Biosorption of Remazol Brilliant Blue R textile dye using Clostridium beijerinckii by biorefinery approach.

The current study proposes RBBR biosorption by Clostridium beijerinckii DSMZ 6422 biomass remaining after biobutanol production from pumpkin peel (PP) by a zero-waste approach. Efficient biobutanol production was achieved by investigating initial PP concentrations (5-20% without or with enzymatic hydrolysis) and fermentation time. According to this, the highest concentrations of biobutanol and total ABE were obtained as 4.

Role of echocardiography on early diagnosis of atrial remodelling and fibrosis in elite athletes.

There is emerging data indicating that long-standing vigorous exercise may be associated with atrial structural remodelling. This remodelling process is may be the cause of the increasing frequency of atrial arrythmias in athletes. Early diagnosis of atrial remodelling by atrial imaging could have a role in management of atrial arrythmias in elite athletes.
