Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Nitrogen on Growth and Lipid Content of Chlorella pyrenoidosaSubhasha Nigam, Monika Prakash Rai, Rupali SharmaProblem Statement: In today’s scenario, microalgae are widely recognized as a promising source for biofuel production as a renewable source of energy. They are exceedingly rich in oil, which can be converted to biofuel. This paper deals with one of the method to enhance the lipid content in microalgae. Approach: Microalga, Chlorella pyrenoidosa, was grown autotrophically in batch culture and … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 22 Sep 2011 · 12,285 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessing Forest Plantation Productivity of Exotic and Indigenous Species on Degraded Secondary ForestsYetti Heryati, Arifin Abdu, Mohd Noor Mahat et al.Problem Statement: There is general agreement that human activities such as deforestation and land use change to other land use types have contributed to degraded secondary forests or forestland and increases the emission of greenhouse gases which ultimately led to global climate change. An establishment of forest plantation in particular is regarded as an important approach for sequestering carbon. However, … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 6 Jun 2011 · 10,518 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCellulolytic Enzymes Production by Solid State Culture Using Pecan Nut Shell as Substrate and SupportMiguel A. Medina-Morales, José L. Martínez-Hernández, Heliodoro de la Garza, Cristóbal Noé AguilarProblem Statement: Great interest in the use of lignocellulosic biomass is increasing in order to diminish the accumulation of residues, such as pecan nut shells. One of the alternatives is the fungal degradation of these residues. Approach: The capacity of Trichoderma (coded as T1, T2 and T3) strains to produce cellulase and xylonite was evaluated. Results: Pecan nut shell fibers … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 6 Jun 2011 · 8,023 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSustainable Production Process of Biological Mineral Feed AdditivesAgnieszka Zielińska, Katarzyna Chojnacka, Marjana SimoničProblem statement: This study discussed the problem of accumulation of Zn and Cu in the topsoil as a result of application of mineral feed additives that possess low bioavailability in animal diet. The review considered the production process of mineral feed additives in which a product supplies microelements in highly bioavailable form. Enrichment of natural biomass of edible microalgae with … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2009 · 6,946 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Metal Ion Concentrations on Lipid and Gamma Linolenic Acid Production by Cunninghamella sp. 2A1Farhila Muhid, Wan Nazatul Naziah Wan Nawi, Abdul Jalil Abdul Kader et al.The effects of different concentration of MgSO4.7H2O, FeCl3.6H2O, ZnSO4.7H2O, CuSO4.5H2O and MnSO4.5H2O on lipid and GLA production by Cunninghamella sp. 2A1 were studied in submerged culture fermentation. Cultivation was performed in 250 ml conical flask (100ml working volume), at 30°C and 250 rpm agitation for 120h. Mg2+, Fe2+ and Zn2+ have significant effect on lipid accumulation as inclusion of each … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,440 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiodiesel Fuel Production from Algae as Renewable EnergyA.B.M. Sharif Hossain, Aishah Salleh, Amru Nasrulhaq Boyce et al.Biodiesel is biodegradable, less CO2 and NOx emissions. Continuous use of petroleum sourced fuels is now widely recognized as unsustainable because of depleting supplies and the contribution of these fuels to the accumulation of carbon dioxide in the environment. Renewable, carbon neutral, transport fuels are necessary for environmental and economic sustainability. Algae have emerged as one of the most promising … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 32,063 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBioaccumulation of Cr(III) ions by Blue-Green alga Spirulina sp. Part I. A Comparison with BiosorptionKatarzyna ChojnackaThe paper presents the results of studies on kinetics and equilibrium of bioaccumulation process of Cr(III) ions by blue-green alga Spirulina sp. Bioaccumulation was described as the process that consists of two stages, passive (identical with biosorption) and active (accumulation inside the cells). The passive stage (similarly as biosorption itself) was found to be quick process and the subsequent active … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,702 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordNitrifying, Denitrifying and Heterotrophic Biomass Present in Moving Bed-ReactorAndreliza Carolina Del Grossi Oliveira, Camila Zoe Correa, Kátia Valéria Marques Cardoso Prates, Deize Dias LopesThis study was carried out to evaluate the main bacterial communities related to the removal of nitrogen in a moving bed-reactor treating landfill leachate, relating the physico-chemical parameters with the existence of these organisms in the mixed liquor (non-attached microorganisms) and Support Material (SM). The system was operated in two phases: Phase I (without effluent recirculation) and II (with recirculation, … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 25 Jan 2017 · 7,628 accessesView PDFCite
