Insoluble


Definition:

  • (a.) Not soluble; in capable or difficult of being dissolved, as by a liquid; as, chalk is insoluble in water.
  • (a.) Not to be solved or explained; insolvable; as, an insoluble doubt, question, or difficulty.
  • (a.) Strong.

Example Sentences:

  • (4) Evidence is presented which suggests that these plasmid-mediated, temperature-inducible surface fibrillae are responsible for autoagglutination and are related to production of one prominent, Sarkosyl-insoluble polypeptide of ca.
  • (5) During the growth of Azotobacter vinelandii in batch culture in Burk's 2% glucose medium supplemented with 50 mg EDTA per litre, water-insoluble capsular polysaccaride material accumulated in cultures prior to the appearance of water-soluble polysaccharide in the culture medium.

Lixiviate


Definition:

  • (a.) Alt. of Lixivited
  • (v. t.) To subject to a washing process for the purpose of separating soluble material from that which is insoluble; to leach, as ashes, for the purpose of extracting the alkaline substances.
