Approach: The enzyme was purified using ammonium sulfate precipitation, ion exchange and gel filtration chromatography. Results: Maximum amylase activity (72 U mL-1) was obtained at 100°C after 10 min of incubation. The enzyme was purified 24 fold … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,404 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Metal Ion Concentrations on Lipid and Gamma Linolenic Acid Production by Cunninghamella sp. 2A1Farhila Muhid, Wan Nazatul Naziah Wan Nawi, Abdul Jalil Abdul Kader et al.The effects of different concentration of MgSO4.7H2O, FeCl3.6H2O, ZnSO4.7H2O, CuSO4.5H2O and MnSO4.5H2O on lipid and GLA production by Cunninghamella sp. 2A1 were studied in submerged culture fermentation. Cultivation was performed in 250 ml conical flask (100ml working volume), at 30°C and 250 rpm agitation for 120h. Mg2+, Fe2+ and Zn2+ have significant effect on lipid accumulation as inclusion of each … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,442 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPattern of Survival and Mortality of Mangrove Populations Grown at Al-Jubail Area (Saudi Arabia) of the Arabian GulfAkram Ali, Ahmed Alfarhan, Ernest Robinson, Ibrahim AldjainThe life table and fecundity schedule were produced for [Avicennia marina (Forsk.) Vierh] populations of four habitat types at Al-Jubail area, KSA. These types are sand mounds, salt flats, shoreline and intertidal sites. Survivorship (lx) was least in sand mounds and similar in all other sites. Age-specific-mortality rates (qx) where parallel in the flower bud, flower, fruiting and seedling stages … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,868 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGrowth Performance of the Red-Stripe Weevil Rhynchophorus schach Oliv. (Insecta: Coleoptera: Curculionidae) on Meridic DietsChoon-Fah J. Bong, Chin-Chin Er, Pang-Hung Yiu, Amartalingam RajanBiology and growth performance of Red Stripe Weevil, Rhynchophorus schach Oliv. were studied using meridic diets. The diets consisted of sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) bagasse, copra (Cocos nucifera L.) cake and sago (Metroxylon sagus Rottb.) flour as main ingredients. Larvae or locally known as sagoworm, in copra cake diet exhibited the fastest growth with maximum weight gain of 1609 mg … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 8,138 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Cassava (Manihot esculenta) Foliage Supplementation to Calves on the Viability and Egg Count of Haemonchus contortus NematodesJuan López, Esteban Machín, Arturo Zentella et al.Thirty early-weaned 5±3 month-old calves with an average body weight of 96±23 kg were used; 24 were artificially infested with 90 larvae (L3), of H. contortus per kilogram body weight. Calves grazed on African Star Grass (Cynodon plectostachyus) from 0600 to 1300 hours. Grazing was supplemented with lucerne hay (Medicago sativa) or cassava foliage (Manihot esculenta), and 500 g-1 head-1 … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,070 accessesView PDF Cite
