Untreated pharmaceutical pollution and their possibly toxic metabolites, resulting from overloaded wastewater treatment processes, end up in aquatic environments are hazardous to the ecosystem homeostasis. Biological remediation could supplement traditional methods overcome release of these biologically active compounds environment. Mycoremediation is especially promising due unspecific nature ...

Fungal production of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) is a highly potential approach in biotechnology. Currently the main focus is directed towards screening of hundreds strains in order to select of few potential ones. Thus, a reliable method for screening a high number of strains within a short period of time is needed. Here, we present a novel method for screening of PUFA-producing fungi ...

This study investigated the effectiveness of seeds Azadrachta indica plant extract as botanical antimicrobials on some fungi isolates associated with carrot diseases in Sokoto State Nigeria. The were isolated from diseased plants selected farms (Moreh, Badageni and Ruggar Liman farms) area. was extracted using ethanol. common Alternaria alternata, Fusarium oxysporum, Mucor hiemalis Penicillium ...

Objective Fungi produce many different carotenoids and some are attractive in medical and industrial sources. In this work the ability of Mucor hiemalis (PTCC 5292) to produce carotenoids in media with different nitrogenous and carbon sources and incubation with white, yellow, blue and red lights (15W, 220V, E27) against dark-grown were studied. Materials and Method The microorganism cultiva...
