Achromobacter animicus (A. animicus) is an aerobic, motile, gram-negative, non-fermenting small bacillus that can also grow anaerobically with potassium nitrate. It has been isolated from sputum of humans suffering from respiratory infections. Literature regarding the role of A. animicus in wound infections is limited. We report a first case of a chronic post-traumatic wound infection caused by...

The investigation was undertaken to enhance the decomposition process by pre-treatment of rice stubble, having higher concentration of lignin. Air-dried rice stubble was treated with 1.8 liter of 1% NaOH and autoclaved. Six cellulolytic fungi, Trichoderma harzianum, Penicillium citrinum, Curvularia lunata, Aspergillus flavus and Alternaria alternata were grown in basal synthetic medium along wi...

L-alanine potassium nitrate (LAPN) single crystal was grown by slow evaporation solution growth technique. The lattice parameters of the crystals were determined X-ray diffraction Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) study reveals that functional groups present in crystal. UV-Vis-NIR studies carried out to find transmittance and other optical parameters. Vicker’s microhardness test estimate mecha...

An equation for stripping polarographyis derived,relating the half-wave potential (E:ll), ligand concentration, and dissociation constant of a complexed metal ion. This equation is similar to that for classical polarography, but contains an additional term which makes Ezz a linear function of the logarithm of the time. A computer-assisted system for generating stripping polarographic curves is ...
