Many classes of compounds have been shown to play an important role in the development flavour characteristics beer. This significantly influences its taste and sensory properties, thus affecting market performance. Despite intensive research aimed at unravelling precise mechanism regulation formation beer, current knowledge remains far from complete. Several reviews are available on general composition beer yeast metabolic pathways involved production volatile However, a limited amount work...
Bioflocculant-producing bacteria were isolated from activated sludge of a wastewater treatment plant located in Durban, South Africa, and identified using standard biochemical tests as well the analysis their 16S rRNA gene sequences. The bioflocculants produced by these organisms ethanol precipitated, purified 2% (w/v) cetylpyridinium chloride solution evaluated for removal dyes under different pH, temperature nutritional conditions. Bioflocculants indigenous very effective decolourizing...
A bioflocculant-producing marine bacterium previously isolated from sediment of Algoa Bay was screened for flocculant production. Comparative analysis 16S rDNA sequence identified the isolate to have 99% similarity Virgibacillus sp. XQ-1 and it deposited in GenBank as Rob with accession number HQ537127. The produced biflocculants optimally glucose (70.4%) peptone sole sources carbon nitrogen, alkaline pH (12) (74%); presence Fe2+ (74%). Chemical bioflocculant revealed be a polysaccharide.
This study was designed to evaluate the antioxidant and cholinesterase inhibitory activities of sulfated polysaccharides from Gracilaria gracilis (PGCL) Ulva lactuca (PULV). PGCL PULV were extracted characterized with Scanning electron microscope-energy dispersive x-ray (SEM-EDX), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) Gas chromatography-mass (GC-MS). The radical (2,2-azinobis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate [ABTS] 2,2-diphenyl-1- picrylhydrazyl [DPPH], hydroxyl [OH]) scavenging...
Over 90 % of all cases diabetes that have been diagnosed are type 2 (T2D), a disease exacerbated by an increase in sedentary behaviour, bad eating habits, and obesity. This study investigated the antidiabetic properties
Treated wastewater effluent has been found to contain high levels of contaminants, including disease-causing bacteria such as Listeria and Aeromonas species. The aim this study was evaluate the antimicrobial resistance virulence signatures spp. recovered from treated effluents two treatment plants receiving rivers in Durban, South Africa. A total 100 78 were positively identified based on biochemical tests PCR detection DNA region conserved these genera. profiles isolates determined using...
