Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEvaluation of Keratinolytic Activity Succeeds by Keratinophilic Fungi in Jaipur, IndiaVishnu Sharma, Anima Sharma, Ruchi SethEarth has innate background for fungi that cover individual kingdom since evolution. The keratinophilic fungi are allied moulds that produce the keratinase enzyme to degrade the keratinous materials in or on the soil. Keratinous materials are insoluble and resistant to degradation by common proteinase enzymes. It is important to study the microorganism producers of such enzymes for use in the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 7 · 12 Apr 2017 · 7,563 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntimicrobial Effects of 1-Monocaprylin and 1-Monocaproin Through in vitro Growth Inhibition and Molecular Docking StudiesPalaniappan Maheswari, Kasthuri Revathi1-monocaproin and 1-monocaprylin synthesized through a novel process by the chemical reaction of glycidol and their respective fatty acids with copper acetate as the catalyst possessed the amphiphilic property. 1- monoacyl glycerols synthesized were found to exhibit antibacterial, antifungal, anti parasitic and antiviral properties. 1-monocaproin and 1-monocaprylin were able to show their antibacterial effect by inhibiting the growth of the … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 19 Aug 2017 · 7,970 accessesView PDF Cite

Case ReportOpen accessIn the abstractDisseminated Fusarium Infections in Patients Receiving Posaconazole Prophylaxis: A Report of 2 Patients and Brief Review of the LiteratureJohn Byrne Fournier, Vinod Thomas, Catherine Breen et al.Fusarium is a filamentous fungi that has emerged as a frequent cause of invasive infections in immunocompromised patients. Dermatologists often play a critical role in diagnosing fusariosis, as greater than 70% of patients with disseminated infections have cutaneous involvement, and microbiologic evaluation of skin specimens provides the diagnosis in the majority of cases. Second-generation triazoles are typically the most effective … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 28 Nov 2015 · 7,364 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProduction of Biodiesel by Enzymatic Transesterification: ReviewA.E. Ghaly, D. Dave, M.S. Brooks, S. BudgeProblem Statement: The research on the production of biodiesel has increased significantly in recent years because of the need for an alternative fuel which endows with biodegradability, low toxicity and renewability. Plant oils, animal fats, microalgal oils and waste products such as animal rendering, fish processing waste and cooking oils have been employed as feedstocks for biodiesel production. In order … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 21,467 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBioaccumulation of Arsenic by FungiAdemola O. AdeyemiProblem statement: Arsenic is a known toxic element and its presence and toxicity in nature is a worldwide environmental problem. The use of microorganisms in bioremediation is a potential method to reduce as concentration in contaminated areas. Approach: In order to explore the possible bioremediation of this element, three filamentous fungi-Aspergillus niger, Serpula himantioides and Trametes versicolor were investigated for … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,890 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling of Oxygen Transfer Correlations for Stirred Tank Bioreactor Agitated with Atypical Helical Ribbon ImpellerMohd Shamzi Mohamed, Rosfarizan Mohamad, Ramakrishnan Nagasundara Ramanan et al.Problem Statement: Mixing filamentous fungi entails delicate balance between promoting high volumetric oxygen transfer coefficient (kLa) while keeping low hydrodynamic stresses in the microenvironment of cultures. This study examined the oxygen transfer capability of a prototype low shear helical impeller as a potential replacement for the standard Rushton turbine. Approach: The dependence of kLa upon specific power uptake, superficial gas … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2009 · 9,167 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSewage Treatment Plant Sludge: A Source of Potential Microorganism for Citric Acid ProductionParveen Jamal, Md. Zahangir Alam, M. Ramlan et al.This research emphasizes on the utilization of Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) sludge, which is an inexpensive and easily available raw material and a good source for growth of microorganisms because it has enough nutrients and trace elements. This can be considered as an alternative cost effective solution for waste management in addition to the production of a value added product … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2005 · 8,933 accessesView PDF Cite
