When sulfur dioxide is used in commercial drying of fruits in
combination with low storage temperatures, browning and microbial spoilage
can be inhibited. However, the relationship between moisture level,
storage temperature, and sulfur dioxide content on the color of dried
fruit is not known; therefore the purpose of this research...
Inhibition of polyphenol oxidase (PPO) by sulfur dioxide (SO₂)
was studied using three different sources of PPO (banana, mushroom,
and pear). Several methods to detect PPO activity were tested due to
SO₂, interference in some of the assays. The method using
2-nitro-5-thiobenzoic acid (TNB) to react with the quinones was...
Gravity and magnetic data from cruises by the R/V Yaquina in 1973
and the R/V Wecoma in 1975 provide new data that make possible the construction of a map of the free-air gravity anomalies at sea and simple
Bouguer anomalies on lano in Panama, western Colombia, and the eastern
Panama...
Nitrosomonas europaea is a chemolithoautotrophic bacterium that oxidizes ammonia (NH₃) to obtain energy for growth on carbon dioxide (CO₂) and can also produce nitrous oxide (N₂O), a greenhouse gas. We interrogated the growth, physiological, and transcriptome responses of N. europaea to conditions of replete (>5.2 mM) and limited inorganic carbon...

The placement of ‘Pseudomonas butanovora’ in the genus Thauera was proposed previously, based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, upon further studies of taxonomical characteristics. In this study, physiological characteristics and DNA–DNA reassociation data are presented and the transfer of ‘P. butanovora’ to the genus Thauera is proposed. The original...
Soluble butane monooxygenase (sBMO), a three-component di-iron monooxygenase complex
expressed by the C2–C9 alkane-utilizing bacterium Thauera butanivorans, was kinetically
characterized by measuring substrate specificities for C1–C5 alkanes and product inhibition
profiles. sBMO has high sequence homology with soluble methane monooxygenase (sMMO) and
shares a similar substrate range, including gaseous and...
