The hunt for alternative sources of energy generation that are inexpensive, ecofriendly, renewable and can replace fossil fuels is on, owing to the increasing demands energy. One approach in this direction conversion plant residues into biofuels wherein lignocellulose, which forms structural framework plants consisting cellulose, hemicellulose lignin, first broken down hydrolyzed simple fermentable sugars, upon fermentation form such as ethanol. A major bottleneck disarray lignin present a...

Today we are witnessing a global energy crisis due to huge demands and limited resources. Non-renewable sources depleting renewable not properly utilized. There is an immediate need for search of alternate routes generation. Microbial fuel cell (MFC) technology, which uses microorganisms transform chemical organic compounds into electricity considered promising alternative. Extensive studies have corroborated new insights MFC, show that wide array carbon including wastes can be employed...

Laccases belongs to multinuclear copper-containing oxidase and can act on a variety of aromatic non-aromatic compounds. Due their broad substrate specificity, they are considered as promising candidate in various industrial biotechnological sectors. They regarded "Green Tool"/"Green Catalyst" biotechnology. The present review focuses structure, reaction mechanism, categories, applications, economic feasibility, limitations, future prospects fungal laccases. Thus, this would help...

The present study is an attempt to optimize simultaneous production of keratinolytic protease, amylase and biosurfactant from feather meal, potato peel rape seed cake in a single media by response surface methodology evaluate their biochemical properties for detergent additive. optimization was carried out using 20 run, 3 factor 5-level central composite design on expert software which resulted 1.2, 0.84 2.28 fold increase production. proteolytic activity found be optimum at pH 9.0 60 °C...

Overuse of water has led to the degradation and scarcity limited resources, which prompted modern world adopt sustainable measures save by increasing its reuse recycling. The use microbial-based green technology treat wastewater appeared outweigh conventional treatment (WWT) technologies because this emerging overcomes many shortcomings systems. main objective review is illustrate different types microorganisms used in various bioreactor configurations for polluted water. This also...

We have described earlier a gene cluster, including at least six interferon-activatable genes closely linked to the erythroid α spectrin locus and serum amyloid P-component on murine chromosome 1. Here, we report that sequences of three from cluster (the 201, 202, 204 genes) are very similar in segment extending 550 nucleotides upstream 3′ end transcription initiation region beyond first exon intron border (96% similarity between 202 89% 201 genes). This contains following two types...

Feathers are the major byproducts of poultry industry and considered as waste. (composed protein keratin) metabolized by a number microorganisms source carbon nitrogen. Degradation feathers results in production amino acids peptides, which can be employed precursors for plant growth-promoting metabolites such indole acetic acid, ammonia HCN. The aim present investigation was to assess influence these (termed feather hydrolysate) on growth promotion activity keratinolytic bacterial strain...

Malachite green (MG) is a triphenyl methane cationic dye which used to color fabrics and employed as food additive, coloring agent medical disinfectant. MG found be toxic aquatic organisms, animals including humans. Copper commonly metal in environment due anthropogenic activities. Most of the microorganisms show sensitivity toward it. This adversely affects their growth activity. In present study, biodegradation by copper-tolerant bacterium has been investigated. Biodegradation was...

Silver nanoparticles (SNPs) are used extensively in areas such as medicine, catalysis, electronics, environmental science, and biotechnology. Therefore, facile synthesis of SNPs from an eco-friendly, inexpensive source is a prerequisite. In the present study, fabrication leaf extract Butea monosperma (Flame Forest) has been performed. were synthesized 1% solution characterized by ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The mechanism SNP formation was...

An efficient keratinolytic strain of Stenorophomonas maltophilia KB13 was isolated from feather disposal site Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh, India. The could metabolize 10 g/l chicken feathers as sole source carbon and nitrogen. Soluble protein, amino acid, cysteine content were found to be maximum (690.6 ± 8.7, 688.9 9.12 21 0.36 µg/ml, respectively) at late logarithmic phase growth. Protease keratinase activity reached its level (103.26 7.09 178.5 9.10 U/ml) the 4th day incubation. protein...

Keratinolytic potential of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain SDS3 has been evaluated for the metabolism chicken feathers. Results indicated that showed complete 0.1 and 0.5% (w/v) feathers in minimal medium. Feathers were metabolized up to 80% at 1% concentration. Maximum soluble protein (<mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" id="M1"><mml:mn>480.8</mml:mn><mml:mo>±</mml:mo><mml:mn>17.1</mml:mn></mml:math> μ g/mL) keratinase...
