Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleKnock Down of Erythrulose Kinase (eyk1) Leads to the Enhancement of Erythritol Production in Yarrowia lipolytica Mutant Strain YE4-2Xinhe Zhao, Tianlong Huang, Yaxin Zhang et al.Erythritol is a nearly zero-calorie sweetener, which is in great demand in food and health care industry. Our previous work obtained a Yarrowia lipolytica mutant strain YE4-2 with high erythritol yield. However, its conversion rate of glucose needs further improvement. Erythrulose kinase (eyk1) participates in the early stages of erythritol catabolism; the existence of eyk1 prevents the accumulation of erythritol. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 3 · 24 Jul 2020 · 6,750 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleExposure to Mercury at Trace Concentrations Leads to Collapse of the Hepato-Nephrocitic System in Two Neotropical Species of BumblebeeFelipe Lissoni de Andrade Nogueira, Paulo José Bálsamo, Monica Jones Costa, Fábio Camargo AbdallaThis research aimed to investigate the effects of exposure to safe concentrations of mercury on the morpho-physiology of cells of the hepato-nephrocitic system of two species of neotropical bees. Workers of the neotropical bumblebee species Bombus morio and B. atratus were exposed to 0.2 ppb mercury for 48 h by ingestion. Bioassays were performed according some direction of OECD (2017) … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 14 Dec 2018 · 8,617 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDesalination leading to Salinity Variations in Kuwait Marine WatersAhmad E. Al-DousariProblem statements: The salinity of seawater is a critical issue for desalination process. Approach: The salinity changes in the coastal waters of Kuwait due to large scale power and desalination activity were evaluated. Results: Systematic sampling campaigns were planned to cover the uptake and outfall of the desalination plant spreading evenly the sampling points to cover the freshwater input zone … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,106 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMechanism of Garden Aquatic Plants in the Remediation of Heavy Metal-Contaminated SoilChen Chen, Guangwu LiuHeavy metals such as cadmium, lead, and mercury are resistant to microbial degradation in soil and persist for extended periods. They can bioaccumulate through the food chain, ultimately impacting human health. This study demonstrates that a combined restoration approach involving soil enhancement and garden aquatic plants, specifically through the application of ferrous sulfate, results in increased dry weight and plant … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 20 Apr 2026 · 1,497 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the keywordsAn Immunological Argument for One HealthMark Brown et al.Human exposure to heavy metals is associated with higher rates of immunological deficiencies, autoimmunity, and cancer. Chronic exposure to lead contributes to abnormalities in immunomodulation while cadmium is linked to breast, prostate, and lung cancers. Prenatal exposure to these metals impacts both the development and function of immune cells. The concept of one health underscores the importance of the interface … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 18, Issue 1 · 3 Feb 2023 · 9,822 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsNew Golden Red Sodium Calcium Silicate GlassesWang Cheng-Yu, Wun Nuan-Xin, Ge Yi et al.Traditional golden red glasses were based on K2O-PbO-SiO2 composition system. In this paper, we reported new golden red glasses based on Na2O-CaO-SiO2 system without SnO2 and PbO in them. By using a spectrophotometer and chromamter color difference meter, it was found that the new glasses had similar optical properties to the traditional ones. The diameter of the gold particles in … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 13 Feb 2019 · 7,061 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPb Removal from Contaminated Water Using EDTA with Colocasiaesculenta (L.) Schott at Klity Creek, Kanchanaburi, ThailandPantawat Sampanpanish, Yotsavanun HongpiriyakulThis study investigated lead (Pb) removal using a plant called‘Elephant Ear’ (Colocasiaesculenta (L.) Schott) from contaminated waterat Klity Creek, located in Kanchanaburi Province, Thailand. Plants weregrown in contaminated water with lead carbonate (Pb(CO3)2) in a nursery. The experiment was divided into 4 sets; (1) With Pb but without EDTA, (2) With Pb and EDTA 0.01 millimole (mM) per liter (mM … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 3 · 4 May 2018 · 8,162 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAdsorption of Pb(II) on Spent Leaves of Green and Black TeaAntonio Zuorro, Roberto LavecchiaProblem statement: In recent years much attention has been focused on the use of biomass residues as low-cost adsorbents for the removal of heavy metal ions from contaminated waters. Spent tea leaves, an abundantly available material that is currently disposed of as a solid waste, are potentially suitable for such applications. Approach: To provide some information on the adsorption properties … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2010 · 9,588 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsFull Scale Tests of Short-Term Municipal Solid Waste Incineration Bottom Ash Weathering Before Landfill DisposalFranco Marchese, Giuseppe GenonProblem statement: Natural weathering is the most economic method of treatment in order to reduce the release of heavy metals present in the residue. Approach: The aim of the study was to optimize the minimum weathering times that were useful to reduce the lead release to within the Italian limits for landfill disposal. The mechanism of short-term weathering of MSWI … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,153 accessesView PDFCite
