Fatty acid methyl ester analysis of bacterşal isolates from salt lake, Turkey and characterization of their extracellular enzymes Bahçeci, Hümeyra; Gültekin, Güzin Candan; Department of Biotechnology (2004) In this study, 11 bacterial isolates from Salt Lake,Turkey were identified by using fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) analysis. They were screened for production of industrially important enzymes xylanase, cellulase, a-amylase and protease. These enzymes were characterized in terms of enzyme activity, stability, optimum temperature and optimum pH. One of the isolates was identified as Bacillus pumilus, and two of them were identified as Bacillus subtilis. Other isolates were determined to be Bacillus lichenifo...
Immunoproteomic analysis of Bordetella pertussis and identification of new immunogenic proteins Altindis, Emrah; Tefon, Burcu E.; Yildirim, Volkan; Ozcengiz, Erkan; Becher, Doete; Hecker, Michael; Özcengiz, Gülay (Elsevier BV, 2009-01-22) Bordetella pertussis is the causative agent of highly communicable respiratory infection whooping cough (pertussis) which remains one of the world's leading causes of vaccine-preventable deaths. In the present study, total soluble proteins extracted from two B. pertussis strains, Tohama I and the local isolate Saadet were separated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and analyzed by Western blotting for their reactivity with the antisera obtained from the mice immunized with inactivated whole cells as we...
Multilayer polymeric films for controlled release of ceftriaxone sodium Kızıltay, Aysel; EREL GÖKTEPE, İREM; Hasırcı, Nesrin (LookUs Bilisim A.S., 2019-01-01) Objective: The objective of this study was to prepare a controlled release system, which could be used in medical applications in order to treat infections at the host region. Methods: Microlayer films were prepared via solvent casting method. Films with 3-layers were prepared by using chitosan (CHI), gelatin (GEL) and alginate (ALG) in the form of CHI /ALG/CHI and CHI-GEL /ALG/CHI-GEL with or without ceftriaxone sodium (CS) which is loaded in the middle ALG layer. All films were crosslinked by exposing the...
Inhalation and dermal exposure to atmospheric polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and associated carcinogenic risks in a relatively small city GÜNGÖRMÜŞ, ELİF; Tuncel, Semra; TECER, LOKMAN HAKAN; SOFUOĞLU, SAİT CEMİL (Elsevier BV, 2014-10-01) The aim of this study was to conduct a carcinogenic risk assessment for exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) via routes of inhalation and dermal contact. Concentrations of 19 PAM species were determined during a heating period at a site in the city of Balikesir, Turkey. Two questionnaires were administered to a sample of inhabitants to determine time-activity budgets and demographic information. The assessment was conducted for each participant and Balikesir population by deterministic and pr...
Feedback controlled electrical nerve stimulation: A computer simulation Doruk, R. Ozgur (Elsevier BV, 2010-07-01) The role of repetitive firing in neurophysiologic or neuropsychiatric disorders, such as Parkinson, epilepsy and bipolar type disorders, has always been a topic of medical research as therapies target either the cease of firing or a decrease in its frequency. In electrotherapy, one of the mechanisms to achieve the purpose in point is to apply a low density electric current to the nervous system. In this study, a computer simulation is provided of a treatment in which the stimulation current is computed by n...
