RAPD–PCR Analysis of An Important Medicinal Plant Tinospora cordifolia (Willd.) Miers ex Hook. F. & Thoms Collected from Western Ghats of South India
Abstract: Herbal drug technology is the emerging area in pharmaceutical industries. The molecular-based quality control is need of the hour to find out the adulterant. DNA-based techniques have been widely used for authentication of plant species of medicinal importance. The present study investigates the RAPD-PCR analysis of Tinospora cordifolia using RAPD-PCR techniques between five populations. A total of 44 polymorphic bands were observed. The genetic distance between the population ranged from …

Starter Culture Development for Spontaneously Fermented Buttermilk
Abstract: Fourteen fermented milks were made from ultra-high temperature (UHT) treated milk using mixtures of three strains of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and two yeast strains isolated from spontaneously fermented buttermilk (SFB). The isolates used for this experiment were Lactococcus (Lc.) lactis ssp lactis strain NGLC1, Lc. lactis ssp lactis strain NGLC2, Lactobacillus plantarum strain NGLB1, Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain NGY1 and Kluyveromyces marxianus strain NGY2. Inoculated milk was fermented for 48 …

3D-QSAR Studies, Molecular Docking and Adme Property Prediction of Mannosyl Triazoles Used as Potent Antiadhesives of Uropathogenic E. coli
Abstract: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common infectious diseases, accounting for almost five million cases annually and causing considerable morbidity and mortality. Escherichia coli is a commensal inhabitant of the mammalian large intestine and the most common cause of UTIs in humans. Increasing incidence of antibiotic-resistant E. coli causing up to 95% of these infections, calls for additional therapeutic considerations. In this study, 3D-quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR) analysis …

Treatment of Crop Residues Using a Noble Thermostatic Bacterial Isolate to Improve Feed Utilization by Ruminants
Abstract: Most researches in modification of nutrient values of crop residue by using biological methods have primarily focused on treatment using fungi. The use of bacterial isolates is yet hardly assessed to isolate novels from different sources. Some reports indicated the lignocellulolytic activity of thermostatic bacteria and their potential to produce in shorter time. In this context, the present study was focused on isolation of novel thermostatic bacteria from different sources …

Bio-Ethanol Production from Areca Nut Husk by Simultaneous Saccharification and Fermentation Process Using Mixed Cultures Aspergillus niger and Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Abstract: Bioethanol as an alternative source of energy has received special attention worldwide with the recent advances in biotechnology Saccharomyces cerevisiae has an efficient anaerobic ferments cellulase abundantly present in lingo-cellulosic biomass with high yield and productivity. Mixed culture fermentation can be considered as a technology for production of cellulase and further fermentation to produce ethanol, considering the low cost input and ability to utilize naturally available sources of cellulose as …
