Antibacterial activity of two cyanobacterial strains i.e. Nostoc polludosum and Cylindrospermum licheniforme was studied. Both cyanobacterial strains were isolated from agricultural fields of Varanasi, India. Crude extracts of both strains in five solvents i.e. Ethanol, Petroleum ether, Acetone, Methanol, and Chloroform were screened against two human pathogenic bacteria i.e. S. aureus and E. c...

Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is a popular spice which used for the treatment of different gastrointestinal and inflammatory discomfort. In present study, total phenolic content (TPC) antioxidant activity ginger extract using four solvents (ethanol, methanol, acetone, ethyl acetate) were determined. Among solvents, methanol showed maximum (1183.813 mg GAE/100 g at Ayikel 1022.409 Mandura) least ...

in this study antioxidant activity of the red algae (hypnea hamulosa) was investigated in the invitro condition. the measurement included total phenolic content, ferric reducing power, dpph radical scavenging activity and total antioxidant activity. seaweed samples with the ratio of 1:20 (algae: solvent) were extracted using conventional solvent extraction method for 24 hours. the applied solve...

In this study, the carbyne complex, OsCl3(=CCH2CMe3)(PH3)2, structural, themochemical andelectronic properties were studied in solution and gas phases. For this investigation, the chosensolvents were five solvents (methanol, acetone, ethanol, DMSO, nitromethane) with variouspolarities. The influence of solvent polarity on the thermodynamic, structural, solvation energyparameters and frontier or...

In this study, antioxidant and antimicrobial potentials of Usnea intermedia, U. filipendula, and U. fulvoreagens and their stictic and usnic acid contents were investigated. Antioxidant activity and total phenolic contents were evaluated in acetone, ethanol, and methanol extracts of these three species. Antioxidant activity was measured by ABTS [2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic...

A hypothermic state represents intense stress accompanied by a massive release of catecholamines. Their estimation can be used to confirm this mechanism of death. We investigated four cases of fatal hypothermia and 12 controls with short and longer agonies on which were performed estimations of adrenaline/noradrenaline and volatile substances (ethanol, methanol, propanol-1, -2, acetone). – In c...

Processes for the biotechnological production of kerosene and diesel blendstocks are often economically unattractive due to low yields and product titers. Recently, Clostridium acetobutylicum fermentation products acetone, butanol, and ethanol (ABE) were shown to serve as precursors for catalytic upgrading to higher chain-length molecules that can be used as fuel substitutes. To produce suitabl...
