Effects of dimethoate, an organophosphate insecticide, on photosynthesis of five selected phytoplankton species

by

Martin Mavrogenis et al. View all

Biodiversity conservation

Dimethoate is an organophosphate (OP) insecticide used in agriculture to kill insects. However, information on the effect of the insecticide on non-target organisms like phytoplankton is sparse. When dimethoate enters water ecosystems, it affects the photosynthesis of the phytoplankton cells. The...

Optimisation of enzymatic fermented glucose production of wild cocoyam starch using response surface methodology

by

Charles Odilichukwu R. Okpala et al. View all

Biodiversity conservation

​The enzymatic fermentation of starch from non-edible sources using Aspergillus niger could help supplement the increasing glucose demand within the Nigeria food supply chain. Also, response surface methodology could help optimise the glucose production of starch hydrolysed from cocoyam tubers. In...
