Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImprovements on Semi Critical Assisted-Solvent Extraction of Biocrude Oil from Spirogyra. sp Macro AlgaeTulio Chavez-Gil, Hany F. Sobhi, Alexis Pacheco-LaracuenteHere, we report on an improved chemical method to extract hydrocarbons (CH) and Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAME) from wild green macro algae, which is higher than that carried out with conventional Soxhlet (Sx) and similar to that of Subcritical (SbC) or supercritical fluid (SCE) extraction methods. Crude oil plus residual biomass gave combined calorific values of 49.05 MJ/kg in … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 18 Apr 2018 · 10,085 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImproving Rumen Fermentation by Inoculation of Cellulolytic Bacteria Isolated from Anoa, Bison, Muntjak and Timor Deer FaecalSri Suharti, Erika Julian Cahyani, Iksan Qodri Pramarta et al.Tropical endemic herbivores such as anoa (Bubalus depressicornis), bison (Bos javanicus), muntjak (Muntiacus muntjak), and Timor deer (Rusa timorensis), can digest various types of fibrous feed because their digestive tract has high cellulolytic bacteria and those can be found in their feces. Previously, we isolated and identified cellulolytic bacteria from the feces of anoa, bison, muntjak, and Timor deer. This … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 4 · 30 Oct 2023 · 5,656 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 abstractLong-Term Characterization of Landfill Leachate: Impacts of the Tropical Climate on its CompositionJorge Luiz da Paixão Filho, Miriam Gonçalves MiguelThe disposal of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) in sanitary landfills produces leachate, whose composition changes depending on the microbial community and the environmental conditions. However, these changes cannot be observed in sanitary landfill because of the superposition of cells, which makes it difficult to determinate the relationship among the phases of biodegradation of MSW, the composition of the leachate and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 14 Mar 2017 · 8,578 accessesView PDFCite
Research NotesOpen accessIn the abstractPolymerisation and Oxidation of Docosahexaenoic AcidBrian Mundell Ross, Shelly Lynn Browning, Adrian McKeeOils rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, such as linseed oil, can oxidise to form polymers. These can be used as protective coatings and act as an alternative to those derived from petrochemicals. Such renewable source oils usually require the addition of metal ions as catalysts of the polymerisation process and/or the partial pre-oxidation of the oil before use. We hypothesised … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 11 Dec 2015 · 7,621 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIMPROVED PREDICTION FOR MEDIUM OPTIMIZATION USING FACTORIAL SCREENING FOR DOCOSAHEXAENOIC ACID PRODUCTION BY SCHIZOCHYTRIUM SP. SW1Vidyah Manikan, Mohd Sahaid Kalil, Mohd Hafez Mohd Isa, Aidil Abdul HamidDocosa Hexaenoic Acid (DHA) is an essential fatty acid that plays major role in human health. It is typically extracted from fatty fish and this puts pressure on global fish stock. DHA obtained from fish is also prone to contamination. Schizochytrium is a potential alternative source, having the ability of accumulating considerable amounts of DHA. Modification of medium components and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 15 Jan 2014 · 7,845 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIdentification of Pseudozyma hubeiensis Y10BS025 as a Potent Producer of Glycolipid Biosurfactant Mannosylerythritol lipidsMartha Sari, Atit Kanti, I. Made Artika, Wien KusharyotoMannosylerythritol Lipids (MEL’s) are glycolipid biosurfactants that contain 4-O-β-D-mannopyranosyl-meso-erythritol as a hydrophilic moiety and fatty acids as a hydrophobic moiety. MEL’s are abundantly produced by several kinds of microorganism and are one of the most promising biosurfactants currently known. The search for a novel endogenous producer of MEL’s was undertaken based on the available collection of the yeast strains from … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 20 Dec 2013 · 8,103 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBIOCHEMICAL STUDIES ON NIGERIAN MONODORA TENUIFOLIA SEEDEkeanyanwu Raphael Chukwuma, Njoku Obioma UzomaThe nutritive constituents of the seeds of Monodora tenuifolia were analyzed to augment the available information on Monodora tenuifolia research. Blood glucose and lipid profile were investigated on the flavonoid rich fraction of M. tenuifolia in rats. The composition (gkg-1) of alkaloids, cyanogenic glycosides, tannins and flavonoids were 13.3±0.1, 21.2×10-2±0.6, 1.3±0.1, 1.7±0.1 and 11.7±1.1 respectively. The proximate composition (gkg-1) of … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 30 Sep 2013 · 7,575 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHepatoprotective Effect of Vitamin EElias Adikwu, Brambaifa NelsonDrugs and some chemical agents are known to induce hepatotoxicity in humans which is of great concern to clinicians. Chemical agents are been screen daily for their hepatoprotective properties. Among these chemical agents is vitamin E which has drawn wide attention due to it reported hepatoprotective property as reported by researchers. This study collected and evaluated reports to ascertain the … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 15 Mar 2013 · 8,006 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRegulation of Retinol Binding Protein 4 Expression and its Relation to Adipogenesis in Bovine AdipocytesMabrouk Ragab EL-Sabagh, Abd Eldaim Mabrouk AttiaAdipogenesis is of great importance in beef cattle. Recent findings indicate that glucose, a substrate for fatty acid biosynthesis and retinoic acid enhance adipogenesis in bovine intramuscular adipocytes. However, other recent findings indicate that Retinol-Binding Protein 4 (RBP4) interferes with glucose uptake and utilization by rodents’ adipocytes. In this study we examined the regulation of RBP4 expression and its relation … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 20 Sep 2012 · 8,404 accessesView PDFCite
