The potential of microalgae as renewable energy feedstock for biofuel production is well recognized in developing countries and it is a large source of biomass for capturing CO2 on non-arable lands. In the current studies photobioreactor with 2 L capacity was used and operated with generator exhaust gases for algal CO2 sequestration. The reactor operated on generator exhaust gases with CO2 rang...

introduction the plant hormones such as salicylic acid and gibberellin can affect the quantity and quality of crops. external application of plant growth regulators as a strategy for improving salt tolerance in plants is discussed. foreign salicylic acid can regulate antioxidant enzyme activity and increase plant resistance to abiotic stresses. salicylic acid reduction due to ethylene through t...

Wistar albino rats were exposed to 30 or 100 ppm fluoride in drinking water during their fetal, weanling and post-weaning stages of life up to puberty. Extent of lipid peroxidation and response of the antioxidant systems in red blood cells and plasma to prolonged fluoride exposure were assessed in these rats in comparison to the control rats fed with permissible level (0.5 ppm) of fluoride. Rat...

to study the effect of foliar application of humic acid on morpho-physiological traits, nutrients uptake and postharvest vase life of cut marigold, an experiment was conducted with five levels of humic acid (0, 250, 500, 750 and 1000 ppm) based on completely randomized design with three replications. based on the results, in compared with control, leaf number and leaf area, total phenol and aer...

Nucleic acid sensor based on polyaniline has been fabricated by covalently immobilizing double stranded calf thymus (dsCT) DNA onto perchlorate (ClO4 ) doped polyaniline (PANI) film deposited onto indium-tin-oxide (ITO) glass plate using 1-(3-(dimethylamino) propyl)3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC)/N-hydroxyl succinimide (NHS) chemistry. These dsCT-DNA-PANI/ITO and PANI/ITO electrodes hav...

The present study was conducted in Bangalore. It aims at studying the effect of different concentrations indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) (1000, 2000 and 3000 ppm) on V-1 mulberry cuttings with varying number buds (one, two, three four) consist twelve treatments which were replicated thrice Factorial CRD. results interaction various concentration IBA recorded best budded treated ppm regarding sprout...

Meloidogyne incognita egg masses were immersed in different concentrations of six volaule fatty acids to bioassay their toxic effect on embryonic development and hatching. Exposure to a 250 ppm aqueous solution of volatile fatty, acids completely suppressed egg hatching within 48 hours. When exposed to a 125 ppm concentration hatching was reduced 75 % by acetic acid, 91% by propionic acid, 23% ...

Liquid pig feed (LPF) and skimmed milk (SM) acidified to pH 4 with lactic or hydrochloric acid (HCl) were treated with 0, 2.5, 5. 12.5, 25 or 50 ppm Cu and challenged with 10 c.f.u ml Salmonella Typhimurium DT104:30. The decimal reduction time (D) was determined by enumeration of viable Salmonellae at appropriate time intervals after inoculation. Additional SM samples, acidified to pH 2.5 with ...
