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
Epiphanies of well-known and newly discovered macromolecular carbohydrates - A review.
Priscilla Barbosa Sales de Albuquerque,Weslley Felix de Oliveira,Priscila Marcelino dos Santos Silva,Maria Tereza dos Santos Correia,John F. Kennedy,Luana Cassandra Breitenbach Barroso Coelho +5 more
TL;DR: This review provides a summary of recent developments in biotechnology and biomedical treatments using well-established and newly described carbohydrates.
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
Jasbir S. Sandhu,John F. Kennedy +1 more
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
Tseaa Shambe,John F. Kennedy +1 more
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.
