The lignocellulosic biomass under a “waste to use” program is an intriguing substitute to various nonrecyclable sources for bio-product formation due to its accessibility, abundance, and recyclability, which has attracted significant attention on a global scale. However, the utilization of recalcitrant lignocellulosic biomass to satisfy the booming...

A massive amount of waste is generated globally from agriculture sector annually that offers potential feedstock for biorefineries. Undoubtedly α-amylase has become the backbone of starch-based industries. It is a crucial amylolytic enzyme possessing versatile applications. An expensive synthetic substrate that is non-eco-friendly and toxic is not...

Enzymes are tremendous bio-product for nature whose absence can make a remarkable difference in the 21st century. Amylases have attracted a lot of industries due to their several applications. α-Amylase (EC 3.2.1.1, endo-1,4-α-D-glucan glucanohydrolases) is a crucial enzyme for various industries. It selectively hydrolyzes the α-1–4 glucosidic bond...

The demand for an alternative source of energy is an imperative requirement of the current time. Second-generation biofuel (bioethanol) is capable of overcoming the problem of energy crises soon. Bioethanol production from agricultural by-products is an effective and sustainable approach. Bioethanol from agro-waste residues fulfil the energy demand...

India and several other countries are facing the biggest threat to survival due to a novel pandemic called Coronavirus and diseases (COVID-19) which was originated from Wuhan in China in the year 2019. This coronavirus belongs to the group of respiratory viruses (SARS-CoV-2). Its mode of transmission is through respiratory droplets released from th...

Nanotechnology has found a wide range of application in almost every field such as food technology, biological remediation, agriculture, antibacterial activity, industrial and medicinal. This report mainly concerns with the work of green synthesis process used for the synthesis of FeNPs (metal salt– ferric chloride heptahydrate used as precursor) u...

[Formula: see text]-amylase is the most widely used Glycoside Hydrolase (GH) in industries for decades. It randomly cleaves the [Formula: see text]-D-(1, 4) glucosidic bonds of [Formula: see text]-polysaccharides (starch and glycogen) to release glucose and short-chain oligosaccharides. Substantial advances have taken place in research related to [...

α-Amylases are the oldest and versatile starch hydrolysing enzymes which can replace chemical hydrolysis of starch in industries. It cleaves the α-(1,4)-D-glucosidic linkage of starch and other related polysaccharides to yield simple sugars like glucose, maltose and limit dextrin. α-Amylase covers about 30% shares of the total enzyme market. On acc...

α-Amylase is the most significant glycoside hydrolase having applications in various industries. It cleaves the α,1–4 glucosidic linkages of polysaccharides like starch, glycogen to yield a small polymer of glucose in α-anomeric configuration. α-Amylase is produced by all the three domains of life but microorganisms are preferred sources for indust...

Due to increasing pollution, the availability of safe, clean and hygienic drinking water has become very difficult in the recent era. This study was conducted to evaluate the oligodynamic potential of various metals such as copper, bell, silver, aluminium, and brass as well as soil pot against the bacterial colonies in drinking water. The research...

Processing (milling, oil extraction) of agricultural products result in accumulation of massive amount of agro-waste residues. A sustainable alternative technique is required to utilize those agro-waste residues through biotechnology to convert them into useful products. α-Amylase is an enzyme of glycoside hydrolases family which hydrolyzes the α-D...

Water is the most fundamental natural resource found on the Earth which is equally important to all living organisms. About 70% of the Earth surface is secured with water. The endurance and nature of human life depend upon the accessibility of freshwater. Natural water quality is deteriorating by utilizing various contaminants such as physical, che...
