Production of gluconic acid from the washed rice waste water using Au/MgO catalyst - A sustainable route.

The majority of the waste produced by the food and agriculture industries is abundant in proteins, carbohydrates, and fats, which can be utilized effectively in other food products or industrial products. Especially, washed rice water (WRW) contains a significant quantity of starch that has been discarded without being utilized properly. In the present investigation, we have successfully upgraded washed rice water into the industrially important intermediate, i.

Protein-ligand binding interactions of imidazolium salts with SARS CoV-2.

The disease called severe acute respiratory syndrome () is a lifestyle intimidating viral contamination affected by a positive, single stranded novel RNA virus () from the enveloped coronaviruse family. The COVID-2019 virus has affected many people, scattering promptly, and researchers are attempting to find out medicines for its effectual cure in all over the globe. Chloroquine () and its derivatives, an older drug used for the cure of malaria, is exposed to encompass a perceptible feasibility and commendable well-being in opposition to SARS CoV-2 associated pneumonia clinical trials conducted in China.

Role of Serratia marcescens ACE2 on diesel degradation and its influence on corrosion.

A facultative anaerobic species Serratia marcescens ACE2 isolated from the corrosion products of diesel transporting pipeline in North West, India was identified by 16S rDNA sequence analysis. The role of Serratia marcesens ACE2 on biodegradation of diesel and its influence on the corrosion of API 5LX steel has been elucidated. The degrading strain ACE2 is involved in the process of corrosion of steel API 5LX and also utilizes the diesel as an organic source.

Biodegradation of corrosion inhibitors and their influence on petroleum product pipeline.

The present study enlightens the role of Bacillus cereus ACE4 on biodegradation of commercial corrosion inhibitors (CCI) and the corrosion process on API 5LX steel. Bacillus cereus ACE4, a dominant facultative aerobic species was identified by 16S rDNA sequence analysis, which was isolated from the corrosion products of refined diesel-transporting pipeline in North West India. The effect of CCI on the growth of bacterium and its corrosion inhibition efficiency were investigated.
