All samples were analysed in triplicates together with controls (sodium benzoate without inoculum, tested substances without inoculum) and blank (MSM and inoculum without tested substances).
The adsorption of tested substances is presented in Table 1.
GLIDA does not explicitly provide literature information for assays or tested substances in them.
The tested substances are as follows: sludge oil, bitumen (Khalsa 60 70), aggregates, sulfur, polymers.
The tested substances were dissolved or diluted in H2Odd, DMSO, acetone or ethanol, depending on the substance.
Porous structure of the gel provides easy access of nutrients and tested substances to the immobilized cells.
The mass spectrometer correctly identified each of the tested substances, the team will report in an upcoming issue of the Journal of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry.
The relaxation induced in rat meningeal arteries pre-contracted with K+ at increasing concentrations of each of the tested substances (A-F) and NaCl buffer (G).
The relaxation induced in rat meningeal arteries pre-contracted with PGF2α at increasing concentrations of each of the tested substances (A-E) and NaCl buffer (F).
The final comparison of sensors' signals under the influence of all our tested substances and their mixtures is shown on Fig. 4.
The tested substances were solubilized in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), and the starting stock solution was of 5,000 μg/ml concentration.
