A microscale dynamic column breakthrough (μDCB) apparatus with the ability to measure unary and binary adsorption equilibrium on a milligram-scale quantity of adsorbent is described. The μDCB is a low cost system that can be constructed through minor modifications of a commercial gas chromatograph and uses a thermal conductivity detector. The small scale of the apparatus allows for the rapid collection of dynamic column breakthrough experiments. The mass balances for adsorption and desorption experiments were derived along with a description of the blank. The μDCB apparatus was tested with 238.9 mg of zeolite 13X and 180.2 mg of activated carbon with single-component N2/He and CH4/He adsorption and desorption measurements. The measured equilibrium data agreed well with volumetrically collected data. These measurements are both accurate and precise. Multicomponent adsorption was also studied on zeolite 13X and activated carbon for CH4/N2 and CO2/CH4 mixtures. This data was compared with ideal and adsorbed solution theory, extended dual-site Langmuir calculations and the literature.

Many bacteria possess surface layers (S-layers) that consist of a two-dimensional protein lattice external to the cell envelope. These S-layer arrays are usually composed of a single species of protein or glycoprotein and are not covalently linked to the underlying cell wall. When removed from the cell, S-layer proteins often reassemble into a lattice identical to that found on the cell, even without supporting cell wall fragments. S-layers exist at the interface between the cell and its environment and probably serve as molecular sieves that exclude destructive macromolecules while allowing passage of small nutrients and secreted proteins. Some S-layers are refractory to ingestion by macrophages and, generally, bacteria are more virulent when S-layers are present.When grown in rich medium under aerobic conditions, B. anthracis strain Delta Sterne-1 secretes large amounts of a proteinaceous extractable antigen 1 (EA1) into the growth medium. Immunocytochemistry with rabbit polyclonal anti-EAl antibody made against the secreted protein and gold-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG showed that EAI was localized at the cell surface (fig 1), which suggests its role as an S-layer protein.
