Background Biological processing of heavy fractions of crude oils offers less severe process
conditions and higher selectivity for refining. Biochemical Processes are expected to be low …

The excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate evokes physiological responses within the
astrocytic network that lead to fine morphological changes. However, the mechanism by which …

The application of microorganisms for removing crude oil pollution from contaminated sites
as a type of bioremediation has long been a matter of study in scientific communities. In this …

Purpose In the brain, astrocytes are non-excitable cells that undergo rapid morphological
changes when stimulated by the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate. We developed a …

There have been few records on microorganisms with the ability to survive and utilizehigh
concentrations of heavy fractions of crude oil like asphaltene. These organisms are applicable …

The excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate triggers a Ca 2+ rise and the extension of processes
in astrocytes. Our results suggest that kainic acid receptors (KAR) can independently …

Accepted September 09, 2013 Abstract: An increased interest for potential application of
microbial surface active compounds is based on their broad range of functional properties …

A chemical probe (DECM-PhKA) was developed to study filopodia extension in glial cells
with spatio-temporal control. Irradiating DECM-PhKA with blue light releases the neuroactive …

Results: Results revealed the use of 4.32 M supersaturated ammonium sulfate instead of
the use of dry salt of ammonium sulfate, used in the traditional method (WHO TRS, No. 980), …

There have been few records on microorganisms with the ability to survive and utilizehigh
concentrations of heavy fractions of CRUDE OIL like asphaltene. These organisms are …
