phosphorus solubilizing microorganisms are capable of transforming insoluble phosphorus (p) forms to soluble and bioavailable p. the aim of the present study was to isolate p solubilizing bacteria from forest soils around the rock phosphate (rp) mine of koh-e-sepidlar in kohgiluyeh and boyer ahmad province and evaluate their ability in sperber culture medium and wheat straw medium in the presen...

The conditions required for production of levo 2,3-butylene glycol by Bacillus polymyxa from citrus molasses were studied. Starter cultures required acclimatization to the substrate prior to inoculation of the fermentation medium. Maximal production of butylene glycol with minimal residual sugar was obtained with a medium consisting of molasses, diluted to 20 degrees Brix, and 0.4% urea. Optima...

The Plackett-Burman design and the Box-Behnken design, statistical methodologies, were employed for the optimization lipase and biosurfactant production by Ochrobactrum intermedium strain MZV101 in an identical broth medium for detergent applications. Environmental factor pH determined to be most mutual significant variables on production. A high concentration of molasses at high temperature an...

THIS PAPER describes recent BSES initiatives to develop laboratory NIR systems for sugar industry applications, in particular, for the analysis of sugar, molasses and other factory products. For the analysis of sugar, previous BSES work to develop online NIR calibrations was available for adaptation to a laboratory or at-line format and was supplemented by a targeted program of analytical work ...

BACKGROUND Cane molasses, an important residue of the sugar industry, have the potential as a cost-effective carbon source that could serve as nutrients for industrial enzyme-producing microorganisms, especially filamentous fungi. However, the enzyme mixtures produced in such a complex medium are poorly characterized. In this study, the secretome of Trichoderma reesei grown on a cane molasses m...

Two commercial strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Saf-Instant (Baker's yeast) and Ethanol red (Mutant) were compared for ethanol production during hot summer season, using molasses diluted up to 6-7 degrees Brix containing 4%-5% sugars. The yeasts were then propagated in fermentation vessels to study the effects of yeast cell count and varying concentrations of Urea, DAP, inoculum size and La...

A study of the aerobic degradation of beet molasses alcoholic fermentation wastewater diluted to 50% (chemical oxygen demand, COD: 82 g/l) was carried out using the following fungi: Penicillium sp., Penicillium decumbens , Penicillium lignorum and Aspergillus niger . These four microorganisms produce a decolorization of the wastewater from the first day of incubation, achieving the maximum deco...

The essential amino acid L-tryptophan (Trp) has importance as a pharmaceutical agent, especially in neuro-medicine. It is also added to feed products as a food fortifier. Furthermore, application of Trp is widespread in biotechnology. Trp is produced by a condensation reaction between indole and Lserine, which is catalyzed by bacterial tryptophanase activity. In this study, we have investigated...

Production cost of enzyme is largely determined by the type of the strain and raw material used to propagate the strain. Hence, selection of the strain and raw materials is crucial in enzyme production. For Glucose oxidase (GOx), previous studies showed Aspergillus terreus UniMAP AA-1 offers a better alternative to the existing sources. Thus, a lower production cost could be logically anticipat...

Screwworm flies, Cochliomyia hominivorax (Coquerel), were fed on honey and spray dried egg product; honey, molasses, and spray dried egg product; honey and spray dried meat protein; as well as on a control diet of honey and horsemeat, which is the standard diet used for screwworm adult colony in the mass-rearing facility. In general, the weight of eggs laid by females fed on the diet of spray d...
