Abstract:
... Diabetes mellitus is a global epidemic, characterised as a heterogeneous group of metabolic disorders associated with high risk of CVD. Green banana biomass, which is composed of resistant starches (RS) and cannot be hydrolysed by amylases, delays gastric emptying and modulates insulin sensitivity, thus contributing to improve metabolic disorders. The aim of the present study was to investigate th ...

Aspergillus niger; amylases; banana peels; bananas; beta-fructofuranosidase; biomass; carbon; cassava; fungi; glucose; lignocellulose; pectins; polygalacturonase; pulp; starch; sugarcane bagasse; xylanases
Abstract:
... Agro-industrial wastes provide potential sources of carbon for production of fungal enzymes applied for various biotechnological applications. In this study, 23 strains of Aspergillus niger were systematically investigated for their capability on production of carbohydrate-processing enzymes used in industries. The strains were grown on glucose or selected agricultural wastes comprising varied che ...

Abstract:
... This study aims to establish a bacterial consortium to deconstruct the coir, areca, banana, and cotton fibers recalcitrant structure. Hence, lignocellulase secreting bacterial strains were isolated from cow rumen, dung garbage, and vermicompost samples. After selecting desired strains, a mixed-batch bacterial consortium (MBBC) was made by mixing of cellulase batch (Bacillus sp. HSTU-2, Bacillus sp ...
