Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleRemediation of Methyl Tert-Butyl Ether (MTBE) Contaminated Water by Using In situ Catalytic and Biological Combined TechniquesA. Nikpay, H. Kazemian, M. SadeghiThe hydrolysis reaction of Methyl Tert-Butyl Ether (MTBE) into biodegradable products was studied on as-synthesized and commercial H-MFI zeolites. The effect of synthesis procedure and SiO2/Al2O3 ratio was investigated. The results obtained were indicated that H-MFI zeolites were effective in MTBE hydrolysis and increasing of the Si/Al ratio promotes the hydrolysis reaction. The amount of produced TBA was always lower … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,634 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMethyltert-butyl Ether (MTBE) Degradation by a Microbial ConsortiumS. B. Mortazavi, A. Nikpey, A. Rezaee et al.Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) is added to reformulated gasoline to meet the 1990 Clean Air Act directives. Widespread use of MTBE in gasoline has resulted in groundwater contamination. Because of its undesirable effects on drinking water and ecologically harmful effects, MTBE removal has become a public health and environmental concern. In this study, we have isolated a mixed bacterial culture … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,994 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsVirtual Screening of CPP Conjugated Peptide as QcrB BCC Protein Inhibitors of Mycobacterium tuberculosis BacteriaMuhammad Ihsan Muttaqin, Manaman Huang, Usman Sumo Friend TambunanTuberculosis is a global leading cause of death, just below COVID-19 and ranked above HIV. This disease is caused by a pathogen called Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which spreads easily through the air and is known to remain latent in most people's bodies, about a quarter of the world's population. The current problems with TB also include two main concerns: The official … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 3 · 14 Mar 2024 · 5,518 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsBiological Activity of Methyl tert-butyl Ether in Relation to Soil Microorganisms has a Negative Environmental ImpactGholam H.S. BonjarFuel oxygenates are added to gasoline to enhance combustion efficiency of automobiles and reduce air pollution. Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) is the most commonly used oxygenate because of its low cost, high-octane level and ease of blending with gasoline. However, due to its water solubility, high mobility and low biodegradability it leaches in soil subsurface at the speed of groundwater. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,661 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsApplication of the Ozonation Pre-treatment for Biodegradation of Aqueous Solutions of Methyltert-Butyl EtherM. Sadeghi, A. Mesdaghinia, A. Badkoubi et al.The effectiveness of ozone treatment for improving the biodegradability of recalcitrant pollutants has been proved by investigating the ozonation reaction of Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) a bioresistant gasoline oxygenate. Laboratory scale experiments have been carried out, at room temperature, by bubbling, for 120 min, ozonated air (3.4 ppm min-1 ) into 3 liter of an alkaline (pH=11.5) aqueous solution (100 … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,463 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of the Utility of MPT64, Drug Susceptibility Testing and Tuberculosis/Nontuberculous Mycobacteria Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction for Tuberculosis Diagnosis and Efficiency Compared with Traditional CultureHo Keun Choi, Ga Yeon Kim, Tae Soung Kim, Jae Kyung KimDefining the molecular mechanisms underlying the dormant state of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) is essential for developing more effective treatments for tuberculosis (TB) infection. We investigated the positivity and resistance rates of TB tests on 6,174 samples referred to a single hospital. Of these, 342 cases (5.5%) were confirmed as positive by acid-fast bacilli staining, 243 cases (71.1%) were detected as … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 20, Issue 4 · 5 Dec 2024 · 4,206 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStrategies of Tuberculosis–HIV Vaccines Design using Immunoinformatic ApproachAni Fatonah, Ig. Satrio Wicaksono, Usman Sumo Friend TambunanTuberculosis is amongst the highest cause death worldwide. According to WHO, an estimated of more than a million people fell ill with Tuberculosis (TB) in 2016. The resistances of the M. tuberculosis (MTb) bacteria make drugs, not that useful in battle with TB. Vaccination is a better choice to avoid the worst cases of TB. The resistance possessed by MTb … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 2 · 10 May 2019 · 7,925 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGenomic Signature of Respiratory Microbes on Human Scalp EpitheliaBhola Nath Paul, Vani Mishra, Jasmeet Kaur Chhabra, Divyani PaulDespite overlap between habitats occupied by diverse Airborne Respiratory Microbes (ARM), the airway epithelium is known for respiratory microbe infections, human scalp epithelium is undocumented. Analogous to airways epithelium, the scalp epithelium is vulnerable to infection by dormant variants of sensitive microbes that underlie many chronic and relapsing diseases, difficult to eradicate by conventional antibiotics and challenged our ability to … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 11 Sep 2015 · 7,074 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign and Synthesis of Diaminotriazines as Anti-Tuberculosis DHFR InhibitorsArundhati C Lele, Archana Raju, M.K. Ray et al.A series of novel 2,4 diamino-s-triazine was designed as potential Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) Dihydro folate reductase inhibitors. The synthesized compounds were evaluated in whole cells by employing Resazurin Microtitre Plate Assay (REMA) against Mtb H37Rv, using known DHFR inhibitors Methotrexate and Trimethoprim as standard drugs. The most active compound in the whole cell assay was selected for DHFR enzyme assay … …Current Research in Drug Discovery, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 26 Jan 2015 · 14,716 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA SHORT INTERFERING RNA MOLECULAR BEACON FOR THE ATTENUATION OF MYCOBACTERIAL INFECTIONRemo George, Kathy Nugent, Norman Bolus et al.The ability of the pathogen Mycobacterium Tuberculosis (MTB) to invade and survive within macrophages of granulomas is attributed to the product of the Mammalian Cell Entry (MCE) operon whose gene, mce4A, encodes a cholesterol transporter that transports host lipids into the bacterium that allows the bacterium to survive during chronic infection. Here, we proposed and tested the hypothesis that a … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 4 Mar 2014 · 7,774 accessesView PDFCite
