What are the proteolytic enzymes of honey and what they do tell us? A fingerprint analysis by 2-D zymography of unifloral honeys.

Honey is a sweet and healthy food produced by honeybees (Apis mellifera L.) from flower nectars.Using bidimensional zymography, we have detected the, until now unrevealed, proteolytic activities present in row honey samples.The resulting zymograms were specific for each type of the four unifloral honey under study, Mystery Minis and enzymes were id

New Insights Into the Polar Lipid Composition of Extremely Halo(alkali)philic Euryarchaea From Hypersaline Lakes

We analyzed the polar membrane lipids of 13 strains of halo(alkali)philic euryarchaea from hypersaline lakes.Nine belong to the class Halobacteria, representing two functional groups: aerobic polysaccharide utilizers and sulfur-respiring anaerobes.The other four strains represent halo(alkali)philic methanogens from the class Methanomicrobia and a D

Basic study on promotion of thawing frozen soil by shock loading

The aim of study is to confirm a new technique that can crush the frozen soil and/or ice block using underwater shock wave generated by the underwater explosion of explosive.This technique can lead to the earlier sowing, which can have the larger harvest because the duration of sunshine increases.Especially, in Hokkaido prefecture, Japan, if the so
