Mangrove tree aerial root extract mediated green synthesis of Ag/FeO/rGO nanocomposite and its application as a catalyst for one pot synthesis of 7-phenyl-6H,7H-benzo[4,5]imidazo[2,1-b]chromeno[4,3-d][1,3]thiazin-6-one derivatives.

In this study, we report the green preparation of magnetically separable Ag/FeO/rGO nanocomposites using mangrove tree aerial root extract as a stabilising agent. The morphology, size, chemical composition, magnetic property and other characteristic parameters of synthesised Ag/FeO/rGO nanocomposite were determined by analytical techniques like Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The results proved that mangrove tree aerial root extract has the ability to reduce Ag ions, graphene oxide (GO) to Ag nanoparticle and reduced graphene oxide (rGO), respectively.

Efficient qualitative risk assessment of pipelines using relative risk score based on machine learning.

Pipelines are observed one of the economic modes of transport for transporting oil, gas, and water between various locations. Most of the countries in the world transport petroleum and other flammable products through underground pipelines. The underground and aboveground pipelines are facing various damages due to corrosion, dents, and ruptures due to the environment and operational fluid conditions.

Molecular cloning and expression of thermostable glucose-tolerant β-glucosidase of Penicillium funiculosum NCL1 in Pichia pastoris and its characterization.

A partial peptide sequence of β-glucosidase isoform (Bgl4) of Penicillium funiculosum NCL1 was identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. The cDNA (bgl4) encoding Bgl4 protein was cloned from P. funiculosum NCL1 RNA by consensus RT-PCR.

Production, purification, and characterization of a β-glucosidase of Penicillium funiculosum NCL1.

Penicillium funiculosum NCL1, a filamentous fungus, produced significantly higher levels of β-glucosidase. The effect of initial pH, incubation temperature, and different carbon sources on extracellular β-glucosidase production was studied in submerged fermentation. At 30 °C with initial pH 5.
