Journal ArticleDOI

Active Immobilized Antibiotics Based on Metal Hydroxides

TL;DR: The water-insoluble hydroxides of zirconium, titanium, and tin have been used to prepare insoluble derivatives of a cyclic peptide antibiotic by a facile chelation process, and these derivatives reflected the antibacterial activities of the parent compounds.
Journal ArticleDOI

Urease immobilization on an alkylamine derivative of titanium (IV)‐porous silica: Kinetics and operational stability

TL;DR: In this paper, a covalent bond immobilization method on titanium (IV) chloride activated silica supports was used for routine determination of urea, and several parameters were studied in order to optimize the residual activity upon immobilization and during operation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular cloning of Bacillus polymyxa (1→4)-β-d-xylanase gene in Escherichia coli

TL;DR: Escherichia coli has been transformed with recombinant plasmids carrying DNA from Bacillus polymyxa, and this work holds promise for the large-scale production of xylanases as a new route to the economic and usable degradation of xylans.
Journal ArticleDOI

Acid and enzymic hydrolysis of chaotropically pretreated millet stalk, acha and rice straws and conversion of the products to ethanol

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used acid and enzyme hydrolyses and chaotropic ions to solubilize some common but valuable sources of cellulose which are somewhat inaccessible to useful conventional degradative reagents/systems.
