A series of new red luminescent Eu(III) complexes were integrated by β-hydroxyketone ligand 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-(2-hydroxy-4,6-dimethoxyphenyl)ethan-1-one (CHDME) as main ligand and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) or 5,6-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (dmphen) or bathophenanthroline (bathophen) as ancillary ligand. The complexes were synthesised by solution precipitation method. The CHDME is taken as ligand and its analogous Eu(III) complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR and H-NMR.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFOdorants constitute a small and chemically diverse group of molecules with ethanol functioning as a key odorant that induces reproductive toxicity and adverse chronic effects on the liver. Analytical tools designed so far for the detection of odorant molecules are relatively invasive. Therefore, a tool that can measure the corresponding rate changes of ethanol concentration in real-time is highly desirable.

We used two strains of Bacillus subtilis group, B27 and B29 to control powdery mildew and the grey mold disease of the grapevine. Green house experiments showed that B29 and B27 strains of the bacteria efficiently reduced the severity of powdery mildew up to 50% and 60%, respectively.

An orthogonal array layout of L18 (2(1) × 3(7)) was constructed using Qualitek-4 software with eight most influensive factors on laccase production. At individual level pH contributed higher influence, whereas, corn steep liquor (CSL) accounted for more than 50% of the severity index with biotin and KH2PO4 at the interactive level.
