Abstract

Whey- a byproduct of the manufacture of cheese has several commercial uses. The present study was undertaken to explore the microbial load of the whey and the possible existence of biopolymer (PHB) producing microorganisms in this byproduct. Whey samples collected from different vendors in the locality of Mirpur, Dhaka were brought into laboratory and the microbial load was determined by serial dilution technique using nutrient agar and YEPD medium. From 30 colonies, 32 strains were preliminarily isolated. Out of 32 isolates, fifteen exhibited pink fluorescence on mineral medium, indicating the presence of PHB production inside cells. Among these, seven strains were identified as members of the genera Candida tropicalis; based on molecular characterization. The remaining 8 isolates were bacteria. It is interesting to note that, yeast isolates were obtained from locally vendored samples whereas bacterial strains were predominant in commercial samples. This work can be considered as the first step in the development of an ecofriendly bio-refinery pathway for cheese industry.

Abstract

Low soil fertility can constrain the paddy red rice yield. One of the efforts to increase paddy red rice production at the Tidal swamp area is using iron toxicity tolerant varieties. The objectives of this research were (i) to evaluate the agronomic responses of red paddy rice to low nutrient supply to determine the sensitive character and (ii) to identify the tolerant and nutrient-efficient variety under low nutrient supply in a tidal swamp area. The experiment was conducted at Tidal Swamp Area Type B, Telang Sari Village, Banyuasin District, South Sumatra Province. The experimental design was Split Plot with five replications. Nutrient supply was the main plot, and the Varieties (Inpara 7; Inpago 7, Aek Sibundong, and Telang Sari) were the subplot. The nutrient supply treatments were H1: standard fertilizer rate and H2: low nutrient supply, which is 30% of the standard rate. The results showed that Inpago 7 and Inpara 7 were potential varieties at low nutrient supply. The sensitive characteristics of the varieties evaluated were chlorophyll content, number of tillers, grain weight, and percentage of empty grain for growth and production characters.

Abstract

Pahawang Island is one of Lampung's tourist attractions known for its high organism biodiversity. The diversity of coral reefs contained in it causes Pahawang to have economic value for the audience. This study aims to determine the coverage and condition of coral reefs in the Pahawang area as a tourist attraction and identify the diversity of organisms within. This study used the Line Intercept Transect (LIT) method by dividing the plot of the observation area by six (6) identification points for data collection. Measurement data on each line transect, furthermore the closing value is calculated. The number of species was calculated by determining the value of the invertebrate diversity index. The results showed that the length of coral cover on Pahawang Island was 80.3% which lies in the “very good” category. Most of the corals have experienced bleaching which suggests that the corals are not in healthy condition. Species diversity shows that eleven (11) species reside in the Pahawang Island coral reef. The Shanon-Wiener diversity index value (H') 1.87 is categorized at the medium level. Therefore, the condition of coral cover on Pahawang Besar Island is still in the very good category.

Abstract

Rice is one of the most consumed grains not only in Iran but also in many other countries and it is vital to decrease the amount of heavy metals in rice. The aim of current study was to investigate the impact of coffee bean waste (CBW) and Rice Husk ( RH) as bio-adsorbent on reducing Lead, Arsenic, Cadmium and Nickel in rice (Oryza sativa). 950 rice samples were collected from different Tehran markets. Samples were prepared to extract heavy metals contents in raw, rinsed, soaked by adsorbent and cooked and drained rice states, were determined and measured using wet digestion method . Final concentration of heavy metals in rice samples were analyzed using Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy according to AOAC International Standard. Batch adsorption experiments were carried out to evaluate the effects of adsorbent-dosage, state of samples and ionic strength of solution on the adsorption of heavy metals onto bio-adsorbent that was simply gathered from nut and homemade wastes .Cadmium contents of samples were completely removed in cooking method, treated by the mixture of specified percentages of CBW and RH. Lead and Nickel contents decreased significantly (p<0.05) in all cooking methods. The findings of current study indicate that Food /Agro waste can be utilized beneficially in treating rice containing heavy metal ions.

Abstract

Excessive consumption of paracetamol may lead to hepatic necrosis, nephrotoxicity, extra-hepatic lesions, and even fatality in both humans and animals. The objective of this study was to examine the histological changes in the hepatocytes of yellow rasbora (Rasbora lateristriata) exposed to paracetamol. The fish were subjected to varying concentrations of paracetamol over a period of four days. Group I served as the control group without any paracetamol exposure. Groups II, III, and IV were exposed to 2, 3, and 4 mg/L of paracetamol, respectively. A total of six individuals were allocated to each of the four experimental groups. The histological analysis of the hepatic tissue following paracetamol exposure at concentrations of 2, 3, and 4 mg/L revealed hepatic damage characterized by picnosis, necrosis, and vacuolization. In summary, higher concentrations of paracetamol were associated with an increase in the severity of histopathological changes in the hepatic tissues of yellow rasbora.
