While the water permeability of plasma membranes mammalian cells has been studied extensively, transport across subcellular compartments (e.g., lysosomes, macropinosomes) difficult to study. Here we demonstrate a new method for measuring flux in late endosomes and lysosomes intact living using time-lapse fluorescence microscopy. Cells were loaded by fluid-phase uptake with mixture Lucifer Yellow dextran (LY-dex), D(2)O sensitive dye, insensitive control Alexa fluor 546 (AF546-dex). LY-dex...
Coffee production generates large volumes of waste, which have the potential to cause pollution problems soil and water loss biodiversity. pulp was used as a substrate for edible mushroom Pleurotus pulmonarius, high protein content product (17.8% ± 0.84%). The spent (SMS) resulting from fungus showed decrease in lignin (49.7% 12%), cellulose (33.7% 10.8%), phenolic compound (87% 2%) content, avoids contamination bodies by them. Since SMS still contains N (2.45%), P (0.20%), K (0.112%), Ca...
Este trabajo aborda la problemática representada por los micro y nanoplásticos (MP NP, respectivamente) en las costas americanas del Océano Pacífico, desde perspectiva de Red Micro Nano Allpa Pacha. Esta red está conformada científicos Chile, Perú, Costa Rica, Colombia, Ecuador, Panamá México, quienes, preocupados el impacto ambiente su repercusión salud, decidieron establecer colaboraciones científicas internacionales para geolocalización, monitoreo caracterización MP NP presentes Pacífico...
Agroindustrial waste represents an important source of energy for various species fungi that can establish themselves in and use it as a substrate. In this study, macrofungus grows the wild on sugarcane bagasse produced by paper industry was taxonomically identified. Ten samplings or mushroom collections were made at site, average 6 individuals collected per sampling. Specimens had pileus between 4 15 cm diameter, from parabolic to convex shape, slightly umbilicated with soft odor fibrous...
Service-learning methodology makes a connection between student classroom learning and the application of knowledge to solve community needs. The present study was carried out with Universidad Autónoma de Occidente (Colombia) by environmental engineering students enrolled in Chemistry 2 course. helped Autonoma reinforce criteria for separating solid waste generated cafeteria. To carry this project, had appropriate concepts from chemistry course such as functional groups, types polymers,...
