A previously unreported oleanane triterpenoid, -amyrin heptadecanoate (), was isolated from the leaves of Thai (Oxalidaceae), along with five known compounds, -amyrin (), -sitosterol (), -sitosterol-D-glucoside (), -sitosteryl oleate (), and -tocopherol (). Their structures were elucidated through spectroscopic analysis, including extensive NMR and HRESIMS, and by comparison with the previous literature. All isolated compounds were evaluated for their -glucosidase inhibitory and cytotoxic activities.

This research investigates the effect of propionate-cultured sludge augmentation on methane (CH) production from upflow anaerobic sludge blanket systems (UASB) treating fresh landfill leachate. In the study, both UASB reactors (UASB 1 and UASB 2) contained acclimatized seed sludge, and UASB 2 was augmented with propionate-cultured sludge. The organic loading rate (OLR) was varied between 120.

The outbreak of pathogenic bacterial diseases causes high mortality rates and economic losses in Nile tilapia farming. Antibiotic administrations are commonly utilized to inhibit and prevent bacterial infections.

Water hyacinth is a naturally occurring weed that can grow aggressively, causing eutrophication and leading to many severe environmental impacts. Here, through the pyrolysis process, we convert water hyacinth to biochar and use it for acid soil amendment.

The effluent concentrations were varied between 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% (v/v). The landfill leachate influent was treated using two-stage moving bed biofilm reactor under 24 h and 18 h hydraulic retention time (HRT).

The GHGs under study included carbon dioxide (CO), methane (CH), and nitrous oxide (NO). The non-floating and floating bed AS systems were operated in parallel with identical landfill leachate influent under different hydraulic retention time (HRT) conditions (24, 18, and 12 h).

They were found to belong to the same species based on DNA sequence identity of the small subunit ribosomal RNA gene (SSU) and the D1/D2 region of the large subunit rRNA gene (LSU D1/D2).
