Some Microbiological And Chemical Properties Of Pastırma Produced Using Potassium Nitrate And Starter Culture, Muhammet İrfan Aksu, Mükerrem Kaya

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

In this study, pastırma samples were produced using potassium nitrate and commercial starter culture (Staphylococcus carnosus + Lactobacillus pentosus). The meat for pastırma was dry cured with NaCl, glucose and saccarose together with KNO_3. The use of starter culture in pastırma production had a significant effect on counts of total aerobic mesophilic bacteria, Micrococcus/Staphylococcus and lactic acid bacteria. The maximum counts of microorganisms were found in the 2^{nd} stage of the drying process. There was no significant difference between yeast mould counts in control and starter added samples. Nitrite and nitrate residues were lower in commercial starter added samples than …

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

In this study, the lethal chlorine concentrations (LC) and residual chlorine concentrations in water for a fouling organism, the pearl oyster Pinctada radiata (Leach, 1814) [Avicula], were investigated during May 1999-April 2000. The study was carried out under laboratory conditions at 20ºC. Acute toxicity tests were conducted under a flow through system by using continuous application of chlorine according to bioassay test methods. Test solutions were made by using an appropriate amount of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl^{-}). According to the results, the 24h-LC_{50} was 1.75 mgl^{-1} and the residual chlorine was 0.47 mgl^{-1} for LC_{50} of Pinctada radiata.

Introduction Of The Precise Ts Measurement For Fisheries Acoustics, Kouichi Sawada, Yoshimi Takao, Yoichi Miyanohana, H. Tuncay Kinacigi̇l Jan 2002

Introduction Of The Precise Ts Measurement For Fisheries Acoustics, Kouichi Sawada, Yoshimi Takao, Yoichi Miyanohana, H. Tuncay Kinacigi̇l

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

Two methods to measure target strength (TS) are introduced and compared with each other. One is the suspension method, and the other is the split-beam method. Each of them is representative of control and in situ methods, respectively. In addition, a morphological investigation of a swimbladder in a pressure tank, and the development of an instrumented package of acoustic and optical systems, are also introduced. The former is to reveal the degree of TS variation by the vertical movement of fish, and the latter is to obtain precise TS and fish behavior by the echo trace analysis method.

Expression Of Subunits Of Ampa-Type (Ionotropic) Glutamate Receptors In The Rat Spinal Cord, Mümtaz Nazli, Zafer Soygüder, Ahmet Çarhan Jan 2002

Expression Of Subunits Of Ampa-Type (Ionotropic) Glutamate Receptors In The Rat Spinal Cord, Mümtaz Nazli, Zafer Soygüder, Ahmet Çarhan

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

The distribution of ionotropic glutamate receptor subunits (GluR1-4), considered a-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isaxole propionic acid type (AMPA-type), was investigated in the rat spinal cord by immunocytochemistry. Different distributions of the AMPA-type glutamate receptor subunits were observed in the spinal cord. Immunolabelling with antibodies to both GluR1 and GluR2/3 revealed intensive staining in the dorsal horn, while staining for GluR2/3 and GluR4 revealed dense motor neurones in the ventral horn. These results suggest that in the rat spinal cord AMPA-type glutamate receptors vary in composition according to the region where they are expressed.

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

Carbonic anhydrase (CA) (carbonate hydrolyase: E. C. 4.2.1.1) from bovine lung was purified by a new method and characterized. The purification level was 4306-fold. The optimum temperature for maximum enzyme activity was 37.5°C. The optimum pH was 7.4, varying between 3.5 and 10.0. SDS-polyacryamide gel electrophoresis (3-10% discontinuous SDS-PAGE) showed two distinct bands for CA-IV. The molecular weights of the enzymes were found to be approximately 54.000 and 29.000, respectively. V_{max} and K_{M} values were calculated with p-nitrophenyl acetate as substrate (166.7 µmol/L*min, 5.59*10_{-2} M, respectively). Changes in enzyme activity were determined in the presence of some chemicals: sulfanilamide, NaN_3, …

Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences

Carbohydrate compositions of apolipoprotein E (apo E) isolated from rat serum very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) and intermediate density lipoproteins (IDL) + low density lipoproteins (LDL) were analyzed and compared. Rat serum VLDL and IDL+LDL were isolated by a discontinuous density gradient ultracentrifugation for 7.9x107g.min. Following delipidization, apolipoproteins were subjected to sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) analysis. Apo E polypeptides were eluted by diffusion in 100 mM PBS buffer (pH 7) containing 0.05% SDS. Sugars were derivatized with 1-phenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone (PMP) and subjected to high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis. N-acetylneuraminic acids of apo E were derivatized with 4,5-methylenedioxy-1,2-phenylene-diamine dihydrochloride …
