A new type of slowly growing, nonphotochromogenic mycobacterium was recovered from two patients with disseminated disease. The growth characteristics, acid fastness, acids were consistent with those for Mycobacterium species. The results of biochemical investigations, lipid analyses, and comparative 16S rRNA sequencing showed that these isolates represent a new slowly growing Mycobacterium spec...

Water-repellent, self-cleaning and stain resistant textiles are of interest for industrial applications. Anthraquinone reactive dyes were covalently grafted onto cotton fabric surfaces obtaining bright colors with good wash-fastness properties and giving rise to breathable superhydrophobic textiles with self-cleaning properties.

As an investigative study, the potent bacterium Serratia marcescens SB08 was screened from enteric gut of sulfur butterfly (Kricogonia lyside). Its pigment potential tested, and identified as prodigiosin by structural studies using High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectroscopy (GC–MS), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR). Vari...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of type of alcohols and humectants in inks formulation, and the papers surface morphology on the ink-jet printing properties. In order to investigate the influence of alcohol and humectant types on printing properties, the optimum ink formulation from previous study, which contained C.I. Reactive Blue 21 Ink2 was formulated with different ...

Abstract The dyeing of recycled polyamide nonwoven fabrics based on nanofibers (PA-NWNF), which were fabricated from wastes, was conducted in this study. Since PA-NWNF exhibited a high surface area to volume ratio, it dyed with different particle sizes Disperse Red 167 dye (DR 167, DR 167-B, and 167-C) without auxiliary agents prevent further environmental pollution. undyed PA-NWNF, as well the...

<p>Natural products have always been appreciated due to the awareness about environmental standards for global health by using green technologies in their isolation and extraction. Thereupon natural dyes used all fields having ecofriendly, therapeutic aesthetic nature. For current study, microwave radiations (MW) as a extraction tool explore coloring potency of Tea leaves dyeing cotton fa...

Abstract Naturally occurring compounds can be utilized as coloring and finishing agents in environmentally friendly textile products. Aronia melanocarpa (Aronia) fruits (berries) are rich bioactive such various form of polyphenolic showing antibacterial antioxidant, thus numerous studies have been actively conducted on berry extract (AE) recent years. However, most natural including pigments ex...
