Background: Prostate cancer (Pca) is a deadly disease prevalent among men, and it accounts for about 7-8 % of mortality globally. Synthetic drugs have proved effective but have limitations and severe side effects. There is, therefore, a need to discover a less expensive, natural therapeutic agent with no side effects in treating the ailment.

- Rhodanese is an important enzyme that helps detoxify cyanide from industrial waste, which is crucial for bioremediation efforts.
- This study focuses on rhodanese produced by the fungus Aspergillus welwitschiae LOT1, revealing its biochemical properties, purification process, and effectiveness in cyanide detoxification.
- Findings show that the enzyme is most effective at pH 7 and 60°C, with high substrate preference and potential for biotechnological uses in detoxifying cyanide.
A serene and pollution-free environment is the desire of the United Nations through its Sustainable Development Goal 11. This research was designed to explore various human endeavours that drive pollution in urban environs in the developing countries with Iwo, Nigeria, as a case study. Out of the four hundred and fifty (450) respondents that were randomly selected, 410 copies of structured questionnaire were completed and returned for analysis.

- The demand for enzymes like phytase is growing due to their applications in the food and animal feed industries, prompting a study on purified phytase from the longhorn beetle.* -
- The enzyme was successfully purified through various methods, achieving an 8.1-fold purification and demonstrating optimal activity at 70°C and pH 7 while maintaining significant activity across a range of pH levels.* -
- The study found that certain ions affected enzyme activity; some (like Ca and Cu) enhanced it while others (like Hg and EDTA) inhibited it, suggesting potential industrial applications for the uniquely sourced phytase.*
