Chalcocite Oxidation and Coupled Carbon Dioxide Fixation by Thiobacillus ferrooxidans   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Nielsen AM  Beck JV 《Science (New York, N.Y.)》1972,175(4026):1124-1126

The reaction of cell suspensions of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans with pulverized chalcocite (Cu(2)S) in a Warburg manometric apparatus resulted in oxygen uptake accompanied by increased solubilization of copper and fixation of carbon dioxide. Since the only detectable oxidized products were cupric ions and the more oxidized form of the sulfide mineral, that is, digenite or covellite, the apparent source of energy for the carbon dioxide fixation was provided by the oxidation of the cuprous copper of the chalcocite.  相似文献

The martian subsurface has been probed to kilometer depths by the Mars Advanced Radar for Subsurface and Ionospheric Sounding instrument aboard the Mars Express orbiter. Signals penetrate the polar layered deposits, probably imaging the base of the deposits. Data from the northern lowlands of Chryse Planitia have revealed a shallowly buried quasi-circular structure about 250 kilometers in diameter that is interpreted to be an impact basin. In addition, a planar reflector associated with the basin structure may indicate the presence of a low-loss deposit that is more than 1 kilometer thick.  相似文献

Desperately seeking diarrhoea: outbreak of haemolytic uraemic syndrome caused by emerging sorbitol-fermenting shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli O157:H-, Germany, 2009     

Nielsen S  Frank C  Fruth A  Spode A  Prager R  Graff A  Plenge-Bönig A  Loos S  Lütgehetmann M  Kemper MJ  Müller-Wiefel DE  Werber D 《Zoonoses and public health》2011,58(8):567-572

Infection with sorbitol-fermenting Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli O157:H- (sf STEC O157:H-) is rare, but emerging in Europe. The pathogen is typically isolated from paediatric patients with life-threatening haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS). It is unclear whether this observation primarily reflects the pathogen's virulence or its complex laboratory diagnosis, not routinely conducted in diarrhoeal patients. In summer 2009, four boys living in the same suburb in Germany developed diarrhoea-associated HUS: three were infected by sf STEC O157:H- and one died. We conducted two analytical epidemiological studies, an extensive search for diarrhoeal cases in potentially exposed groups, and an environmental investigation. Outbreak cases were residents of the suburb diagnosed with HUS, sf STEC O157:H- infection, or both between 24 July 2009 and 25 August 2009. Overall, we ascertained eight cases with a median age of 4 years (range: from 8 months to 9 years). Stool screening of 220 persons led to the identification of only four additional cases: two asymptomatic carriers and two diarrhoeal cases. HUS was strongly associated with visiting a local playground in July, particularly on 16th July (odds ratio = 42.7, P = 0.002). No other commonality, including food, was identified, and all environmental samples (n = 24) were negative. In this localized non-foodborne outbreak, the place of likely infection was a local playground. Sf STEC O157:H- infection apparently limits itself rarely to diarrhoeal illness and progresses frequently to HUS. Therefore, detection of and response to this hypervirulent pathogen primarily relies on HUS surveillance.  相似文献

Determination of odor active aroma compounds in freshly cut leek (Allium ampeloprasum Var. bulga) and in long-term stored frozen unblanched and blanched leek slices by gas chromatography olfactometry analysis     

Nielsen GS  Poll L 《Journal of agricultural and food chemistry》2004,52(6):1642-1646

The odor active compounds in freshly cut leek slices and in blanched and unblanched leek slices stored for 12 months were investigated by a detection frequency method. Fifteen judges were evaluating the three samples randomized. The most important aroma compounds in the freshly cut leek slices were dipropyl disulfide, methyl propenyl disulfide, pentanal, decanal, and propyl propenyl disulfide in order of priority. When stored frozen and unblanched for 12 months, the aroma composition changed and the most important compounds became pentanal, decanal, 2,5-dimethyl furan, unknown compound I, and dipropyl disulfide. Blanching before freezing prevented to some degree these changes but also reduced the perceived intensity of the aroma compounds. The most important aroma compounds in the blanched sample were dipropyl disulfide, unknown compound I, pentanal, 2,5-dimethyl furan, and propyl propenyl disulfide.  相似文献   

Protein digestibility-corrected amino acid scores for bean and bean-rice infant weaning food products     

Kannan S  Nielsen SS  Mason AC 《Journal of agricultural and food chemistry》2001,49(10):5070-5074

Vegetable proteins are an integral part of infant weaning diets in Latin America. Protein quality in plant-based products, however, is constrained by amino acid composition and intrinsically present antinutritional factors. The goal of this study was to improve bean protein quality by utilizing fermentation and germination processing. The objectives were to determine if protein quality, as measured by Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) approved True Protein Digestibility (TPD) and Protein Digestibility-Corrected Amino Acid Scores (PDCAAS), of formulated bean-based weaning products could be improved upon fermentation and germination and if protein quality could be further improved when processed beans were combined with cooked rice. Results showed that the highest TPD and PDCAAS values were obtained for cooked germinated beans combined with rice. The TPD values for products ranged from 80 to 91%, and the PDCAAS values were 0.38-0.51. There was no significant increase (P < 0.05) of either TPD or PDCAAS values upon fermentation. Germination increased TPD of cooked bean products; this increase was not, however, accompanied by an increase in PDCAAS. When combined with rice, the PDCAAS values for all bean products improved significantly, thus supporting the concept of cereal-legume complementation. In conclusion, this study showed the range of PDCAAS in processed black bean and bean-rice infant weaning food products. The potential for incorporation of these products into the diets of weaning age Latin American children would, however, be confirmed only after validation with growth or metabolic balance studies in human infants.  相似文献   

Ascorbic acid and ascorbic acid 6-palmitate induced oxidation in egg yolk dispersions     

Nielsen JH  Kristiansen GH  Andersen HJ 《Journal of agricultural and food chemistry》2000,48(5):1564-1568

The oxidation in aqueous dispersions of egg yolk powder and the influence of addition of the proposed antioxidants ascorbic acid and ascorbic acid 6-palmitate indicate that both ascorbic acid and ascorbic acid 6-palmitate propagated the oxidation of egg yolk powder dispersions. Ascorbic acid 6-palmitate was found to be more prooxidative than ascorbic acid. Moreover, it was found that addition of ascorbic acid or ascorbic acid 6-palmitate gave rise to an increase in the amount of free iron Fe(II) in the egg yolk dispersions. It is proposed that ascorbic acid and ascorbic acid 6-palmitate react with the phosvitin-Fe(III) complex found in egg yolk and release Fe(II), which subsequently propagates lipid oxidation. It appears that less oxidation occurs in egg yolk dispersions exposed to high concentrations of peroxy radicals with added ascorbic acid than egg yolk dispersions with added ascorbic acid without exposure to peroxy radicals.  相似文献
