field experiments were conducted in amirkabir sugarcane agro-industry (khuzestan province, iran) farms to evaluate the efficacy of integrated chemical and mechanical methods in controlling weeds. experiments were carried out in a split plot-randomized complete blocks design with four replications. the main plot consisted of four mechanical treatments, namely: hilling up, sweep cultivator, disc ...

Bioethanol was produced from the three different agro-industrial biomass residues, i.e., sugarcane bagasse (SB), rice husk (RH) and corn cob (CC)) at 35°C, 120hr with 90g of each substrate. 2% H2SO4 used for hydrolysis samples while 3g yeast (saccharomyces cerevisiae) fermentation. Simple distillation fermented broth. The concentration reducing sugar ethanol, quantity bioethanol as well physica...

The selection of sugarcane varieties is an important problem facing companies in Brazil that exploit sugarcane harvest for energy production. In the light of current concerns regarding the reduction of environmental damages and the efficiency of the production system, research into this problem is called for. In this context the authors begin by outlining the sugarcane variety selection in acco...

Here, we present the draft genome sequence of Saccharomyces cerevisiae BG-1, a Brazilian industrial strain widely used for bioethanol production from sugarcane. The 11.7-Mb genome sequence consists of 216 scaffolds and harbors 5,607 predicted protein-coding genes.

Microbial production of antimicrobials as biopreservatives is the major area of focus nowadays due to increased interest of consumers towards natural and safe preservation of ready to eat food products. The agro-industrial byproduct based medium and optimized process conditions can contribute in economical production of bacteriocins. Keeping this in view, the present investigation was carried o...

In the present study, a variety of agro-industrial wastes have been utilized for meaningful purpose to produce valuable biocatalyst. All wastes used were low cost and easily accessible while, some available throughout the year. A number of bacterial strains isolated from rotten fruits and vegetables were screened for the production of industrially important polygalacturonase (PGase) using pecti...

The phosphorus (P) in agro-industrial by-products--a potential source of freshwater eutrophication but also a valuable fertilizer--needs to be speciated to evaluate its fate in the environment. We investigated to what extent X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy at the P K- and L2.3-edges reflected differences in sequentially extracted filter cakes from sugarcane (Saccharum ...

Sugarcane is one of the main agro-industrial products consumed worldwide, and, therefore, use suitable soils a key factor to maximize its production. As result, need evaluate soil matrices, including many physical, chemical, and biological parameters, determine soil’s aptitude for growing food crops increases. Machine learning techniques were used perform an in-depth analysis physicochemical in...
