Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDisposal of Agro-Industrials Wastes as Soil AmendmentsAli Mekki, Fatma Arous, Fathi Aloui, Sami SayadiWe investigated the fertilizing potential of three agro-industrial wastes (Compost (C), Dehydrated Manures (DM) and Digestate (D)) on soil properties, on seeds germination and the plants growth. Results showed that the addition of wastes modified several soil properties as pH, Electrical Conductivity (EC), Water Retention Capacity (WRC) and Soil Organic Matter (SOM). Hence, SOM increase from 1.5% in unamended soil … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 6 · 11 Jan 2014 · 7,021 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBIOCHEMICAL, NUTRIENT AND INHIBITORY CHARACTERISTICS OF STREPTOMYCES CULTURED FROM A HYPERSALINE ESTUARY, THE LAGUNA MADRE (TEXAS)Luis E. Espinoza, Anita L. Davelos Baines, Kristine L. LoweStreptomyces are common soil bacteria that produce secondary metabolites, including several antibiotics; however, the characteristics of marine Streptomyces are largely unknown. Sediment samples were taken from 3 sites in the Laguna Madre to isolate marine Streptomyces. Sediment was diluted, spread onto synthetic seawater media to estimate the total bacterial density of the samples and spread onto starch casein agar to … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 7 Feb 2013 · 7,222 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnhancing Bioconversion Efficiency of the Earthworm Eudrilus Eugeniae (Kingberg) by Fortifying the Filtermud Vermibed using an Organic NutrientK. Vasanthi, K. Chairman, J. Savarimuthu Michael et al.Problem statement: Rapid urbanization and population growth are largely responsible for very high increasing rate of solid waste in the urban areas, its proper management and recycling is major problems of Municipal Corporation. Conversion of industrial wastes in to beneficial vermicompost not only solves solid waste accumulation but also yield highly nutritive organic manure. Approach: Enhancing the efficiency of earthworm … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 6 Jul 2011 · 8,723 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy on Carbon Source Screening Technology for Prevention and Control of Banana Fusarium WiltJin Li, Tingting Duan, Zhong Lin et al.With the spread of banana Fusarium wilt and the aggravation of the damage, it has become the biggest threat to the banana industry. Many studies have shown that bio-organic fertilizer plays an important role in the prevention and control of banana wilt, but most studies focused on biocontrol bacterium screening, not screening carbon sources that could prevent banana wilt, which … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 5 Mar 2020 · 7,265 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGRAPHENE OXIDE AS ANTIMICROBIAL AGAINST TWO GRAM-POSITIVE AND TWO GRAM-NEGATIVE BACTERIA IN ADDITION TO ONE FUNGUSRoda F. Al-Thani, Noorunnisa Khanam Patan, Mariam A. Al-MaadeedGraphene based materials have wide potential applications in biology, biomedical, agriculture environmental and biotechnology. Graphene Oxide (GO) is one of those materials and has a promising substance as antimicrobial agents. GO in this study was prepared by a modified Hummers method and was characterized by different techniques for confirmation of formation of GO. To study the antimicrobial activities of GO, … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 3 · 14 Oct 2014 · 9,246 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRapid Real Time PCR Based Detection of Cell Count in Case of Urinary Tract InfectionPoulomi Nandy, Ashoke Ranjan Thakur, Shaon Ray ChaudhuriMicrobial identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing methods currently used in clinical microbiology laboratories require at least two to three days because they rely on the growth and isolation of micro-organisms. This long, but necessary, delay has enormous consequences on prophylactic usage of antimicrobial drugs. This study was an attempt to reduce this detection time span. Taq Man Real Time PCR … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 22 Jun 2013 · 8,217 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Ecological Survey of Microorganisms Associated with Plantain Roots (Rhizosphere)Bello O.S., G.A. UtangProblem statement: Micro-organisms are more predominant around root zone and as such play a vital role to plant. Micro-organisms are diverse and have property modification which are beneficial to plant growth and root development. Approach: The lack of knowledge on the specific microorganisms associated with plantain roots in Cross River State soils (which inturn leads to an avoidable loss of … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2011 · 8,271 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermination of Iron Deficiency among Human Immunodeficiency Virus Sero PositivesM. A. Pradeep, M. Thiruvalluvan, K. Aarthy, J. M. MaryProblem statement: Iron is an important dietary mineral and involves in various body functions. In humans, iron is an essential component of proteins involved in oxygen transport. It is also essential for the regulation of cell growth and differentiation. Iron and its binding protein have immune regulatory properties and shifting of immune regulatory balances by iron excess or deficiency may … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 7,022 accessesView PDFCite
