Submicron atmospheric aerosol particles were collected during the Megacity Initiative: Local and Global Research Observation (MILAGRO) in March 2006 at three platforms located in the Mexico City urban area (at the Mexico City Atmospheric Monitoring System ...
Institut fur Pflanzengenetik und Kulturpflanzenforschung (IPK), Corrensstr. 3, D-06466 Gatersleben, Germany. A complex mixture of fatty acid-derived aldehydes, ketones, and alcohols is released upon wounding of the moss Physcomitrella patens. To investigat ...
A facile and low-cost dip-coating process for the deposition of silicon doped hematite films (Si:alpha-Fe2O3) for hydrogen production by solar water splitting in photo-electrochemical cells (PEC) is presented. The precursors include iron nitrate, oleic aci ...
The reaction of aldehydes and ketones, including aliph. and arom. ones, with amides of alpha -isocyano-beta -phenylpropionic acid in toluene in the presence of lithium bromide gives 2,4,5-trisubstituted oxazoles in good to excellent yield. Protected chiral ...
The influences of poorly water-soluble anthracene on ester-linked phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) and glycolipid fatty acid (GLFA) profiles of Mycobacterium sp. LB501T were studied. Bacteria were cultivated on either anthracene or glucose (one culture with ...
Heterogeneous oxidation of aerosols composed of pure oleic acid (C 18H34O2, an unsaturated fatty acid commonly found in continental and marine aerosol) by gas-phase O3 is known to increase aerosol hygroscopicity ...
The bioconversion of L-phenylalanine (L-Phe) to 2-phenylethanol (PEA) by the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is limited by the toxicity of the product. PEA extn. by a sep. org. phase in the fermenter is the ideal in situ product recovery (ISPR) technique to ...
A rapid transformation of eicosapentaenoic acid is initiated upon disintegration of cells of the marine diatom Stephanopyxis turris. In contrast to any other fatty acid cleaving activity known, this diatom releases a blend of chlorinated C8-hydrocarbons in ...
The nutritional value of diatoms for grazers has been frequently addressed in experiments. However, little is known about the effects of culture conditions on the quality of algae as food for higher trophic levels. We examined the fatty acid composition of ...
Activators of peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-alpha, a nuclear hormone receptor that heterodimerizes with retinoid X receptor, stimulate epidermal differentiation and inhibit proliferation. Here we determined the anti-inflammatory effects of per ...
