The Influence of Moderate Electroporation on E. coli Membrane Permeability [PDF]
This study examined the membrane permeability of E. coli, which were exposed to a moderate pulsed electric field (PEF) (3.3 kV/cm). The membrane permeability of E. coli was examined as a function of time after exposure to PEF.

CO2 permeability of the rat erythrocyte membrane and its inhibition
We have studied the CO2 permeability of the erythrocyte membrane of the rat using a mass spectrometric method that employs 18 O-labelled CO2. The method yields, in addition, the intraerythrocytic carbonic anhydrase activity and the membrane HCO3 ...

Alpha-toxin induces programmed cell death of human T cells, B cells, and monocytes during USA300 infection. [PDF]
This investigation examines the influence of alpha-toxin (Hla) during USA300 infection of human leukocytes. Survival of an USA300 isogenic deletion mutant of hla (USA300Δhla) in human blood was comparable to the parental wild-type strain and ...

Study of effective parameters on the transport of dysprosium through a supported liquid membrane containing Cyanex 272 as a carrier [PDF]
In this study, the extraction of dysprosium was investigated using a supported liquid membrane (SLM) system. The experiments were performed using bis (2, 4, and 4-trimethylpentyl) phosphinic acid (Cyanex272) as the carrier.
