Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method of producing an aluminum salt, comprising reacting activated aluminum metal (Al(0)) with an anion donor. Also provided are aluminum salts prepared by the disclosed methods.

Abstract: Methods and reagents are disclosed for improved detection of inorganic oxidizers, such as but not limited to chlorates, perchlorates, permanganates, dichromates, and osmium tetraoxides. In one aspect of the invention, latent acid-generating reagents are employed that are chemically stable at room temperature but undergo an acidic transformation when exposed to an elevated temperature or radiation. The latent reagent can be activated by heat or radiation (e.g., UV radiation). The resulting acidic reagent can then transfer a proton to the anion (i.e., chlorate, perchlorate, etc.) of the target analyte, forming an acid (i.e., chloric acid, perchloric acid) that is more easily vaporized and, hence, more easily detected. In another aspect of the invention, heat-sensitive inorganic salts and/or photosensitive onium salts are disclosed as reagents to carry out this method.

Abstract: Described herein is a composition useful for inducing expression of genes whose expression is under control of an inducible promoter sequence and methods for the compositions preparation and use.

Abstract: This present disclosure relates to methods for improved production of proteins from a cell culture, particularly to culture components and conditions that can preferentially increase the expression of proteins produced from genes under the control of xylanase gene promoter sequences. The improved methods can be used for the production of enzyme compositions with enhanced xylanase and hem icellulolytic activity.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to fermentation broth formulations containing organic acids and/or organic acid salts, and methods of making and using such formulations.
