Flask and reactor scale production of plant growth regulators by : optimization, immobilization and kinetic parameters.

The aims of the presented study are to compare submerged, static, and solid-state fermentation in the production of gibberellic acid (GA), indole acetic acid (IAA), and abscisic acid (ABA) by , to optimize with a statistical approach, and to determine the kinetic parameters under flask and reactor conditions. The maximum concentrations of GA, (2478.85 ± 68.

Level of heavy metals in some edible and poisonous macrofungi from Batman of South East Anatolia, Turkey.

The macrofungi specimens were collected and identified from locations around Batman province of Turkey. A group of 21 macrofungi were collected from 29 different locations and analysed for the heavy metal contents. The highest Pb and Cu levels were found in Russula rubroalba while the highest Cd level was determined for the species Agaricus xanthodermus.
