phenotypic similarities within a group of 103 S cerevisiae strains that belong to the above mentioned strain Computational analysis Phenotypic tests Phenotyping included the evaluation of 19 traits used in yeast taxonomy [8] or for wine yeast strain selection. Yeast cells were withdrawn from frozen aliquots (glycerol, 30%, v/v, at -80oC) and were pre-inoculated in 10 ml of the culture medium to...

The present study was conducted to isolate phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) from rhizospheric saline soils of coastal Odisha, India and evaluated their ability. Total four PSB were isolated based on the halo zone formation (solubilizing index 2.63-3.14) PVK agar medium characterized biochemical molecular characteristics as Bacillus subtilis (B1), B. megaterium (B2), Sphingomonas paucimobil...

response of seed germination of a crop to different environmental conditions is one of the most important determination factors to indicate its ability in competition with weeds. in order to evaluate the effects of water depth and temperature on the germination of different varieties of rice and barnyard grass, an experiment was conducted in the seed laboratory, faculty of agriculture, ferdowsi...

The main aim of this work was to study the kinetics of the extraction of β-carotene by solvent (ethanol) extraction from carrots dried at 50oC in an oven. The moisture content after drying was 11±1.5% (dry weight basis). Extraction time was 5 hours and extraction process was carried out at 30oC. The ratio of Carrot (gm): ethanol (ml) of 1:60 was maintained throughout the extraction process. The...

The present investigation deals with the kinetics of submerged citric acid fermentation by Aspergillus niger using blackstrap molasses as the basal fermentation media. A laboratory scale stirred fermentor of 15-L capacity having working volume of 9-L was used for cultivation process and nutritional analysis. Among the 10 stock cultures of Aspergillus niger, the strain GCBT7 was found to enhance...

The current study includes isolation and screening of different fungal cultures from soil samples for lipase production by solid state fermentation. Seven different lipolytic fungal strains were isolated and screened for the purpose. These isolates were identified on the basis of morphological and microscopic studies. Among these fungal strains, Aspergillus niger gave best reproducible results ...

Objective: To see if drinking water, when mildly hypohydrated (a loss of 0.7% of body mass), helps to maintain cognitive functioning and mood and to explore underlying mechanisms. Method: 118 (61 male) young adults were exposed to a temperature of 30oC for four hours and either did or did not drink two 150ml glasses of water during that time. On three occasions, once at baseline and once after ...

Bacterial amylase from Bacillus subtilis and fungal amylase from Aspergillus niger were potential source for industrial exploitation in the field of amylase production. Hence, this study on bacterial amylase and fungal amylase was done to compare the kinetic parameter of both the types of amylases. 30-60% ammonium sulfate precipitation has done which showed 90 % of purification of both the part...
