A capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) method with indirect UV detection was developed to simultaneously separate inorganic and organic arsenic compounds including arsenite (iAsIII), arsenate (iAsV), monomethylarsonate and dimethylarsenic acid (DMAV). 2,6-Pyridinedicarboxylic acid (PDC) and n-hexadecyltrimethylammonium hydroxide (CTAOH) were selected to compose a background electrolyte (BGE), where PDC was used as chromophore and CTAOH functioned as electroosmotic flow (EOF) modifier to reduce/eliminate EOF. The choice of detection wavelength, the optimization of BGE pH, and effects of applied electric field strength and temperature on separation were further investigated. The limits of detection for the targeted analytes were between 0.19 and 0.23 ppm as molecule. Good linearity of more than three orders of magnitude was obtained. Repeatability of migration times and peaks areas were 0.8-1.7 and 3.4-6.9% R.S.D.; whereas reproducibility were 1.2-2.2 and 3.6-7.1% R.S.D., respectively. The established CZE method was then applied to analyze the alkali extracts of realgar (As2S2) and orpiment (As2S3). The main components in both alkali extracts were identified to be iAsIII and iAsV.
Reversed-phase HPLC coupled to the atmospheric pressure ionization-electrospray ionization (API-ESI) MS was used for microcystin-LR detection and quantitation in samples of dried Microcystis aeruginosa cells. An alkaline linear gradient (20 mmol/l ammonium hydroxide-acetonitrile, pH 9.7) was used for elution of the toxic peptides. Limit of detection was 1 microg/ml (20 ng per injection) in the scan mode of MS and 0.1 microg/ml (2 ng per injection) in the case of selective ion monitoring.
A novel strain of Bacillus sphaericus JS1 producing thermostable alkaline carboxymethyl cellulase (CMCase; endo-1,4-beta-glucanase, E.C. 3.2.1.4) was isolated from soil using Horikoshi medium at pH 9.5. CMCase was purified 192-fold by (NH(4))(2)SO(4) precipitation, ion exchange and gel filtration chromatography, with an overall recovery of 23%. The CMCase is a multimeric protein with a molecular weight estimated by native-PAGE of 183 kDa. Using SDS-PAGE a single band is found at 42 kDa. This suggests presence of four homogeneous polypeptides, which would differentiate this enzyme from other known alkaline cellulases. The activity of the enzyme was significantly inhibited by bivalent cations (Fe(3+) and Hg(2+), 1.0 mM each) and activated by Co(2+), K(+) and Na(+). The purified enzyme revealed the products of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) hydrolysis to be CM glucose, cellobiose and cellotriose. Thermostability, pH stability, good hydrolytic capability, and stability in the presence of detergents, surfactants, chelators and commercial proteases make this enzyme potentially useful in laundry detergents.
