Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Heavy Metals Uptake and Translocation by Aquilaria malaccensis Planted in Soils Containing Sewage SludgeKeeren Sundara Rajoo, Arifin Abdu, Hazandy Abdul-Hamid et al.Increase in human population has resulted in an enormous growth in the volume of wastewater. The conventional methods of sewage sludge disposal, that is the by-product of wastewater treatment, are costly and not environment-friendly. An ideal way for sewage sludge management is by using it as a soil amendment in agricultural land due to sewage sludge’s high organic matter content. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 9 · 24 Aug 2013 · 7,085 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHeavy Metal Uptake and Translocation by Dipterocarpus verrucosus from Sewage Sludge Contaminated SoilKeeren Sundara Rajoo, Arifin Abdu, Daljit Karam Singh et al.Sewage sludge or biosolids is the solid waste that has been left after wastewater is treated in a domestic wastewater treatment facility. The most common way of sludge disposal is to dispose it on the land, sea or air (incineration). However, these methods are not environment-friendly, costly and time consuming that requires expertise and knowledge. An ideal way to manage … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 10 Jul 2013 · 7,824 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractChemical Compositions and Resistant Starch Content in Starchy FoodsAnuchita MoongngarmResistant Starch (RS) is one of nature’s most interesting bioactive compounds. There is a wide variety of starchy food plants in Thailand that are good sources of RS, but they have not been well studied. As such, this study was carried out to investigate the potential food source of RS. Twenty-two promising food plants were selected. The samples included (1) … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 28 Mar 2013 · 15,785 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssay for Rapid Screening of Phytochemicals as Antimicrobial AgentsGhosh Saurav, Indranil Mukherjee, Ashoke Ranjan Thakur, Shaon Ray ChaudhuriThe present study aims to develop a rapid method for antibiotic sensitivity detection and screening of natural products for antimicrobial activity. The dimension of WBC in blood film was found to get altered when seeded with bacteria and monitored under light microscope. The shrinkage was prevented in response to antibiotic treatment and validated using statistical analysis (two sample one tailed … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 18 Mar 2013 · 8,307 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTransformation of Lesquerella Fendleri with the New Binary Vector pGPro4-35SGrace Q. Chen, Roger Thilmony, Jiann-Tsyh LinProblem statement: Crop genetic engineering requires the use of various promoters to control the expression of introduced transgenes. Some of the binary vectors currently available for promoter characterization in dicotyledonous plants have pitfalls due to their construction, such as containing a selectable marker cassette with enhancer sequences that can potentially interfere with the expression specificity of nearby promoters. Also, many … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 19 Jan 2012 · 7,428 accessesView PDFCite
