Biochemical mechanism for generating photosynthesis and rapid reproduction of Chlorella cells, using solar energy
Abstract: The main source of oxygen release and utilization of atmospheric carbon dioxide, using solar energy by phytoplankton cells of the world ocean, is the photosynthetic nanostructure of phytoplankton cells— chlorophyll. During the process of photosynthesis, the Chlorella cell not only releases oxygen and utilizes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, using solar energy by the Chlorella cells of the world's oceans, but also produces glucose inside the cell, which, in the …

Comparative Analysis of Protein and Prediction of Amino Acids in Different Extracts of Local Spinach Leaves
Abstract: In this study, spinach leaves from the local source have been selected for its comparative analysis of protein concentrations using UV-Visible spectrophotometer in three different solvents viz. double distilled water (ddH2O), ethanol (C2H5OH), and methanol (CH3OH). Different amino acids in different solvents have also been predicted based on the peaks obtained at different wavelengths in UV-region and compared. For the solvent-extraction of spinach, the final spinach: solvent ratio was 1:20 …

BIOCHEMICAL AND KINETICS STUDIES ON PROTEASE ENZYME ISOLATED FROM AYURVEDIC HERBS ALONG WITH THEIR APPLICATION STUDIES
Abstract: The objective of the present work was to conduct comprehensive biochemical and kinetic analysis of a protease enzyme extracted from two Ayurvedic herbs, namely Shankhpushpi (Convolvulus prostratus) and Mulethi (Glycyrrhiza glabra). The primary focus was to characterize various biochemical aspects of the enzyme, encompassing substrate specificity, optimal pH and temperature conditions, stability, and activation energy. Furthermore, crucial kinetic parameters such as Michaelis-Menten constant (Km) and maximum reaction velocity (Vmax) were …

A review on Plastisphere
Abstract: Plastic waste contamination has emerged as a growing ecological issue of great significance. Plastic has been found in various environments, including within the human body, creating a growing threat to both ecosystems and people. In the ocean, plastic debris undergoes gradual fragmentation into tiny particles known as microplastics due to the disruption of physical and chemical processes. These microplastics serve as a habitat for diverse microbial communities, such as fungi, …
