Banana besides its nutritive value the biomass can be used as resources for natural fibre. North east India and Assam in particular has a vast potential of extraction and value addition of natural fibre, especially from banana. Banana farming generates huge quantities of biomass most of which goes as waste due to non‐availability of suitable technology for its commercial utilization. Banana fib...

BACK GROUND For enzyme production, the costs of solid state fermentation (SSF) techniques were lower and the production higher than submerged cultures. A large number of fungal species was known to grow well on moist substrates, whereas many bacteria were unable to grow under this condition. Therefore, the aim of this study was to isolate a highly efficient strain of Bacillus sp utilizing wheat...

A total of 48 endophytic bacteria were isolated from surface-sterilized tissues of the medicinal plant Lonicera japonica, which is grown in eastern China; six strains were selected for further study based on their potential ability to promote plant growth in vitro (siderophore and indoleacetic acid production). The bacteria were characterized by phylogenetically analyzing their 16S rRNA gene si...

An unprecedented macrocyclic dimeric diterpene containing a C2 symmetry axis was isolated from Acacia schaffneri . This compound, named schaffnerine, was characterized as (5S,7S,8R,9R,10S,17S,5'S,7'S,8'R,9'R,10'S,17'S)-7,8:7,17':16,17:17,7':7',8':16',17'-hexaepoxy-7,8-seco-7',8'-seco-dicassa-13,13'-diene (1) from its spectroscopic data. Comparison of its experimental vibrational circular dichro...

Solid state fermentation of banana peels by Bacillus spp for pectinase production was investigated using standard methods. Optimum conditions that affect the growth and microorganism such as incubation temperature ( 35OC), inoculum size 3.00mL), period (24h), pH (7), substrate concentration (30g) additional nitrogen source (0,30%) were determined employed in . Results enzyme measured activity a...

abstractl density functional theory (dft) was used to investigate the effects of intra-moecular interactions and implicit water molecules on the relative stability and the nmr shielding tensors of hallucinogenic harmine in the monomeric and dimeric states. results represented that the relative stability and the nmr shielding tensors are dependent on the resonance interactions and chemical envir...

About thirty-five percent of coffee pulp waste is pectin. It may potentially be a source to used in the bioprocessing industry. For example, it can as substrate produce pectinase from microorganisms under solid-state fermentation (SSF). In this investigation, an isolated fungus VTM4 with density 10 7 spores/mL was grown on medium-based, and after 0-168 hours incubation at 30 °C, activity detect...
