Mycoplasma Like Organisms or Pleuro Pneumonia Like Organisms (PPLO)
Abstract: Mycoplasma like Organisms is the smallest of microorganisms causing plant disease. Viruses are acutely small (they can be seen only with the aid of an electron microscope), being composed of nothing more than a protein shell consisting a small amount of genetic material. Plant viruses commonly survive year-round in perennial weeds and trees or insect vectors, and are transmitted to other plants via feeding activities of certain insects, usually aphids, …

Pressure Swing Adsorption – A Review
Abstract: Pressure swing adsorption (PSA) depends on air being filtered through aluminosilicate minerals known as zeolites. This review paper gives a silhouette about the PSA, mechanism of working and use of zeolites in PSA. The one use for PSA oxygen has been specially designed so that nitrogen gas is adsorbed onto it while oxygen (and argon) passes straight through. The zeolite is instantly saturated with nitrogen, so two zeolite beds are …
