Fractionation of nucleic acids from Penicillium chrysogenum and associated ribonucleic acid viruses by selective exclusion and retention in agarose gels.

ABSTRACT: Double-stranded nucleic acids from a strain of Penicillium chrysogenum containing RNA viruses were isolated by agarose-gel filtration, and separated into DNA and double-stranded RNA fractions by agarose-gel chromatography in 2.5m-NaCl. The DNA fraction contained less than 1% alkali-labile polynucleotides, and sedimented homogeneously at 8-10S in alkaline sucrose gradients. In CsCl gradients it tended to band in the density region of 1.66-1.72g/ml. It had a ;melting' temperature (T(m)) of 75 degrees C in 0.015m-NaCl-0.0015m-trisodium citrate, corresponding to 51.5mol% of G+C. The double-stranded RNA fraction did not contain detectable DNA. It could not band in CsCl up to a density of 1.78g/ml, and mainly consisted of a 14-15S RNA species with a T(m) of 88.5 degrees C in the above solvent, and a G+C content of 49.3 mol%.

Double-helical character of ribonucleic acid from virus-like particles found in Penicillium chrysogenum.

Project description:1. RNA was isolated from virus-like particles found in Penicillium chrysogenum and resolved into two fractions by gel filtration through agarose columns. 2. Fraction 1 was excluded and had the following properties: 50.9% G+C [AMP 0.246, UMP 0.246, CMP 0.252, GMP 0.255 (mole fraction)]; mol.wt. about 1.2x10(6) daltons; s(20,w) 12.3S and ;melting' temperature about 100 degrees C (solvent 0.15m-sodium chloride-0.015m-sodium citrate pH7.2); optical rotation [alpha](max.) 6000 degrees at 278nm; circular dichroism (epsilon(L)-epsilon(R))(max.)=8.181mol(-1) cm(-1) at 260nm. 3. Properties of fraction 2 include 37.8% G+C [AMP 0.313, UMP 0.312, CMP 0.186, GMP 0.189 (mole fraction)]; mol.wt. about 140000 daltons; s(20,w) 7.3S, T(m) about 85 degrees C (solvent 0.15m-sodium chloride-0.015m-sodium citrate, pH7.2); optical rotation [alpha](max.) 6000 degrees at 278nm; circular dichroism (epsilon(L)-epsilon(R))(max.)=8.241mol(-1) cm(-1) at 260nm. 4. The properties of both fractions were consistent with a double-helical conformation.

Physics of agarose fluid gels: Rheological properties and microstructure.

Project description:Agarose, a strongly gelling polysaccharide, is a common ingredient used to optimize the viscoelastic properties of a multitude of food products. Through aggregation of double helices via hydrogen bonds while cooling under quiescent conditions it forms firm and brittle gels. However, this behavior can be altered by manipulating the processing conditions viz shear. For example, gelation under shear leads to microgel particles with large surface area, which in turn leads to completely different rheological properties and texture. Such fluid gels are shown to play an important role in texture modification of foods and beverages for dysphagia patients. In this study, different concentration of agarose fluid gel (0.5 % wt, 1 % wt and 2 % wt) were considered. Rheological measurements of the microgel particles showed an increase of storage and loss modulus with increasing concentration. However, 1 % wt fluid gel exhibited the lowest viscosity in the low shear range and the shortest LVE range. Furthermore, the effect on the microstructure and size of gel particles were also investigated by using light microscopy and particle size analysis. It was observed that as the concentration of agarose increased the particle size and unordered chains present at the particle surface decreases. Based on our results, we propose specific models suggesting the impact of the particle size, the concentration and the "hairy" projections on the rheological and tribological properties that could help in understanding the differences in characteristics of fluid gels.
