Escherichia coli can grow aerobically in defined media containing inorganic salts and any one of a wide range of carbon compounds. Whatever the nature of the carbon source. it is fed into the amphibolic pathways [glycolysis, pentose phosphate pathway, Krebs (tricarboxylic acid) cyclel, from which stem all the biosynthetic pathways required for making the components of new cell material. The ope...

Quantitative and qualitative relationships were found between secreted proteins and their activity, and the hyphal morphology of Moniliophthora perniciosa, the causal agent of witches' broom disease in Theobroma cacao. This fungus was grown on fermentable and non-fermentable carbon sources; significant differences in mycelial morphology were observed and correlated with the carbon source. A bio...

In this paper we consider the selection of controlled variables for two vapour compression cycles. One is a conventional sub-critical ammonia cooling cycle and the other is a trans-critical CO2 cooling cycle. The two cycles have quite different operational properties. For the ammonia cycle we find that several simple control structures gives acceptable performance in terms of achieving in pract...

The BLOLOG redox technology based on tetrazolium dye reduction as an indicator of sole-carbon-source utilization was evaluated as a rapid, community-level method to characterize and classify heterotrophic microbial communities. Direct incubation of whole environmental samples (aquatic, soil, and rhizosphere) in BIOLOG plates containing 95 separate carbon sources produced community-dependent pat...

Anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides Penz.) Penz. and Sacc. is one of the most important diseases of mango. The nutritional studies were taken up to know the best source of carbon and nitrogen required for the growth and sporulation of the fungus. The study indicated that out of six different carbon sources tried, mannitol was found to be the best source of carbon for the growth...

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT)-doped TiO2 thin films were synthesized by the dip-coating method. The obtained products were characterized by SEM, EDX, XRD, and UV-vis absorption spectroscopy. The XRD patterns showed the presence of anatase phase. Absorption spectrum of MWCNT-doped TiO2 revealed a red shift in the optical absorption edge due to carbon doping. The photocatalytic properties...

Abstract The southeastern Amazon has recently been shown to be a net carbon source, which is partly caused by drying conditions. Drying depends on number of factors, one the land cover at locations where moisture originated as evaporation. Here we assess for first time origins that precipitates in source region, using output from Lagrangian atmospheric tracking model. We relate vegetation produ...

The C1-compound monomethylamine can serve as a nitrogen, carbon, and energy source for heterotrophic bacteria. The marine alphaproteobacterium Donghicola sp. strain KarMa can use monomethylamine as a source only for nitrogen and not for carbon. Its draft genome sequence is presented here and reveals putative gene clusters for the methylamine dehydrogenase and the N-methylglutamate pathways for ...

Recycling trend has transformed the prerequisites of our cravings. Makeover waste material into useful goods become inevitable. Bio shares a major portion materials, hence pursued for recycling. Activated carbon from bio been reported remarkable in electrochemical performance (capacitance, charge density, charge-discharge ratio etc.). This survey data compiled different wastes as source activat...
