Pharmaceuticals have emerged as a major group of environmental contaminants over the
past decade but relatively little is known about their occurrence in freshwaters compared to …

The environmental impact of agricultural waste from the processing of food and feed crops
is an increasing concern worldwide. Concerted efforts are underway to develop sustainable …

Five different processes were investigated to produce acetone–butanol–ethanol (ABE) from
wheat straw (WS) by Clostridium beijerinckii P260. The five processes were fermentation of …

The composition of thermophilic (60C) mixed cellulose-degrading enrichment culture initiated
from compost samples was examined by constructing a 16S rRNA gene clone library and …

We have used the yeast two-hybrid system to isolate cDNAs encoding proteins that specifically
interact with the 42-aa β-amyloid peptide (Aβ), a major constituent of senile plaques in …

The present study investigated the cultivable mesophilic (37C) and thermophilic (60C)
cellulose-degrading bacterial diversity in a weathered soil-like sample collected from the deep …

Strains of thermophilic bacilli were screened for cellulolytic activity by gel diffusion assay on
selective medium at 55C. Strain B-41361, identified as a strain of Bacillus licheniformis, …

Research addressing the occurrence, fate and effects of pharmaceuticals in the aquatic
environment has expanded rapidly over the past two decades, primarily due to the development …

Inulins are polysaccharides that belong to an important class of carbohydrates known as
fructans and are used by many plants as a means of storing energy. Inulins contain 20 to …

The goal of this investigation was to determine the effect of a xylose transport system on
glucose and xylose co-consumption as well as total xylose consumption in Saccharomyces …
