Mobility of the Mössbauer label attached to the membrane proteins and the Mössbauer probe embedded into the lipid matrix of the bacterial chromatophores were studied. Positive correlation was established between the dynamic properties of hydrophobic compartments in the chromatophores and functional electron--transport activity at the level of quinone cofactors associated with the photosynthetic reaction centres.

Advancements in clinical chemistry have major implications in terms of public health, prompting many clinicians to seek out chemical information to aid in diagnoses and treatments. While mass spectrometry (MS) and hyphenated-MS techniques such as LC-MS or tandem MS/MS have long been the analytical methods of choice for many clinical applications, these methods routinely demonstrate difficulty in differentiating between isomeric forms in complex matrices. Consequently, ion mobility spectrometry (IM), which differentiates molecules on the basis of size, shape, and charge, has demonstrated unique advantages in the broad application of stand-alone IM and hyphenated IM instruments towards clinical challenges.

Bacterial cellulose, with mechanical strength, high water absorption, and crystallinity, is used in eco-friendly packaging, wound dressings, and drug delivery systems. Despite its potential, industrial-scale production is limited by inefficiency and high costs, requiring high-yield strains and optimized growth conditions. This study found that indigenous isolates produce superior bacterial cellulose compared to standard strains.

Currently, biopolymer-based Zn-containing nanoforms are of great interest for medical applications. However, there is lack information on optimal synthesis parameters, reagents and stabilizing agent for production of zinc carbonate nanoparticles (ZnC-NPs). In this work, synthesis of ZnC-NPs was carried out by chemical precipitation with the use of chitosan, hydroxyethyl cellulose, methyl cellulose and hyaluronic acid as stabilizing agents.
