Automatization of multistep sample preparation for microplastics monitoring in aquatic environments

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Microplastics (MP) have been found in every environmental compartment in urban and remote areas. Although their ubiquity is widely recognized, the lack of harmonized protocols for sampling, sample preparation, and particle identification/quantification hinders comparability among studies.

Chitin-Induced Airway Epithelial Cell Innate Immune Responses Are Inhibited by Carvacrol/Thymol. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Chitin is produced in large amounts by fungi, insects, and other organisms and has been implicated in the pathogenesis of asthma. Airway epithelial cells are in direct contact with environmental particles and serve as the first line of defense against ...

Sporothrix schenckii sensu stricto and Sporothrix brasiliensis Are Differentially Recognized by Human Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Sporothrix schenckii sensu stricto and S. brasiliensis are usually associated to sporotrichosis, a subcutaneous mycosis worldwide distributed. Comparative analyses between these two species indicate they contain genetic and physiological differences that

Chitin-binding capacity of rLdpA.

open access: yes
After incubation of serially diluted rLdpA (2.5–40 μg) with chitin (1 mg) in 100 μL of PBS, rLdpA in the supernatant (sup.) and sediment (sed.) was evaluated by SDS-PAGE. (TIF)

Composite Fibers of Hydroxypropyl Cellulose and Alginate Spun From Aqueous Solution: Crosslinking Effects on Water Absorption and Mechanical Properties

open access: yesPolymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
Alginate‐HPC composite fibers spun via CaCl2‐induced gelation process. Fiber diameter ranges from 100 to 200 μm after air drying. Higher alginate boosts water absorption in dried fibers. HPC selectively diffuses out when fibers are soaked in water. Crosslinking with hexamethylene diisocyanate improves mechanical strength.

Structural and Rheological Properties of Chitosan‐Biochar Composites Prepared With Waste Biomass‐Derived Biochar

open access: yesPolymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
Chitosan dispersions containing biochar derived from vine pruning residue showed increasing shear stress and improved thermal stability with loading. Flow behavior was described by the Bingham plastic model in all cases. These results support the valorization of agricultural waste in functional biopolymer formulations.
