Bacillus licheniformis Heshi-B2 was isolated from fermented rice bran in Heshiko, a food produced by aging salted mackerel with fresh rice bran. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of B. licheniformis Heshi-B2, originating from a Heshiko sample from Fukui Prefecture, Japan.

There is a clear need to develop feed/fertilizer combinations that are appropriate for fish farming in Kenya and other parts of Africa. The strategy of using high-quality nutritionally complete feeds to produce high fish yields, frequently employed in developed countries, is often impossible or inappropriate in countries where high-quality feed ingredients are in short supply or are very expens...

I. The vitamin A content of Saccobranchus fossilis kept on a diet of rice and meat gradually decreased and became negligible at the end of 3-5 months. 2. S.fossiZisinitially contained more dehydroretinol than retinol; administration ofp-carotene or zeaxanthin to the vitamin A-depleted fish did not result in an accumulation of dehydroretinol in the liver. On the other hand, when Iutein was admin...

BACKGROUND We have recently shown that biomarker levels of selected metals are higher in Asians than in other U.S. ethnic groups, with important differences within selected Asian subgroups. Much of this difference may be dietary in origin; however, this is not well established. OBJECTIVE We evaluated dietary intake of toxic metals as a source of increased biomarker levels of metals among U.S....

Defatted rice bran was treated with subcritical water between 120 and 240°C. The extraction temperature af fected the total carbohydrate and protein contents of the extracts. In the tested temperature range, the total carbohydrate and protein contents were the highest at 180°C and 210°C. The DPPH radical scavenging activity of the extracts increased with increasing extraction temperature up to ...

Wangkal Village is one of the villages in Gading District Probolinggo Regency that has agricultural potential supports tourism development. Agricultural includes abundant water conditions so people prefer to grow rice every year and be used for freshwater fish cultivation. Another now exists village Nolobranti River Tubing tour. This tour offers concept tubing down river along Wangkal. dry seas...

Phosphorus (P) deficiency in soil limits crop yields and can be managed by P fertilizers. But mere applying fertilizers alone may not effective justifying its bioavailability. At present global reserves are declining an increasing way which urges us to find out alternatives. Thus, the work was taken prepare phosphocompost using water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) as feedstock, termite, normal...
