TAKAO, SHOICHI (Hokkaido University, Sapporo, Japan). Organic acid production by Basidiomycetes. I. Screening of acid-producing strains. Appl. Microbiol. 13:732737. 1965.-Sixty-seven strains belonging to 47 species of Basidiomycetes were examined for their acid-producing abilities in glucose media, in both the presence and absence of CaCO3, in stationary and shake cultures. Some strains were fo...

This study aims to investigate the anaerobic degradation kinetics of reactive dye, C.I. Reactive Red 141 (Evercion Red H-E7B) by partially granulated anaerobic mixed culture using three carbon sources, namely modified starch (MS), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and acrylic size (AS) during batch incubation. There is a first-order kinetics reaction in the decolorization processes using MS and PVA as ca...

The biological decomposition of lignocellulosic materials caused by basidiomycetes plays an essential role in the carbon cycle. Brown rot fungi represent important agents biodegradation wood products and standing coniferous trees natural ecosystems. initial moisture content is factor degradation process. In this work, effects Eucalyptus grandis sapwood on decay two brown Gloeophyllum trabeum La...

Synthesis of the exopolysaccharide-based bioflocculant Rhizobium radiobacter SZ4S7S14 was researched and medium optimized for enhanced production of bioflocculant. D-Mannose and yeast extract were found to be best carbon and nitrogen sources for maximal yield of bioflocculant. The bioflocculant samples obtained in different media with different carbon and nitrogen sources were further analyzed ...

Glossary Carbon sequestration: capture and secure storage of carbon that would otherwise be emitted to or remain in the atmosphere. Carbon sources: for this chapter, we are concerned with large stationary sources of CO2, e.g. fossil fueled power plants, cement manufacturing, ammonia production, iron and non-ferrous metal smelters, industrial boilers, refineries, natural gas wells. Carbon captur...

There have been several investigations on the amino acid nutrition of Streptomyces. Early work on this subject by Waksman (1920) showed that certain single amino acids satisfied the nitrogen requirements of representative species of the genus Streptomyces. Considerable specificity in the ability to deaminate amino acids is exhibited by Streptomyces, as Woodruff and Foster (1943) have shown with...

An efficient microbial technique for decolorizing distillery wastewater was achieved using irradiated spores of Aspergillus fumigatus. The fungus was isolated from soil samples taken from the local distillery processing unit. By using the irradiated spores, wastewater decolorization increased by 14.3% as compared to that of the control treatment (68.8% vs. 54.5%). In the presence of sodium nitr...

The carbon-to-oxygen relationship and gas exchange balance, organic carbon to CO2 conversion intensity efficiency, their relevance climate parameters wood decay fungi were investigated for birch woody debris (WD) in the Mid-Urals mixed pine forests. It was shown that, within range of temperatures from 10 40 °C relative moisture (RM) 40% 70%, aerobic observed WD, encompassing physiologically ent...
