TL;DR: Ammonia solution (0·03 m ) was used to extract starch from various tuber crops by the conventional settling method as mentioned in this paper, and it was found that there was noticeable improvement in the yield of starch from Colocasia (6-16%), while it fell for sweet potato starch and remained almost the same for the other starches.

TL;DR: Yeasts and yeast-like organisms were chosen for the aerobic treatment of cassava starch factory effluent, and a mixed culture of Candida utills and Endomycopsis fibuliger efficiently utilized both starch and free sugars.
Abstract: Yeasts and yeast-like organisms were chosen for the aerobic treatment of cassava starch factory effluent. A mixed culture of Candida utills and Endomycopsis fibuliger efficiently and rapidly utilized both starch and free sugars. After 28 h fermentation the protein content of the biomass was 22% (w/w), which remained unchanged during the remainder of the fermentation (60 h). This treatment removed 94% of the COD and 91% of the BOD.

TL;DR: Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) embryos excised from the fertilized ovules of 6- to 12-day-old capsules were cultured on MS medium supplemented with NAA, BA, GA separately and in combinations and GA was found essential for initial morphogenesis of globular and heart stages.
Abstract: Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) embryos excised from the fertilized ovules of 6- to 12-day-old capsules were cultured on MS medium supplemented with NAA, BA, GA separately and in combinations. GA was found essential for initial morphogenesis of globular and heart stages. Seedlings were recovered from late globular stage onwards but recovery was best from advanced embryo stages. Differentiated embryos produced multiple shoots on MS medium +1μM NAA÷2μM BA +0.5μM GA.

TL;DR: The cyanide-degrading fungusRhizopus oryzae associated with post-harvest spoilage of cassava (Manihot esculenta L.) oxidized S0 to S2O3 2−, S4O6 2− and SO4 2− in culture and when grown in autoclaved soil amended with S0.

2− in culture and when grown in autoclaved soil amended with S0. Oxidation of sulfur was associated with rhodanese activity of the fungus.
