Gut Microbiota as a Mediator of Essential and Toxic Effects of Zinc in the Intestines and Other Tissues
See
The objective of the present study was to review the existing data on the association
between Zn status and characteristics of gut microbiota in various organisms and the potential role
of Zn-induced microbiota in modulating systemic effects. The existing data demonstrate a tight
relationship between Zn metabolism and gut microbiota as demonstrated in Zn deficiency, supplementation,
and toxicity studies. Generally, Zn was found to be a significant factor for gut bacteria
biodiversity. Th...
Lab-scale Production of Biodiesel from Sybean Acid Oil Using Immobilized Whole Cells as Catalyst
See
The study demonstrates the lab-scale production of biodiesel from soybean acid oil (SAO) in a
5 L lab-scale bioreactor using immobilized whole cells as a catalyst. The maximum lipase activity
2.89 ± 0.6 U/mL of immobilized whole cells was achieved at optimum conditions viz; pH (7.1),
temperature (31 C), peptone (1.2% w/v) and immobilized pieces (10) in 100mL growth medium.
The esterification approach was fit to Michaelis–Menten model, based on concentration-time
profile with 75 gL 1 Mic...
Rituals of Harm: Castration and Genealogies of Sacred Wound Cultures in the Hijra Communities of India
See
Existing within hierarchical kinship networks, requiring patronage of gurus, hijras, a ‘third’ gender community, undergomandatory apprenticeship to a commune life through a discipleship‐lineage system where castration is seen as a necessary truthand final rite of passage to achieve a virtuous hijra identity. This article examines the subjectivities of hijras from working‐classbackgrounds and narrows its focus to analyse how individual hijras develop an understanding of themselves from theiroc...
Unleashing the Power of Sunlight: Bi2O3/Sb2S3 Photocatalysis for Sustainable Wastewater Remediation of Tetracycline and Rhodamine-B
See
The use of heterojunction photocatalysts for pollutant decomposition has garnered significant interest in mitigating water contamination and environmental pollution. Our present study focuses on synthesizing Bi2O3/Sb2S3 heterojunction photocatalyst having variable mole ratios by employing a hydrothermal technique. Loading Sb2S3 onto Bi2O3 enables broad-spectrum solar light absorption, efficient segregation of charges, and enhanced surface area, which are excellent traits for photocatalysis. B...
Plant Growth Promotion and Selenium Accumulation in Zea mays by Rhizobacteria Isolated from Natural Seleniferous Soils
See
Selenium (Se) is essential for life's basic functions but its sources are limited. Plant growth promoting bacteria is a potential source to increase Se accumulation and plant growth. Bacteria are isolated from native seleniferous soils,. and based on 16S rRNA (ribosomal RNA) sequenceanalysis, two plant growth promoting and selenium tolerant bacteria are selected. They are identified as Leclercia adecarboxylata (B49) and Cedecea neteri (B71). L. adecarboxylata and C. neteri produce indole acet...
Biomass Suspension Catalysed the Generation of Various Alkyl Esters from Acid Oil and Virgin Cottonseed Oil
See
A substantial reduction in the cost of biodiesel production necessitates the identification of less expensive lipid-bearing substrates and a cost-effective process. The present study demonstrates the use of biomass suspension of Aspergillus sps. as a whole-cell catalyst for the generation of various alkyl esters from acid oil and cottonseed oil with different alcohols (methanol to decanol) as acyl acceptors. The yield of alkyl esters increased from methanol (79%) to pentanol (87%), followed b...
Role of Selenium‑Tolerant Fungi on Plant Growth Promotion and Selenium Accumulation of Maize Plants Grown in Seleniferous Soils
See
Selenium (Se) is an essential micronutrient for humans and livestock. Its toxicity is prominently observed in soils naturally rich in selenium and its deficiency disorders in low selenium areas. In the present investigation, several fungi were isolated from seleniferous agricultural soils (~ 6 mg Se kg− 1 of soil) and tested for selenium tolerance, uptake, and plant growth promotion. Two Se-tolerant fungal isolates (SeF5 and SeF12) were selected and tested for their efficacy to improve plant ...
Correlation of Serum Selenium in Asthma Patients with Severity of the Disorder
See
Asthma is characterized by reversible airway obstruction, increased bronchial hyper-responsiveness and chronic inflammation, as well as higher levels of oxidative stress mainly due to decreased antioxidant defenses. Our primary aim was to investigate the correlation of serum selenium (Se) levels with the severity of asthma across gender, age, family history, and prevalence from childhood. Selenium levels in blood samples in 103 asthmatic patients and 103 healthy individuals were evaluated. Th...
Assessing the Realization of Global Land Restoration: A Meta‑analysis
See
Restoring degraded land is essential for regaining ecosystem services (ES) and attaining the UN-Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. Unfortunately, 24% of the global lands are degraded, significantly affecting the lives of 3.2 billion people worldwide. Therefore, innovative restoration practices are vital during ‘UN-Decade on Ecosystem Restoration.’ A metaanalysis of 2093 documents on land degradation and restoration was conducted in this context, and 117 empirical studies were analyzed in ...
Go Pure: Transitioning from a Regional to a National Brand
See
Ashish Surana and Ranu Surana, a husband–wife team and owners of the Go Pure Ice Creams, were enjoying the success of their passion for developing and selling fruit-based ice creams. After they crossed the sales figure of ₹ 10 million sales with a network of 20 franchisees, mostly in Tier 2 and 3 cities, they dreamed of taking the brand to the national level, and that required them to launch the brand Go Pure in Metro & Tier 1 cities. However, this did not look like an easy task. They faced c...
