The reaction mixture contained 100 µl of 0.1M guaiacol dissolved in 100mM Na-Acetate buffer at pH 5. Increase in absorbance was recorded for 30 min at 450nm‚ which was proportional to laccase activity (Parshetti et al.‚ 2011). The activity of Lignin peroxidase was determined by monitoring the conversion of propanaldehyde at 300 nm for 30 min in a reaction mixture of 10µl enzyme extract and 100µl containing 100mM n-propanol‚ 250 mM tartaric acid and 10 mM H2O2 (Kalyani et al.‚ 2008).

Leslie Key Dr. Pickens Plant Bio 20 April 2013 Plant and fungi use in Bioremediation In 1975‚ a military jet fuel leaked over 80‚000 gallons of kerosene based jet-fuel into a lake in the suburbs of Charleston‚ SC. Many people tried to manage the oil spill but it was to no avail. It was almost impossible to stop all of the fuel from being soaked up by the very permeable sandy soil and reaching the ground water. Soon all of the ground water became contaminated and had many toxic chemicals in

The Xylem is part of a plant‚ which is a hollow tube with spiral thickening of lignin around the wall giving strength‚ which is continuous throughout the whole plant. The difference between the Xylem cell and other cells is that the Xylem is dead and has no cytoplasm. The Xylem is responsible for transporting water and certain nutrients form root to plant. Phloem carries soluble organic material i.e. food for the plant. The top of the plant is in the light‚ conducting photosynthesis and helping the

Chapter 1 Introduction 1.1 Backgroud Studies For many decades‚ our society have been introduced into many new species of plant or animal that can be produced into new fibre resources. It is very amazing that natural fibre such as kenaf‚ flax‚ jute‚hemp and sisal are in need compared with synthetic fibre which has very huge development in industry. Natural fibre in the nick of time‚ has become new resources of alternatives due to their inherent properties such as ease of fabrication‚ structural control

Improved nutrition The GM oilseed crops on the market today offer improved oil profiles for processing or healthier edible oils.[58] The GM crops in development offer a wider array of environmental and consumer benefits such as nutritional enhancement and drought and stress tolerance. GM plants are being developed by both private companies and public research institutions such as CIMMYT‚ the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Centre.[59] Other examples include a genetically modified cassava

with thick walls made of cellulose. They are pale when immature but later become hardened and yellowed as a layer of lignin is deposited on their walls. There are two varieties of coir. Brown coir is harvested from fully ripened coconuts. It is thick‚ strong and has high abrasion resistance. It is typically used in mats‚ brushes and sacking. Mature brown coir fibres contain more lignin and less cellulose than fibres such as flax and cotton and so are stronger but less flexible. They are made up of small
