The decolorization and degradation of Direct Blue 71 were investigated using a mono culture of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The bacterium was able to decolorize the dye medium to 70.43 % within 48 h under microaerophilic conditions. The medium was then aerated for 24 h to promote the biodegradation of the aromatic amines generated from azo bond cleavage. Reduction in total organic carbon in dye medi...

Azo dyes constitute the largest and most versatile class of synthetic dyes used in the textile, pharmaceutical, food and cosmetics industries and represent major components in wastewater from these industrial dying processes. Biological decolorization of azo dyes occurs efficiently under low oxygen to anaerobic conditions. However, this process results in the formation of toxic and carcinogenic...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of the mixture of carbol fuchsin and alcian blue stain in the diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori (HP) and goblet cell intestinal metaplasia (IM) in comparison to the more commonly used Giemsa and hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stains. Pathological blocks of gastric tissues obtained from January 2006 to December 2007 were recut and processed for Giem...

Using wide-field HST/WFPC2 imaging and extensive Keck/LRIS spectroscopy, we present a detailed study of the galaxy populations in MS 2053–04, a massive, X-ray luminous cluster at z = 0.5866±0.0011. Analysis of 149 confirmed cluster members shows that MS2053 is composed of two structures that are gravitationally bound to each other; their respective velocity dispersions are 865 ± 71 km s (113 me...
