Abstract: Inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE), the metabolizing enzyme of acetylcholine is evolving as the most important therapeutic target for development of cognitive enhancers. However, AChE activity in brain has not been properly evaluated on the basis of sex. In the present study, AChE expression was investigated in different brain areas of cerebrum and cerebellum in male and female chana striata. On comparing male and female genders, increased AChE activity was seen in cerebrum and cerebellum of female chana striata. However, no significant change in AChE activity was found between cerebrum and cerebellum within the same male and female. Thus it appears that sex alters AChE activity in different brain regions (G4 isoform) that may vary in male and female. Sequence analysis revealed that highest divergence was found in between male cerebrum and female cerebrum (6.0) and least divergence was found in between male cerebellum and female cerebellum (3.2) with control AChE NM_EF534897.

Abstract: Inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE), the metabolizing enzyme of acetylcholine is evolving as the most important therapeutic target for development of cognitive enhancers. However, AChE activity in brain has not been properly evaluated on the basis of sex. In the present study, AChE expression was investigated in different brain areas of cerebrum and cerebellum in male and female of five different vertebrate species. On comparing male and female genders, increased AChE activity was seen in cerebrum and cerebellum of female of five different vertebrate species. However, no significant change in AChE activity was found between cerebrum and cerebellum within the same male and female. Thus it appears that sex alters AChE activity in different brain regions (G4 isoform) that may vary in male and female. Sequence analysis revealed that highest divergence was found in between male cerebrum and female cerebrum and least divergence was found in between male cerebellum and female cerebellum with control AChE of five different vertebrate species.

Abstract: Purpose: Almond is a fruit that can be grown and consumed by almost every region of the world. For many years people have thought that almond juice is good for many diseases. As a result of the studies carried out today, it has been determined that the certain amount of used rubbein is good for cancer, diabetes and many diseases mainly due to its antioxidant properties.This study investigated whether A. trichamygdalus fruit, an almond species, is beneficial to human health. It is known that the DNA of the main cause of the above-mentioned diseases is damage. In this study, it was aimed to investigate whether the A. trichamygdalus fruit had an effect on preventing or correcting DNA damage. It has been very important to study the effects of the substances that have recently been linked or interacted with DNA. The work done to prevent the damages that may arise from the effects of these effects is being seriously projected............

Abstract: Amylase is (E.C.3.2.1.1-1,4-alpha D-glucanohydrolase) an extracellular enzyme, which is involved in the starch processing industries where it breaks starch into simple sugar constituents.Amylase has extensive application in starch processing, brewing and sugar production, in textile industries and in detergent manufacturing processes. Interestingly, the first enzyme produced industrially was an amylase.In the present study, amylase producing bacteria were isolated from rice field, sugarcane field and sugarcane dump area and characterized for their morphological and biochemical properties. Then amylase activity of isolated bacterial cultures were determined and it was concluded that 3 (NN1, NN2, NN5)out of 6 bacterial colonies(NN1, NN2, NN3, NN4, NN5, NN6) were potent and their enzyme activity was more than other colonies. The potent colonies were also optimized for enzyme activity under certain conditions like different carbon sources, nitrogen sources, pH, incubation time and chlorides.Agro-industrial..........

Abstract: Bioremediation exploiting a variety of microorganisms for the degradation of recalcitrant organics appears as an eco-friendly solution to the problem of environmental pollution. Microbes have been talented by nature with the ability of degrading a wide variety of environmental pollutants competently with minimum amount of sludge production. In this work, we have investigated the decolorization and degradation of a mixture of triphenylmethane dyes, Malachite green, Crystal Violet and Basic Fuchsin by a bacterial consortium separately and in a mixed solution. Decolorization studies were carried out with single dye solution as well as mix dye solution with respect to pH, temperature and initial dye concentration. Decolorized products were analyzed with UV-visible spectroscopy and Thin Layer Chromatography, which indicates the process of decolorization in this case, is biodegradation. The decolorized products were also checked for level of COD, wherefrom it was found that the decolorized products were completely safe for the environment up to a concentration of 100 mg/L.

Abstract: Bacteria were isolated from the sewage water for the purpose of enhancing biogas production. The sample was serially diluted up to 10-7 dilution, for the isolation of hydrolytic, acidogenic, acetogenic and methanogenic bacteria. However, nutrient agar was used for the isolation of hydrolytic bacteria, while basal media supplemented with specific substrate has been used for the isolation of acidogenic, acetogenic and methanogenic bacteria. After the isolation, the hydrolytic bacteria from the nutrient agar plates were selected on the basis of prominence for the preliminary screening of bacteria. After preliminary screening the efficient strains showed highest zone of clearance were selected for enzyme assay along with acidogenic, acetogenic and methanogenic bacteria. Based on the highest enzyme activity of hydrolytic (cellulase - 21.3U/ml, protease -205.6U/ml, lipase-23.2U/ml), acidogenic (acetate-520U/ml), acetogenic (acetate dehydrogenase-325.2U/ml), methanogenic (methyl transferase..........

Abstract: Sacchaomyces cerevisiea has been widely used in the production of bioethanol from several substrates. This study portrays the molecular characterization and alcohol tolerance of Sacchaomyces cerevisiea used in the production of bioethanol from waste paper. The Sacchaomyces cerevisiea isolate used with ascension number MG584866 was shown to have 99% similarity to its gene bank relative Sacchaomyces cerevisiea with ascension number CP006454. The alcohol tolerance of the Sacchaomyces cerevisiea recorded 100% mortality at 40% alcohol concentration, while 0% mortality was recorded at 0% concentration. The isolate was however able to survive 30% alcohol concentration where 76% mortality was recorded.
