Industrial Production of Cyclodextrins
We isolated three alkalophilic bacteria producing large amount of cyclodextrin glycosyltransferases (CGTases). Two of the enzymes, CGTases of Bacillus No. 38–2 and Bacillus No. 17–1 were purified by starch adsorp...

Spectroscopic behavior of biliprotein from Porphyra tenera upon denaturation with urea and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)
It is well known that the biliprotein accessory photosynthetic pigments phycoerythrin (PE) and phycocyanin (PC) have been extensively studied. Both PE and PC have been shown to be composed of two kinds of subu...

Some Rheological Considerations in Ischemic Cerebrovascular Disease — Blood Viscosity, RBC Aggregation, and RBC Zeta Potential
It is well known that blood viscosity is one of the most important determinants of cerebral blood flow (CBF) in normal and diseased states. It is also well recognized that blood viscosity is mainly influenced ...
