Introduction Aspergillus is a saprophytic ubiquitous fungi genus, which includes more than 200 species. This genus have positive and negative impact to human being. Some species of Aspergillus have pharmaceutical applications, but at same time, this genus could be pathogen of respiratory diseases, and also it could synthesys potent carcinogens. The most pathogenic specie of Aspergillus for human is A. fumigatus, which causes a wide range of sickness, depending to the immunological system of…

The control was the first row for both amylases. At 0 min. neither one had synthesized anything so this served as the starting point. The independent variable was the temperature; this is what was being changed. The dependent variable was the amylase activity; this is what (should have) changed because of the temperature. The iodine was a marker. It showed whether starch was still present in the wells. From the results, starch was present in all the wells; it was present at every temperature and…

niger produces xylanase enzyme when cultured at different temperatures and maximum enzyme production was observed at 30 C. Aspergillus niger grew well at 28oC (8.98U/ml) when cultivated in Czapex dox media, but xylanase production was significantly decreased at higher temperature (Haltrich et al.,1996). The net temperature is influenced not only by the environmental temperature, but also by the increase in temperature generated from the metabolic activities of the fungi growing on the solid…

In addition to producing extracellular enzymes and citric acid, A. niger is used for waste management and biotransformations. Aspergillus is a group of molds, of which about 200 species have been identified. Aspergillus molds are found throughout the world and are the most common type of fungi in the environment.The fungi is most commonly found in mesophilic environments such as decaying vegetation or soil and plants. of A. niger is important because of its involvement in producing citric acid…

gastrointestinal complications. Voriconazole First, 2nd generation of azole (Triazole) having low molecular weight and water soluble property and approved for first-line treatment against Aspergillus spp, Fusarium spp. and Candida spp. (including the fluconazole resistant or less susceptible spp. of C. glabrata and C. krusei). It also effective against Fusarium and Scedosporium infections which are not easy to treat. Skin rash, transaminase elevation and encephalopathy or hallucinations are some…

Aspergillus aculeatus, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus oryzae , Penicillum expansum ,penicillium funiculosum, Trichoderma harizanum, Talaromyces thermophiles etc (Torres, Gonçalves et al. 2010) Procedure: We can produce GOS using above mention microbes. But here we use Aspergillus oryzae beta galactosidases for production of GOS, immobilized on cotton cloth. Different methods are used like ….  GOS production in immobilized Enzyme Reactor.  GOS production in continuous Reactor. Immobilized…

Why Marijuana Should Not Be Legalized If a person is exposed to marijuana second hand smoke, they may experience some of the effects as well. With the legalization of marijuana, an everyday task such as waiting at the bus stop can turn into an unpleasant situation in a matter of seconds. Consequently, secondhand smoke is just one of the many hazards of marijuana. Cannabis is a tall plant, which is usually dried up to produce a psychotropic drug. It is currently illegal. Marijuana should remain…

bromo-2-(4-chlorophenyl)quinazolin-4(3H)-one derivatives 2-7 were synthesized.. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their anti-microbial activity using the agar diffusion technique . The tested compounds were evaluated against, Gram +ve bacteria , Gram -ve bacteria, Yeast and Filamentous Fungus. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was made in vitro for compounds which showed antimicrobial activity. Compound 3b has broad spectrum activity against Gram +ve bacteria, Gram -ve…
