TL;DR: Malachite green (50 mg/L) was completely decolorized under static anoxic condition within 5 h by bacteria Kocuria rosea MTCC 1532; however decolorization was not observed at shaking condition as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: Malachite green (50 mg/L) was completely decolorized under static anoxic condition within 5 h by bacteria Kocuria rosea MTCC 1532; however decolorization was not observed at shaking condition. K. rosea have also shown decolorization of azo, triphenylmethane and industrial dyes (cotton blue, methyl orange, reactive blue 25, direct blue-6, reactive yellow 81, and red HE4B). Semi-synthetic media containing molasses, urea and sucrose have shown 100, 91, 81% decolorization respectively. Induction in the activities of malachite green reductase and DCIP reductase was observed during MG decolorization suggesting their involvement in the decolorization process. UV-Visible absorption spectrum, HPLC and FTIR analysis showed degradation of MG. Toxicity study revealed the degradation of MG into non-toxic products by K. rosea.

TL;DR: In this article, an ATR-FTIR spectrometry technique (ReactIR 4000) with light conduit and diamond-composite sensor was used to perform in-line monitoring of phenol-formaldehyde prepolymer synthesis.
Abstract: Different resol phenol-formaldehyde prepolymer resins have been synthesized with different formaldehyde / phenol ratios. The phenolic resin composition depends on monomer ratio, catalyst, reaction conditions, and residual free monomers. Temperature and pH conditions under which reactions of phenols with formaldehyde are carried out have a profound effect on the characteristics of the resulting products. Three reaction sequences must be considered: formaldehyde addition to phenol, chain growth or prepolymer formation and finally the crosslinking or curing reaction. Two prepolymer types are obtained depending on pH, novolacs in an acidic pH region whereas resols by alkaline reaction. Resol resins are synthesized with a molar excess of formaldehyde (1

TL;DR: In this article, the most important wheat grain components and their nutritional value are discussed and the opportunities of plant breeding and other technologies to improve the nutritional quality of wheat are also discussed.
Abstract: Deficiencies of micronutrients such as iron, zinc, and vitamin A (“hidden hunger”) afflict over three billion people. Currently there is an increasing preference among consumers for foods that contain not only traditional nutrients but also provide other compounds that are beneficial to health and well-being. Food systems that feed the world must be changed in ways that will insure that balanced nutrient supplies are available continuously to all people in adequate, affordable amounts. This paper reviews about the most important wheat grain components and their nutritional value. The opportunities of plant breeding and other technologies to improve the nutritional quality of wheat are also discussed.

TL;DR: A bacterium identified as Rhizobium radiobacter MTCC 8161 was isolated from effluent treatment plant of textile and dying industry of Ichalkaranji, India.
Abstract: A bacterium identified as Rhizobium radiobacter MTCC 8161 was isolated from effluent treatment plant of textile and dying industry of Ichalkaranji, India. The bacterial isolate Rhizobium radiobacter MTCC 8161 was capable of decolorizing various azo, triphenylmethane (TPM), disperse and reactive textile dyes with decolorizing efficiency varying from 80-95%. This strain decolorized (90%) a deep red sulfonated diazo dye Reactive Red 141 (50 mg/L ) with 0.807 mg of dye reduced/g of dry cells/h of specific decolorization rate in static anoxic condition at optimum pH 7.0 and temperature 30 °C with 83.33% reduction in COD. The degradation efficiency of this strain using urea and yeast extract showed fast decolorization among different carbon, nitrogen source. The induction of various oxidative and reductive enzymes indicates involvement of these enzymes in color removal. Phytotoxicity studies revealed less toxic nature of decolorized products (1000 mg /L) as compared to original dye. FTIR spectroscopy and GC-MS analysis indicated naphthalene diazonium, p-dinitrobenzene and 2- nitroso naphthol as the final products of Reactive Red 141.

TL;DR: Biosensors represent promising analytical tools applicable in areas such as clinical diagnosis, food industry, environment monitoring and in other fields, where rapid and reliable analyses are needed.
Abstract: Biosensors represent promising analytical tools applicable in areas such as clinical diagnosis, food industry, environment monitoring and in other fields, where rapid and reliable analyses are needed. Some biosensors were successfully implemented in the commercial sphere, but majority needs to be improved in order to overcome some imperfections. This review covers the basic types, principles, constructions and use of biosensors as well as new trends used for their fabrication.
