摘要:
The present invention provides a polymer comprising a polysaccharide having excellent water absorption properties, moisture absorption properties, moisture retention properties and thickening properties. Said polysaccharide has the following properties: (A) the principal constituents of the sugar composition are rhamnose, fucose, glucose and glucuronic acid which are present in a molar ratio of (1-4):2:(1-8):(1-4); (B) elemental analysis (wt %):C: 36 .+-.3H: 7 .+-.1O: 56 .+-.4,containing 9-13% of crystalline water(C) solubility:slightly soluble in water; soluble in alkalies; insoluble in methanol, ethanol and acetone;(D) UV absorption spectrum:no absorption detected at 280 nm characteristic of proteins (peptides) or at 260 nm characteristic of nucleic acids; and(E) IR absorption spectrum:an absorption pattern characteristic of polysaccharides is observed near 800-1200.sup.-iSaid polysaccharide is produced by a fermentation method using a natural medium or a synthetic medium of Alcaligenes microorganism.
摘要:
Microorganisms of a species selected from the group consisting of the specific species belonging to genus Nocardia, genus Pseudomonas, genus Brevibacterium and genus Corynebacterium, when cultured in a culture medium containing a phthalic acid ester as a carbon source, assimilate the phthalic acid ester and decompose it into carbon dioxide gas and water.
摘要:
A vessel capable of passing a liquid therethrough is packed with a support having at least hydrophilicity and microorganism cells are inoculated to the support, retained and cultivated therein. A reaction substrate is fed to the vessel and brought into contact with the microorganism, whereby the microorganism is allowed to propagate within the support and act upon the reaction substrate to induce decomposition or synthetic reactions thereof.
摘要:
A novel nucleic acid probe for nucleic acid determination includes a single-stranded nucleic acid labeled with plural fluorescent dyes containing at least one pair of fluorescent dyes to induce FRET, the pair of fluorescent dyes including a fluorescent dye (a donor dye) capable of serving as a donor dye and a fluorescent dye (an acceptor dye) capable of serving as an acceptor dye, in which the nucleic acid probe has such a base sequence and is labeled with the fluorescent dyes so that the fluorescence intensity of the acceptor dye decreases upon hybridization with a target nucleic acid. A novel nucleic acid determination method uses the probe. The probe and method can determine one or more types of target nucleic acids in an assay system in parallel using a simple apparatus.

摘要:
A method is provided for determining a concentration of a target nucleic acid by using a nucleic acid probe labeled with a fluorescent dye. The method comprises: providing, as the probe, a nucleic acid probe capable of reducing fluorescence emission from the fluorescent dye when hybridized with the target nucleic acid; hybridizing the probe to the target nucleic acid; and measuring a decrease in fluorescence emission from the fluorescent dye after the hybridization relative to fluorescence emission from the fluorescent dye before the hybridization.
