Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleUtilization of Banana, Pineapple and Watermelon Wastes-Substrate: As Consortiums to Remediating Cyanide Polluted SoilFlorence Obiageli Nduka, Samuel Chibuike Ubani, Victor Eshu Okpashi et al.The act of processing cassava for varied food products has come with unguided and wide-spread contamination of cyanide in the environment. The need for effective reduction in cost to enable remediation of cyanide-contaminated sites from cassava mill factories is the purpose of this investigation. This involves bio-stimulation of organic wastes with indigenous microorganisms to degrade cyanide. The application of organic … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2018 · 9,930 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsKinetic Models for Anaerobic Fermentation Processes-A ReviewEmmanuel Amagu EchieguA review of basic kinetic models describing the generation of biomass and utilization of substrates in anaerobic fermentation processes is presented as well as the stoichiometric and empirical models for the prediction of biogas production. The applications of these models to anaerobic reactor systems such as the CSTR, activated sludge, plug flow reactor, etc are also presented. These models are … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 24 Jul 2015 · 8,316 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBioethanol Production from Graminoid Weeds in Bayero University Kano: A Potential Feedstock for Future Sustainable Aviation Fuel ApplicationsAdam Salihu Kila, Sa’idu Hassan Musa, Umar Aliyu Ahmed et al.This study evaluates the potential of selected graminoid weeds from Bayero University, Kano (BUK), Nigeria, as feedstock for bioethanol production. Ten (10) abundant weed species, including Cenchrus species, Cynodon dactylon, and Setaria barbata, were subjected to physicochemical pretreatment (ultrasonication, hydrothermal treatment, and enzymatic hydrolysis) followed by fermentation using Bacillus subtilis, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and their co-culture. Pretreatment significantly enhanced reducing sugar … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 15 Jul 2026 · 1,170 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Adding Cellulose on Lipid Accumulation in Cellobiohydrolase and Delta-6 Desaturase Engineered Mucor circinelloides StrainsYao Zhang, Yanxia Wang et al.Despite microbial production of multifunctional gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) being an important and promising way, the high cost is still a major factor limiting industrial applications. Previously, we proposed a novel approach to promote the production of GLA from cellulose, a widely available and cheapest resource, by overexpression of the cellobiohydrolase (CBH2) and delta-6 desaturase (D6) in Mucor circinelloides. In the … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 19, Issue 3 · 13 Oct 2023 · 4,731 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigation of the Photoheterotrophic Hydrogen Production of Rhodobacter sphaeroides KCTC 1434 using Volatile Fatty Acids under Argon and Nitrogen HeadspaceRuby Lynn G. Ventura, Jey-R S. Ventura, Young-Sook OhIn this study, the photo fermentative H2 production of Rhodobacter sphaeroides KCTC 1434 was investigated using acetate, propionate and butyrate under argon and nitrogen headspace gases. The highest H2 yield and Substrate Conversion Efficiency (SCE) were observed from butyrate (8.84 mol H2/mol butyrate consumed, 88.42% SCE) and propionate (6.10 mol H2/mol propionate consumed, 87.16% SCE) under Ar headspace. Utilization of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 6 · 30 Nov 2016 · 9,058 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCarbon Dioxide Utilization for an Enhanced Biohydrogen Production of a Biomass HydrolysateAlma Negre Abug, Young Sook OhBio-hydrogen (H2) production in a thermophilic anaerobic bioreactor with carbon dioxide (CO2) utilization at the headspace was investigated at different ratio of Biomass substrate to Microorganism (B/M). A 3 mL volume of 80% NaOH (m/v) solution was continuously hung at the headspace of the bioreactors to capture carbon dioxide. The utilization of CO2 at its headspace, proved to enhance bio … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 9 Aug 2016 · 7,229 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCOMBINATION OF CONVENTIONAL AND IN-SILICO APPROACH FOR IDENTIFYING AN INDUSTRIALLY IMPORTANT ISOLATE OF AEROMONASThungri Ghoshal, Sourav Ghosh, Amrita Saha et al.Ammonia is required for various commercial applications while its production by standard process is immensely energy intense. Dairy industry on the other hand produces huge volume of effluent needing treatment before discharge. This study aims at developing an eco-friendly microbial approach for conversion of dairy industry effluent into ammonia under atmospheric pressure and 37°C temperature at laboratory scale. Thus the … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 26 Feb 2014 · 7,921 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 · 8,399 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPesticide-Tolerant Bacteria Isolated from Agricultural Canals in the Lower Rio Grande Valley of South TexasSandra Puente Aguirre, Kristine L. LoweAtrazine and oxamyl are commonly-used pesticides in the Lower Rio Grande Valley of South Texas. Problem statement: Pesticides may become environmental contaminants due to overuse, runoff and other mechanisms and may impact non-target organisms and ecosystems. Pesticides may be degraded by indigenous microorganisms or by abiotic means. In this study, waterborne bacteria from agricultural canals were examined to assess potential … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,610 accessesView PDFCite
