Azolla filiculoides L. as a source of metal-tolerant microorganisms

Biodiesel Production from Azolla filiculoides (Water Fern)

Purpose: To assess the potential of Azolla filiculoides, total body collected from a rice farm in northern Iran as source for biodiesel production. Methods: Solvent extraction using Soxhlet apparatus with chloroform-methanol (2:1 v/v) solvent blend was used to obtain crude oil from freeze-dried the Azolla plant. Acid-catalyzed transesterification was used to convert fatty acids (FA), monoglycer...

Phytodegradation potential of bisphenolA from aqueous solution by Azolla Filiculoides

Many organic hazardous pollutants such as bisphenolA (BPA) which are toxic and not easily biodegradable can concerns for environmental pollution worldwide. The objective of this study was to examine whether Azolla Filiculoides is able to remove BPA from aqueous solutions. In this study, the Azolla with different biomass (0.3, 0.6, 0.9, 1.2 g) has been cultured in solution that was contained 5, ...

Effect of Aqueous Extract of Azolla Filiculoides in Gastric Mucosa of Ulcerated Rats

Objective: To investigate the anti ulcer effect of aqueous extract of Azolla filiculoides (AF) in experimentally induced gastric ulceration in male Wistar rats. Methods: Twenty four rats were divided into four groups of six rats in each group. The group I and III rats were fed with standard diet, whereas, group II and IV rats were pre-treated orally with aqueous extract of Azolla filiculoides (...
