Cellulose is the most abundant biopolymer on earth, recognized as the major component of plant biomass. The cellulolytic microorganisms were isolated from gut of earthworm (Eisenia foetida). Using Glycerol asparagine agar media, the organisms were identified as Actinomycetes sps.. The endoglucanase activity of the culture broth was determined during actinomycetes growth by measuring the release...

Nanomaterials are extensively studied in electrochemical energy storage and conversion systems because of their structural advantages. However, their volumetric energy density still needs improvement due to the high surface area, especially the carbon based nanocomposites. Constructing hierarchical micro-scaled materials from closely stacked subunits is proposed as an effective way to solve the...

The extremely halophilic archaeon Natrinema sp. strain SSBJUP-1, which produces extracellular cellulase and xylanase, was isolated from the Lonar Lake situated in Buldhana, Maharashtra. The enzymes were optimally active at pH 9–10 and temperature 40–60 C and they were most stable up to pH 11 and 16 % of NaCl concentration. The xylanase showed maximum activity at 50C and cellulase at 40C. Xylana...

The aim of current study was to determine intercropping forage turnip “FT” with cereals “C” (barley, “B”, wheat “W” and oat “O”) for herbage yield competitive ratios in Bilecik conditions 2019-2002 2020-2021 growing periods. Plants were sown as sole 3 different mixtures (75FT+25C%, 50FT+50C% 25FT+75C %). Experiments arranged a randomized complete block design three replications. In the study, y...

Studies were conducted to develop an appropriate household/small scale enterprise level technique for the production of bambara-nut-fortified fermented maize dough or meal by comparing different treatments, processing methods and fortification levels. The effect of fortification of maize based traditional foods with legume protein, bambara-nut at 0%. 10% and 20% replacement levels, on the rate ...
