Phallus impudicus loaded with γ-Fe2O3 as solid phase bioextractor for the preconcentrations of Zn(II) and Cr(III) from water and food samples

We investigated the application of fungus Phallus impudicus loaded γ-Fe₂O₃ nanoparticles as a biosorbent for magnetic solid phase extractions of trace levels of Zn(II) and Cr(III) ions from natural samples before their measurements by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry. The characterization of magnetized P. impudicus was performed using the scanning electron microscope, the energy dispersive X-ray and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Important experimental factors were investigated. The experimental results fitted well to the Langmuir adsorption model and pseudo-second order kinetic model. Limit of detections of targeted ions by magnetic solid phase extraction method based on use of P. impudicus were found as 10.5 ngL⁻¹ and 12.6 ngL⁻¹ respectively for Cr(III) and Zn(II). The sorption capacities of the biosorbent were 22.8 mgg⁻¹ for Cr(III) and 25.6 mgg⁻¹ for Zn(II). The preconcentration factors were achieved as 100 for both of ions. RSDs for inter- and intraday precisions were found as lower than 2.0% and 2.1% respectively for both of targeted ions. The accuracy of the recommended process was tested by recovery measurements on the certificated reference materials and successfully applied for quantification recoveries of Cr(III) and Zn(II) ions from water and food samples.     

A rapid procedure for the construction of PCR cDNA libraries from small amounts of plant tissue

We describe a general method for the preparation of λZAP II cDNA libraries from very small amounts (<50 mg) of plant tissue. We have achieved this by combining an efficient method for RNA extraction with a modified PCR protocol for the synthesis and amplification of cDNA. Using this protocol we have found it possible to generate cDNA libraries containing more than 10⁶ clones from as little as 1 μg of total RNA.     

A rapid and efficient method for the extraction of total DNA from the sweet potato and its related species

Secondary metabolites, latex/mucilagenous secretions, polysaccharides, and proteins interfere with the extraction of high-quality, restrictable total cellular DNA from sweet potato [Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lamk.] and related species. A method for the DNA extraction is described which overcomes these problems.

A rapid method for extraction of cotton (Gossypium spp.) genomic DNA suitable for RFLP or PCR analysis

Extraction of high-quality genomic DNA fromGossypium (cotton) species is difficult due to high levels of polysaccharide, oxidizable quinones, and other interfering substances. We describe a procedure that consistently permits isolation of cotton genomic DNA of satisfactory size and quality for RFLP and PCR analysis, as well as for most routine cloning applications. Several antioxidants, phenol-binding reagents, and phenol oxidase inhibitors are used throughout the procedure, and most polysaccharides are eliminated early in the procedure by isolation of nuclei.     

Evaluation of polysulfone hollow fibres and ceramic suction samplers as devices for the in situ extraction of soil solution

An investigation was carried out to assess the potential of using polysulfone hollow fibres for the extraction of soil solution. In comparison to ceramic suction samplers the fibres were shown to contain very low levels of potential contaminants and a low exchange capacity. Carry over between individual samples was negligible permitting the accurate monitoring of temporal changes in solution chemistry. Their flexible and root sized nature makes them ideal for sampling small soil volumes. Some concern however remains about retention of colloidal Fe at the fibre interface. When comparing the soil solution of samples extracted with polysulfone fibres with those extracted by ceramic suction samplers, no significant differences in solute concentrations were observed. No sample contamination resulting from dissolution of Al or Si from the ceramic cup was detected. Analysis of soil solutions collected over a number of extractions, and during and after a rainfall event showed concentrations of elements in solution to remain relatively constant with time.     

Occurrence of a novel group of hemagglutinins extractable by Pronase treatment in marine algae

Nine species of marine algae have been assessed for the presence of novel hemagglutinins not extractable with buffer, unless the algal tissue was pretreated with Pronase. All species examined contained hemagglutinins, indicating the existence of a novel group of hemagglutinins which differed from those reported previously in marine algae.     

Partitioning behavior and enrichment of proteins with reversed micellar extraction: I. forward extraction of proteins from aqueous to reversed micellar phase

Protein extractions using aerosol OT (AOT)-isooctane reverse micelle solutions have been studied to explore the potential for separating and enriching proteins with the reversed micellar extraction. The effects of pH, ionic strength, and different cations of chlorides in a bulk aqueous phase and of AOT concentration in an organic phase on the partitioning of lysozyme and myoglobin and the solubilization of water are presented in detail. The extraction of lysozyme was affected by the concentration of potassium or barium but was almost independent of that of sodium or calcium, whose ionic diameter is smaller than that of potassium and barium. For the extraction of myoglobin, however, the effect of barium concentration was not appreciable. Lysozyme could be enriched into the reversed micellar phase up to 30 times the aqueous feed concentration. (c) 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
