Factors Contributing to Trimethylamine Generation from Limed and Polymer Conditioned Sludges
Trimethylamine, (CH3)3N, (TMA), odors are often associated with limed and polymer conditioned sludges. This odor has a fishy smell and can be a nuisance to the community surrounding a wastewater treatment plant or land application site. Several factors are thought to determine the amount of TMA …

The Impact of Dietary Fat and Phosphatidylcholine on Increased Trimethylamine-N-oxide Levels
Trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO) is an important biomarker of atherosclerosis. TMAO is the product of a hepatic conversion of trimethylamine (TMA). Releasing of TMA moieties is dependent on the adaptation of the gut microbiota to dietary TMA containing substrates such as phosphatidylcholine (PC), …

Analysis of breast tissue microarray spots
Tissue microarrays (TMAs) are a high-throughput technique that facilitates the survey of very large numbers of tumours, important both in clinical and research applications. However, the assessment of stained TMA sections is laborious and still needs to be carried manually, constituting a …

Dominant substrates used by methanogens in hypersaline environments
… vials. It was hypothesized that trimethylamine (TMA) would be a dominant substrate in all ponds. Additionally, samples were incubated with substrates also reported to be of importance in hypersaline environments: methanol (MeOH); dimethylsulfide (DMS); monomethylamine (MMA); and acetate. As …

Investigating the Role of Various Environment and Process Conditions in Wastewater Sludge Odor Generation
… generation of reduced sulfur and trimethylamine (TMA) odor compounds. Results revealed that poor lime dosing can lead to an increase in odors due to biological generation of volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) during storage. In this study, a belt filter press gave a higher production of sulfur and …

Studies on the preservation of crab processing waste and evaluation of the quality of the protein from crab waste
… with lower (P < .05) NH₃ and trimethylamine (TMA). In Exp. 2, treatment with NaCI, NaNO₂ and NaN₃ did not produce any change in the physical characters of the crab waste. The TMA, indole and NH₃ were lower (P < .05) and no H₂S was detected in the waste treated with those chemicals. In Exp. 3, …
