The olive oil extraction process yields liquid waste byproduct known as olive mill wastewater (OMW), which presents a major environmental problem, if not treated before dissipation. The large amounts of OMW generated, combined with its high polluting power as well as its high chemical oxygen demand (COD) concentrations, represent the main difficulties in finding a solution for the management of...

Content availability has become increasingly important for the Internet delivery chain. In order to enhance availability, content distribution network (CDN) providers have invested in hybrid designs that combines resources from datacenter and edge networks. Although, to deliver videos with an outstanding availability and meet the increasing user expectations, hybrid CDNs must enforce strict QoS...

BACKGROUND Pleurotus sajor-caju (P. sajor-caju) has been extremely useful in the prevention of diabetes mellitus due to its low fat and high soluble fiber content for thousands of years. Insulin resistance is a key component in the development of diabetes mellitus which is caused by inflammation. In this study, we aimed to investigate the in vivo efficacy of glucan-rich polysaccharide of P. saj...

Mushrooms are considered rich in proteins, carbohydrates and other nutrients. The present study was carried out to evaluate some edible mushrooms of Kashmir valley for their protein, carbohydrate and lipid contents. The highest protein content was found in Boletus edulis (2.20g) followed by Agaricus bisporus (1.80g), Pleurotus ostreatus (1.68g), Morchella esculenta (1.62g) and Pleurotus sajor c...

In the present investigation, feasibility of dairy waste water (DWW) and distillery spent wash (DSW) effluents in increasing the growth and yield of two species of oyster mushroom, Pleurotus flabellatus (PF 1832) and P. sajor-caju (PS 1610) on abundantly available agro-waste, bagasse, was evaluated. Three different levels of treatments were applied for each effluent. The effects of amendments o...

Four laccase isozyme genes, Psc lac1, 2, 3 and 4 have been cloned from the edible mushroom, Pleurotus sajor-caju. The genes display a high degree of homology with other basidiomycete laccases (55-99%) at the amino acid level. Of the laccase genes isolated, Psc lac1 and 4 displayed the highest degree of similarity (85% at the amino acid level), while Psc lac3 showed the highest degree of diverge...

Laccases are multicopper oxidoreductases with broad substrate specificity and are applied in biofuel cells at the cathode to improve its oxygen reduction performance. However, the production of laccases by e.g. fungi is often accompanied by the need of synthetic growth supplements for increased enzyme production. In this study we present a strategy for the white-rot fungus Pleurotus sajor-caju ...

The objective of the study is to screen the phytochemicals which are the dependable sources for the treatment of different health problems. The present study aims to investigate the preliminary phytochemical screening using four different extracts of the mushroom Pleurotus sajor caju (Fries) Sing. Belonging to the family polyporaceae. Both cold and hot aqueous and silver nanoparticles extracts ...

Comparative effects of oyster mushrooms on plasma and fecal lipid profiles and on liver and kidney function were evaluated in hyper and normocholesterolemic rats. Feeding of hypercholesterolemic rats a 5% powder of oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus, P. sajor-caju and P. florida) reduced the plasma total cholesterol level by 37%, 21% and 16%, respectively and reduced the triglyceride level b...
