In this study, it was possible to evaluate the production of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) from microalgae Chlorella vulgaris and Tetradesmus obliquus, using 1% 0.25% (v/v) agro-indusytial Corn Steep Liquor residue, a product corn processing. The biomass subjected mechanical extraction 4% sodium hypochlorite + chloroform, extract further characterized Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTI...

The model developed for human parasites by Bottomley et al. (2007) has been adapted to the dynamics of triatomines to better understand the processes of niche invasion, competition among species and coexistence. In Bolivia, both wild and domestic populations of Triatoma infestans exist. Their ecological niches are normally separated and the two populations do not interbreed, behaving as two dis...

Based on an agreement between the Ministry of Health and the National Space Activities Commission in Argentina, an integrated informatics platform for dengue risk using geospatial technology for the surveillance and prediction of risk areas for dengue fever has been designed. The task was focused on developing stratification based on environmental (historical and current), viral, social and ent...

This work examines the effects of six pesticides on five green algae: Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata, Scenedesmus quadricauda, Scenedesmus obliquus, Chlorella vulgaris and Chlorella pyrenoidosa. The results indicate that the decreasing order of the average toxicity to five algae was: fluazinam > propineb > maneb > mancozeb > zineb > bromoxynil octanoate. however, according to sensitivity magni...

The overapplication of manure on agricultural soils leads to nitrogen and phosphorus discharge into the aquatic environment, resulting in serious eutrophication problems decreased water quality. Piggery wastewater (PWW) can be treated by microalgae recycle nutrients, but toxic levels ammonia organic matter hinder their growth. Fresh is usually used dilute PWW, it a scarce resource. implementati...

Co-cultivation and effective downstream processing of microalgae oleaginous yeast are potential strategies to enhance lipid yield. The findings this work suggest that each cultivable partner should be screened optimized for the best mutualistic co-cultures. In case, T. pullulans was found most culture with S. obliquus, C. sorokiniana, protothecoides along additional cell disruption techniques. ...

Chaga mushroom (Inonotus obliquus) has been used for a long time as folk medicine treating multiple diseases in several parts of the world without rendering any undesired toxicity. In this study, I. obliquus polysaccharides (IOP) were extracted and assessed to determine their anti-tumorigenic potential human lung cancer cell lines NCI-H23 A549 using cytotoxicity apoptosis assays. MTT assay reve...
