Alkaliphilic Microbes: Distribution, Diversity and Applications
Abstract: ABSTRACTAlkaliphiles are widely distributed in all domains of life viz. eubacteria, archaea and eukarya. Alkaliphilic microbes present in both near neutral and extreme habitats. These can grow vigorously and develop well at alkaline range of pH 8–10. About 63 alkaline lakes are present worldwide and there are only three mesmerizing crater lakes. Worldwide there are five alkaline soda lakes in Ethopia (Africa), six in Kenya and Tanzania (Africa), two in …

Effect of Pretreatment of Wheat Bran for the Production of Glucoamylase by Aspergillus niger
Abstract: ABSTRACTWheat bran is a complex food waste which contain different nutritional compound in complex form. Microorganisms are not able to utilize these complex foods. The complex food of wheat bran can be simplified by pretreatment method. In this present study the wheat bran are treated with acid and alkali for hydrolysis of complex food in to simple food and then the production of glucoamylase were carried out by Aspergillus Niger. …

Eco Friendly Water Purifier through UV+RO in Rural Areas
Abstract: ABSTRACTA study on the performance of raw water or tap water purifier was conducted between January to May in 2016. The Raw water or tap water was treated through the “advanced biotech techniques” i.e., solar panel TDS meter, UV lamp, RO membrane, TDS controller and UF (Ultra filtration). It was observed that raw water or tap water is more unhygienic which is very harmful for us. RO membrane and UV …

Environment Friendly, Exterior Grade Resin Adhesive from Phenol-Animal Glue Formaldehyde (PGF)
Abstract: Phenoplast and aminoplast based resins are the important adhesive for the manufacturing of marine grade, shuttering and moisture resistance plywood. Environmental concerns and higher cost of petroleum based resins have resulted in the development of technologies to replace phenol partially by biomaterials for the manufacturing of resin adhesive. Natural bio-based materials such as tannin, CNSL (cardanol), lignin soya etc. are used as partial substitution of phenol. This paper presents the …
