The production of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) by Bacillus sp. is most often growth associated and is influenced by various physico-chemical parameters. Imbalanced nutrient conditions were often found to result in sporulation and low PHB production in Bacillus sp. In the present investigation, Bacillus mycoides DFC1 strain isolated from garden soil was studied for PHB production in glucose–peptone...

The thermal stability and IgE binding of raw and boiled shrimp extracts and the tropomyosins (TM) have not been reported. In this study, we compare the stability of raw and boiled shrimp TM of Litopenaeus vannamei and evaluate how boiling may alter the allergenicity of L. vannamei. Extracts were prepared from raw and boiled shrimp and analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electr...

in order to study the effect of vermicompost and nitrogen fixing bacteria on seed yield, yield components of seed and essential oil content of coriander (coriandrum sativum), an experiment was conducted as factorial experiment in the base of randomized complete blocks design with eight treatments and three replications at research field of agriculture company of ran in firouzkuh of iran in 2012...

A mutant ofAlternaria tagetica with altered regulation of sporulation was obtained. Wildtype strains require light to sporulate whereas the mutant sporulated in the absence of light. Sporulation of the mutant was unaffected by culture plate sealing which inhibited the wildtype 99-100%. Absorption of CO2 from the atmosphere within the plates via KOH counteracted wildtype inhibition by plate seal...

boraginaceae family is known as a medicinal plant classified in dicotyledons.  it is originated from asia (middle east). the aim of this study was to evaluate ingredient between 4 species of boraginaceae family based on physiological & phytochemical traits as well as seed fatty acid contents.  4 species (e. russicum, e. italicum, e. amoenum, and b. officinalis ) were evaluated carefully. all se...

Drying procedures employed for potato peels (both raw and boiled) may adversely affect the useful bioactivecomponents present in them. This study envisaged identification of a feasible drying procedure handlingbulk peel waste maximising retention phytochemicals powder. The total phenols (TP), flavonoids (TF) antioxidant capacity (TAC) were assessed three commercial one newly developed anthocyan...

Grass pea (Lathyrus sativus L.) is one of the most important food legumes in countries like Bangladesh, India and Ethiopia. The legume is nutritious, rich in protein (28-32%) and contains good quantities of essential amino acids. Consumption of Lathyrus sativus seeds has been associated for more than 2000 years with neurolathyrim caused by the nearotoxin ß-ODAP (ß-N-Oxalyl-L-α, ßdiaminopropioni...
