Pectinases find wide application in different industrial applications, e.g., textile, food, tea, paper and pulp, vegetable oil extractions, saccharification of agricultural remains, fermented drinks. Three fungal strains were screened for pectinase production. Results indicated that all are capable producing a enzyme. Penicillium chrysogenum MF318506 showed the highest activity (0.214 U/ml) on ...

the aim of this study was to determine the inhibitory effects of feed ingredients on protease activities of argyrosomus regius larvae using in vitro techniques. a. regius larvae fed on a commercial feeding procedure were sampled thirteen times, during the sampling period (from 3 to 32 days after hatching (dah)). the differences observed in protease activities of meagre larvae during the samplin...

Freshly collected sediments from Bangladesh were incubated for two months to study the release of arsenic to groundwater in a low-oxygen environment. The aquifer sands, diluted to concentrations of 3 to 22 g/L with anoxic well water, covered a range of redox conditions, as indicated by gray to orange color. Suspensions amended with either acetate or a respiratory inhibitor were incubated in par...

CuO/ZnO nanocomposites were greenly prepared and tested for the catalytic degradation of methyl orange. The XRD analysis confirmed existence CuO ZnO with crystallite sizes within range 15–30 nm. TEM SEM images showed different morphological properties. TGA revealed a good thermal stability nanocomposite, total loss less than 18% at temperature 700 °C. orange under mild conditions catalyst mass/...
