In many guppy Poecilia reticulata farms in the vicinity of Bangkok, diseases have caused longlasting fish death and consequently large cumulative mortality. Diseased guppies were collected and subjected to histopathological analysis. The analysis revealed systemic granulomatosis as a remarkable histological sign. Rod-shaped bacterial cells with strong acid-fastness were found in the granulomas....

India has a very rich diversity and plantkingdom is certainly a treasure house of diverse natural products. One such product from nature is the dye. In this study, natural colorants mainly flavonoids and carotenoids present in the Marigold flower (TageteserectaL.) were extracted using Soxhlet extraction method and other conventional techniques under different operating conditions. Spectrophotom...

In this study an attempt was made to investigate bio pretreatment and chemical process observe the effects in terms of absorbency, bursting strength, wash rubbing fastness, water, energy consumption. Four samples (S1, S2, S3 S4) were prepared by different processes then dyed with two reactive dyes. When compared chemically fabrics, biopretreated fabrics demonstrated improved abrasion resistance...

in this study, a functional colorant, berberine, extracted from berberis vulgaris wood was applied onto wool fiber using the extract of roots of rumex hymenosepolus as biomordant. the effect of treatment variables on the color strength of dyed fibers was examined. the fastness properties of dyed wool against washing, light, dry and wet rubbing were evaluated. dyed samples were tested for antiba...

Leprosy bacilli harvested from freshly biopsied tissue from cases of lepromatous, borderline and histoid leprosy were, in conjunction with Mycobacterium lepraemurium and representative mycobacteria, examined cytochemically with and without their pyridine-extractable acid-fastness. Unlike the mycobacteria, unextracted leprosy bacilli failed to give a positive response to the periodic acid Schiff...

A as textile dyes and the fastness properties of the dyed samples were measured. Most of the dyed fabrics tested displayed very good washing and perspiration fastness and series of 2-hydroxy- and 2-amino-6-substituted-5-arylazonicotinate monoazo compounds 7a-e and 9a-c were prepared via condensation of 3-oxo-3-substituted-2-arylhydrazonals 2a-e with active methylene nitriles 3a-d using microwav...

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the light fastness of selected natural dyes (madder, weld and woad) and the effect of some commonly used antioxidants and UV absorbers on the light fastness of these dyes. The photofading rate curves of madder and weld fixed on cotton correspond to type II fading rate curves described by Giles. These results are in concordance with those of Cox-Crew...

There is an increasing demand for air-dry performance of fluorocarbon finished materials. Thus, dyeing with different types of reactive, mono, bi, and multi-functional, dyes was evaluated as a novel treatment to create correct surface interface to maintain fluorocarbon performance without ironing or tumble drying. The effects of pre-treatment on fluorocarbon finishing of cotton fabric, a cellul...

The dry rind of the pomegranate (Punica granatum) has been used as dye stuff since earlier times. In the present study the dye extracts were obtained from the rinds of the P. granatum and used for dyeing the cotton fabrics. The fabrics were assessed for antimicrobial, dyeability and fastness properties. The color strength (K/S) of dyed fabric was assessed through dyeability test. The antibacter...

Now-a-days sustainability is a crucial issue in denim washing. This research initiative performed aiming to resolve the crisis of washing by process optimization technique which highlights reduction water, chemical and time as well costing garments. In this work, administered reducing several wash & application baths into single bath confirming without alteration physical properties color fastn...
