Abstract Microbial fuel cell is an applied aspect of microbes, i.e., using bacteria to generate electricity. It uses carbon source like sugars or any other organic waste. Bacteria like E. coli, Pseudomonas methanica, Pseudomonas fluorescence, Pseudomonas putida, Proteus vulgaris, Bacillus subtilis and many more that lives at anode are able to consume sugars under anaerobic […]
Abstract Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common form of human birth defects accounting for about 30% of the total anomalies. The prevalence rate of CHD is 9 per 1000 live births. The etiology for the majority of these anomalies remains unknown but genetic factors are being recognized as playing an increasingly important role. […]
Abstract A crop nutrient survey was conducted in 54 mandals covering 150 rice fields in Karimnagar district of Andhra Pradesh were studied for distribution of DTPA extractable Zn, Cu, Fe and Mn and their relationship with some soil properties. Soils of the selected rice fields are non-saline and the pH of the soil was ranged […]
Abstract Transformation, an active uptake of free DNA by bacterial cells and the heritable incorporation of its genetic information is one of the most adventurous mechanism that can be manipulated with the technology to produce genetically modified and manipulated organisms that can fulfil the needs of the user.. Only more recently has it been considered […]
Abstract DNA testing is currently the most advanced and accurate technology to determine paternity. It has come a long way from application in immigration case to identification of foetus of rape victims and missing persons/ deceased. DNA paternity testing in forensic casework is greatly based on comparison with reference biological samples of close blood relatives. […]
Abstract The effect of bioengineered zinc nanoparticles and zinc on biochemical analysis was investigated on the Cicer arietinum Seedlings. The extracellular synthesis of zinc nanoparticles with an average size of 47.6 nm was characterized by Transmission electron microscopy. Heavy metals are important and essential components in plant growth. However, when they increase in concentration, heavy […]
Abstract Chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) is a type of cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow. Most people diagnosed with CML have a genetic abnormality in their blood cells called the Philadelphia (Ph) chromosome. The Ph-chromosome causes the production of an enzyme called tyrosine kinase which leads to CML Caspase 8 gene encodes a […]
Abstract This study developed a multiplex PCR method for the screening and detection of five toxigenic strains of Staphylococcus aureus. The multiplex PCR procedure, which uses five pairs of primers produced specific amplicon of expected sized of SEA, SEB, SEC, SED and SEE genes which are responsible for producing Enterotoxins. These are the target genes […]
Abstract Klebsiella pneumoniae causes community acquired, nosocomial infections & other diseases like bacteremia, hepatic abscess, meningitis, respiratory & urinary tract infections worldwide. This organism is rod shaped, gram-negative, non-motile encapsulated, lactose fermenting facultative anaerobic bacterium, found as the normal flora on the mouth, skin and intestine. Klebsiella pneumoniae belonging to the Enterobacterceae family typically expresses […]
Abstract Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni, a natural sweetener contains two main sweetest compounds, stevioside (ST) and rebaudioside A (R-A), tasting about 300 and 450 times sweeter than sucrose, respectively. This commercially important plant also suffers a leaf spot disease caused by the fungus Alternaria alternata in various districts of Tamil Nadu, India. In the present study, […]
