Composition and properties of Opuntia ficus-indica mucilage

TL;DR: The mucilage isolated from Opuntia is shown to contain arabinose, galactose, Galacturonic acid, rhamnose and xylose It has a uronic acid content of ca 10% and a MW of 43 × 106.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mollicutes—Wall-less Bacteria with Internal Cytoskeletons

TL;DR: The structure and motility of the Mollicutes (Spiroplasma, Mycoplasma, and Acholeplasma) are briefly reviewed and are amenable to structural and geometrical analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biophysical properties of Opuntia ficus-indica mucilage

TL;DR: In this paper, a high MW polysaccharide which behaves as a polyelectrolyte was extracted from Opuntia ficus-indica and its UV spectrum was recorded.
Journal ArticleDOI

A bacterial linear motor: cellular and molecular organization of the contractile cytoskeleton of the helical bacterium Spiroplasma melliferum BC3.

TL;DR: The Mollicutes (Mycoplasma, Acholeplasma, and Spiroplasma) are the smallest, simplest and most primitive free‐living and self‐replicating known cells and the cellular and molecular organization of the cytoskeleton is determined.
Journal ArticleDOI

A pure-compact scheme for the streamfunction formulation of Navier-Stokes equations

TL;DR: In this article, a pure stream function formulation for the numerical simulation of the Navier-Stokes equations is introduced, which is based on the Laplacian of the stream function.
