June Safety Issue 6/3/2015 To All: _ISP Certification Renewal_ We are preparing for the 2015 LORRE Integrated Safety Plan (ISP) certification renewal audit.This is a very important safety program for LORRE.First, we will separate into two teams and preform self-audits.After the self-audits are completed, each PI must sign the self-audit checklist. Room 231, B38,235,138,235,236,237,256,236, by Prof. Mosier Room 359,333,336 by Prof. Engelberth Room 335,233/252,254, by Dr. Eduardo All self-audits result report to Prof. Ladisch The self-audits should be finished by 6/19/2015.If there are any corrections to be made based on the self-audit, please complete them by 7/1/2015. This safety audit combines Lab #359's organization and arrangement processes.We believe everyone is responsible for promoting lab safety in LORRE. _Safety Self-Audit List_ Team Leaders Participate Areas 1 Dr. Ximing Zhang Mahdieh Aghazadeh Raymond Red Corn Dayane Morais Madison Turner Haley Roos Leyu Zhang Jinsha Li Antonio dos Santos Emma Brace Patrick Canepa Linda Liu Dr. Weihua Xiao German Elejalde Schafer Room 333 Room 359 Room 336 Room B38 Room B138 2 Thomas Kreke Barron Hewetson Iman Beheshti Rafaela de Souza Neal Hengge Daehwan Kim Amanda Kreger Seockmo Ku David Orrego Lopez Sidnei Emilio Bordignon Room 335 Room 231 Room 233/252 Room 235 Room 237 Room 236 Room 254 Room 256 Office 216 __ _Chemical Inventory Update (2015)_ Madison Turner, Dayane Vanessa Morais and Haley Roos helped to finish all lab chemical inventories.We would like to thank them for their work.The updated lists will be posted in each lab.The complete document is available from Carla and will be kept in the LORRE Office. The chemical inventory is helpful when trying to find certain chemicals.Also please check the inventory list before ordering any chemicals to avoid duplication.These updates will help everyone save time and money on research _Lab Coat Cleaning_ We have recently taken all dirty lab coats to be cleaned.We would like to thank Joan Goetz for washing the lab coats for the LORRE laboratory. Thank you for your cooperation, The LORRE Safety Committee __ __ __ __ __

Seminar November 24, 2015 David Orrego Enzyme Catalyzed Disassembly of Corn Kernels Our work addresses the goal of developing new uses for corn and relating it to Indiana's significant ethanol industry. The idea is to use cellulases, hemicellulases and proteases to deconstructs the kernel into its base components of starch, pericarp, germ (and oil), and sugars, in an easy process that does not require complex machinery or recalcitrant chemicals. A scalable process using 1 L stirred tanks was tested at laboratory scale for the enzymatic fractionation of corn kernels, resulting in three fractions: Starch flour, pericarp and filtrate solution. Purity of starch in the flour was approx. 90% with appearance and consistency similar to commercial corn starch. Modelling will assist reactor design. Diversification of products for corn growers is possible through the proposed design. Sidnei Bordignon Seminar Schedule - All Graduate Students Expected to Attend Please send me your seminar titles!
