Gordonia are gram-positive bacteria belonging to Actinomycetes family with a wide variety of industrial and environmental applications. The genetic toolbox, however, is limited for manipulation of these organisms. In the present study, a new promoter has been isolated from Gordonia sp. IITR 100 and characterized in detail. The promoter was found to be functional in Escherichia coli. The minimal promoter was identified in a 166bp fragment by deletion mapping. The putative -35 and -10 hexamer showed four and five nucleotide matches respectively with the E. coli consensus sequence. Three direct repeats and an imperfect inverted repeat upstream to -35 were found. The isolated promoter was found to be six times stronger than the Pkan promoter observed by cloning lacZ downstream to each of them in a plasmid in E. coli. The β-galactosidase activity was maximum at stationary phase and found to be ~800MU for Gordonia sp. IITR 100 and E. coli. This is the first report of a stationary phase promoter isolated and characterized from Gordonia.

This work introduces the Adsorption Energy Distribution (AED) calculation using competitive adsorption isotherm data, enabling investigation of the simultaneous AED of two components for the first time. The AED provides crucial insights by visualizing competitive adsorption processes, offering an alternative adsorption isotherm model without prior assuming adsorption heterogeneity, and assisting in model selection for more accurate retention mechanistic modeling. The competitive AED enhances our understanding of multicomponent interactions on stationary phases, which is crucial for understanding how analytes compete on the stationary phase surface and for selecting adsorption models for numerical optimization of preparative chromatography.

The retention behavior in supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) remains a complex and poorly understood phenomenon despite the development of various models to explain retention mechanisms. This study aims to deepen the understanding of retention by investigating three distinct stationary phases: high-strength silica octadecyl (HSS C18 SB), charged surface hybrid pentafluorophenyl (CSH PFP), and porous graphitic carbon (PGC) as a nonsilica-based phase. Three mobile phase compositions, i.

New stationary phases including polar embedded stationary phases that are capable of utilising green mobile phases have recently emerged. This study presents two straightforward strategies for preparing C18 phases with distinct polar-embedded groups: thioether (C18) and quaternary ammonium (C18). The two strategies were assessed based on convenience, cost, yield, and time efficiency.

The presence of background noise or competing talkers is one of the main communication challenges for cochlear implant (CI) users in speech understanding in naturalistic spaces. These external factors distort the time-frequency (T-F) content including magnitude spectrum and phase of speech signals. While most existing speech enhancement (SE) solutions focus solely on enhancing the magnitude response, recent research highlights the importance of phase in perceptual speech quality.

The aim of this work was to develop and validate a rapid dispersive-solid-phase extraction method for the quantification of pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PA) from plant extracts. The method was focused on the significant removal of the intricate matrix to ensure good sensitivity for the subsequent instrumental analysis of PA. This was achieved by employing nano-zirconium silicate (NZS) as a dispersive-SPE sorbent.
