Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUtilization of Banana, Pineapple and Watermelon Wastes-Substrate: As Consortiums to Remediating Cyanide Polluted SoilFlorence Obiageli Nduka, Samuel Chibuike Ubani, Victor Eshu Okpashi et al.The act of processing cassava for varied food products has come with unguided and wide-spread contamination of cyanide in the environment. The need for effective reduction in cost to enable remediation of cyanide-contaminated sites from cassava mill factories is the purpose of this investigation. This involves bio-stimulation of organic wastes with indigenous microorganisms to degrade cyanide. The application of organic … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2018 · 9,934 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDiversity and Allelopathic Potential of Weeds among Panamanian Coffee CropsLilia Cherigo, Jorge Lezcano, Sergio Martínez-LuisWorldwide, coffee is one of the most highly consumed and produced crops. Coffee production is a significant activity in the Panamanian economy, mainly in rural communities and among indigenous groups in the Chiriquí province highlands. Weeds growing alongside coffee plants can provoke considerable economic losses for producers by interfering with the growth, development and yield of coffee crop in cultivated … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 3 · 6 Sep 2017 · 7,467 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Keratinolytic Activity Succeeds by Keratinophilic Fungi in Jaipur, IndiaVishnu Sharma, Anima Sharma, Ruchi SethEarth has innate background for fungi that cover individual kingdom since evolution. The keratinophilic fungi are allied moulds that produce the keratinase enzyme to degrade the keratinous materials in or on the soil. Keratinous materials are insoluble and resistant to degradation by common proteinase enzymes. It is important to study the microorganism producers of such enzymes for use in the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 7 · 12 Apr 2017 · 7,570 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractIs Rerum® the New Coley's Vaccine?Marco RuggieroColey's Vaccine and Cancer Immunotherapy Dr. William B. Coley is credited for having been the first to translate the observation of an association between bacterial infections, high fever and cancer remission into a successful cancer treatment. However, it is worth noting that such an association dates back to at least one century before Coley's times; as Wiemann and Starnes from … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 31 May 2017 · 12,285 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimization of Process Conditions for the Production of Holocellulase by a Bacillus Species Isolated from Nahoon Beach SedimentsEvelyn N. Fatokun, Uchechukwu U. Nwodo, Ademola O. Olaniran, Anthony I. OkohProduction of holocellulase by a newly isolated marine Bacillus species via submerged fermentation technique at varying cultivation conditions was investigated. Enzyme production was optimized by altering one variable per time. Moreover effect of lignocellulosic saccharides in inducing cellulase and xylanase production was also investigated. The 16S ribosomal Deoxyribonucleic Acid (16S rDNA) gene sequence analysis exhibited 98% sequence similarity of the … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 8 Apr 2017 · 8,034 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimization of Enzymatic Hydrolysis of Freeze-Dried Sea Cucumber Powder with Response Surface Methodology and Its Antioxidant EvaluationYahui Pang, Jianfeng Sun, Qian LiuIn this study, freeze-dried sea cucumber powder was used as raw material and the preparation processing conditions were studied for hydrolysis of sea cucumber powder with neutral protease using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) to obtain a high concentration of sea cucumber polypeptide. The effects of hydrolysis temperature, pH, enzyme dosage and hydrolysis time on the degree of hydrolysis (DH) were … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 17 Oct 2016 · 7,435 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimisation of Bromelain Enzyme Extraction from Pineapple (Ananas comosus) and Application in Process IndustryResmi Mohan, Venkatasubramanian Sivakumar, Thirumalaisamy Rangasamy, Chellappa MuralidharanBromelain is a general name for a family of sulfhydryl proteolytic enzymes obtained from Ananas comosus, the pineapple plant. The objective of the present study is to compare the activity of Bromelain from pineapple fruit and peel and to check the efficiency of this crude Bromelain enzyme in unhairing step in leather processing. The crude Bromelain was extracted and activity … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 19 Sep 2016 · 12,652 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSerum Ornithine Carbamoyltransferase Activity and Correlation with Fatty Liver in Dairy Cows with Displaced AbomasumKen Onda, Reiichiro Sato, Yosuke Sasaki et al.Ornithine Carbamoyltransferase (OCT) is a hepatocyte-specific enzyme; elevated serum activity indicates liver damage. Displaced abomasum frequently occurs around the time of parturition in dairy cattle and is associated with fatty liver. We analyzed serum OCT activities to investigate the relationship between displaced abomasum and fatty liver. Lactating Holstein cows, 75 clinically healthy and 22 with displaced abomasum, were used. Serum … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 13 Jul 2016 · 7,662 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Cement Dust on the Physiological Activities of Arabidopsis thalianaSaeid Abu-Romman, Jarrah AlzubiAir pollution exerts detrimental effects on plant ecosystems and restricts agricultural productivity. Cement dust is considered to be one of the most harmful air pollutants of industrial origin and is a limiting factor for plant growth and productivity. This study aims to uncover the impacts of cement dust on photosynthetic pigments, protein content, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) accumulation, lipid per oxidation … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 17 Nov 2015 · 8,117 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHide Dehairing and Laundry Detergent Compatibility Testing of Thermostable and Solvents Tolerant Alkaline Protease from Hot Spring Isolate Bacillus cohniiU3Pravin R. Dudhgara, Bhavsar Sunil, Ghelani AnjanaIn the present study, alkaline protease producing thermophilic Bacillus cohniiU3 strain was isolation from Unnai hot spring, India.
