Rhizoremediation of hydrocarbon contaminated soil using Luffa aegyptiaca (Mill) and associated fungi
International Journal of Phytoremediation, 2021The potentials of Luffa aegyptiaca and its rhizospheric, non-mycorrhizal fungi in biodegrading and bio-remediating hydrocarbon contaminated soil were investigated in-vitro and in-situ. Biodegradation study was done in two stages: preliminary study using hydrocarbon treated filter paper and in-vitro with Mineral Salt Media (MSM) read on ...

Characterization of a translation inhibitory protein from Luffa aegyptiaca
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 1989A protein with a molecular weight of about 30,000 was purified from the seeds of Luffa aegyptiaca. This protein inhibited cell free translation at pM concentrations. In spite of functional similarity to other ribosomal inhibitory proteins, the NH2-terminal analysis did not show any significant homology.

Estimated Fuel Properties of Luffa Aegyptiaca as a Possible Feedstock for Biodiesel Production
Çukurova Üniversitesi Mühendislik Fakültesi Dergisi, 2023The world's expanding human population and rising standard of living result in a rise in energy consumption. Since fossil fuel reserves are mostly exploited to fulfil the expanding energy demand, this makes it more difficult to get energy. Due to the non-renewable nature of fossil fuel resources and the possibility of energy supply issues occurring as ...

The mineral nutrition of Luffa aegyptiaca
Canadian Journal of Botany, 1983Five greenhouse experiments and a field experiment were carried out to determine the nutrient requirements of Luffa aegyptiaca L. by quantitatively determining the effects of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and calcium on its growth in sand culture and in poor lateritic soil. The effects of three pH regimes were also investigated.

Eco-Composites of Polyurethane and Luffa Aegyptiaca Modified by Mercerisation and Benzylation
Polymers and Polymer Composites, 2008New eco-composites were prepared from castor oil polyurethane reinforced with Luffa cylindrica fibres. These fibres were used without treatment as well as after mercerisation and mercerisation/benzylation surface treatments. TG curves of mercerised Luffa showed a small increase in thermal stability, associated with the removal of polyoses and soluble ...
