This study aims to know the effect of water-extracted horseradish Moringa oleifera leaf and KW21 fertilizer combination application on the density of Nannochloropsis sp. It was conducted in the Natural Food Laboratory of State Polytechnique, Tual. The experiment used complete randomized design with 5 treatments and 3 replications: A (25% horseradish leaf extract + 75% KW21), B (50% horseradish leaf extract + 50% KW21), C (75% horseradish leaf extract + 25% KW21), D (positive control of 100% KW21), and E (negative control of 100% horseradish leaf extract). Results showed that Treatment C yielded the best result, both the highest density of Nannochloropsis sp. and suitable harvest time.

The effect of carbenicillin on the dedifferentiation and the regeneration efficiency of plant tissues of horseradish(Armoracia rusticana) was evaluated, Inhibition effect for callus initiation was observed when leaf blade, root and petiole segments were grown on MS medium containing 500 mg/L to 2000 mg/L carbenicillin and 0.5 mg/L 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). The regeneration of horseradish shoots from leaf blade, root and petiole explants were decreased as the addition of carbenicillin increased from 1000 mg/L to 2000 mg/L in MS medium containing 0.5 mg/L of 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) or kinetin. Especially, 500 mg/L carbenicillin treatment significantly inhibited shoot induction when leaf blade explants were grown on hormone-free MS medium. It was suggested that the toxic effects of combinations of carbenicillin and 2,4-D may be due to high auxin activity levels.

The curtailment of production cost is important for the mass production of biosensors. Since horseradish peroxidase, which is a key material of enzyme electrodes for hydrogen peroxide analysis is rather expensive, this has been a limiting factor for fabricating carbon paste based enzyme electrodes. In this paper, the acacia leaf tissue as a zymogen easily obtainable in our living environment was used as an alternative to horseradish peroxidase for developing a hydrogen peroxide sensor and the electrochemical properties were evaluated. Ten or more electrochemical parameters alongside the other experimental results acquired by the potentiostatic method demonstrated that our enzyme electrodes can be used for the quantitative analysis of hydrogen peroxide. This also indicates that acacia leaves can take the place of the marketed peroxidase.

In order to substitute for the marketed horseradish peroxidase, a hydrogen peroxide sensor embedded with tobacco leaf in carbon pastes was constructed and its sensing ability was electrochemically evaluated. Ten and more electrode parameters obtained implied that the enzyme electrode exerts its remarkable specificity quantitatively in the experimental range of potential. Especially the small symmetry factor (${\alpha}$, 0.21) showed that the electrode kinetics is very sensitive to the change of electrode potential. The experimental facts above suggested that our enzyme electrode functions as a hydrogen peroxide sensor normally and tobacco peroxidase can be used in the place of the marketed one as an alternative to marketed ones.
