Ecotoxicological effects of aflatoxins on earthworms under different temperature and moisture conditions
(MDPI AG, 2022)Aflatoxin contamination remains one of the most important threats to food safety and human health. Aflatoxins are mainly found in soil, decaying plant material and food storage systems and are particularly abundant during ... -
The effect of temperature on the respiration and metabolism of the African burrowing scorpion (Opistophthalmus latimanus)
(Elsevier, 2016)It is well known that scorpions are highly adapted to thermal temperatures. However, little is known of the metabolic and respiration adaptations caused by temperature fluctuations in these animals. Therefore we used ... -
Effect of various carbon source, temperature and pH on nitrate reduction efficiency in mineral salt medium enriched with Bacillus weinstephnisis (DS45)
(Elsevier, 2017)The potential bacterial isolates which reduces nitrate using mineral salt medium (MSM) was studied through a batch mode process. Specific nitrate reducing bacteria were isolated from Dharmapuri district (Tamilnadu, India) ... -
