Background and Objectives: Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp bulgaricus is widely used in dairy industries as a starter for yogurt production. This study was designed using response surface methodology (RSM) in 12 batch pH-controlled cultures of Lactobacillus delbrueckii sub-ssp. bulgaricus for determining the effect of temperature and pH on the biomass production of a native strain of L. bulgaricu...

the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of enrichment of artemia with sea weed extract (padina sp.) on the survival and growth rates of post larvae of western white shrimp (litopenaeus vannamei). this investigation was conducted in the shrimp research center, bushehr, iran. the experimental design was done in three dietary treatments with three replications which were conducted in 9 w...

objective(s): umbilical cord blood is a good source of the mesenchymal stem cells that can be banked, expanded and used in regenerative medicine.  the objective of this study was to test whether amniotic membrane extract, as a rich source of growth factors such as basic-fibroblast growth factor, can promote the proliferation potential of the umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells. materials and ...

The increase of copper oxide nanoparticle (CuO-NP) utilization in industry during recent years has resulted in their entry into aquatic ecosystems. In light of this fact, we have studied the toxicity of CuO-NPs at various concentrations on Chlorella vulgaris using an algal growth inhibition test (OECD201). Chlorella vulgaris was grown in positive Zander (Z-8 + N) media in a growth chamber. Afte...

cellular and tissue activities highly depend on environmental ph. murine lung tissue, when cultured properly in-vitro, is a potent producer of hematopoietic growth factors. we have studied the effect of ph on the production of hematopoietic growth factors and protein synthesis by the murine lung in-vitro. various concentrations of nahc03 were used to adjust the ph of the culture medium under co...

abstarct at the present study effects of salinity were studied on growth and feeding performance, survival rate and blood biochemical parameters of pre on-growing rainbow trout (oncorhynchus mykiss) with initial weight 93.22±4.11 g for 60 days. after adaptation for 10 days to water salinity, 450 fish were distributed in 5 treatments and 3 replicates according to completely randomized design. be...

evaluation of carbon sequestration ability by chlorella vulgaris in water with different salinity expanded abstractintroductionnowadays, cultivation of microalgae in order to reduce co2 has gained attention all around the world. one of the outstanding features is that photosynthetic efficiency of microalgae is greater than that of terrestrial plants. carbon dioxide (co2) has been known as one o...

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of replacing fish meal protein with fermented soybean meal (FSM) in diets on growth performance, feed utilization, morphological parameters, body composition, activities of antioxidant and digestive enzymes and also blood biochemistry of juvenile olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus). Five isonitrogenic and isolipidic diets were prepare...
