An alkaline protease-producing fungus was screened from potato grown soil fields of Bangalore and identified as Aspergillus terreus gr. based on morphological and microscopic features. The selected growth medium contained casein (1%) as a sole source of carbon and nitrogen. The pH of the medium was adjusted to 10.0 using sodium carbonate in order to isolate alkalophilic fungi. The best process ...

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...

Alkali-assisted acid pretreated rice straw was saccharified using cellulase from Aspergillus niger BK01. The cellulase production by the fungus was enhanced by parametric optimization using solid-state fermentation conditions. Maximum cellulase production (12.0 U/gds of carboxymethyl cellulase, CMCase) was achieved in 96 h, using 6.0% substrate concentration, 7.5% inoculum concentration, 1:2 so...

In recent years, the study of membrane processes for recovery valuable phenolic compounds from olive mill wastewater (OMW) has been intensified. The selected OMW pH ultrafiltration is one variables affecting productivity, selectivity and fouling. An in-depth characterization fouling was performed 150 kDa ceramic tubular selected. At three tested (2, 6 9), a high retention suspended matter 98% a...

Fruit waste extract was selected as the sole substrate for carotenoid production and the effect of parameters like pH, temperature and agitation have been studied. A two-step simple sequential strategy was employed for the optimization of carotenoid production by Rhodotorula rubra. In the first step, one factor at a time was employed to evaluate the impact of pH on carotenoid production. Th...

PURPOSE Accurate measurement of pH is necessary to guide medical management of nephrolithiasis. Urinary dipsticks offer a convenient method to measure pH, but prior studies have only assessed the accuracy of a single, spot dipstick. Given the known diurnal variation in pH, a single dipstick pH is unlikely to reflect the average daily urinary pH. Our goal was to determine whether multiple dipsti...
