Review of environmental organopollutants degradation by white- rot basidiomycete mushrooms
Authors: Robles Hernández Ph.D. Loreto , González Franco Dra. Ana Cecilia , Crawford Donald L. , C. Chun Wesley W.
Published: March 2022

White-rot fungi consist of a group of basidiomycetes that are able to remove lignin, cellulose, and hemicellulose concurrently at approximately equal rates. These fungi produce three enzymes commonly known as lignin-modifying enzymes (LMEs) that are responsible for the degradation of wood components. These enzymes are produced during the secondary metabolism under an obligatory aerobic process and are induced by nutrient starvation, low pH, and high concentrations of Mn. We focused this review on the source of environmental organopollutants and the role that these white-rot fungi play on the transformation or mineralization of the environmental contaminants. These recalcitrant compounds originate mainly from human contamination. White-rot fungi or their enzymes showed mineralization of many environmental contaminants such as 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis(4-chlorophenyl) ethane (DDT), 2, 4, 6-Trinitrotoluene (TNT); polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB’s); polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH’s); wood preservatives; some synthetic dyes; and bleach-derived from paper producing plants.

Authors: Kaur Navneet , Gill R.I. , Singh Baljit
Published: March 2022

A field experiment was conducted during rabi 2007-08 to study the response of Coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) to different levels of seed rate (25, 31.25 and 37.5 kg/ha) and nitrogen ((37.5, 75, 112.5 and 150 kg/ha) grown in association with five year old Poplar spaced at 5x4 m. The height and dbh of Poplar was 17.58 m and 18.27 cm respectively. The Coriander crop intercropped with Poplar responded positively to higher seed rate and nitrogen levels than recommended to sole crop. Increasing levels of nitrogen from 37.5 to 112.5 kg/ha and seed rate from 25 to 31.25 kg/ha increased all growth and yield attributes and recorded significantly more seed and straw yields. The interaction between seed rate and nitrogen was significant for plant height, umbels per plant, 1000 seed weight, straw and seed yield. The combination of 31.25 kg/ha seed rate and 112.5 kg/ha N gave highest seed yield of 5.83 q/ha which was 33.3% more than that obtained with recommended seed rate (25 kg/ha) and nitrogen level (75 kg/ha).

Human beings are created as the best of Allah’s creation and are gifted with mental faculties. To keep these mental faculties on the righteous path, Allah sent a series of Prophets. Prophets are used to pave the path between Allah and His people. They make the people follow the orders of Holy Books and scriptures. They not only advised the people to follow the orders of Allah but also practiced those instructions for the ease of people. The Prophets are assigned the duty to guide the people and people are also guided to respect and follow their teachings. The sacredness of Prophets is the essence of all divine religions including Islam, but the people of previous divine religions not only altered their divine books but also disrespect their Prophets. In Judaism, many things about Prophets are added in their religious literature which is not appropriate. In the Old Testament, Prophets are blamed in a certain way that their dignity and sacredness are challenged. It is described that the Prophets committed adultery murders and many more sins. Moreover, these dignitaries are proved sexually appealed like other masses that Islamic teachings are totally different from these. In this article, the comparison between Quranic teachings and the Old Testament has been discussed in this regard and outcomes have been explained in brief.

Tafsīr ahkaam ul_Qura’n is an excellent commentary of Abu Bakr ibn al-Arabi. Qadi ibn al-Arabi was the great scholar and master of Maliki Jurisprudence. The ahkaam ul_Qura’n is called jurisprudential commentaries. In these tafaseers, only those verses of the Qur’an which deal with jurisprudential issues are interpreted. Ahkaam ul-Qur’an is a comprehensive commentary of the Holy which is written in the Arabic language. Tafsīr Ahkaam ul-Qur’an has a great influence on the Maliki tafsiri literature because it was the first Tafsīri work by Maliki Jurisprudence after the Ahkaam ul-Qur’an by Imam Shafi’i. Ibn al-Arabi gives verses of the Holy Qur’an and then chapter names. Qadi ibn al-Arabi has adopted the old style of tafsir. He brings those verses in which jurisprudence problems were discussed. It is observed in Ahkaam-Qur’an that “Qadi ibn al-Arabi” is a great defender of Malki jurisprudence, but he brings the views of the other three schools of thought and rejects the verdict of other jurisprudence scholars. At many palaces, he brings the Hadiths with different asnad in the favored of Malki school of thought.

