Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleMicrobial Activities as Affected by Peat Dryness and AmeliorantEdi Husen, Fahmuddin AgusProblem statement: Acceleration of microbial activities and thus of CO2 emission in drained peat soils used for agriculture, is of the main environmental concern. The objectives of this study were to (i) examine microbial activities in peat samples treated with different levels of water contents and ameliorants and (ii) evaluate the relative contribution of microbial groups to peat respiration. Approach: … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 29 Sep 2011 · 7,546 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleThe Phytochemical Contents and Antimicrobial Activities of Malaysian Calophyllum RubiginosumSuhaib Ibrahim ALkhamaiseh, Muhammad Taher, Farediah AhmadProblem statement: Many species of plants in Malaysia are widely used in folk medicine. However, Calophyllum species have been used in traditional medicine for their therapeutic values for many years. Several studies reported that antimicrobial, antifungal, anti-HIV and anti-cancer compounds were isolated from numerous Calophyllum species. Approach: The stem bark was extracted by EtOH, after with it was fractionated with … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 25 Mar 2011 · 7,573 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsInfluence of Decreasing Temperature on Soil Microbial Activity in a Boreal Shield EcozoneAlistar Moy, Kabwe NkongoloAlthough the focus on warming is imperative to address climate change, addressing the effects of cooling is arguably just as relevant in characterizing the enzyme response to temperature fluctuations. In this study, the response of enzyme activity to diminishing temperatures in the field was evaluated. The targeted sites were located in the City of Greater Sudbury in Northern Ontario, Canada. … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 2 · 17 Apr 2022 · 6,660 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsGreenhouse Gas Emissions: Quantifying Methane Emissions from LivestockRafiu O. Yusuf, Zainura Z. Noor, Ahmad H. Abba et al.Problem statement: The rearing of animals for domestic consumption and export invariably lead to the production of methane as a product of digestion. This study investigated the emission of methane from Malaysian livestock between 1980 and 2008. Approach: Seven categories of animals identified were camel, buffalo, sheep, goats, horse, pigs and poultry. The estimation of methane was based on the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2012 · 9,538 accessesView PDFCite
Literature ReviewOpen accessIn the abstractRumen Microbiota Mysteries: Nutrition, Function, and its Impact on Livestock ProductivityHamdi Mayulu, Marry ChristiyantoRuminants are important herbivores in the global food system, serving as primary producers of meat and milk. The productivity of these animals is influenced by the functionality of their digestive organs, namely rumen. The digestion, metabolism and nutrients absorption in the rumen epithelium enhance the host defende mechanisms mechanisms, promoting health and productivity in ruminants. Therefore, this review aimed to … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 2 · 4 Aug 2025 · 4,069 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Soil Storage at Freezing Temperatures on Soil Enzymatic ActivitiesAinsley Lougheed, Kabwe NkongoloSoil enzyme activities are good indicators of soil health. It has been hypothesized that soil storage before analysis might affect microbial function. The objective of the present study was to determine if soil storage at -20 and -80°C affects soil enzymatic activities. Soil samples were collected and stored for four weeks at -20 and -80°C. Activities of nine enzymes were … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 20, Issue 3 · 12 Aug 2024 · 4,984 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Overview of the Antimicrobial Activity of Some Microbial EnzymesAkram N. Salah, Hayam Atallah AlwabsiEnzymes are substances produced by living organisms that are used to catalyze some biological and biochemical reactions as they either catalyze some types of polysaccharides and proteins or lyse complex materials such as polymers and lipids. Microbial enzymes are defined as the enzymes that can be extracted and purified from bacterial strains such as Bacillus spp., Pseudomonas spp., Streptomyces, or … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 20, Issue 2 · 11 Jun 2024 · 6,081 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiosurfactants in the Halal Economy: Sustainable Solutions for Food, Pharma, and BeyondKanokphorn Sangkharak, Suppasil Maneerat, Aem Nuylert et al.Biosurfactants, microbial surface-active compounds, are gaining attention as sustainable, biocompatible alternatives to synthetic surfactants. Their properties, including emulsification, foaming, and antimicrobial activities, enable diverse applications in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. With increasing demand for halal-certified products, biosurfactants offer potential as halal ingredients, provided they are produced using compliant strains, substrates, and processing methods. This review examines the production of … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 3 · 7 Aug 2026 · 1,142 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIn vitro Ruminal Cumulative Gas and Methane Production, Enzyme Activity, Fermentation Profile and Nutrient Digestibility on Feed Supplemented with Organic SeleniumMoh. Sofi’ul Anam, Andriyani Astuti, Budi Prasetyo Widyobroto et al.Methane (CH4) emissions are indeed a global environmental concern and ruminants are a significant source of these emissions; however, there is limited understanding regarding the contribution of organic Selenium (Se) in mitigating CH4 emissions. Hence, this study investigated the impact of supplementing organic Se from Selenomethionine (Se-Met) on the in vitro ruminal cumulative gas and CH4 production, fermentation profile, enzyme … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 4 · 26 Oct 2023 · 5,215 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractScreening of Dominant Cellulose-Degrading Microbe in Humus and Optimisation of its Enzyme Producing Conditions and Application Optimization of Enzyme Production Conditions and Evaluation of Efficient Straw Degradation by Penicillium oxalicumGailing Wang, Chendi Li, Yanan Guo et al.The slow degradation of returned straw adversely affects seedling survival rate. To shorten the degradation time of lignin in maize straw in warm temperate regions, a cellulolytic microbial strain that can secrete polymer with high enzymatic activity was isolated from the humus, which helped to identify an effective strain to expedite the decomposition of returned maize straw. Using the molecular … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 19, Issue 2 · 23 May 2023 · 5,300 accessesView PDFCite
