Article Synopsis
  • Wheat crops need effective nitrogen fertilization, but only half of chemical nitrogen fertilizers are absorbed while the rest causes environmental issues.
  • Fungi have the potential to improve nitrogen absorption, prompting research into native fungi in harsh environments like the St. Katherine Protectorate in Sinai, with a focus on their plant growth-promoting traits.
  • Eighteen fungal isolates were identified for their abilities to produce beneficial compounds, enhance nutrient availability, and suppress pathogens, with certain isolates significantly improving wheat growth under reduced nitrogen fertilizer conditions.

The influences of nutritional components affecting lipase production from the new using wheat bran as substrate were studied by employing Plackett-Burman and central composite statistical designs. Out of the 11 medium components tested, sucrose, KHPO and MgSO at final concentrations of 3.0, 1.

The ability of dead cells of endophytic of L. grown in heavy metals habitats for bioremoval of cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), and lead (Pb) in aqueous solution was evaluated under different conditions. Whereas the highest extent of Cd and Cu removal and uptake occurred at pH 8 as well as Pb occurred at neutral pH (6-7) after equilibrium time 10 min.

Dextrans enzymatic synthesis by immobilized Enterococcus faecalis Esawy dextransucrase was studied. Different parameters, such as: enzyme protein concentration (EPC), substrate concentration (SC), temperature and reaction time were evaluated. EPC played a fundamental role in controlling dextran molecular size with 0.

Enterococcus faecalis Esawy dextransucrase was immobilized in Fe(3+)-cross-linked alginate/carboxymethyl cellulose (AC) beads. The gel beads were modified with polyethylenimine (PEI) followed by glutaraldehyde (GA) to form Fe(3+) (ACPG) beads. Fe(3+) (ACPG) was characterized using FTIR and DSC techniques.
