Purification And Immunological Reactivity Of Commercial Microbial Milk Clotting Enzyme Preparations, Chima I. Osuala May 1990

Purification And Immunological Reactivity Of Commercial Microbial Milk Clotting Enzyme Preparations, Chima I. Osuala

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Commercial microbial milk clotting enzyme preparations were purified by immunoaffinity chromatography using purified antibody covalently coupled to porous glass beads as the column matrix. Commercial enzyme preparation diluted in 1 mM sodium acetate buffer at pH 5.0 was then biospecifically adsorbed to the column matrix by end-over-end mixing of the glass-antibody complex in the enzyme solution for 12 h at 5°C. The antibody bound enzyme adsorbed glass beads were soaked in .2 M glycine or ethanolarnine at pH 7.0 to block uncoupled reactive sites on the matrix. Following this, the column was washed with 1 mM sodium acetate …


Comparison Of Methods For Purification Of Dna From Rice, Theresa L. Hines, Neela R. Patel, Daoud Abu-Diab, Michael Sikes, Alvan K. Karlin Jan 1990

Comparison Of Methods For Purification Of Dna From Rice, Theresa L. Hines, Neela R. Patel, Daoud Abu-Diab, Michael Sikes, Alvan K. Karlin

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

Three techniques were employed to purify genomic DNA from deomstic rice (Oryza sativa L). Following extraction, the DNA was electrophoresed through agarose to determine its integrity. We determined that spooling yielded better quality, through lower quantity DNA than either of the other two techniques.


Screening Rice (Oryza Sativa L.) Genotypes For Drought Tolerance Under Field Conditions, Mazo Price, Md. Jalaluddin, R. H. Dilday Jan 1990

Screening Rice (Oryza Sativa L.) Genotypes For Drought Tolerance Under Field Conditions, Mazo Price, Md. Jalaluddin, R. H. Dilday

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

We evaluated the root pulling resistance (RPR) technique developed at the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) for transplanted rice (Oryza sativa L.) to determine its applicability for assessing the drought tolerance of direct seeded rice. Experiments were conducted in 1988 and 1989 at the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff Agricultural Research Farm. Fifty genotypes from four countries were grown with and without irrigation. The genotypes identified as drought tolerant germplasm by the RPR method in both years were significantly correlated. In both 1988 and 1 989, RPR was directly related to maximum root length, root number, and root dry …
