L Extracts against : Antimicrobial activity, antioxidant capacity, hygienic behavior and colony strength.

The aim of this work was to compare the antimicrobial activity against and the antioxidant capacity of two L. extracts obtained by different extraction methods. The hydroalcoholic extract was moreover added as supplementary diet to bees in field conditions to test behavioural effects and colony strength.

A kinetic study of textile dyeing wastewater degradation by Penicillium chrysogenum.

The potential of Penicillium chrysogenum to decolorize azo dyes and a real industrial textile wastewater was studied. P. chrysogenum was able to decolorize and degrade three azo dyes (200 mg L(-1)), either independently or in a mixture of them, using glucose as a carbon source.
