Biosorption of Heavy Metals

Bohumil Volesky, Z. R. Holan · 1 May 1995

Only within the past decade has the potential of metal biosorption by biomass materials been well established. For economic reasons, of particular interest are abundant biomass types generated as a waste byproduct of large-scale industrial fermentations or certain metal-binding algae found in large quantities in the sea. These biomass types serve as a basis for…

Synthesis of Gold Nanotriangles and Silver Nanoparticles Using Aloe vera Plant Extract

S. Prathap Chandran, Meena Chaudhary, R. Pasricha et al. · 7 Apr 2006

Biogenic gold nanotriangles and spherical silver nanoparticles were synthesized by a simple procedure using Aloe vera leaf extract as the reducing agent. This procedure offers control over the size of the gold nanotriangle and thereby a handle to tune their optical properties, particularly the position of the longitudinal surface plasmon resonance. The kinetics of gold…

Geranium Leaf Assisted Biosynthesis of Silver Nanoparticles

S. Shiv Shankar, Absar Ahmad, Murali Sastry · 1 Jan 2003

Development of biologically inspired experimental processes for the synthesis of nanoparticles is evolving into an important branch of nanotechnology. In this paper, we report on the use of Geranium (Pelargonium graveolens) leaf extract in the extracellular synthesis of silver nanoparticles. On treating aqueous silver nitrate solution with geranium leaf extract, rapid reduction of the silver…

Biofuels from Microalgae

Yanqun Li, Mark Horsman, Nan Wu et al. · 12 Mar 2008

Microalgae are a diverse group of prokaryotic and eukaryotic photosynthetic microorganisms that grow rapidly due to their simple structure. They can potentially be employed for the production of biofuels in an economically effective and environmentally sustainable manner. Microalgae have been investigated for the production of a number of different biofuels including biodiesel, bio-oil, bio-syngas, and…

Substrate and Enzyme Characteristics that Limit Cellulose Hydrolysis

Shawn D. Mansfield, Caitriona Mooney, John N. Saddler · 1 Jan 1999

The ability and, consequently, the limitations of various microbial enzyme systems to completely hydrolyze the structural polysaccharides of plant cell walls has been the focus of an enormous amount of research over the years. As more and more of these extracellular enzymatic systems are being identified and characterized, clear similarities and differences are being elucidated.…

Biotechnology Progress template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Biotechnology Progress format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Biotechnology Progress template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official American Chemical Society format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Biotechnology Progress use?
Biotechnology Progress uses Superscript numbered (ACS) references, shown as superscript numerals in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: (1) Smith, A.; Jones, B.; Lee, C. A Representative Article Title. Biotechnology Progress 2023, 12, 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Biotechnology Progress?
No. DocuGuru generates the achemso LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a American Chemical Society-ready Biotechnology Progress document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Biotechnology Progress template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Biotechnology Progress format with correct headings, figures, tables, and superscript citations.
Who publishes Biotechnology Progress?
Biotechnology Progress is a chemistry journal published by American Chemical Society. DocuGuru's Biotechnology Progress template matches American Chemical Society's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Biotechnology Progress PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Biotechnology Progress template (the achemso class) that is ready to submit to American Chemical Society, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Biotechnology Progress template cost?
You can start writing in the Biotechnology Progress template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Biotechnology Progress PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
