Biodegradation of keratin containing wastes viz. bird feathers, nails, hairs, animalwool is a low-cost, nutrient-rich biotechnological process that turns this plentiful waste into substance. It sustainable green approach towards the solution environmental threats created by these wastes. This study aimed to screen for potential keratinase-producing microorganisms and optimize physicochemical pa...

Abstract Color-based time-temperature indicators (TTIs) can show the time and temperature changes of an environment with a visually recognizable color change. Made from natural dyes, these TTIs are simple, inexpensive sustainable. In this study, cellulose-based TTI labels were prepared red cabbage extract pH2, pH7 pH9 to determine how pH alter response changes. This study also aimed relationshi...

1. The optical rotatory dispersion (ORD) of five homodinucleotides, ApAp(3'), CpCp(3'), GpGp(3'), IpIp(3') and UpUp(3') (where A, C, G, I and U represent adenosine, cytidine, guanosine, inosine and uridine respectively, and p to the left of a nucleoside symbol indicates a 5'-phosphate and to the right it indicates a 3'-phosphate), were measured as a function of pH, ionic strength and Mg(2+) con...

Clinical applications of resin-based composite (RBC) generate environmental pollution in the form microparticulate waste. Methods: SEM, particle size and specific surface area analysis, FT-IR potentiometric titrations were used to characterise microparticles arising from grinding commercial control RBCs as a function time, at time generation after 12 months ageing water. The tested two states: ...

Abstract In the present study, high surface area boehmite nanopowder was recovered from aluminum cans waste. The sodium aluminate solution first prepared by dissolving in NaOH and then, H 2 O added to precipitate boehmite. characterized means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) N adsorption–desorption techniques. thermal stability sample investigated using thermog...

Background: Highly-concentrated phosphate and nitrate anions from sugarcane wastewater are often discharged into public waters without standardized treatments. This study assessed the effects of electrical coagulation, initial pH and reaction time in the removal of phosphate and nitrate pollutants. Methods: We used aluminum electrodes to remove the pollutants at Hakhim Farabi Agricultural and ...

Laccases have vast prospective for biotechnological applications due to their outstanding bioremediation potential. These include abundant applications in effluent detoxification, enzymatic conversion of chemical intermediates, wine clarification degradation of textile dyes etc. In the present study, two potential microbes were isolated on solid medium containing guaiacol and ABTS for laccase a...
