Alternaria solani was a potential leaf spot pathogen of Azadirachta indica L, was isolated from diseased Azadirachta indica L leaves from Nashik and used for the present study. Pathogen was grown on the Czapek-Dox liquid medium substituting or adding different carbon, nitrogen to study phenol production. Considerable variation in the production of total phenol was observed when different carbon...

The percentage removal of phenol from aqueous solution by emulsion liquid membrane and emulsion leakage was investigated experimentally for various parameters such as membrane: internal phase ratio, membrane: external phase ratio, emulsification speed, emulsification time, carrier concentration, surfactant concentration and internal agent concentration. These parameters strongly influence the p...

Antisera were raised against nine strains which had been isolated from phenol-acclimated oil refinery activated sludge. Although several antisera reacted significantly with the activated sludge during a period of adaptation to phenol, only an antiserum against one of the isolates, Alcaligenes sp. E2, reacted with the activated sludge after the adaptation period. A kinetic pattern of phenol-oxyg...

Studies reported here confirm that the pH indicator, phenol red, acts as a weak estrogen and reexamine the significance of estrogenic and antiestrogenic effects on growth of the human breast cancer cell lines ZR-75-1 and T-47-D in the absence of phenol red. Removal of phenol red reduces but does not immediately eliminate cell growth in the absence of estradiol. Basal cell growth can be reduced ...

conclusions the findings of the current study indicate that at high concentrations of salt, the growth of bacteria reduces so that it stops at a concentration of 50 mg l-1 (5%). thus, the bacterium is halotolerant or halophilic. with an increase in phenol concentration, the growth rate increased. phenol toxicity appears at a concentration of 600 mg l-1. results the phenol concentration of 600 m...

Phenol oxidation in aqueous solutions was carried out in a pH range of 7-12 using cyclic votlammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) studies on a glassy carbon electrode. Peak potentials are found to be distinct for each pH value. A linear relationship is observed between the peak current and the concentration ranging from microto millimolar levels. The peak current is found to be...

Double-vial radiorespirometry was used to estimate the biodegradation rates of 14C-labeled phenol in a landfill leachate and a secondary treated domestic wastewater. Rates were found to be comparable for each material at each of the three concentrations tested. Sewage microorganisms immediately began biodegrading the [14C]phenol; landfill leachate microorganisms required a lag period before max...

Pulmonary absorption of phenol red was studied in normal subjects. Phenol red was administered by intratracheal injection and its urinary excretion was used as an index of pulmonary absorption. Doses ranging from 3 to 30 mg were given to two subjects and urinary phenol red excretion was found to be rate limited. That this effect occurred in the lung was shown by giving the dye intravenously to ...
