Rhus coriaria Linn. (Anacardiacea), commonly known as sumac, has been used as a spice, condiment, appetizer, and as a souring agent for centuries. A broad range of nutritionally and medicinally significant phytochemical components have been identified from various parts of sumac such as tannins, flavonoids, anthocyanins, organic acids, flavones, proteins, fiber, volatile oils, nitrates, and nit...

The ability of microorganisms to thrive under oxygen-free conditions in subsurface environments relies on the enzymatic reduction of oxidized elements, such as sulfate, ferric iron, or CO2, coupled to the oxidation of inorganic or organic compounds. A broad phylogenetic and functional diversity of microorganisms from subsurface environments has been described using isolation-based and advanced ...

Anaerobic digestion reactors may suffer from acidification when overloading occurs. Carbon-based materials are amended to mitigate the souring effects of excessive loading. This study aims test if graphene oxide (GO) helps overloaded anaerobic recover faster. Batch tests were conducted following a fed-batch strategy at different GO levels (0, 10, and 20 mg per g volatile solid (VS)) inoculum su...

Crude glycerol (CG) is an abundantly available and cheap by-product from biodiesel production. Value-added applications for CG are highly wanted by industry and several processes such as the use of CG for enhanced oil recovery have been proposed. The aim of this study was to evaluate the sulfide production of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) indigenous to oil reservoirs using CG as substrate. Th...

DIVERSITY OF HIGH-TEMPERATURE ENVIRONMENTS High-temperature biotopes colonized by thermophilic and hyperthermophilic microorganisms are distributed on all continents and oceans and span a huge diversity of physicochemical niches, with pH values in high-temperature spring sources spanning >7 units (1–3) and aqueous concentrations of biologically relevant elements spanning several orders of magni...

Cloud Computing has become a popular buzzword and it has been widely used to refer to different technologies, services, and concepts. With the use of cloud computing, here we are trying to give the location based efficient video information to the mobile users. Location Based Service(LBS) is an information service and has a number of uses in social networking today as an entertainment service, ...

This roadmap examines the future of microbiology research and technology in fossil fuel energy recovery. Globally, the human population will be reliant on fossil fuels for energy and chemical feedstocks for at least the medium term. Microbiology is already important in many areas relevant to both upstream and downstream activities in the oil industry. However, the discipline has struggled for r...

Methods for computerised mathematics have found little appeal among mathematicians because they call for additional skills which are not available to the typical mathematician. We herein propose to reconcile computerised mathematics to mathematicians by restoring natural language as the primary medium for mathematical authoring. Our method associates portions of text with grammatical argumentat...

While the microbial degradation of a chloroxyanion-based herbicide was first observed nearly ninety years ago, only recently have researchers elucidated the underlying mechanisms of perchlorate and chlorate [collectively, (per)chlorate] respiration. Although the obvious application of these metabolisms lies in the bioremediation and attenuation of (per)chlorate in contaminated environments, a d...
