Eco-friendly approach for tannery effluent treatment and CO sequestration using unicellular green oleaginous microalga Tetradesmus obliquus TS03.

The present study explored the process of bioremediation, sequestration of carbon dioxide, and biofuel production using multifarious potent freshwater microalgae Tetradesmus obliquus TS03. The heavy metals were reduced, viz., 8.

Integrating eco-technological approach for textile dye effluent treatment and carbon dioxide capturing from unicellular microalga RDS03: a synergistic method.

A pilot-scale treatment method was used in the present study to test the biosorption of textile dye from textile effluent and carbon dioxide using RDS03. The textile dye effluent treatment achieved that textile dye biosorption capacity (q) rate of 98.84% on 15 days of treatment using RDS03.

Metal biosorption by magnetotactic bacteria isolated from fresh water sediments and characterization of extracted magnetosomes.

The focus of the present study is to isolate and identify magnetotactic bacteria from fresh water sediments in Salem region, Tamil Nadu. Fresh water sediments were collected and characterized by X-ray diffraction to detect the crystalline nature of particles. Totally 12 isolates were screened for the metal biosorption efficiency in modified nutrient agar plates with 10 mg (lower concentration) of four different metals viz.

Pilot scale wastewater treatment, CO sequestration and lipid production using microalga, RDS02.

In present investigation carried out large-scale treatment of tannery effluent by the cultivation of microalgae, RDS02. The tannery effluent treatment revealed that significant reduction heavy metals were chromium-3.59, lead-2.

Exploration of green integrated approach for effluent treatment through mass culture and biofuel production from unicellular alga, RDS01.

This study deals with the open pond (OP) pilot scale treatment of cassava effluent and enhancement of Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCO) enzyme through CO utilization by the microalga, RDS01. The cassava effluent treatment (ET) revealed maximum reduction of ammonia (96.8%), calcium (94.

Molecular characterization and antioxidant assay of pigment producing bacteria, and isolated from fresh water sediments.

This study focuses on isolation of pigment producing bacteria from fresh water sediment. The isolated bacteria were grown in nutrient broth and the maximum absorbance of 2.512 was obtained for the extracted pigment at 500 nm.

Outcomes of pterygium surgery-glue versus autologous blood versus sutures for graft fixation-an analysis.

Aim: The aim of this study is to compare the surgical outcomes of pterygium excision with conjunctival autograft using sutures, fibrin glue (tisseel), and autologous blood for the management of primary pterygium.

Patients And Methods: A retrospective study done in 681 eyes with primary nasal pterygium. Excision of the pterygium was performed followed by closure of the bare sclera with conjunctival autograft using interrupted 10-0 monofilament nylon sutures in 173 eyes (Group 1), fibrin glue (tisseel-baxter healthcare corporation, westlake village, ca-91362 USA) in 351 eyes (Group 2), and autologous blood in 157 eyes (Group 3).

Synthesis, structure, DNA/BSA interaction and in vitro cytotoxic activity of nickel(II) complexes derived from S-allyldithiocarbazate.

Two nickel(II) complexes with formula NiL1 and NiL2 (HL1 = S-allyl-4-methoxybenzylidene hydrazinecarbodithioate, HL2 = S-allyl-1-napthylidenehydrazinecarbodithioate) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, NMR, UV-vis spectroscopy and ESI mass spectrometry. The crystal structure of complex 1 has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffractometry. Both HL1 and HL2 ligands are coordinated to the metal in thiolate form.

Dyeing industry effluent system as lipid production medium of Neochloris sp. for biodiesel feedstock preparation.

Microalgae lipid feedstock preparation cost was an important factor in increasing biodiesel fuel hikes. This study was conducted with the concept of implementing an effluent wastewater as lipid production medium for microalgae cultivation. In our study textile dyeing industry effluent was taken as a lipid production medium for Neochloris sp.

One-year clinical study on efficacy of corneal cross-linking in Indian children with progressive keratoconus.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) with riboflavin using ultraviolet-A light in children with progressive keratoconus.

Methods: Thirty-five eyes of 24 children with progressive keratoconus aged between 9 and 16 years were included in this retrospective study. Ocular examination included the best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), dilated refraction, slit-lamp exam, and corneal topography (Orbscan II) at 6 and 12 months.

In vitro anti inflammatory activity of Aloe vera by down regulation of MMP-9 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells.

Aim Of The Study: The anti-inflammatory activity of Aloe vera was investigated through MMP inhibition studies. The effect of Aloe vera on MMP-9 inhibition was tested on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC).

Materials And Methods: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were isolated from the heparinised venous blood by Ficoll Diatrizoate gradient centrifugation.
