Clostridial conversion of corn syrup to Acetone-Butanol-Ethanol (ABE) via batch and fed-batch fermentation.

Only registered users can translate articles

Corn syrup - a commercial product derived from saccharification of corn starch - was used to produce acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) by Clostridium spp. Screening of commercial Clostridium spp., substrate inhibition tests and fed-batch experiments were carried out to improve ABE

Assessment of the minimal effective dose of acetone for potentiation of the hepatotoxicity induced by trichloroethylene-carbon tetrachloride mixtures.

Only registered users can translate articles

Administration of acetone to rats in amounts larger than or equal to a minimal effective dosage (MED) is known to potentiate the severity of the liver damage produced by CCl4 alone. It has been reported that CCl4-induced hepatotoxicity is also enhanced by the previous administration of

Properties of a Solubilized Microsomal Auxin-binding Protein from Coleoptiles and Primary Leaves of Zea mays.

Only registered users can translate articles

An auxin-binding protein can be solubilized from microsomal membranes of Zea mays using either Triton X-100 extraction of the membranes or buffer extraction of the acetone-precipitated membranes. This paper describes the properties of the binding protein solubilized by these two methods. The binding

Characterization of a recombinant zein-degrading protease from Zea mays by Pichia pastoris and its effects on enzymatic hydrolysis of corn starch

Only registered users can translate articles

A zein-degrading protease (ZDP) from Zea mays was heterologously expressed using Pichia pastoris and its characteristics and effects on enzymatic hydrolysis of corn starch were investigated in the current study. The optimal temperature and pH for ZDP activity was 40 °C and pH 5.0, respectively. The

Influence of acetone on the severity of the liver injury induced by haloalkane mixtures.

Only registered users can translate articles

Acetone potentiation of haloalkane-induced liver injury is a well-known phenomenon. Acetone-treated rats challenged with a trichloroethylene-CCl4 mixture exhibit a more sever liver injury than that predicted by the addition of the single potentiating effects of each. The purpose of the present study

Pharmacological and metabolic interactions between ethanol and methyl n-butyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, methyl ethyl ketone, or acetone in mice.

Only registered users can translate articles

Methyl n-butyl ketone (MnBK), methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK), methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), and acetone are widely used industrial solvents to which certain groups of workers are exposed. Pharmacological and metabolic interactions between these solvents and ethanol were explored in male CD-1 mice. The

Inhalation versus oral administration of acetone: effect of the vehicle on the potentiation of CCl4-induced liver injury.

Only registered users can translate articles

Acetone potentiation of liver injury is greater when corn oil is given with acetone 18 h prior to a challenge with CCl4. This study aimed to further characterize the effects of the vehicle used to administer acetone on the severity of acetone-potentiated CCl4-induced liver injury. The more severe

Effects of extraction conditions on improving the yield and quality of an anthocyanin-rich purple corn (Zea mays L.) color extract.

Only registered users can translate articles

Purple corn (Zea mays L.) is a rich and economic source of anthocyanin colorants and functional ingredients. However, high levels of anthocyanin-rich waste are generated during processing, reducing the yields and increasing the costs of the final product. This waste has been associated with

Roles of dietary corn oil in the regulation of cytochromes P450 and glutathione S-transferases in rat liver.

Only registered users can translate articles

To study the molecular mechanisms by which dietary lipids affect the levels of cytochrome P450 (P450) isozymes, male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed either fat-free (FF) or 20% corn oil (CO) diet in combination with one of the following three treatments: no inducer, phenobarbital (PB) and acetone.

Acetone potentiation of chronic liver injury induced by repetitive administration of carbon tetrachloride.

Only registered users can translate articles

The ability of ketonic compounds to modify the chronic liver injury (cirrhosis) induced by haloalkanes is unknown. To investigate this problem, male Sprague-Dawley rats were treated p.o. twice weekly for 12 weeks with acetone (25 mmoles per kg in corn oil) or corn oil alone (10 ml per kg). The rats

Production of acetone butanol ethanol from degermed corn using Clostridium beijerinckii BA101.

Only registered users can translate articles

In this article we report on acetone butanol ethanol (ABE) fermentation characteristics of degermed corn when using Clostridium beijerinckii BA101. Recent economic studies suggested that recovery of germ from corn and hence corn oil would help to make the ABE fermentation process more economical. C.

Quantification of allantoin in various Zea mays L. hybrids by RP-HPLC with UV detection.

Only registered users can translate articles

A RP-HPLC method for quantification of allantoin in silk of fifteen maize hybrids (Zea mays L., Poaceae) was described. Following extraction of the plant material with an acetone-water (7:3, VN) mixture, filtration and dilution, the extracts were analyzed without previous chemical derivatization.

[3H]Indole-3-acetyl-myo-inositol hydrolysis by extracts of Zea mays L. vegetative tissue.

Only registered users can translate articles

[3H]Indole-3-acetyl-myo-inositol was hydrolyzed by buffered extracts of acetone powders prepared from 4 day shoots of dark grown Zea mays L. seedlings. The hydrolytic activity was proportional to the amount of extract added and was linear for up to 6 hours at 37 degrees C. Boiled or alcohol

Study of a corn (Zea mays L.) mutant (blue fluorescent-1) which accumulates anthranilic acid and its beta-glucoside.

Only registered users can translate articles

A corn (Zea mays L.) mutant, blue fluorescent-1 (bf), is described that shows ultraviolet light induced blue fluorescence in young seedling leaves if homozygous for the mutant gene, and in anthers if either homozygous or heterozygous. The blue fluorescent compounds were extracted with acetone and

Lipase-catalyzed simultaneous biosynthesis of biodiesel and glycerol carbonate from corn oil in dimethyl carbonate.

Only registered users can translate articles

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
