Abstract:

The present review provides a compilation of the published data on the ecology and social behavior of midday gerbils. Both field studies and observations under semi-natural conditions provide evidence that the midday gerbil is a nocturnal, primarily granivorous rodent that lives in highly seasonal habitats. A typical feature of the midday gerbils’ spatial organization is formation... More

Abstract:

The expanding dye and dye-related industries have led to the production of large volumes of dye-containing wastewater streams. Without adequate treatment, the wastewater could pollute the environment and give rise to health concerns. Biocatalytic technologies provide a channel of treating the wastewater. These technologies involve immobilizing dye-degrading enzymes particularly laccase and peroxidase, and microorganisms on... More
