Nutrient composition and light stress significantly affect the productivity of astaxanthin in Haemotococcus pluvialis. Hence, present study aimed to investigate effect initial phosphate concentration two distinct regimes on accumulation H. In green stage, microalgae were cultivated different concentrations under 2000 lx a 12:12 h photoperiod. To initiate accumulation, an increased intensity 5000 was provided using methods; (i) stepwise stress, where photoperiod for 14 days, followed by days...
Abstract Wastewater generated from the textile industry contains numerous pollutants, most notably dyes, which can cause adverse effects, including negative impact on aesthetics, eutrophication, decrease of photosynthetic activity and bioaccumulation toxins in aquatic ecosystems, if discharged without adequate treatment. The cultivation microalgae dye effluent has been identified as a promising alternative to conventional methods wastewater During cultivation, dyes present are remediated...
Glyoxalase pathway plays an important role in stress adaptation and many clinical disorders. The first enzyme of this pathway, glyoxalase I (GlxI), uses methylglyoxal as a substrate requires either Ni(II)/Co(II) or Zn(II) for activity. Here we have investigated the origin different metal ion specificities GlxI subsequent pattern inheritance during evolution. Our results suggest primitive single-domain Ni dependent [Ni-GlxI]. This subsequently evolved into Zn activated [Zn-GlxI]...
ETHYLMALONIC ENCEPHALOPATHY PROTEIN 1 (ETHE1) encodes sulfur dioxygenase (SDO) activity regulating sulfide levels in living organisms. It is an essential gene and mutations ETHE1 leads to ethylmalonic encephalopathy (EE) humans embryo lethality Arabidopsis. At present, very little known regarding the role of beyond context EE almost nothing about factors affecting its regulation plant systems. In this study, we have identified, cloned characterized OsETHE1, a encoding ETHE1-like protein from...
