Applications in Plant Sciences, 2023 AbstractCetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)–based methods are widely used to isolate DNA from plant tissues, but the unique chemical composition of secondary metabolites among plant species has necessitated optimization. Research articles often cite a “modified” CTAB protocol without explicitly stating how the protocol had been altered, creating non ...

Voltammetric determination of the critical micellar concentration of surfactants by using a boron doped diamond anode [PDF]
, 2010 The electrochemistry of three surfactants has been studied by voltammetry at boron doped diamond (BDD) electrode in sodium sulphate solutions. The electrochemical behaviour of these surfactants is characterized by an oxidation signal (peak or wave ...

How endo- is endo-?: surface sterilization of delicate samples: a Bryopsis (Bryopsidales, Chlorophyta) case study [PDF]
, 2010 In the search for endosymbiotic bacteria, elimination of ectosymbionts is a key point of attention. Commonly, the surface of the host itself or the symbiotic structures are sterilized with aggressive substances such as chlorine or mercury derivatives ...

Smart worm-like micelles responsive to CO₂/N₂ and light dual stimuli [PDF]
, 2017 CO₂/N₂ and light dual stimuli-reponsive worm-like micelles (WLMs) were obtained by addition of a relatively small amount of a switchable surfactant, 4-butyl-4´-(4-N,N-dimethylhexyloxy-amine) azobenzene bicarbonate (AZO-B6-CO₂), sensitive to the same ...
