利用两种微生物的协同作用进行柴油的深度脱硫

红串红球菌通过4S途径降解二苯并噻吩(DBT)产生 和2-羟基联苯(2-HBP). 和2-HBP的存在对红串红球菌的进一步脱硫有抑制作用, 加入脱 和2-HBP 的菌株可以解除 和2-HBP对红串红球菌脱硫反应的抑制, 使该反应继续向生成产物的方向移动, 从而提高其脱硫率. 在脱硫菌和专一性降解 的水解好氧菌(代号: PYS)的协同作用下可以使高浓度的DBT从1.142 mmol/L降到0.0468 mmol/L, 降解率达到95.9%, 比没有加PYS时提高32%的脱除率. 在油水比为1∶9的条件下, 可以将柴油中的硫从554 mg/mL降到306 mg/mL, 降解率达到44.8%.     

Hydrolysis and Enantiodiscrimination of (R)- and (S)-Oxazepam Hemisuccinate by Methylated β-Cyclodextrins: An NMR Investigation

Partially and exhaustively methylated β-cyclodextrins [(2-methyl)-β-CD (MCD), heptakis-(2,6-di-O-methyl)-β-CD (DIMEB), and heptakis-(2,3,6-tri-O-methyl)-β-CD (TRIMEB)] have been compared in the hydrolysis and enantiodiscrimination of benzodiazepine derivative (R)- or (S)-oxazepam hemisuccinate (OXEMIS), using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy as an investigation tool. After 6 h, MCD induced an 11% hydrolysis of OXEMIS, remarkably lower in comparison with underivatized β-CD (48%), whereas no hydrolysis was detected in the presence of DIMEB or TRIMEB after 24 h. DIMEB showed greater ability to differentiate OXEMIS enantiomers in comparison to TRIMEB, by contrast MCD did not produce any splitting of racemic OXEMIS resonances. Both enantiomers of OXEMIS underwent deep inclusion of their phenyl pendant into cyclodextrins cavities from their wider rims, but tighter complexes were formed by DIMEB with respect to TRIMEB.     

Analytical and semi‐preparative enantioresolution of (RS)‐ketorolac from pharmaceutical formulation and in human plasma by HPLC

An efficient, simple, validated, analytical and semi‐preparative HPLC method has been developed for direct enantioresolution of (RS)‐Ketorolac (Ket) using monochloro‐methylated derivatives of cellulose and amylose, i.e. cellulose (tris‐3‐chloro‐4‐methylphenylcarbamate) and amylose (tris‐5‐chloro‐2‐methylphenylcarbamate) as chiral stationary phases (CSPs) with photo diode array detection at 320 nm. Enantioresolution was carried out in samples of human plasma spiked with (RS)‐Ket under normal and reversed‐phase elution modes with suitable mobile phase compositions. The effect of nature of alcohols (MeOH, EtOH, PrOH and n‐BuOH) and other solvents (MeCN and MeOH) as organic modifiers in the mobile phase was investigated on the separation performance of two CSPs in terms of retention and separation of enantiomers. The best resolution was observed on cellulose‐based CSP using EtOH, while using 2‐PrOH (15%) and amylose‐based CSP obtained the highest retention. Under reversed‐phase elution mode the best enantioseparation was observed using 30% MeCN with ammonium formate buffer. The elution order of enantiomers was ascertained by determining specific rotations. The limit of detection and quantitation values were 5 and 15.5 ng/mL for each enantiomer of (RS)‐Ket, respectively.

Direct Surface‐Enhanced Raman Scattering Analysis of DNA Duplexes

The exploration of the genetic information carried by DNA has become a major scientific challenge. Routine DNA analysis, such as PCR, still suffers from important intrinsic limitations. Surface‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has emerged as an outstanding opportunity for the development of DNA analysis, but its application to duplexes (dsDNA) has been largely hampered by reproducibility and/or sensitivity issues. A simple strategy is presented to perform ultrasensitive direct label‐free analysis of unmodified dsDNA with the means of SERS by using positively charged silver colloids. Electrostatic adhesion of DNA promotes nanoparticle aggregation into stable clusters yielding intense and reproducible SERS spectra at nanogram level. As potential applications, we report the quantitative recognition of hybridization events as well as the first examples of SERS recognition of single base mismatches and base methylations (5‐methylated cytosine and N6‐methylated Adenine) in duplexes.     

Rapid Electrochemical Assessment of Tumor Suppressor Gene Methylations in Raw Human Serum and Tumor Cells and Tissues Using Immunomagnetic Beads and Selective DNA Hybridization

We report a rapid and sensitive electrochemical strategy for the detection of gene‐specific 5‐methylcytosine DNA methylation. Magnetic beads (MBs) modified with an antibody for 5‐methylcytosines (5‐mC) are used for the capture of any 5‐mC methylated single‐stranded (ss)DNA sequence. A flanking region next to the 5‐mCs of the captured methylated ssDNA is recognized by hybridization with a synthetic biotinylated DNA sequence. Amperometric transduction at disposable screen‐printed carbon electrodes (SPCEs) is employed. The developed biosensor has a dynamic range from 3.9 to 500 pm and a limit of detection of 1.2 pm for the methylated synthetic sequence of the tumor suppressor gene O‐6‐methylguanine‐DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) promoter region. The method is applied in the 45‐min analysis of specific methylation in the MGMT promoter region directly in raw spiked human serum samples and in genomic DNA extracted from U‐87 glioblastoma cells and paraffin‐embedded brain tumor tissues without any amplification and pretreatment step.
