BIOSYNTHESIS OF SILVER NANOPARTICLE AND ITS APPLICATION IN CELL WALL DISRUPTION TO RELEASE CARBOHYDRATE AND LIPID FROM C. VULGARIS FOR BIOFUEL PRODUCTION

Biosynthesis of silver nanoparticle and its application in cell wall disruption to release carbohydrate and lipid from C. vulgaris for biofuel production

Microalgae are the fledging feedstocks yielding raw materials for the production of third generation biofuel.Assorted and conventional cell wall disruption techniques were helpful in extracting lipids and carbohydrates, nevertheless the disadvantages have led the biotechnologists to explore new process to lyse cell wall in a faster and an economica

Insights from common buzzard broods on the interaction between Leucocytozoon infection, watercourse habitats and simuliid blackfly vectors

Blood parasites of the genus Leucocytozoon commonly infect many bird species worldwide and are particularly prevalent in birds of prey.As a vector-borne parasitic disease, the infection occurrence overlaps with that of the dominant vectors: blackflies (Diptera, Simuliidae).These blood-sucking insects are dependent on habitats with flowing freshwate
