Subject field(s)

DEF

Amino acid nitrogen exclusive of proline (an imino acid), usable by yeasts, ammonia is not included.

CONT

Protease activity was determined by the measurement of free amino nitrogen(FAN) or the amount of tyrosine liberated(Folin's method). [Source : ethanol project-Cmpdxwor. en p. 1].

CONT

Application of biological acidification to improve the quality, flavour and processability of beer produced with twenty percent raw barley.... A decoction mashing programme was applied to the pilot scale brews. Characteristics of the laboratory scale mashes and the pilot scale brews examined included mash pH, extract, colour, filterability, viscosity, total soluble nitrogen(TSN), free amino nitrogen(FAN), high molecular weight nitrogen(HMWN), fermentability, beta glucan, zinc, foam stability and sugar and amino-acid profiles.

CONT

Pour évaluer l'activité de la protéase, nous avons dosé l'azote aminé libre ou mesuré la quantité de tyrosine libérée (méthode de Folin). [Source: projet éthanol - Cmpdxwor.fr p. 1].

CONT

Il existe différentes méthodes d'analyses qui permettent d'estimer les teneurs en azote ammoniacal et/ou en azote aminé des moûts de raisin : dosage enzymatique ou méthode de Boussingault pour doser l'azote ammoniacal, détermination de l'azote aminé libre par réaction colorée avec la ninhydrine [en anglais : «FAN» : «free amino nitrogen»], méthode de Sörensen ou formoltitration pour doser l'azote assimilable (Aerny, 1996).

English

Subject field(s)
  • Botany
CONT

In exchange for food and a home for the rhizobia in the tumor-like nodules formed on plant roots, the rhizobia aid plant growth by making nitrogen available. The process by which the nitrogen of the air is converted into a usable form available to the plant is called symbiotic nitrogen fixation. Nitrogenase enzymes catalyze the conversion of free nitrogen to ammonia, which is then incorporated into amino acids and proteins.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Botanique
CONT

La mise en évidence des nodosités sur les racines des légumineuses (fut) rapidement suivie de la découverte de la fixation symbiotique de l'azote de l'air [...] Les bactéries existant dans ces nodosités (Bacillus radicola ou Rhizobium) fixent peu d'azote en culture pure mais seulement en milieu symbiotique. [...] Il y a gain d'azote pour la plante et gain pour le sol qui bénéficie de résidus racinaires et d'excrétions éventuelles.
