    A Bioinformatics Approach for the Identification of Genes Responsible for Biofilm Formation in Candida Species

    By Anushka Anil Chhabria, Dristi Kalita, Bindu Sadanandan

    Abstract: Candida biofilm is one of the attributes for drug resistance in candidiasis. Candida biofilms are found on prosthetics, catheters, and implanted devices leads to biofouling. Genes such as ALS1, CDR1, ERG11, HWP1, LIP4 and WOR1 code for biofilm. In this study, bioinformatics tools have been used for data mining and analysis of genes responsible for biofilm formation in Candida tropicalis. Genes responsible for biofilm were tabulated via PubMed search, based …

    A Mini Review on Genes Associated with in vitro and in vivo Carbon Nanotubes Toxicity

    By V. Vijayalakshmi, Bindu Sadanandan

    Abstract: Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are the most extensively used nanomaterials due to their unique properties and diverse applications. The potential toxicity caused due to the exposure of CNTs in vitro and in vivo is being widely studied. This mini review provides information about the genes responsible for inflammatory, fibrotic and apoptotic responses during single and multi-walled CNT toxicity. Based on published literature, the upregulated pro-inflammatory genes are EGR1, ATF3, FGF21, EGF1 …

    UV Induced Increase in Activity of Subtilisin from Bacillus subtilis MTCC441

    By Bindu Sadanandan, Amruta P Jogalekar, Veena Vishwanathan

    Abstract: Microorganisms are constantly exposed to varying physical, chemical and biological conditions which induce morphological, biochemical and genetic changes in them. These changes may be deleterious to some organisms whereas others develop mechanisms to overcome such stresses. This study was conducted to understand the microbiological and biochemical changes in bacteria under conditions of UV stress. Bacillus subtilis MTCC441, a ubiquitous, spore forming bacterium was chosen as the model organism for this …
