The persistence of Monocrotophos (MCP) an extensively used Organophosphorous pesticide in environment and its toxic effect on biota necessitate its removal. A soil fungus capable of utilizing or breaking down MCP was isolated from a site contaminated by the same pesticide. The fungus Aspergillus sp. was inoculated into the medium with 0.5% MCP. After 8 days of incubation the biodegradation of M...

The lipids were extracted from the winged bean (Psophocarpus tetragonolobus) seed with water-saturated n-butanol. Lipids were separated into groups by preparative TLC on silica gel G. The amount of each lipid type was determined by analysis of the fatty acid constituents in each lipid type. Glyceride was the major lipid accounting for 89.6% of the total, followed by an unknown lipid 4%, free fa...

The linear compressibility of two-dimensonial fatty acid mesophases has been determined by grazing incidence x-ray diffraction. The unit cell parameters of the L2, L ′ 2, L ′′ 2 , S and CS phases of behenic acid CH3 − (CH2)20 − COOH and of the L2 phase of myristic acid CH3 − (CH2)12 − COOH were determined as a function of surface pressure and temperature. Surface pressure vs molecular area isot...

In this study; the saturated and unsaturated fatty acid composition of 11 different peanut cultivars, Runner (Georgia Green) Virginia (NC-7, Masal, Halisbey, Wilson, Com, Brantley, Duzici-1) Spanish (Florispan, Nigeria-1), widely grown in eastern Mediterranean Transition Zone were determined. The research was carried out for two years (2020 to 2021) under second crop season conditions trial are...

Enrofloxacin-loaded docosanoic acid solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) with different physicochemical properties were developed to enhance activity against intracellular Salmonella. Their cellular uptake, intracellular elimination and antibacterial activity were studied in RAW 264.7 cells. During the experimental period, SLN-encapsulated enrofloxacin accumulated in the cells approximately 27.06-3...

Previous data for the distribution of the n-alkyl carboxylic acids between aqueous buffers and heptane have suggested that the free energy of transfer between the two solvents does not increase with the length of the alkyl chain beyond palmitic acid, indicating a limit to the hydrophobicity of the alkyl chain at a length of about 15 carbon atoms. It is shown in this paper that previous measurem...

Averrhoa carambola L., belonging to the Oxalidaceae family is one of popular fruits in Bangladesh. The objective study isolate and purify secondary metabolites from A. leaves investigate phytochemical properties, fatty acid, antioxidant, antimicrobial activity, cytotoxicity both leaves. Phytochemical screening revealed presence lignins, quinones, saponins, flavonoids, phenol, carbohydrates, ste...

Background: Biofloc technology (BFT) is an ecofriendly aquaculture production system. In this, various carbon sources being used for floc production. However, the cheapest source would make it economically feasible. this context, present study purified distillery spent wash (DSW) as a to evaluate its viability on biofloc composition and carcass quality of GIFT strain. Methods: Nursery trial was...

Force-area isotherms were obtained for hexadecanoic, octadecanoic, eicosanoic, and docosanoic acid monolayers at different compression rates. Equilibrium spreading pressures were determined both by monolayer collapse and by spreading from the bulk phase. Monolayers formed metastable phases at all pressures above their equilibrium spreading pressures and at all surface areas smaller than the sur...

Carduus nutans L. is a biennial plant which is belonging to Asteraceae family known as musk or nodding thistle commonly. Carduus species includes different active ingredients like essential oil, resin, tannin, fatty oil, starch, flavonolignans, polyacetylenes. Importance of phytochemistry and chemical ecology researches increase gradually. The fat extraction was carried out by Soxhlet method wi...
