The graphite anode reaction in a fused carbonate electrolyte is
studied theoretically and experimentally. Data on open circuit cell
potentials indicate, for operation below 900°C, only a small fraction
of the free energy of reaction is converted to electrical work.
Anode polarization measurements were made for current densities
of up...
A report in the literature suggesting that the use of cottage
cheese dressing cultured with S. diacetilactis would afford enhanced
flavor and shelf life in the finished product prompted this study to
examine reasons for its effectiveness. The method used involved
addition of a culture of S. diacetilactis 18-16 to...
The selective adsorption from a series of binary solutions on an
organoclay complex has been studied in relation to the gelling ability
of this organoclay. Adsorption isotherms were obtained for a series
of polar organic solvents in toluene. The isotherms were of the usual
"S" or "U" type depending upon...
Vibrio marinus, strain MP-1, was shown to grow from pH 6.7
to 8.5, with an optimum at 7.3. Growth was inhibited below salinity
10%₀ and above 60%₀ . The upper temperature limit of
growth was 20 C, and growth was very rapid with aeration at 15 C.
Heating of the...
The original purpose of this research was to study the
metabolic pathway to the synthesis of glutamyl polypeptide
in B. licheniformis. Colonies of B. licheniformis 9945A,
when grown on an appropriate medium appear very smooth
as a result of glutamyl polypeptide accumulation. The plan
of approach was to obtain mutants...
Raw and biologically stabilized Kraft mill effluents were introduced
into laboratory artificial streams at a ratio of 15 ml per liter
of water over a two year period. Effluent from the stabilization pond
of a second mill was introduced at concentrations of from 5 to 40 ml
per liter of...
The dairy industry relies primarily on consistent acid production
by the lactic streptococci for the manufacture of certain cheeses
and fermented dairy products. Variation in these cultures due to
genetic exchange has not been thoroughly investigated. This study
was undertaken to determine if genetic homology exists within the lactic
group,...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the activity of Sindone (isomers of 1, 1-dimethyl-diisopropyl-indanyl ethyl ketone) under field conditions and to gain information regarding the rate of detoxification of Sindone in soil. A series of trials were established in sugar beet fields in California, Oregon, and Washington. Sindone...
