Abstract: Syngas fermentation by acetogenic bacteria present a major bottleneck, which is the low solubility of the substrates (CO and CO2) and, therefore, the low productivity caused by low cell density. In lab scale, many studies are conducted in serum bottles and agitated in incubation shakers with bottles kept vertically. In the present study, the serum bottles were kept horizontally in a new strategy to increase turbulence and, as a consequence, the mas transfer. Cell growth of Clostridium carboxidivorans (DSM 15243), Clostridium ragsdalei (DSM 15248) and Clostridium ljungdahlii (DSM 13528) was increased by the increase in the availability of CO and CO2 in the liquid medium. Cell growth of C.carboxidivoransincreased 3.7 times and the specific growth rate became 50% higher. Ethanol and acetic acid production were also favored by this strategy. C.carboxidivorans was thebest specie for ethanol production.

Abstract: Background: Thyroid dysfunction is one of the most common endocrinological disorders. Consequently, abnormalities of these hormones frequently involve many organ systems producing diverse clinical signs and symptoms which are generally nonspecific. Thus confirmation of a provisional diagnosis of thyroid disorder rests largely upon the biochemical parameters. Aspartate transaminase (AST) is an enzyme found in nearly all living cells. Aim: This study is conducted to see the effects of variation in thyroid hormones on the Aspartate transaminase (AST) levels, thus elucidating the effect on numerous systems of the body..............

Abstract: Phytophthora megakarya is an Oomycete which has a negative impact on Cameroon cocoa production. An assessment of the level of virulence of different isolates of P. megakarya in mono or coinfection was performed on some hybrids of cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) obtained from reciprocal crosses. The isolates tested on eight cocoa hybrids obtained by hand pollinisation were Bakoa, Le4 and Lebdi. Contents of soluble amino acids, sugars, polyphenols and proline were determined using standard methods in mono or coinfected cocoa pods. This study revealed that, the development of the necrotic area in the cortex of cocoa pods was genotype-dependent and isolate-dependent after infection. For this reason, the classification in terms of virulence of isolates was the following..............

Abstract: The effect of crude lysate of Chlorella sp. (CLC) on acetaminophen (APAP)-induced liver injury in male ICR mice was investigated. The CLC is a protein-enriched powder containing around 65% of microalgal proteins. There were no hepatotoxicity and renal toxicity detected in the mice fed with the feed containing CLC with a much high level of 10% for 28 days. The hepatoprotective function of CLC was determined in a mouse model of APAP-induced liver injury. Each CLC supplementation (1, 2.5, and 5% CLC) groups could significantly alleviate the increased serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase..............

Abstract: Plants species are often being exposed to unfavourable environmental conditions such as various abiotic stress factors. These factors play an important role in determining crop productivity and yield. Some examples of abiotic stresses include decreased water availability, extreme temperature, and decreased availability of soil nutrients, excess of toxic ions, excess of light, exposure to heavy metals. The ability of plants to acclimatise to different environments depends mainly on photosynthesis and reproduction. It has been understood after exploring and understanding plant abiotic responses at the whole-plant, physiological, biochemical, cellular and molecular levels that abiotic stresses elicit complex cellular responses .The aim of our study is to determine and understand the effects of salinity..............

Abstract: Dendrobium fimbriatum var.oculatum is an epiphytic orchid of of immense floricultural apppeal as well as some local medicinal values. It is a native to north-eastern India and parts of Indo-Chinese peninsula with a height of about 1m bearing beautiful bunches of bright yellow flowers having a reddish brown blotch in the middle and reddish streaks at the base, mildly scented and flowers lasting for 8-10 days. Like many other orchids of this region, this species is also found to be in the verge of extinction, due to large-scale denundation of forest areas...............

Abstract: The effect of Hippocratea africana root bark extract used traditionally in the treatment of malaria in the South Eastern part of Nigerian on markers of cardiac function (creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB), Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and Troponin-I) on adult male albino Wistar rats was investigated. Twenty-four (24) adult male albino Wistar rats weighing between 100 – 160g were used for the study. They were randomly divided into four (4) groups of six (6) animals each. Group I animals served as the control and were administered 1ml distilled water. Groups II, III and IV served as the test groups and were administered 100, 200 and 300 mg/kg body weight of the root bark extract for 14 days...............

Abstract: The most effectively studied nanoparticles in the current past are those made from the noble metals such as silver, gold and platinum. Nanoparticles find vast applications in various fields ranging from medical to physical fields. To meet the increasing demands for commercial nanoparticles new eco-friendly "green" methods of synthesis are being discovered. Plant mediated synthesis of nanoparticles offers single step, easy extracellular synthesis of nanoparticles. The leaf extract of Ocimum sanctum was used as a reducing agent for the synthesis of platinum nanoparticles from an aqueous chloroplatinic acid (H2PtCl6·6H2O). A greater conversion of platinum ions to nanoparticles was achieved by employing a Tulsi leaf broth with a reaction temperature of 100 °C................

Abstract: Erythrococca anomala is an annual medicinal plant of the family Euphorbiaceae, widely used in traditional medicine in Côte d'Ivoire and sub-Saharan Africa as an anti-inflammatory, laxative and purgative. In the present work, the aim was to quantify the total phenols and flavonoids of the aqueous and hydroethanolic extracts of the leaves by the spectrophotometric method and to evaluate the antioxidant activity in vitro and in vivo of these extracts at the concentration of 200 mg / kg by the DPPH, ABTS+, FRAP and TBARS tests. Quantitative estimation of flavonoids and total phenols showed that the extract is rich in these compounds as the hydroethanolic extract................
