  • Nypa fruits and seeds from the Maastrichtian–Danian sediments of Bir Abu Minqar, South Western Desert, Egypt
    Palaeoworld, 2011
    Co-Authors: Maher I. El-soughier, Rakesh C. Mehrotra, Zhi-yan Zhou, Gongle Shi
    Abstract:

    Abstract Fossil fruits and seeds of Nypa burtinii (Brongniart) of Arecaceae are described from the Maastrichtian and Danian sediments of the Dakhla Formation of Bir Abu Minqar, South Western Desert, Egypt. These fruits represent one of the oldest fossil records of the genus Nypa, contemporaneous with those known from the Deccan Intertrappean beds of India. As Nypa is now distributed along the sea coast from Sri Lanka to North Australia and New Guinea, the present discovery along with the known associated plant and invertebrate fossils reveals that a tropical littoral, swampy and estuary biota emerged early in the Maastrichtian in the region.

  • Torulaspora Nypae sp. nov., a novel yeast species isolated from nipa (Nypa fruticans Wurmb.) inflorescence sap in southern Thailand.
    International journal of systematic and evolutionary microbiology, 2020
    Co-Authors: Rungluk Kaewwichian, Sasitorn Jindamorakot, Pannida Khunnamwong, Savitree Limtong
    Abstract:

    Two strains (YSP-384 and YSP-399), representing a novel Torulaspora species, were isolated from two nipa inflorescence sap samples collected in Trang province in the southern part of Thailand. The two strains had identical sequences of the D1/D2 domains of the large subunit (LSU) rRNA gene and the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions. The two strains were closest to Torulaspora maleeae CBS 10694T, but with 1.1 % nucleotide substitutions in the D1/D2 domains of the LSU rRNA gene and 5.2 % nucleotide substitutions in the ITS regions. Phylogenetic analysis based on the concatenated sequences of the ITS regions and the D1/D2 domains of the LSU rRNA gene supported that the two strains represented a distinct species in the genus Torulaspora. Some phenotypic characteristics of the two strains differed from T. maleeae including the two strains have ability to assimilate d-xylose, d-glucono-δ-lactone and melizitose, and inability to ferment maltose and raffinose, whereas T. maleeae has opposite results. Therefore, the two strains are described as representing a novel species, for which the name Torulaspora Nypae sp. nov. was proposed.

  • water deprivation as an indicator for evaluating the potential areas of nipa Nypa fruticans sap ethanol in thailand
    Journal of Cleaner Production, 2017
    Co-Authors: Juthamas Jaichuedee, Rinan Longalee, Charongpun Musikavong
    Abstract:

    Abstract Ethanol has been promoted as alternative fuel for vehicles in Thailand. The impact of water use on producing the feedstock for ethanol is important. Nipa palm ( Nypa fruticans ) is a potential alternative feedstock to bioethanol production. This work aimed at determining the consumptive water use and water deprivation caused by nipa sap based ethanol production in the potential growing areas of southern Thailand. These potential nipa growing areas could produce nipa sap ethanol at the rate 2.64 × 10 6  L/day (L/d). The consumptive water use by nipa sap ethanol was determined as from 893 to 1573 L water/L ethanol, and over 90% of it originated at the nipa plantations. The yield of nipa sap significantly affects the consumptive water use. The water deprivation, an indicator of the water scarcity footprint of nipa sap ethanol, was found to be between 10.7 and 184 L H 2 Oeq/L ethanol. The large range of water deprivation values was mainly due to differences in the water stress index between watersheds. Peninsula-West coast and Thale sap Songkhla watersheds were considered, based on the water deprivation values, as areas with high potential to produce nipa sap ethanol, while Pattani, Tapi, and Peninsula-East coast watersheds have moderate potential. To support the targets in the alternative energy development plan of Thailand (2015–2036), the expansion of nipa plantations should focus on areas with high or moderate potential. To establish the nipa sap ethanol on a commercial scale, further studies are necessary. The yield and chemical composition of nipa sap may depend on plant variety, maturity, and type of plantation. Good management practices need to be established for nipa plantations, and pilot scale ethanol conversion needs to be demonstrated and assessed.
