The potentiality of the Triton X-114 phase separation technique for the purification of proteins from plant microsomal membranes has been investigated. It was shown that glycerol significantly lowers the cloud point of Triton X-114 solutions in water and of Triton X-114 solubilizates from microsomal membranes. It was also established that solubilized membrane components decrease the temperature of Triton X-114 micellar aggregation. Solubilization of microsomal membrane using detergent to protein ratios lower than 3.5, however, resulted in complete inhibition of detergent phase separation. Phase partitioning of Triton X-114 microsomal solubilizates, performed at low temperature (4 degrees C), in the presence of glycerol, provided a very fast and efficient step for the purification of cytochromes P-450 and b5. Conditions allowing optimal recoveries of these cytochromes have been defined.

A systematic experimental optimization procedure was developed for the synthesis of cerium-doped titanium dioxide nanoparticles (CeTNPs) based on modified sol-gel process. The nanocomposite was prepared using titanium tetraisopropoxide (TTIP) as a catalyst precursor, while utilizing the non-ionic surfactant Triton X-114 in cyclohexane as a stabilizing agent. The synthesis process was optimized by identifying the main experimental factors that affect the properties of the nanoparticles, primarily the structural phase and particle size.

Article Synopsis
- Surfactants can improve the enzymatic breakdown of lignocellulosic biomass, leading to more sugar yield with less enzyme needed, but how they interact with lignin and cellulase remains unclear.
- A combination of non-ionic and cationic surfactants notably reduced the non-productive attachment of lignin to cellulase—by up to 55%—while promoting conditions that favor cellulase activity.
- The effectiveness of these surfactants in diminishing lignin's impact on cellulases is influenced by lignin's properties, suggesting that future research can inform better surfactant or additive designs for more efficient biomass processing.
