Metal Tolerance Potential of A. fumigatus and Comparative Analysis of Biosorption through Control and Trained Biomass
Abstract: Heavy metal pollution in water because of the discharge of industrial effluent imposes serious environmental concerns. Copper is one of such pollutants which is are considered as toxic, non-biodegradable and persistent in nature. Removal of heavy metals through conventional treatment strategies can cause many technical problems. Filamentous fungi have the ability to accumulate significant amount of heavy metals from their environment. Therefore, the potential of resistant fungal biomass as biosorptive …

Morphological Identification of Rumen Protozoal Population in Domestic Ruminants of Chennai
Abstract: Rumen is a complex ecosystem where feed consumed by ruminants is digested by the help of symbiotic microbes (bacteria, protozoa, and fungi) and the interaction between the host and ruminal microorganisms are diverse. This provides an advantage in the ability of ruminant digestion. End products of rumen fermentation are volatile fatty acids and the microbial biomass. The distribution of rumen microbes, their numbers, type, vary in the ruminants and is …

Review on Fibrolytic Microorganisms and Their Applications
Abstract: The primary renewable feedstock option on the planet is lignocellulosic biomass, which is made up of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin.. Lignocellulolytic microbes are categorized in to cellulolytic, xylanolytic and Lignolytic based on the plant material they degrade./Animal feed digestion and industrial bioconversion processes both heavily rely on the functioning of lignocellulolytic microorganisms like bacteria and fungi, whose enzymes may break down lignocellulosic biomass. Lignocellulolytic micro-organisms are found in various habitats …
