The present work demonstrates the heavy metal resistance and detoxification of Cr(VI) by the probiotic actinobacterial cultures isolated from chicken and goat feces. The actinobacterial isolates were screened for heavy metal resistance by qualitative, semiquantitative assays and Cr(VI) biosorption was determined by analytical techniques such as atomic absorption spectrophotometry and Fourier tr...

The heavy metal tolerance in corn (Zea mays L.) var. ‘Neelum’ was assessed at germination and seedling growth after having subjected it to different concentrations of CuSO4 and ZnSO4. Germination was not affected by any of the metal tested, whereas initial growth was strongly inhibited by increasing concentrations of ZnSO4. Seedlings developed toxicity symptoms in the presence of both metals bu...

Bu çalışmada, bakır içerikli bir malzeme olan ve sülfat pentahidrat (CuSO4∙5H2O) üretimi sırasında oluşan atık çamurun çeşitli asit çözeltileri kullanılarak değerlendirilme olanaklarının araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Dünya üretiminin % 15-20’si ikincil hammaddelerin (hurda, curuf, atık, v.b.) işlenmesi ile gerçekleşmektedir. CuSO4∙5H2O üretiminde açığa çıkan yüksek içeriğine sahip olması (ağ. 26...

Background: Immunofluorescence (IF) is one of the most important techniques where fluorochromes conjugated to antibodies are used to detect specific proteins or antigens. In tissue sections, autofluorescence (AF) can lead to poor quality images that impair assessment. The placenta is a pivotal extra-embryonic organ in embryo development, where trophoblasts make up a large proportion of the cell...

Salmonella typhi is a pathogen that causes the human disease of typhoid fever. The aim of this study was to investigate the viable but nonculturable (VBNC) state of S. typhi. Some samples were stimulated at 4°C or -20°C, while others were induced by different concentrations of CuSO4. Total cell counts remained constant throughout several days by acridine orange direct counting; however, plate c...

A wood-based composite was prepared via simple electroless Ni-Cu-P plating on birch veneer for EMI shielding. The effects of CuSO4·5H2O concentration on the metal deposition, elemental composition, phase structure, surface morphology, wettability, surface resistivity, and shielding effectiveness of coatings were investigated. The coatings were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray ...

An experimental study was carried over a period of 42 days using 160 day-old commercial broiler chicks (Ven Cobb) to study the effect of copper and flavomycin as feed additives on growth performance in broiler chicken. The birds were divided into four groups with four replicates of ten chicks in each replicate. The treatment (T1) was control with standard broiler ration and Cu as CuSO4 at 100 p...
