Removal of cyanide from cassava in Nigeria. Cyanides are produced by certain bacteria, fungi, and algae.It is an antifeedant in a number of plants. Cyanides are found in substantial amounts in certain seeds and fruit stones, e.g., those of bitter almonds, apricots, apples, and peaches. [5]
Chemistry is the scientific study of the properties and behavior of matter. [1] It is a physical science within the natural sciences that studies the chemical elements that make up matter and compounds made of atoms, molecules and ions: their composition, structure, properties, behavior and the changes they undergo during reactions with other substances.
Mycosphaerella is a genus of ascomycota.With more than 10,000 species, it is the largest genus of plant pathogen fungi..
