Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTotal Phenolic Composition and Antioxidant Activity of Silver Nanoparticles using Aqueous Extract of Chilca Leaves (Baccharis latifolia)Fernanda Pilaquinga, Camila Granja, Eliza Jara et al.The importance of studying polyphenols as natural antioxidants has encouraged the search for new methods of rapid, simple analysis. The synthesis of silver Nanoparticles (Ag NPs) using plant extracts has been presented as an alternative to determine the presence of polyphenolic compounds. In this study, aqueous extract of chilca (Baccharis latifolia), an endemic plant species from South America known for … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 1 · 16 Apr 2021 · 8,341 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSynthesis and Characterization of Cobalt, Iron and Ruthenium Catalysts for the Production of Synthetic DieselDayna M. Ortiz Rodríguez, María del C. Cotto-Maldonado, José Duconge Hernández et al.Fossil fuels are currently the world's leading source of energy. Environmental legislations, the high price of fossil fuels, the concern about the supply of these fuels and technological development, makes it necessary to search for alternative sources of energy. The production of clean liquid fuels, such as synthetic diesel from synthesis gas, by Fischer-Tropsch (FT) method, is considered a very … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 29 Apr 2020 · 7,248 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImmobilized Whole Cell System with Methyl Parathion-Degrading Activity for Organophosphate Insecticide DetectionChadaporn Pootawee, Witsanu Senbua, Jesdawan WichitwechkarnAs the result of the extensive use and high contamination of organophosphate (OP) insecticides in agricultural products and the environment, especially in developing countries, a simple and convenient means for OP detection and screening was investigated. Whole cells from the recombinant clone BpGP carrying methyl parathion (MP) degrading, mpdB, gene originating from MP-degrading Burkholderia cepacia and possessing MP-degrading activity were … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 3 · 18 Sep 2018 · 7,673 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Cocoa Pod Husk Compost Produced Using Rot Fungi on the Growth of Cocoa SeedlingsLaode Asrul, Iradhatullah Rahim, Tutik Kuswinanti et al.Rot fungi have the ability to decompose organic materials into simple compounds or elements as nutrients for plants. In the process, rot fungi produce secondary metabolites and absorb phosphate from their substrates so that the phosphate become available to plants. The purpose of this study was to identify the species of rot fungi isolated from decaying cocoa stems and to … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 1 · 3 Feb 2018 · 8,501 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBioactive Compounds from Sponge Associated Bacteria: Anticancer Activity and NRPS-PKS Gene Expression in Different Carbon SourcesJepri Agung Priyanto, Rika Indri Astuti, Jun Nomura, Aris Tri WahyudiSponge associated bacteria with diverse NRPS-PKS genes could be the alternative source of bioactive compounds. This study aimed to analyze the activity as well as the regulatory mechanism regarding the anticancer properties derived from these bacteria against cancer cell lines. Extraction of bacterial metabolites using ethyl acetate solvent resulted yield ranging from 0.003 to 0.016% (w/v). Six extracts of bacterial … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 5 Oct 2017 · 8,886 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOvicide and Larvicide Activities of the Essential Oils Extracted from Polyalthia longifolia and Clausena anisata on Sitotroga cerealellaGuy Alain Alitonou, Jean Pierre Noudogbessi, Philippe Sessou et al.This work has objectives to study the chemical composition of volatile extracts obtained from leaves of Polyalthia longifolia and Clausena anisata and to evaluate their ovicide and larvicide effects by fumigation against Sitotroga cerealella, as alternative to the pesticides of synthesis. The analyses of the extracts by GC-MS showed that the essential oil of P. longifolia contains 57 compounds representing … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 3 · 19 Jul 2017 · 7,773 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFenton Process for the Degradation of Methylene Blue using Different Nanostructured CatalystsMaría del C Cotto-Maldonado, José Duconge, Carmen Morant, Francisco MárquezIn many places of the world, water is a scarcity resource. The possibility of reusing water increases the relevance of developing different water treatment methods. The goal of this research was to determine if the photo-Fenton processes are efficient for the degradation of organic compounds, as a possible alternative for wastewater treatment. In order to carry out this study, different … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 19 Jul 2017 · 8,295 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFUNGAL LEACHING OF IRON ORE: ISOLATION, CHARACTERIZATION AND BIOLEACHING STUDIES OF PENICILLIUM VERRUCULOSUMNeha Chaudhary, Trina Banerjee, Neha Ibrahim, G. SibiPyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical technologies for recovery of metals from low grade ores require high energy and capital costs. Use of microorganisms in leaching of mineral ores is gaining importance due to the implementation of stricter environmental rules. Microbes convert metal compounds into their water soluble forms and are biocatalysts of leaching processes. This study was performed to isolate and characterize … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 25 Sep 2014 · 7,999 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMICROWAVE-ASSISTED EXTRACTION OF PHENOLIC ANTIOXIDANTS FROM SEMIARID PLANTSJorge E. Wong-Paz, Juan C. Contreras-Esquivel, Diana Muñiz-Marquez et al.Microwave-Assisted Extraction (MAE) kinetic in three temperatures was investigated for extraction of antioxidant phenolic compounds from Jatropha dioica, Flourensia cernua, Eucalyptus camaldulensis and Turnera diffusa which are plants of semiarid regions of Mexico. The two-site kinetic model and saturation simple equation were used to describe the experimental data. The fit of the data demonstrated that saturation simple equation was better … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 22 Mar 2014 · 7,609 accessesView PDF Cite
