Abstract The current research focuses on anaerobic respiration of arsenic and other toxic metals by purple nonsulfur bacteria (PNSB). Among the optimization assays performed were carbon utilization, cross metal resistance, respiration, along with a comparison each assay in photoheterotrophic chemoheterotrophic growth. identified classification 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequences. Rhodobacter sp. PI3 proved to be more versatile source utilization (acetate, lactate, citrate, oxalate), whereas...

Nonlinear optical (NLO) materials have attracted bounteous scientific attention in the modern era because of their optoelectronic and biological applications. In this respect, an attempt is made to present thermodynamically stable superalkali metals (Li 3 N, Li O, S F)-doped sumanene (C[Formula: see text]H[Formula: text])-based complexes with fine NLO response properties. Nine isomers (I–III N@Sumanene, I–II O@Sumanene, S@Sumanene F@Sumanene) are proposed, geometric, thermodynamic,...

Soil is a rich material containing lots of organic content, minerals, and microbial biodiversity. The microbes present in soil harbor capabilities multitude importance, many which are significant biotechnology wise as well. Production antimicrobial compounds, plant growth promoting metabolites, variety enzymes, nitrogen fixation, ability to bio-transform lot important compounds degrade toxic ones just few the functions that can perform. However, only small fraction microorganisms be cultured...

Spoilage of canned food is a major issue worldwide. The cause spoilage in cans due to bacterial contamination as result mishandling, damage or improper packaging treatment. To avoid and increase the shelf-life food, various preservatives are used. However, it ideal use specific for foods. There need check types organisms causing that can be used against them. current study focuses on isolation facultative anaerobic species which specifically involved items, their characterization...
