Biochemical Conversion Of Acid-Pretreated Water Hyacinth (Eichhornia Crassipes) To Alcohol Using Pichia Stipitis Ncim3497, Sandip S. Magdum, Sandeep M. More, Aiyaj A. Nadaf Dec 2011

Biochemical Conversion Of Acid-Pretreated Water Hyacinth (Eichhornia Crassipes) To Alcohol Using Pichia Stipitis Ncim3497, Sandip S. Magdum, Sandeep M. More, Aiyaj A. Nadaf

Sandip S. Magdum

Cleaning and removal of water hyacinth from lakes and various historical places government spends lacks of rupees per year. High rate of propagation and easy availability, water-hyacinth could be used as a renewable carbon source for alcohol (fuel ethanol) production. Water-hyacinth’s (Eichhornia crassipes) hemicellulose acid hydrolysate has been utilized as a substrate for alcohol production using Pichia stipitis NCIM3497. Acid hydrolysis were carried out by using (1% v/v) sulfuric acid. Perhydrolysate was detoxified, boiled and overlimed up to pH 10.0 with NaOH to produce acid hydrolysate. Acid hydrolysate had higher fermentability than perhydrolysate. Freshly prepared acid hydrolysate was directly used …

Dietary Calcium Induced Cytological And Biochemical Changes In Thyroid, Amar K. Chandra, Haimanti Goswami, Pallav Sengupta Dec 2011

Dietary Calcium Induced Cytological And Biochemical Changes In Thyroid, Amar K. Chandra, Haimanti Goswami, Pallav Sengupta

Pallav Sengupta, PhD

Certain epidemiological studies revealed correlation between hard water consumption (with high calcium) and thyroid size of the population, though the possible alterations in thyroid physiology upon calcium exposure are still inconclusive. Adult male Wistar strain rats were subjected to calcium treatment at the doses of 0.5g%, 1.0g% and 1.5g% calcium chloride (CaCl2) for 60 days. The parameters studied were -thyroid gland weight, histopathology, histomorphometry; thyroid peroxidase (TPO), 5'- deiodinase I (DI), sodium-potassium adenosine triphosphatase (Na+-K+-ATPase) activities; serum total and free thyroxine (tT4, fT4), total and free triiodothyronine (tT3, fT3), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels. Enlargement of thyroid with hypertrophic and …
