Abstract:: ... Bovine mastitis (BM) presents a high incidence, being Staphylococcus aureus one of the major causative agents. Antibiotics comprise the most common therapeutic approach, but due to their indiscriminate use, high rates of increasingly resistant bacterial species have been markedly pointed out. Particularly, S. aureus possesses a pronounced ability to form biofilms, and therefore, are of pivotal int ...

97. Sulfamerazine Schiff-base complex intercalated layered double hydroxide: synthesis, characterization, and antimicrobial activity

Author:: Mary Jenisha Barnabas; Surendran Parambadath; Saravanan Nagappan; Chang-Sik Ha
Source:: Heliyon 2019 v.5 no.4 pp. e01521
ISSN:: 2405-8440
Subject:: Escherichia coli; Staphylococcus aureus; antibacterial properties; cobalt; copper; hydroxybenzaldehyde; ligands; methanol; schiff bases; sulfamerazine
Abstract:: ... Cobalt (Co(II)) and copper (Cu(II)) complexes of sulfamerazine-salicylaldehyde (SS) ligand intercalated Mg/Al-layered double hydroxide [Co-SS-LDH/Cu-SS-LDH] were prepared for the antimicrobial application. Sulfamerazine and salicylaldehyde were mixed together and dissolved in methanol for the synthesis of SS ligand and modified further by the complexation with Co(II) and Cu(II) metal ions [Co-SS/C ...

Subject:: X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy; carbon dioxide; carbon monoxide; catalysts; copper; copper nanoparticles; density functional theory; energy; hydrogen; hydrogenation; methanol; nickel; physical chemistry; temperature
Abstract:: ... Surface segregation and restructuring in size-selected CuNi nanoparticles were investigated via near-ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (NAP-XPS) at various temperatures in different gas environments. Particularly in focus were structural and morphological changes occurring under CO₂ hydrogenation conditions in the presence of carbon monoxide (CO) in the reactant gas mixture. Nickel ...

99. Synthesis and characterization of mead: from the past to the future and development of a new fermentative route

Author:: Anna Luiza Diniz Felipe; Claudemir Oliveira Souza; Leandro Ferreira Santos; Alexandre Cestari
Source:: Journal of food science and technology 2019 v.56 no.11 pp. 4966-4971
ISSN:: 0022-1155
Subject:: acetic acid; byproducts; distillation; ethanol; ethyl acetate; ethyl carbamate; fermentation; gas chromatography; gravimetry; high performance liquid chromatography; honey; mass spectrometry; mead; methanol; off flavors; pH; titration
Abstract:: ... In ancient times, mead was produced by fermentation of honey in water and presented low quality, undesired by-products, off-flavors, and the production was time consuming. In this study, nine experiments were performed to improve the fermentation and mead characteristics. Distillation was not part of the production process and it was performed in this work to produce a new spirit. The samples were ...

Abstract:: ... BACKGROUND: Metabolomics represents a powerful tool for exploring modulation of the human metabolome in response to food intake. However, the choice of multivariate statistical approach is not always evident, especially for complex experimental designs with repeated measurements per individual. Here we have investigated the serum metabolic responses to two breakfast meals: an egg and ham based bre ...
