Schizothorax wangchiachii is a key fish species in the stock enhancement program of the Yalong River hydropower project, China. Alizarin red S (ARS) was used to mark large numbers of juvenile S. wangchiachii in the Jinping Hatchery and later used to evaluate stock enhancement in the Jinping area of the Yalong River. In a small-scale pilot study, 7,000 juveniles of the 2014 cohort were successfu...

Despite the variety of modern molecular techniques available, examination of foetal anatomy is still a fundamental part of teratological studies in evaluating the developmental toxicity of xenobiotics or other non-chemical factors. The article presents contemporary methods of embryotoxicity and foetotoxicity assessment. A single alizarin red S and double alcian blue followed by alizarin red S s...

The photocatalytic degradation of dyes (alizarin red S, amaranth, congo red, and rhodamine B) present in wastewater was performed with UV lamp. catalysts employed for this investigation were ZnO, TiO2, SnO2. kinetic studies followed first order reaction. ZnO found to be most efficient photo-catalyst degrading these dyes. optimal result alizarin S k = 0.2118 min?1, t1/2 3.27 min, R2 0.7998, amar...

L-Asparaginase enzyme has received great attention owing to its potential as anticancer drug and food processing agent. L-Asparaginase producing microbes are conventionally screened on phenol red plates containing L-asparagine as the sole nitrogen source for its growth. However, the contrast of the zone in phenol red plates is not very distinct. To overcome this problem, an alternate methodolog...

introduction: skeletal staining is an important part of anatomical studies which can evaluate macroscopic disorders in bones and cartilages development. the aim of the present article is to illustrate two distinct protocols by all details in order to stain skeletal system of the lab animals in all ages of their lives so it becomes easy for future studies in this field. methods: in this paper, s...

The adsorption of the Alizarin Red S (ARS) and Patent Blue VF (PBVF) from aqueous solution onto agricultural waste mentha has been investigated. The effects of initial dye concentration, contact time, pH, temperature and ionic strength were studied in a batch system. ARS and PBVF adsorption onto mentha increased to minor extent with decreasing pH. Adsorption capacities of dyes increased with co...
