Alpha-galactosidase was immobilized in a mixture of k-carrageenan and locust bean gum. The properties of the free and immobilized enzyme were then determined. The optimum pH for both the soluble and immobilized enzyme was 4.8. The optimum temperature for the soluble enzymes was 50 degrees C, whereas that for the immobilized enzyme was 55 degrees C. The immobilized enzyme was used in batch, repeated batch, and continuous modes to degrade the raffinose-family sugars present in soymilk. Two hours of incubation with the free and immobilized alpha-galactosidases resulted in an 80% and 68% reduction in the raffinose oligosaccharides in the soymilk, respectively. In the repeated batch, a 73% reduction was obtained in the fourth cycle. A fluidized bed reactor was also designed to treat soymilk continuously and the performance of the immobilized alpha-galactosidase tested at different flow rates, resulting in a 90% reduction of raffinose-family oligosaccharides in the soymilk at a flow rate 40 ml/h. Therefore, the present study demonstrated that immobilized alpha-galactosidase in a continuous mode is efficient for reducing the oligosaccharides present in soymilk, which may be of considerable interest for industrial application. 相似文献

We describe for the first time the sexual behavior and the courtship song of males of the African fly Zaprionus indianus (Gupta), a recent invader of South America. The male courtship song is formed by monocyclic pulses and the courtship behavior is simple when compared to that of species of Drosophila. Two interpulse interval (IPI) distributions were observed: pre-mounting and mounting. No significant difference was observed between the pre-mounting IPIs of males that descended from three geographical populations from South America. We also observed the songs produced by females and the homosexual behavior exhibited by males. A sequence of bursts is produced by females as a refusal signal against males, while males emit a characteristic song that identifies sex genus, which differs from the courtship song. The short courtship and mating latencies recorded reveal vigorous males and receptive females, respectively. 相似文献

The polycation forms a complex with DNA. The complex was stabilized to thermal denaturation by millimolar concentrations of LiClO4, in the range of 0.1-0.10 M LiClO4. No hyperchromicity was observed in the thermal profiles, and instead, hyperchromicity was observed. The complex showed no significant extrinsic CD band, but showed LiClO4-dependent alterations in the DNA intrinsic bands. It was found that Li+ was primarily responsible for the stabilization of the complex. It is proposed that Li+ stabilization arises through ternary complex formation and that the chaotropic ClO4- catalyzes conversion of less stable DNA-polycation complex into a more stable form. 相似文献

The alcohol dehydrogenase (Adh) gene was isolated from Drosophila simulans
and D. mauritiana, and the DNA sequence of a 4.6-kb region, containing the
structural gene and flanking sequence, was determined for each. These
sequences were compared with the Adh region of D. melanogaster to
characterize changes that occur in the Drosophila genome during evolution
and to identify conserved sequences of functional importance. Drosophila
simulans and D. mauritiana Adh are organized in a manner similar to that of
D. melanogaster Adh, including the presence of two promoters for the single
Adh gene. This study identified conserved flanking elements that, in
conjunction with other studies, suggest regions that may be involved in the
control of Adh expression. Inter- and intraspecies comparisons revealed
differences in the kinds of sequence changes that have accumulated.
Sequence divergence in and around the Adh gene was used to assess inter-
and intraspecies evolutionary relationships. Finally, there appears to be
an unrelated structural gene located directly 3' of the Adh transcribed
region.

Consumption of soymilk and soybean derived foods has been hampered due to the presence of RFOs (raffinose family oligosaccharides).
Soy-based foods free from RFOs have positive impact on their acceptance as protein rich food. α-Galactosidase was entrapped
in PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) cross linked with boric acid. Immobilized enzyme showed shift in optimum pH of 0.4 units and the
activity yield of the immobilized α-galactosidase was found to be 76%. Immobilized enzyme was used to reduce RFOs in soymilk.
In batch reaction after 12 h incubation soluble and immobilized enzyme showed 92 and 83% reduction of RFOs in soymilk, respectively.
In repeated batch experiments immobilized enzyme showed 64% of its hydrolyzing activity after 6th cycle. PVA-immobilized α-galactosidase
in fluidized bed reactor showed highest reduction (92%) of RFOs at a flow rate of 30 mL/h. The results of this study are interesting
for their use in food processing industry. 相似文献

We describe here a new method for specific staining of mast cells using ferroin. Different hamster tissues were fixed in 4% formalin and processed for paraffin embedding. Sections were stained with hematoxylin followed by ferroin acidified with 2.5 N sulfuric acid to pH 4.0. Mast cells stained an intense orange color that contrasted markedly with bluish violet nuclei. High contrast was also observed when ferroin colored sections were counterstained with light green instead of hematoxylin. To evaluate the specificity of the stain, hamster cheek pouch sections were stained with toluidine blue, alcian blue-safranin O, and ferroin. Quantitative evaluation of mast cells stained with the three techniques showed no statistical difference. The simplicity and selectivity of this method is sufficient for image analysis of mast cells. 相似文献

A bacterial strain capable of producing extracellular alpha-galactosidase was isolated from sugar cane industrial waste soil sample. Microbiological, physiological, and biochemical studies revealed that isolate belonged to Bacillus sp,. Furthermore, 16S rDNA sequence analysis of new isolates was identified as Bacillus megaterium VHM1. The production of alpha-galactosidase was optimized by various physical culture conditions. Guar gum and yeast extract acted as the best carbon and nitrogen source, respectively for the production of alpha-galactosidase. The enzyme showed an optimum pH at 7.5 and was stable over a pH between 5 and 9. The enzyme was optimally active in 55degreesC and the enzyme was thermostable with half life of 120 minutes at 55 degrees C and lost their 90%, residual activity in 120 minutes at 60 degrees C. alpha-Galactosidase was strongly inhibited by Ag2, Cu2, and Hg2+ at 1mM concentration. The metal ions Fe2, Mn2+, and Mg2+ had no effect on alpha-galactosidase activity, Zn2+,Ni2+, and Ca2+ reduced the enzyme activity slightly. The B megaterium VHM1 enzyme treatment completely hydrolyzed flatulence-causing sugars of soymilk within one and half hour. 相似文献

Isolation and structural analysis of ajugose from Vigna mungo L 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The hexasaccharide ajugose, alpha-D-galactopyranosyl-(1-->6)-alpha-D-galactopyranosyl-(1-->6)-O-alpha-D-galactopyranosyl-(1-->6)-alpha-D-galactopyranosyl-(1-->6)-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl-(1<-->2)-beta-D-fructofuranoside, generally uncommon in legumes, was detected in the seeds of Vigna mungo L. by TLC and paper chromatography. Ajugose was then isolated by silica gel chromatography and its structure was established by acid and enzymatic hydrolysis, fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry and both one- and two-dimensional 1H and 13C NMR techniques. 相似文献
