Sulphur is one of the essential elements for plant growth. It an important constituent man,y enzymes and amino acids. Photosynthesis nitrogen fixation are attributed to type sulphur linkage present. has been found help synthesis acids hence increase protein content plants, boosting oil content. Today, Sulfur (S) research extended various soils, crops cropping systems different sources sulphur. ...

Nitrogen balance was studied in growing male SPF-rats fed on diets in which each essential amino acid was varied from zero to about 120% of optimum requirement. From the balance results, optimum and maintenance requirements were estimated as well as the efficiency of utilization of amino acids for growth and growth + maintenance. N balance increased with increasing dietary level of the deficien...

in order to study the effects of various levels of protein in diet based on total and digestible amino acids on performance and carcass traits of broilers, an experiment was conducted as a completely randomized design with 288 broiler chicks from cobb 500 strain in 6 treatments, each treatment consist of 3 replicates with 16 chicks per replicate. treatments were the diets as follow: 1) diet for...

The effects of organic diets, with or without supplements of betaine, saponin, fructo-oligosaccharide and methionine, on the health, performance and gut flora of pullets were investigated. A comparison was also made between birds fed organic diets and those fed a non-organic diet. Day-old Lohmann Tradition pullets were reared in 24 groups of 64 chicks indoors until 11 weeks, and then in 48 grou...

The amino acid requirements of Neocallimastix sp N 13 isolated from sheep rumen were studied using supplements containing either ten essential amino acids (10 EAA) or eight nonessential amino acids (8 NEAA), or both (18 AA). Although the fungus could grow in a medium containing ammonium sulphate as the sole source of nitrogen, amino acid supplements, especially 18 AA, greatly stimulated its gro...

Sulphur oxidizers are involved in oxidation of elemental sulphur to plant available sulphate. Sulphur is the key element for higher pulse production and plays an important role in the formation of proteins, vitamins and enzymes. Sulphur is a constituent of the essential amino acids cystine, cysteine and methionine. In the recent years the importance of sulphur in pulse nutrition has been well r...

A quasi-defined medium that supports the growth of Streptococcus agalactiae as pigmented colonies has been developed. The medium contains starch, a peptic digest of albumin, amino acids, nucleosides, vitamins, and salts. The presence of free cysteine, which could be replaced with other sulphur-containing compounds and to a lesser degree by reducing agents, was required for pigment formation.
