Chitosan-Modified fast pyrolysis BioChar (CMBC) was used to remove Pb from water. CMBC was made by mixing pine wood biochar with a 2% aqueous acetic acid chitosan (85% deacylated chitin) solution followed by treatment with NaOH. The characterizations of both CMBC and Non-Modified BioChar (NMBC) were done using diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), surface area measurements ( ), elemental analysis, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and ζ-potential measurements.

We consider the cytoskeletal structure, function, and motility of the invasive zoites of the Apicomplexa. This monophyletic group possess a prominent microtubular cytoskeleton, with a very distinct polarity. It is associated with a non-actin based filamentous system, and with a cisternal double membrane assembly beneath the plasma membrane.