Identifying the metabolic profile of farm animals constitutes an important tool for the clinical diagnosis of metabolic diseases that can affect animal production performance. This study investigates the prepartum metabolic profile of ewes reared in two feeding systems native pasture and cultivated pasture of black oat and ryegrass and their effects on lamb development. Forty adult Texel ewes and their lambs were used and evaluated for metabolites representative of energy, protein, and mineral metabolism in the prepartum period. Ewes kept on cultivated pasture exhibited higher glucose levels than those kept on native pasture (59.67 vs. 31.98 mg/dL, respectively), whereas those kept on native pasture had higher serum Ca and P levels (7.62 and 4.58 mg/dL, respectively) than the ewes on cultivated pasture (6.21 and 3.73 mg/dL, respectively). Albumin was higher in the ewes with single pregnancy (2.92 vs. 2.76 g/dL), while urea levels were affected by the interaction between feeding system and type of pregnancy. Prepartum levels of glucose, phosphorus, and calcium in the blood of the ewes were correlated with lamb weight at 30 days. The feeding system influenced the metabolic profile of the ewes in the prepartum period, with lamb weight at 30 days of age being mainly associated with the mother's glucose level at the end of the gestation period.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of increasing rates of poultry litter biochar incubated in soil for different periods on soil fertility attributes and the development of the radish plant. An experiment was carried out in a greenhouse at the Federal University of Campina Grande - UFCG. Treatments consisted of the combination of two factors: four incubation times (0, 30, 60, and 90 days) and four biochar rates (12.5, 25.0, 37.5, 50.0 t ha-1), in three replications, totalizing 48 experimental plots, in a completely randomized design. After the incubation period, soil samples were collected from each experimental unit and chemically characterized. Following this, radish was sown and cultivated for up to 30 days. The agronomic development of radish was evaluated based on the following variables: leaf area; leaf area ratio; specific leaf area; shoot biomass production index; transverse and longitudinal tuber diameters; and fresh and dry tuber biomasses. Under the present experimental conditions, biochar increases soil fertility levels and is able to supply nutrients to the plants in a short period, increasing plant variables.

The demand for high-quality vegetable seeds and the production of vigorous seedlings has increased in recent years, as these characteristics are determining factors of production success. Vegetables are growing in national importance, and kale stands out as an important source of income for small farmers. The objective of this study was to adapt the traditional accelerated aging test methodology with a saturated NaCl solution of kale seeds and evaluate the enzymatic activity after the vigour test. Six batches of kale seeds were used, and the moisture content, weight of one thousand seeds, first germination count, germination, germination speed index, emergence, initial stand, and emergence velocity index were determined. In the accelerated ageing test, the seeds were submitted to the traditional accelerated ageing test method and the accelerated ageing test method with a saturated NaCl solution for ageing periods of 0, 24, 48, 72, and 96 hours. Electrophoretic analysis of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) isoenzymes was also performed. The accelerated ageing test, using the traditional method for 72 hours at 41 °C, is adequate for evaluating the physiological potential of kale seeds. The isoenzymatic analyses of SOD, CAT, and ADH demonstrate that the biochemical markers are efficient at differentiating kale seeds after accelerated ageing.

Research focused on female gamete vitrification has increased attention to develop a reliable cryopreservation method to preserve immature equine oocytes. Despite the intensive implementation of biotechnological procedures for horse breeding, vitrification of immature equine cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) remain to be clearly elucidated. We aimed to determine the relative transcript level of target genes Bone morphogenetic protein 15 (BMP15); Bcl-2-associated X protein (BAX); and Caspase 3 (CASP3) in equine COCs prior to and after vitrification. Ovarian follicles were aspirated from ovaries collected from an abattoir. A total of 240 COCs were collected and distributed into vitrified COCs (VIT, n=120) and non-vitrified (Non-VIT, n=120) groups. Then, COCs were preserved and relative transcript expressions of BMP15, BAX, CASP3 were measured and normalized against GAPDH performed by qRT-PCR. In addition, 38 COCs were evaluated to assess chromatin configuration of germinal vesicl e stage prior and after vitrification by exposure to 10 μg/ml of bisbenzimide. A difference was observed in the COCs’ mRNA level of abundance for the BAX gene between the VIT (2.05 ± 0.47) and (0.85 ± 0.08) Non-VIT groups. There was no difference in mRNA relative transcript level of CASP3 and BMP15 in Non-VIT (0.63 ± 0.20 and 1.55 ± 0.73, respectively) compared to VIT (0.64 ± 0.01 and 2.84 ± 2.20, respectively) equine COCs. All COCs where considered at immature stage of development even though COCs in Non-VIT group showed higher condensed chromatin configuration compared to VIT (100% vs 60.7%, respectively). We demonstrate that BMP15 and CASP3 are detected in VIT and Non-VIT immature COCs. In conclusion, BAX is expressed highly in vitrified immature equine COCs and indicates that activation of apoptosis signaling cascades in cells exposed to vitrification.

Published: March 2022

Wireless power transmission (WPT) is the method that transferring electrical energy from power source to electrical without any physical contact and it can be used to transfer power to electricity dependent systems or devices. In WPT, electromagnetic energy is produced to transmit the energy from power source (transmitter) to the load (receiver) via resonant inductive coupling. This article focuses on the design of a resonant inductive coupling using parallel-T topology in coupling WTR and combined of single transmitter with multiple receivers. In addition, principle of magnetic wave between the transmitter and receiver with related parameters is utilized to develop in WPT. A parallel-T topology that consists of T-matching network for secondary side is proposed as it is more suitable for weak coupling wireless power transfer applications. Besides that, three circuits are designed to show the resonant inductive coupling for WTP which including the circuit with and without matching network and the circuit of single transmitter with multiple receivers. The simulation of output voltage and output current are observed to relate the effects of frequency on the circuit. The graph of output voltage and power are plotted to show the pattern on effect of the frequencies to the resonant inductive coupling circuit.
