Role of Bioactive Compounds on Protein Utilization in Ruminants: A Review
Abstract: Insufficient nutrition is the primary drive of low productivity by ruminants. These insufficiencies can be corrected by supplementation with high-density feeds and locally available tree legumes. These tree legumes contain various types of bioactive compounds, which can be defined as secondary plant metabolites (PSM) that are extra nutritional substances having pharmacological or toxicological effects in man and animals. Besides the primary biosynthetic, the secondary metabolites are also produced within the …

Analysis of Viability Index and Growth of Regenerated Cyanobacteria Following Long-Term Preservation in Calcium Alginate Beads
Abstract: Samples were collected from Nagaon and Dhemaji districts of Assam differing significantly in pH and temperature for cyanobacterial isolation. Isolates were partially characterized, and pure cultures of the isolates were immobilized for preservation. Thirty two cyanobacterial strains were isolated from 13 different soil and water samples. Nostoc was the most abundant genus in the collection (42%). This was followed by Anabaena (22%), Fischerella (19%), Synechococcus (6%), and Calothrix (5%). For …

Features of Nanoflotation Technique – A Review
Abstract: ABSTRACT Flotation method is majorly availed in two sectors: mining industry (for separation of metal ores) and in wastewater treatment process (both for municipal and industrial wastewaters) for separation of suspended solids, emulsions, chemical sludge or excess sludge. Traditional flotation relies on floating of solids (mainly suspended solids) on the top of the liquid by air bubbles (in conventional process they have and average diameter of 100–300 μm). Better separation …
