Harnessing Biomass and Biofuels: A Sustainable Path to Renewable Energy and Ecological Balance.
Abstract: Biomass, derived from living or recently deceased organisms, encompasses biological material used for energy production, known as bioenergy. Historically, fuelwood was the primary energy source until the Industrial Revolution, which saw a shift to fossil fuels. Common biomass fuels include fuelwood, agricultural residues, vegetable oils, and animal wastes. Biofuels, a subset of biomass energy, are liquid or gaseous fuels produced from organic matter of plant or animal origin. The rising …

Characterization of Plant Growth Promoting Bacillus subtilis (VBKT5) Isolated from Vermicompost
Abstract: Vermicompost is a rich source of nutrients and beneficial soil bacteria which can promote plant growth in various ways. Ten prevalent bacterial strains were isolated from the cow dung vermicompost and assessed for growth promotion of paddy. Bacterial suspensions (3X108 CFU/ml) were individually applied to the pots planted with paddy variety and vegetative growth parameters and yield were recorded. Among the bacterial treatments, better shoot length, root length and yield …

Effect of different concentrations of mercuric iodide on the growth of Microcystis spp.
Abstract: Cyanobacteria are commonly called as blue green algae which are abundantly distributed in both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystem. They are procaryotic autotrophic organisms and have thallus structure. Such organisms are actively involved in the biological nitrogen fixation which can fix the atmospheric nitrogen and converts into ammonia compounds. Plants can utilize such converted components for their growth and metabolic activities. Since they are diazotrophs which is the suitable supplement to …
