Cyanide Content of Cassava Food Products Available in Australia
In 2009, Food Standards Australia New Zealand set a total cyanide content limit of 10 ppm for ready-to-eat cassava products to address food safety concerns about cyanogenic glucosides in cassava.

Ph-dependence of the quaternary structure of the cyanide dihydratase from bacillus pumilus [PDF]
Includes bibliographical references (leaves 81-86).Nitrilases are moderately ubiquitous nitrile/cyanide-degrading enzymes, found in both eukaryotes (animals, fungi, plants) and prokaryotes (archaea, bacteria) which catalyse the condensation and ...

Spectrophotometric determination of cyanide in aqueous samples after its conversion to thiocyanate and complexation to ferric-thiocyanate [PDF]
A simple spectrophotometric method is developed for the determination of traces of cyanide ion in water samples. Toxic cyanide was reacted with sulfur (S8) dissolved in acetone and converted to non-toxic thiocyanate which is more stable than cyanide also.

Monitoring WAD Cyanide Concentration in River Waters with a Glassy Carbon Electrode Modified with 9,10-Phenanthroquinone [PDF]
Heavy metal-containing industrial effluent streams from electroplating and metalworking industries represent a major environmental issue. They contain metal cyanide complexes ([Ni(CN)4]2- and [Cu(CN)3]2-) referred to as weak acid dissociable cyanide (CN ...

Bacterial Cheaters Evade Punishment by Cyanide
Summary: In all domains of life, mechanisms exist that protect cooperating groups from exploitation by cheaters. Recent observations with the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa have suggested a paradigmatic cheater control mechanism in which cooperator ...

Identification of specific metabolic pathways as druggable targets regulating the sensitivity to cyanide poisoning. [PDF]
Cyanide is a potent toxic agent, and the few available antidotes are not amenable to rapid deployment in mass exposures. As a result, there are ongoing efforts to exploit different animal models to identify novel countermeasures.

Airborne hydrogen cyanide measurements using a chemical ionisation mass spectrometer for the plume identification of biomass burning forest fires [PDF]
A chemical ionisation mass spectrometer (CIMS) was developed for measuring hydrogen cyanide (HCN) from biomass burning events in Canada using I− reagent ions on board the FAAM BAe-146 research aircraft during the BORTAS campaign in 2011.

Studies Of Copper-Impregnated Activated Carbon For Cyanide Removal [TD758.5.C93 S525 2007 f rb]. [PDF]
In the present work, two types of locally manufactured granular activated carbon from Kekwa Industry (KI66G and P1814G) and Versatec Industry carbon (A, C and H) were used to study their cyanide adsorption capacity.

Cyanide overproduction impairs cellular bioenergetics in Down syndrome
Cyanide exerts its toxic effects primarily by inhibiting mitochondrial Complex IV (Cytochrome c oxidase, CCOx). Recent studies have shown that mammalian cells can endogenously produce cyanide from glycine via a lysosomal pathway.
