Hydrolysis of grape monoterpenyl glycosides by Candida molischiana and Candida wickerhamii β-glucosidases

The exocellular β-glucosidases of Candida molischiana and Candida wickerhamii are able to hydrolyse geranyl, neryl, citronellyl, linalyl and α-terpinyl-β-D -glucopyranosides. The nature of the aglycone residue greatly affects the rate of hydrolysis. Glucosides with a tertiary alcohol as aglycone residue are more slowly hydrolysed than those with a primary alcohol. The β-glucosidase from C molischiana is also able to hydrolse α-L-arabinofuranosides. This results in the release of monoterpenols from a glycoside extract from grape juice.

The contributions of co-occurring forms of classroom discourse and academic activities to curriculum events and instruction.

How do academic activities and discourse work together in classrooms to shape learning and instruction? This complex question was answered in a case study of underachieving students in a Grade 8 history class. Data were collected through class observation and interviews with experienced teachers and students in 2 classrooms. Teachers taught history content and learning strategies. Theories of social constructivism predict that the discourse arising before, during, and after activities can explain variability in students' social and academic participation in curriculum events, as can the nature of the instructional approach students experience when teachers hold similar goals. Patterns of co-occurring forms of discourse and activities across sequences of lesson events provided a useful window into interactions between learning and instruction.

Synthesis and characterisation of stimuli-responsive poly(N,N′-diethylacrylamide) hydrogels

Stimuli-responsive poly(N,N′-diethylacrylamide) gels were prepared by free radical polymerisation in aqueous solution, using N,N-methylenebisacrylamide as crosslinking agent. The gels were compared with the corresponding poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-based gels. In particular, the swelling ratio of both gel types including the effect of the crosslinker content, their swelling and deswelling kinetics, their permeability and finally their drug (insulin) storage and controlled release ability were compared. In spite of the similarity in the monomer/crosslinker ratio, the deswelling kinetics and the critical temperatures (ca. 30-32 °C in pure water), some differences could be observed. Compared to poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-based gels, poly(N,N′-diethylacrylamide)-based gels show a broader phase transition temperature interval, a more pronounced dependency of the swelling ratio on the crosslinker content, slower reswelling kinetics, a higher ingress percentage for dextran standards ranging from 5 to 70 kD, but lower ingress percentages for proteins (BSA, insulin) and much faster drug (insulin) release kinetics. While a non-linear release kinetic was observed in the case of the poly(N-isopropylacraylamide)-based gels both in water and in PBS (phosphate buffered saline), this was not the case for the poly(N,N′-diethylacrylamide)-based gels.     

Preparation and characterization of chitosan‐based dispersions

Complexation of chitosan in aqueous solutions by low molecular weight electrolytes is one of the simplest methods for the preparation of aqueous chitosan dispersions. In this work, the influence of storage time, sulfate concentration, method of preparation and surfactant content on some properties of the resultant chitosan dispersions (turbidity, viscosity and zeta potential) was analyzed. Turbidimetry was adequate to monitor the formation of particles, while viscometry was suitable to monitor changes in the dispersing phase. An analysis of the properties of these systems, mainly in terms of particle–particle and macromolecule–macromolecule interactions was carried out. Copyright © 2004 Society of Chemical Industry
