A cellulase producing bacterium (E3 strain) was isolated from fecal matter of elephant and identified as Bacillus sp. using 16S rDNA sequenced based molecular phylogenetic approach. While studying the effect of substrates like Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), avicel, starch, maltose, sucrose, glucose, fructose, galactose and lactose on cellulase production, it was found that CMC was best carbon s...

The present work deals with the laminar natural convection in a square cavity with differentially heated side walls subjected to constant temperatures and filled with homogenous 0,4 wt. % aqueous solution of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) based Au, Al2O3, Cu and TiO2 nanofluids obeying the Power law rheological model. The governing differential equations have been solved by the standard finite v...

A carboxymethyl cellulase gene, cel5B, was cloned, sequenced, and expressed in Escherichia coli. pRCS20 in E. coli was identified from metagenomic cosmid library of cow rumen for cellulase activity on a carboxymethyl cellulose agar plates. Cosmid clone (RCS20) was partially digested with Sau3AI, ligated into BamHI site of pBluescript II SK+ vector, and transformed into E. coli DH5α. The insert ...

Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) convert biodegradable materials into electricity, potentially contributing to an array of renewable energy production strategies tailored for specific applications. Since there are no known microorganisms that can both metabolize cellulose and transfer electrons to solid extracellular substrates, the conversion of cellulosic biomass to electricity requires a syntroph...

this research is aimed at the effect of carboxymethyl cellulose(cmc) on the mechanical properties of paper made from virgin pulp in paper. in this work, cmc was added to pulp furnished in 0%, 0.5%, 1%, and 1.5% dosages. also pulp fibers of furnishes (60hw:40sw) formed by mixing bleached softwood and bleached hardwood pulps were prepared from russia factory. then the 80-gram handsheets were prep...

This article offers insight into the role of binders in overall performance a dual-ion battery (DIB). Replacing sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) with poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVdF-HFP) enhances interfacial stability graphite positive electrode DIB. Electrochemical testing combined X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and operando pressure measurements highlight th...

The data presented in this article is related to the research article entitled "Paclitaxel loaded magnetic nanocomposites with folate modified chitosan/carboxymethyl surface; a vehicle for imaging and targeted drug delivery" (S. Bano, M. Afzal, M.M. Waraich, K. Alamgir, S. Nazir, 2016) [1]. It contains the absorbance spectra, band gap energies of pure nickel-ferrite nano cores (NFs), and calibr...

The objective of the present study was to develop a practical method to prepare a stable dispersion of TiO2 nanoparticles for biological studies. To address this matter a variety of different approaches for suspension of nanoparticles were conducted. TiO2 (rutile/anatase) dispersions were prepared in distilled water following by treated with different ultrasound energies and various dispersion ...

Inteligent hydrogels, such as pH sensitive hydrogels based on poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) are widely used for targeted drug delivery. Still, PMAA lack of good mechanical properties often limits its application. In order to overcome this limitation nanocellulose (NC) was extracted from wood waste material and then added because NC is biocompatible, non-toxic has excellent properties. Further, ...
