This study evaluated the biofuel production potential of two algal species, Chlorella pyrenoidosa and Scenedesmus abundans, under stress conditions induced by nutrient supplementation or starvation at varying light intensities. Central composite face-centered design response surface methodology (CCFD-RSM) was employed to optimize stress conditions by varying the sodium nitrate (NaNO), potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KHPO), dipotassium hydrogen phosphate (KHPO), cultivation time, and light intensity. The study included both C.

The pyrimidine unit used for the cocrystals offers two ring N atoms (positions N1 and N3) as proton-accepting sites. Depending upon the site of protonation, two types of cations are possible [Rajam et al.

The targeted drug action of pharmaceuticals containing this functionality is likely to depend heavily on molecular recognition processes involving hydrogen bonding. Crystallization of an equimolar mixture of 4-amino-5-chloro-2,6-dimethylpyrimidine and 5-chloro-2-hydroxybenzoic acid yielded two forms of the 1:1 salt, CHClN·CHClO, each containing a different tautomeric form of the cation.

Two 1:1 cocrystals of 5-fluorouracil (5FU), namely 5-fluorouracil-4-methylbenzoic acid (5FU-MBA), CHFNO·CHO, (I), and 5-fluorouracil-3-nitrobenzoic acid (5FU-NBA), CHFNO·CHNO, (II), have been prepared and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.
