This study explores the potentials of Brachystegia eurycoma coagulant (BEC) and Vigna subterranean (VSC) as natural organic polymers (NOPs) for decolourisation Crystal Ponceau 6R (AR 44) in wastewater. Materials characterisation studies were done on precursors. A detailed kinetics was employed. The procedures evaluated through time-dependent reduction concentration particles, with variation ind...

A novel 'white' laccase was purified from the deuteromycete fungus, Myrothecium verrucaria NF-05, which was a high laccase-producing strain (40.2 U·ml(-1) on the thirteenth day during fermentation). SDS-PAGE and native-PAGE revealed a single band with laccase activity corresponding to a molecular weight of approximately 66 kDa. The enzyme had three copper and one iron atoms per protein molecule...

Recently while experimenting with solutions of various dye stuffs on kala-azar serum, we observed that when solutions of methylene blue were left in contact with kala-azar serum, the dye gradually decolourised. We have tried out various strengths of methylene blue solutions varying from 1 in 2,000 to 1 in 80,000 and obtained the most satisfactory results when working with a solution of 1 in 40,...
