Microorganisms used in aquaculture
Abstract: Microorganisms play a vital role in the health and sustainability of aquaculture systems, contributing to water quality management, disease control, and the overall productivity of aquatic farms. Beneficial microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, algae, and probiotics, are increasingly recognized for their positive impact on aquaculture operations. These microorganisms can enhance nutrient cycling, promote the breakdown of organic waste, and reduce the need for harmful chemicals, thus improving the environmental footprint of …

Effect of Cycle Time Lengths on the Performance of Aerobic SBR Treating Tannery Wastewater
Abstract: AbstractTannery industry generates significant quantities of wastewater which contains high organic matter, nitrogen, and chromium which needs to be treated before discharged into receiving water bodies. The aim of this study is to characterize tannery wastewater and to investigate the effect of cycle time length on performance of aerobic sequencing batch reactor (SBR) for treating a high load tannery wastewater. In this experimental study, an aerobic biological SBR with 50m3 …

Effect of Nitrite on Oxygen Consumption and Ammonia Excretion of the Fresh Water Crab Paratelphusa jacquemontii (Rathbun)
Abstract: In aquatic ecosystem, nitrite concentrations are elevated by pollution with nitrogenous wastes and imbalances in bacterial nitrification and denitrification processes. Nitrite is transformed by nitrification to nitrate under aerobic condition. The effects of nitrite on physiology were investigated in the fresh water crab, Paratelphusa jacquemontii (carapace length 4–5 cm and weight 50–70 g) for 96 h. The crabs were exposed to sublethal concentration (1/10th and 1/20th of 96 h LC50) …

Stimulation of Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria with ZnO Nanoparticles to Improve Growth and Development of Groundnut Plants (Arachis Hypogaea L.)
Abstract: Rhizobacteria that stimulate plant growth have been extensively utilized as biofertilizers to improve the nutrient content of the soil for various crop plants. In the present study, we have isolated plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) for rhizospheric soil of groundnut crops from Gujarat agricultural fields in the Saurashtra region. Fifty-two isolates with particular colony characteristics were obtained from rhizospheric soil. All strain was tested for their plant growth promoting (PGP) …

Simulation of a Wastewater Treatment Plant Designed on a Flow Sheet
Abstract: The residual water results from the alteration of the physicochemical parameters of clean water; so the latter's vocation is lost. The scarcity and importance of this resource requires its immediate recovery by applying the most appropriate corrective procedure. The tertiary wastewater treatment removes traces of organic and inorganic matter. Although effective, this cleaning step is expensive. The simulation of processes helps in the study of the external and internal changes …

Impact of Crop Heat Units on Growth and Developmental Physiology of Future Crop Production: A Review
Abstract: Plant development depends on temperature and requires a specific amount of heat to develop from one point in their lifecycle to another, such as from seeding to the harvest stage. Temperature is a key factor for the timing of biological processes, and hence the growth and development of plants. Crop heat unit (CHU) or thermal time or growing degree days is a temperature response of development that differs between day …
