Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractToxicological Response of the Green Alga Chlorella vulgaris, to Some Heavy MetalsE. Afkar, H. Ababna, A. A. FathiProblems statement: The disturbance of aquatic ecosystems provoked by heavy metals pollution from industrial and domestic sources, has as consequence the loss of biological diversity, as well as increased bioaccumulation and magnification of toxicants in the food chain. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of some heavy metals on some physiological activities of Chlorella vulgaris beyerinck … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2010 · 10,787 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFormulation and Evaluation of a Selective Medium for Lactic Acid Bacteria-Validation on Some Dairy ProductsBaida Djeghri-Hocine, Messaouda Boukhemis, Abdeltif AmraneProblem statement: Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) is characterized by fastidious nutritional requirements leading to the need for complex and rich media to allow growth. Owing to their complex requirements which also varied significantly with species, the formulation of selective media for LAB is difficult. Approach: A culture medium for LAB was previously developed based on deproteinated whey supplemented with yeast … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 9,415 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Black Cutworm as a Potential Human FoodA.E. GhalyProblem statement: The black cutworms (Agrotis ipsilon) were grown in an artificial medium to evaluate their potential as a human food. Approach: The culture was started from moths and the life cycle and culture structure were evaluated. There was an initial adjustment period of 3 days during which the growth of the larvae was very slow. The size of the … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,577 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Delaying Sporulation by Addition of Ammonium Sulphate on the Fermentation of Palm Kernal Cake Based Substrate by Aspergillus nigerK. H. Swe, A. R. Alimon, M. RaminProblem statement: Asexual sporulation is a common reproductive mode for a diverse group of fungi and the ultimate limiting factor in fungal biomass production. Approach: Delaying sporulation may increase the biomass in terms of mycelial production and the same time increase production of enzymes. Results: In order to delay the sporulation different levels of ammonium sulphate (10, 12 and 14%) … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 8,402 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractKinetics of Xylanase Fermentation by Recombinant Escherichia coli DH5α in Shake Flask CultureFarliahati Mohd Rusli, Mohd Shamzi Mohamed, Rosfarizan Mohamad et al.Problem statement: Interest in xylanase enzyme application has markedly increased in pulp and paper processing industries. The switch to xylanase-producing recombinant Escherichia coli DH5α pTP510 is seen here as an economic alternative towards higher productivity and easier downstream purification. Modeling of E. coli DH5α growth and enzyme secretion is thus desired for future optimization in fermentation process. Approach: Kinetics of … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 8,485 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractScreening Three Strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa: Prediction of Biosurfactant-Producer StrainGholamreza Dehghan-Noudeh, Mohammad Hasan Moshafi, Effat Behravan et al.Problem statement: The chemical surfactants have some disadvantages; especially, toxicity and no biodegradability. Approach: Biosurfactants were the structurally diverse group of surface-active molecules synthesize by micro-organisms. The microbial surfactants were interesting, because of the biodegradable and have many applications in industry, agriculture, medicine. Results: In the present study, the production of biosurfactant by three strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PTCC 1074, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,556 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimizing of Trichoderma viride Cultivation in Submerged State FermentationHayyan Ismaeil Al-Taweil, Mohammad Bin Osman, Aidil Abdul Hamid, Wan Mohtar Wan YussofProblems statement: A study in Malaysia had shown a strain of Trichoderma viride was isolated from the soil. Questions were raised whether Trichoderma viride submerged state fermentation affected by parameters and which of them is effective? Approach: To investigate the effects of the submerged state fermentation parameters; concentrations of carbon g L-1; (10, 45 and 80), glucose, nitrogen g L-1; … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2009 · 10,086 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRadiation Induced DNA Double Strand Break Studies of a Metal Sensitive Novel Bacterial Isolate from East Calcutta WetlandSanhita Chowdhury, Anindita Chakraborty, Ashoke Ranjan Thakur, Shaon Ray ChaudhuriProblem statement: This study was an attempt to isolate anaerobic microbes with potential for DNA double strand break repair using methanogen specific medium (DSMZ 120) from East Calcutta Wetland in India. It also intended to verify the specificity of the medium for isolation of the desired family of microbe. Approach: Culture based technique was used to obtain the pure isolate … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,127 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhenanthrene Contaminated Soil Biotreatment Using Slurry Phase BioreactorM. Arbabi, M. Sadeghi, Ch. AnyakoraProblem Statement: Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) are suspected toxins that accumulate in soils and sediments due to their insolubility in water and lack of volatility. Slurry-phase biological treatment is one of the innovative technologies that involve the controlled treatment of excavated soil in a bioreactor. Due to highly soil contamination from petroleum compounds in crude oil extraction and also oil … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 6,762 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Quick Method for Metarhizium anisopliae Isolation from Cultural SoilsM. A. Tajick Ghanbary, A. Asgharzadeh, A. R. Hadizadeh, M. Mohammadi SharifProblem statement: Fungi are one of the most active members in biological community of cultural soils. Many saprophyte and facultative parasitic fungi live in soil. Metarhizium anisopliae, one of the most famous soil inhabitant entomopathogens has a virulence potential on plant and animal pests. Approach: Introducing a new method for its isolation from soil was an applied method to find … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 9,326 accessesView PDFCite
