Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordBioethanol Production from Rice StrawNutawan Yoswathana, Phattayawadee Phuriphipat, Pattranit Treyawutthiwat, Mohammad Naghi EshtiaghiProblem statement: Rice straw has been treated with different chemical (acid, alkali) and physical (subcritical water, ultrasound) methods to convert lignocellulose material to sugar. In addition enzyme treatment of pretreated samples has been applied to improve the conversion of lignocellulose material in sugar. Approach: Sulfuric acid at concentration of 1-9% was applied for acid treatment. For alkali treatment was sodium … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 18,056 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordEvaluation of Hairy Vetch (Vicia villosa Roth) in Pure and Mixed Cropping with Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) to Determine the Best Combination of Legume and Cereal for Forage ProductionSeyedeh, Davood Habibi, Ali Kashani et al.Problem statement: Mixed cereal-legume cropping can supply valuable forage in dry areas, as well as improving soil characteristics to approach sustainable farming systems in these regions. Approach: In order to comprise quality and quantity of produced forage and to determine the best planting ratio in a hairy vetch and barley mix cropping, a two year study was conducted during 2008 … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 9,102 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordKnock Down of Erythrulose Kinase (eyk1) Leads to the Enhancement of Erythritol Production in Yarrowia lipolytica Mutant Strain YE4-2Xinhe Zhao, Tianlong Huang, Yaxin Zhang et al.Erythritol is a nearly zero-calorie sweetener, which is in great demand in food and health care industry. Our previous work obtained a Yarrowia lipolytica mutant strain YE4-2 with high erythritol yield. However, its conversion rate of glucose needs further improvement. Erythrulose kinase (eyk1) participates in the early stages of erythritol catabolism; the existence of eyk1 prevents the accumulation of erythritol. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 3 · 24 Jul 2020 · 6,750 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordPlants Responses to Nutrients Follow the Saturation Kinetic Typical of Enzyme Systems: Biological, Economical and Environmental ImplicationsR.P. LanaAgricultural efficiency has been associated with high plant productivity. However, it is dependent on fertilizers, which are nonrenewable resources. Crop production response to fertilizers is hyperbolic, following the Michaelis-Menten model and the law of diminishing return. Data of crop production (barley, bean, corn, cotton, soybean and wheat) as a function of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilization were analyzed by Lineweaver-Burk … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 6,895 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordProduction and Evaluation of Hydroxyapatite (HAp) Properties of Broiler’s Composite Bone (BCB) Waste at Different Sintering TemperaturesMuhammad Irfan Said, Effendi Abustam, Asdar Gani et al.Bone is one of the perishable livestock wastes, so serious attention is needed. The wastes are produced by Poultry Slaughterhouse (PSh) primarily in the process of separating meat from bone to produce boneless products. The main constituent of bone is the crystals Ca and P, which are the major elements of Hydroxyapatite (HAp). The purpose of this study was to … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 3 · 8 May 2018 · 7,711 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordOptimization of Hydrolysis Conditions for the Production of Iron-Binding Peptides from Scad (Decapterus maruadsi) Processing ByproductsWenting Zhang, Yanan Li, Jie Zhang, Guangrong HuangThe scad (Decapterus maruadsi) processing byproduct (SPB) was hydrolyzed by four commercial enzymes, namely, trypsin, flavourzyme, protamex and alcalase, for preparing high Iron-Binding Capacity (IBC) hydrolysate. Alcalase was the best choice for obtaining high IBC hydrolysate from SPB. Response surface methodology using a central-composite design was employed to optimize the enzymatic hydrolysis conditions with alcalase to obtain a maximum hydrolysate … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 17 Oct 2016 · 7,589 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordHigh Quality Komatsuna (Brassica rapa L. nothovar) Production by Using Silicate Minerals Treated Nutrient SolutionSheheli Islam, Kumagai Kazunori, Noriko Takeda, Katsumi IshikawaProblem statement: Good water quality not only produces good crop yield, but also maintains environmental quality and so with plant, animal and human health. Therefore, protecting the quality of water by using non chemical materials is an emerging issue to be solved. Bakuhan seki having additional negative charge were found to have the capacity of improving condition of water while … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 8,637 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordA Comparative Assessment of Hydroponically Grown Cereal Crops for the Purification of Aquaculture Wastewater and the Production of Fish FeedA. M. Snow, A. E. Ghaly, A. SnowHydroponically grown wheat, barley and oats were examined for their ability to remove nutrients from aquaculture wastewater. Wheat, barley and oats seeds were germinated in water in a hydroponics system. The seedlings then received wastewater from an aquaculture system stocked with Arctic charr. During the experiment, the crops grew rapidly and fairly uniformly and showed no signs of mineral deficiency … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 9,167 accessesView PDF Cite
