Characterization of ammonia remover Bacillus albus (ASSF01) in terms of biofilm-forming ability with application in aquaculture effluent treatment.

Presence of higher concentration of ammonia (> 0.5 mg/L) as well as nitrite (> 0.2 mg/L) in aquaculture environment create difficulties for fish survival.

Optimization of bio-chemical degumming of Ramie fiber for improved strength & luster.

Textile industries are currently not showing much interest in Ramie fibers due to the difficulties associated with their post-harvest downstream processing. The degumming chemicals are often detrimental to the environment upon discharged. Chemical degumming alone results in fibril-released coarse and brittle fibers.
