  • Culture of Scenedesmus Acuminatus in Corn Steep Liquor
    Journal of Agricultural Science and Technology B 7 (2017) 346-350 doi: 10.17265/2161-6264/2017.05.007 D DAVID PUBLISHING Culture of Scenedesmus acuminatus in Corn Steep Liquor Cristiane Tomas Kubo, Rafael Luan Sehn Canevesi, Edson Antonio da Silva, Nyamien Yahaut Sebastien and Tatiana Rodrigues da Silva Baumgartner Center of Engineering and Exact Sciences, Western Paraná State University, Toledo 85903-000, Brazil Abstract: Microalgae have been evaluated as a source of lipids for biodiesel production. They can be grown on effluent and produce biomass while removing organic and mineral components from the medium. The use of agro-industrial wastes for the production of microalgae is an alternative to reduce the costs related to the composition of the culture medium, thus reducing operational costs considerably. This work was conceived as a research about the cultivation of microalgae Scenedesmus acuminatus on the substrate composed by corn steep liquor. A central composite design (CCD) was carried to study the influence of the effluent and inoculum concentration on the chemical oxygen demand (COD) of the culture. Statistical analysis indicated that the percentage of inoculum and effluent had an influence on the COD. The cultivation, together with the coagulation procedure, was efficient for the removal of organic matter, verified through the COD reduction and changing of pH value. These two parameters reached the appropriate level according to the standard required by current legislation. Key words: Scenedesmus, corn steep liquor, chemical oxygen demand, biomass, microalgae. 1. Introduction The use of microalgae for wastewater treatment has been suggested for several years because of its ability New alternatives for obtaining raw materials for to effectively and inexpensively remove excess biodiesel synthesis have been researched, among them, nutrients and other contaminants, which are the causes microalgae.

  • Hopi Crop Diversity and Change
    J. Ethtlobiol. 13(2);203-231 Winter 1993 HOPI CROP DIVERSITY AND CHANGE DANIELA SOLER I and DAVID A. CLEVELAND Center for People, Food, and Environment 344 South Third Ave. Thcson, AZ 85701 ABSTRACT.-There is increasing interest in conserving indigenous crop genetic diversity ex situ as a vital resource for industrial agriculture. However, crop diver­ sity is also important for conserving indigenously based, small-scale agriculture and the farm communities which practice it. Conservation of these resources may best be accomplished, therefore, by ensuring their survival in situ as part of local farming communities like the Hopi. The Hopi are foremost among Native Ameri­ can farmers in the United States in retaining their indigenous agriculture and folk crop varieties (FVs), yet little is known about the dynamics of change and persis­ tence in their crop repertoires. The purpose of our research was to investigate agricultural crop diversity in the form of individual Hopi farmers' crop reper­ toires, to establish the relative importance of Hopi FVs and non·Hopi crop vari­ eties in those repertoires, and to explore the reasons for change or persistence in these repertoires. We report data from a 1989 survey of a small (n "" 50), oppor­ tunistic sample of Hopi farmers and discuss the dynamics of change based on cross·sectional comparisons of the data on crop variety distribution, on farmers' answers to questions about change in their crop repertoires, and on the limited comparisons possible with a 1935 survey of Hopi seed sources. Because ours is a small, nonprobabilistic sample it is not possible to make valid extrapolations to Hopi farmers in general.

  • Microbiological Quality Enhancement of Nutritive Value and Shelf-Life of Corn-Meal (OGI) Using Lactobacillus Plantarum
    International Research Journal of Pharmacy and Medical Sciences ISSN (Online): 2581-3277 Microbiological Quality Enhancement of Nutritive Value and Shelf-Life of Corn-Meal (OGI) Using Lactobacillus plantarum Takon I. A., Regil Otu Department of Microbiology, Faculty of Biological Sciences, University of Calabar, Calabar - Nigeria Corresponding Author Email: iquotee @yahoo.com or iatakon @unical.edu.ng 234-8034505221 Abstract—The microbiological quality enhancement of the nutritive value and shelf-life of cornmeal (ogi) using Lactobaccillus plantarum has been investigated using standard microbiological methods. Fifty grammes of ogi were prepared from moist steeped corn grains for 2 to 3 days, wet milled, sieved and dried. Corn steep liquor was enriched with L. plantarum strain that was amplified using UV-irradiation in a limiting lysine medium, ranging from 0.1ml – 2.0mls. The proximate composition for enriched cornmeal was: 2% crude fibre, 7.5% fats, 9.50% ash, 19.96% protein, 24.05% carbohydrate and 43.00% moisture respectively, as compared to fresh wet cornmeal without enrichment with L. plantarum, which had 6.68% protein, fat 0.50%, ash 30.00%, crude fibre 0.40%, carbohydrate 30.82% and moisture 30.00%. Unenhanced dry cornmeal had 0.20% fat, 1.20% crude fibre, 4.42% protein, 10.0% ash, 10.00% moisture and 32.38% carbohydrate. The enhanced nutritive value was significantly different at P>0.005, when compared to the fresh cornmeal. This enhanced nutritive value will help improve food security and may eliminate certain malnutrition related childhood diseases in under-developed and developing countries. Keywords— Food quality, Lactobacillus plantarum, corn meal, enhancement.

  • Counting Kernels (Mean, Median, Mode and Range)
    Counting Kernels (Mean, Median, Mode and Range) Introduction Middle School Everywhere we look we see numbers: speed limit signs, gas prices, temperature for the day, and the population of a city. A set of numbers or numbers comparing more than one thing can take on a different meaning. For example, the average salary of the players on a sports team or the average class score on a math test can have various meanings. Many career fields use mean, median, mode and range to find important information that helps with understanding data and trends. Farming is one career field that uses information to help and predict corn yields in a field. Why do you think it is important for farmers to predict harvest yields? Background Information Most of the corn we grow in the U.S. is dent corn (also called field corn). While a small portion of dent corn is used for corn cereal, corn starch, corn oil and corn syrup, dent corn is a grain used mostly for livestock feed and ethanol production. You could cook and eat both sweet corn and dent corn as corn on the cob, but the dent corn won’t be as sweet and juicy. Activity This activity is designed to reinforce the concept of how to calculate mean, median, mode and range on an ear of field corn. If you have access to multiple ears, you may use them, but for this activity we will provide the data from three ears of corn. The number of kernels on an ear of corn varies depending on many factors during the growth process.
