Thus, in order to address the growing market demands of organic acids with the passage of time, it needs to develop new strategies or discoveries for new or novel microbial strains for high level production of commercially important organic acid such as; gluconate, malate, and citrate. In present review, through cumulative analysis of the current microbial strains and their biosynthetic mechanisms for production of these acids, we present guidelines for future developments in this fast-moving field.

Directionality pattern for shallow sources, for a downward profile, exhibits a null along the horizontal as a consequence of modal propagation, and the null gets filled up for an upward profile. Normal mode approach is well suitable for defining shallow water propagation and is capable of handling variations in environment, physical oceanography and source characteristics. Site specific seasonal variation is clearly established which can be made use of in conducting SONAR exercises.

The failure mode of landslide affected by rainfall is studied based on GPS monitoring data with PFC 2D being used to simulated the failure process of rain-induced landslide. Results indicate that three FMs can be identified from 105 to 130 m, and any rapid continuous drawdown of the reservoir water level from 130 to 105 m will definitely trigger FM. In addition, rapid continuous water rise tends to trigger FM from approximately 115 to 130 m while it will not trigger FMs unless there is a continuous drawdown phase before. Generally, there is a lag time between water level fluctuation and FMs. Page(s): 2182-2190 Wed, 01 Nov 2017 00:00:00 GMT http://nopr.niscpr.res.in/handle/123456789/42980 2017-11-01T00:00:00Z http://nopr.niscpr.res.in/handle/123456789/42979 Title: Reservoir fracture cave characteristics of middle - lower Ordovician carbonate rocks in Tahe oilfield in Tarim Basin, China Authors: Li, Ying; Xu, Shouyu Abstract: Different carbonate types found in Tahe Oilfield and their petrological characteristics are analyzed. Primary rock types include sandy limestone, bamboo-like limestone, sandy limestone, dolomitic micrite, particle limestone, limestone containing organic matter, micrite, and siliceous fine crystalline dolomite containing calcite, in which cracks or fissures are mainly or locally developed. The main reservoir space types are also studied. Intergranular or intragranular dissolved pores constitute the main pore types in the study area, with intergranular holes and intergranular dissolved pores playing a secondary role.
