Toxicological evaluation of Cladophora glomerata Kützing and Microspora floccosa Thuret in albino rats.
This study aimed to evaluate the toxicity of Cladophora glomerata and Microspora floccosa ethanolic extracts in rats. Acute toxicity was tested with a single oral administration of the extract at a dose of 25 g/kg bd wt. Mortality, behavior, amount of food intake, body weight, and any abnormalities of the visceral organs, were observed. The results showed that the extract caused neither mortali...
متن کاملInsight into metabolic pathways of the potential biofuel producer, Paenibacillus polymyxa ICGEB2008
BACKGROUND Paenibacillus polymyxa is a facultative anaerobe known for production of hydrolytic enzymes and various important biofuel molecules. Despite its wide industrial use and the availability of its genome sequence, very little is known about metabolic pathways operative in the Paenibacillus system. Here, we report metabolic insights of an insect gut symbiont, Paenibacillus polymyxa ICGEB2...
متن کاملCan cyanobacteria be a potential PHA producer?
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are microbial polyesters produced by various microorganisms. Many of these bacteria when fed with suitable carbon sources can produce PHAs up to about 30 wt% of the cell dry weight (CDW) and a few such as Ralstonia eutropha can accumulate PHAs up to almost 90 wt% of the CDW. In cyanobacteria (blue-green algae), the PHA content is usually about 5 wt% of the CDW. In t...
متن کاملFertilizer Potential of Biofuel Byproducts
Ethanol and biodiesel production have become important industries worldwide. For example, ethanol production in the United States has increased exponentially from 6.0 billion liters in 2000 to 49 billion liters in 2010, an increase of 800% (RFA, 2011). Similarly, biodiesel production increased in the U.S. from 424 million liters in 2005 to 1,191 million liters in 2010 (NBB, 2011). These booming...
متن کاملDistinct Roles of Velvet Complex in the Development, Stress Tolerance, and Secondary Metabolism in Pestalotiopsis microspora, a Taxol Producer
The velvet family proteins have been shown to play critical roles in fungal secondary metabolism and development. However, variations of the roles have been observed in different fungi. We report here the observation on the role of three velvet complex components VeA, VelB, and LaeA in Pestalotiopsis microspora, a formerly reported taxol-producing fungus. Deletion of individual members led to t...
