Biochar‐based fertilizers increase crop yields in acidic tropical soils
Abstract Depletion of soil organic carbon and nutrients creates mounting challenges for agricultural production in tropical regions, putting livelihoods and food security at risk. Biochar‐based fertilizer (BBF) has been suggested as a tool to maintain yields while concurrently improving soil organic carbon content and related soil functions. This study

Abstract This study explores the sustainable valorization of fruit waste (FW) for bioethanol production using a consolidated bioprocess (CBP) that combines fermentation and enzymatic hydrolysis in a single step. A co‐culture of Bacillus siamensis F2 (a multienzyme producer) and Candida albicans GP1 (a fermentative yeast) was employed to maximize ...

Micronutrient Therapy for Sepsis
Micronutrients are nutrients which are needed by the body to perform the function of body. The amounts is less than 100% μg per day and consist of vitamins and minerals. It cannot be synthesized in the body. Research in the US mentioned that the rate prevalence of sepsis is tended to be increased 8.7 % annually.
