supernatant liquid as a cellulose hydrolysis catalyst to determine the effects of in situ generated homogeneous acid species. The method was applied to representative solid acid catalysts, including polymer-based, carbonaceous, inorganic, and bifunctional materials. In all cases, supernatant liquids produced from these catalysts exhibited catalytic activity for cellulose hydrolysis. Direct comparison of the activity of the solid acid catalysts and their supernatants could not provide unambiguous detection of heterogeneous catalysis. A reaction pathway kinetic model was used to evaluate potential false-negative interpretation of the supernatant liquid test and to differentiate heterogeneous from homogeneous effects on cellulose hydrolysis. Lastly, differences in the supernatant liquids obtained in the presence and absence of cellulose were evaluated to understand possibility of false-positive interpretation, using structural evidence from the used catalysts to gain a fresh understanding of reactant–catalyst interactions. While many solid acid catalysts have been proposed for cellulose hydrolysis, to our knowledge, this is the first effort to attempt to differentiate the effects of heterogeneous and homogeneous activities. The resulting supernatant liquid method should be used in all future attempts to design and develop solid acids for cellulose hydrolysis.

An effective, value-added use of the large amounts of olefinic compounds produced in the processing of petroleum, aside from ethylene and propylene, has been a long outstanding challenge. Here, we developed a novel heterogeneous polymerization method, beyond emulsion/dispersion/suspension, termed self-stabilized precipitation (2SP) polymerization, which involves the nucleation and growth of nanoparticles (NPs) of a well-defined size without the use of any stabilizers and multifunctional monomers (crosslinker). This technique leads to two revolutionary advances: (1) the generation of functional copolymer particles from single olefinic monomer or complex olefinic mixtures (including C4/C5/C9 fractions) in large quantities, which open a new way to transform huge amount of unused olefinic compounds in C4/C5/C9 fractions into valuable copolymers, and (2) the resultant polymeric NPs possess a self-limiting size and narrow size distribution, therefore being one of the most simple, efficient, and green strategies to produce uniform, size-tunable, and functional polymeric nanoparticles. More importantly, the separation of the NPs from the reaction medium is simple and the supernatant liquid can be reused; hence this new synthetic strategy has great potential for industrial production.

Antibacterial activity of cashew stembark (Anacardium occidentale Linn) on Staphylococcus aureus. Microbial activity acts as a sign of disruption of bacterial growth. The bark of cashew (Anacardium occidentale Linn.) contains phenolic compounds such as flavonoids, tannins and anacardic acid which have an activity as antimicrobial. One of the Gram positivebacteria in the oral cavity was Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). The aim of the study was to observe the bacterial activity of ethanolic extract of the cashew to a metal ion, i.e. Ca2+ and K+ leakage from S aureus. This research used one ose bacteria S. aureus at a density of 106 standard Brown as much as 10 mL and centrifuged at a speed of 3500 rpm for 20 minutes. The filtrate discarded, pellets in the tube was washed using phosphate buffer pH 7.0. Furthermore the ethanolic extract of the bark of the cashew stembark was added in the concentrations of 3.5% and 7% without any extract as a control, each of which was in 5 tubes, incubated in an incubator for 24 hours. The suspension was centrifused with a speed of 3500 rpm for 20 minutes prior to be filtered. Supernatant liquid was taken and measured absorbance using AAS. Data were analyzed using one way Anova p = 0.05. The results showed that leakage of Ca2+ was  at concentrations of 0%, 3%, 5% and 7% were 2.42 ± 0.82; 32.87 ± 1.97; 49.10 ± 3.33; 66.73 ± 3.29, respectively while for the K+ metal was 15.28 ± 0.46; 606.36 ± 14.14; 895 ± 9.5; 1251 ± 11.54. Anova one way showed a significant effect (p <0.050) ethanolic extract of the bark of cashew against leakage of metal ions Ca2+ and K+ at S aureus bacteria. LSD test showed a significant difference among all treatment groups. It was concluded that there was antibacterial activity of ethanolic extract of the cashew stembark on bacteria S. aureus based on leakage of metal ions Ca2+ and K+ The highest leakage of metal ions was at the concentrations of 7%. ABSTRAKAktivitas antibakteri merupakan tanda terganggunya pertumbuhan bakteri.
