This paper describes the use of Pichia pastoris X-33 as a bioremediator to reduce the chemical oxygen demand (COD), total Kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN), and phosphorus (P-PO(4) (3-)), after culture in parboiled rice effluent supplemented with p.a. glycerol or a glycerol by-product of the biodiesel industry. The greatest reduction in the COD (55%), TKN (45%), and P-PO(4) (3-) (52%) of the effluent was...

When primary domestic sewage sludge was combined with settled sewage or secondary-treatment plant effluent, synergism resulted. The activity (measured by oxygen uptake, and the removal of Kjeldahl nitrogen and orthophosphate from solution) which resulted from incubating sludge together with settled sewage exceeded the sum of the activities when these components were incubated separately. A simi...

Aeschynomene aspera L. is a wild annual legume growing in periodically waterlogged soils in Manipur, India with profuse stem nodulation. Nodules are formed on the stem at the emergence of lateral root primordia, called nodulation sites. They are distributed on vertical rows all along the stem and branches. Stem nodules are hemispherical in shaped, dark green outside and contain a red-pigmented ...

Trenholm for their supportive efforts throughout this learning experience. I give special thanks to Dr. Shober, my committee chair, for her encouragement, direction and commitment. I am also appreciative to Gitta Shurberg for her assistance in the field as well as laboratory. Abstract. Urban soils have highly variable chemical, physical, and biological properties compared to undisturbed natural...

The conversion factor of nitrogen to proteins and isoflavones present in Glycine maxwas determined. For the determination factor, we worked with solubilizing at alkaline pH then extracting them acidic pH. were identified by Kjeldahl method. antioxidant capacity was determined after their glycosides through Soxhlet method, using Brand Williams method (DPPH). results indicate that protein 5.85, m...

Abstract This study aims to evaluate the quality of riparian habitats based on index (QBR), tree vegetation (community structure and Naturalness index), anthropogenic activity (Hemeroby Index) their relationship water in some waterfall spring ecosystems Bawean Island. Ex Post Facto was conducted six (Candi, Putri, Suwari, Talomon, Laccar Kuduk Kuduk) two (Kuduk Laccar). Analysis at each locatio...
