Differences in Ratio of Carbon Stable Isotopes among Barley Grain Milling Fractions with Various Concentrations of Beta-Glucans

open access: yesMolecules, 2023
The grains of three barley varieties were milled and sieved to obtain respective milling fractions with a content of beta-glucans (b-G) from 1.4 to 10.7%. The enriched fraction obtained by the extraction and precipitation contained 24.7% of b-G.

Stable Isotope Ratios and Forensic Analysis of Microorganisms [PDF]

open access: yesApplied and Environmental Microbiology, 2007
ABSTRACTIn the aftermath of the anthrax letters of 2001, researchers have been exploring various analytical signatures for the purpose of characterizing the production environment of microorganisms. One such signature is stable isotope ratios, which in heterotrophs, are a function of nutrient and water sources. Here we discuss the use of stable isotope

Triple oxygen stable isotope analysis of nitrite measured using continuous flow isotope ratio mass spectrometry

open access: yesMethodsX, 2023
Oxygen stable isotopes (i.e., 16O, 17O, 18O) of nitrite (NO2−) are useful for investigating chemical processes and sources contributing to this important environmental contaminant and nutrient. However, it remains difficult to quantify the oxygen isotope

Measurement of soil respiration and its isotope signature using an automated closed-chamber system [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
A variety of methods is currently used for measuring soil and plant respiration and its isotope composition. Limitations found in the literature show a lack of a single set of specifications for these measurements. This report details a unique laboratory

Equations for lipid normalization of carbon stable isotope ratios in aquatic bird eggs. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Stable isotope ratios are biogeochemical tracers that can be used to determine the source of nutrients and contaminants in avian eggs. However, the interpretation of stable carbon ratios in lipid-rich eggs is complicated because (13)C is depleted in ...
