Kumar, Ranjit; Kumar, Binod; Singh, S. P. published the artcile< Novel biotechnological method for production of ethanol by Saccharomyces cerevisiae RK-16 exposed to aflatoxine>, Category: imidazoles-derivatives, the main research area is Saccharomyces aflatoxine ethanol temperature pH incubation period molasses.
Aflatoxins are poisonous carcinogens that are produced by certain molds which grow in soil, decaying vegetation, hay, and grains. The influence of chem. mutagen, i.e., aflatoxine on bioprodn. of Et alc. by the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae RK-16 has been studied. It has been found that the chem. mutagen, i.e., aflatoxine at its molar concentration of 5.0 x 10-3M has stimulatory effect on biotechnol. method for production of ethanol by Saccharomyces cerevisiae RK-16 and enhances the yield of ethanol to an extent of 8.256% higher in comparison to control fermenter flask, i.e., 5.45mL/100 mL while molar concentration of aflatoxine under trial at 6.0 x 10-3M and onwards inhibits and retards the bioprodn. of Et alc. The molar concentration of aflatoxine has been employed in between 1.0 x 10-3M to 10 x 10-3M and has been found that at initial concentration, i.e., 1.0 x 10-3M it is least effective and at higher concentrations it gives insignificant yield of Et alc. Exptl. parameters has been optimized viz.: 30°C temperature 4.5 pH, 65 h incubation period with 18.5% (w/v) molasses solution along with other nutritional ingredients required by the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae RK-16.
Journal Chemtracks published new progress about Aflatoxins Role: BUU (Biological Use, Unclassified), BIOL (Biological Study), USES (Uses). 452-06-2 belongs to class imidazoles-derivatives, and the molecular formula is C5H5N5, Category: imidazoles-derivatives.
