Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTransformation of Lignocellulosic Biomass into Sustainable Biofuels: Major Challenges and Bioprocessing TechnologiesTahira Naz, Yusuf Nazir, Abu Bakr Ahmad Fazili et al.Commercial-scale production of biofuels has recently been intensified due to its cost-effectiveness, sustainability, market stability, alternative fuel energy composition and greener output, etc. Lignocellulosic biomass attracted the attention of researchers as a renewable feedstock for fermentative conversion into biofuels because of its high productivity, low agricultural input requirements, being environmentally friendly and no competition with the food crops. The field … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 4 · 1 Aug 2020 · 7,713 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractChemical Mutagenesis for Improvement of Production of a Biologically Active Extracellular Polymeric Substance by Halomonas xianhensis SUR308Jhuma Biswas, Amal K. PaulA moderately halophilic bacterium, Halomonas xianhensis SUR308 (Genbank Accession No. KJ933394) isolated from solar saltern of Surala, Odisha, India was found to produce significant amount of a biologically active extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). Under optimized cultural conditions, the strain was able to produce 7.05 g L-1 of EPS after 8 days of incubation under shake culture. To enhance the EPS … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 1 Apr 2016 · 15,926 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractANTIFUNGAL EFFECT OF ETHANOL PLANT EXTRACT ON CANDIDA SPAwatif Al-Judaibi, Fozia Al-YousefIn this study, we investigated the in-vitro antimicrobial activity of some medicinal plants in the Arabian peninsula, including Rhamnus globosa, Ocimum basilicum, Tecoma stans and Coleus forskohlii. Our results showed high inhibitory growth in yeast after treatment with R. globosa and O. basilicum. C. tropicalis was shown to be a sensitive strain with an inhibition of 29, 28, 35, 25 … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 11 Mar 2014 · 8,022 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIMPROVED PREDICTION FOR MEDIUM OPTIMIZATION USING FACTORIAL SCREENING FOR DOCOSAHEXAENOIC ACID PRODUCTION BY SCHIZOCHYTRIUM SP. SW1Vidyah Manikan, Mohd Sahaid Kalil, Mohd Hafez Mohd Isa, Aidil Abdul HamidDocosa Hexaenoic Acid (DHA) is an essential fatty acid that plays major role in human health. It is typically extracted from fatty fish and this puts pressure on global fish stock. DHA obtained from fish is also prone to contamination. Schizochytrium is a potential alternative source, having the ability of accumulating considerable amounts of DHA. Modification of medium components and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 15 Jan 2014 · 7,845 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIdentification of Pseudozyma hubeiensis Y10BS025 as a Potent Producer of Glycolipid Biosurfactant Mannosylerythritol lipidsMartha Sari, Atit Kanti, I. Made Artika, Wien KusharyotoMannosylerythritol Lipids (MEL’s) are glycolipid biosurfactants that contain 4-O-β-D-mannopyranosyl-meso-erythritol as a hydrophilic moiety and fatty acids as a hydrophobic moiety. MEL’s are abundantly produced by several kinds of microorganism and are one of the most promising biosurfactants currently known. The search for a novel endogenous producer of MEL’s was undertaken based on the available collection of the yeast strains from … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 20 Dec 2013 · 8,103 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnhanced Production of Extracellular Alkaline Lipase by an Improved Strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa MTCC 10,055Deepali Bisht, Santosh Kumar Yadav, Nandan Singh DarmwalProblem statement: Lipases are industrially important enzymes having applications in numerous industries. For easy commercialization it is necessary to produce lipases at industrial level which could be achieved by strain improvement and medium formulation. Approach: In the present study strain improvement of Pseudomonas aeruginosa MTCC 10,055 was done by chemical mutagenesis using mutagen 4-nitroquinoline1-oxide for alkaline lipase production. Different fermentation … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 24 Nov 2011 · 8,767 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Metarhizium anisopliae var. anisopliae (Deuteromycotina: Hyphomycete) Isolates and their Effects on Subterranean Termite Coptotermes curvignathus (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae)Pik-Kheng Hoe, Choon-Fah J. Bong, Kadir Jugah, Amartalingam RajanProblem statement: Coptotermes curvignathus (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) is a common termite pest found in oil palm plantation planted on peat. Currently, the control methods focus on using insecticides that lead to high cost and adverse effect to the environment. Approach: Biological control like the use of entomopathogens provides an alternative control method for termite infestation problem. However, several factors need to … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 10,547 accessesView PDF Cite
