Microalgal starch is a potential feedstock for biofuel production. The effects of KNO(3) and MgSO(4) concentrations and light intensity on biomass and starch production by the marine microalga, Tetraselmis subcordiformis, were investigated. Under 200 μmol m(-2) s(-1) irradiance and sulfur-deprived

Bacteria play important roles in mineral weathering and soil formation. However, few reports of mineral weathering bacteria inhabiting subsurfaces of soil profiles have been published, raising the question of whether the subsurface weathering bacteria are fundamentally distinct from those in
Fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) were produced from palm oil using eggshell modified with magnesium and potassium nitrates to form a composite, low-cost heterogeneous catalyst for transesterification. The catalyst, prepared by the combination of impregnation/co-precipitation was calcined at 830 °C
We successfully developed a method for metabolic isotope labeling of recombinant proteins produced in transgenic tobacco. This enabled assessment of structural integrity of plant-derived therapeutic antibodies by NMR analysis. A variety of expression vehicles have been developed for the production

A highly efficient Zn(2+) "turn-on" fluorescent sensor, [4'-benzo-15-crown-5]N=CH-(2-OH-C(6)H(4)) (HL), has been synthesized. In the presence of Zn(NO(3))(2), displays high selectivity and sensitive enhancement of fluorescence intensity in water with the formation of [ZnL(2)]. Addition of an equimolar amount of KNO(3)
