Screening of Chitinolytic Microfungi and Optimization of Parameters for Hyperproduction of Chitinase Through Solid-State Fermentation Technique
This study is intended for the production of chitinase enzyme from locally isolated fungal strains. Out of 10 isolated fungal strains from district Gujrat, Punjab, Pakistan, Aspergillus terreus SB3 (accession number ON738571) was found with maximum chitinolytic potential (80.8 U/mL/min). By applying central composite design (CCD) through response surface methodology (RSM) under solid-state fermentation (SSF), eight nutritional and physical parameters were optimized. Among these, temperature, substrate concentration, and pH were found as significant factors toward chitinase production in the first phase. Moisture and nitrog...

Elucidating Heavy Metals Concentration and Distribution in Wild Edible Morels and the Associated Soil at Different Altitudinal Zones of Pakistan: a Health Risk Implications Study
This study evaluates macro-nutrient (MN) and prevailing heavy metal (HM) concentrations in wild edible morels (WEM) species viz., Morchella crassipes, Morchella pulchella, and Morchella eohespera and the associated soil that were collected from different altitudinal zones (Azad Kashmir, Murree, Swat, and Skardu) of Pakistan. A special emphasis on potential health risk analysis for HM in WEM consumption was also explored. In general, MN concentration in fruiting bodies and their associated soil samples were in the following order: potassium (K) > magnesium (Mg) > calcium (Ca) > sodium (Na) and Ca > Mg > K >...

Diversity in Elemental Content in Selected Artemisia L. (Asteraceae) Species from Gilgit-Baltistan Region of Pakistan Based on Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrophotometry (ICP-AES)
Biol Trace Elem Res. 2022 Nov 10. doi: 10.1007/s12011-022-03469-z. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDiversity in eleven Artemisia species from northern Pakistan was assessed based on as per suitability of their elemental contents with thermal conductivity detection and ICP-AES procedures. Results indicated the presence of 13 major elements in the Artemisia species with varied concentrations including Carbon (45.7%, 45,7000 ppm-49.8%, 49,8000 ppm), Nitrogen (2.03%, 20,300 ppm-3.50%, 35,000 ppm), Phosphorus (0.168%, 1680 ppm-0.642%, 6420 ppm), Potassium (2.38%, 23,800 ppm-4.72%, 47,200 ppm), Sulphur (1920 ppm, 0.192%-4780 ppm, ...

Spatial distribution of drinking and irrigation water quality indices of Ghizer River Basin, northern Pakistan
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2022 Oct 15. doi: 10.1007/s11356-022-23478-8. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDetermining the water contamination of a river that threatens the dependent ecological community is a pillar for sustainable management. For this purpose, the present study aimed to examine the water quality of the Ghizer River Basin (GRB), Gilgit-Baltistan, northern Pakistan, for drinking and irrigation. Water samples (n = 55) were collected from the GRB and analyzed for physicochemical parameters. Water basic parameters and anions were measured using the multi-parameter analyzer (CONSORT 6030, Belgium) and cations by t...
