An Enhanced Fish Feed Supplemented with Probiotics and Spirulina Formulation for Commercial Production
Abstract: In recent years, the probiotics isolated from fish gut microbiota is used in aquaculture practices as there is a demand to improve the quality of life of fishes. The aim of the study is to isolate probiotic microbe from the gut of Etroplus suratensis and to evaluate the most suitable probiotic for feed formulation. Two bacterial isolates from the gastrointestinal tract (GI) of Etroplus suratensis was evaluated for probiotic properties. …

Studies on Biosurfactants from Petroleum Contaminated Soil to Check its Application in Cosmetics
Abstract: Biosurfactant is basically known as surface active molecules, synthesized by different microorganisms. In the present study, biosurfactant producing strains PD1 and PD2 were isolated from the petroleum contaminated site, Vallabh Vidyanagar, Gujarat, India. The isolates were screened by oil displacement and hemolytic methods. The optimization of different parameters was done with the aim of increasing product. Waste substrates were also used to reduce biosurfactant production cost. The surface tension reduction, …

A Review of History and Origin of Corona Virus Infection
Abstract: Crown infection (COVID-19) is a wrapped RNA infection that is differently found in people and natural life. A sum of six animal groups has been distinguished to cause infection in people. They are known to contaminate the neurological, respiratory, enteric, and hepatic frameworks. The previous not many decades have seen endemic flare-ups as Middle East respiratory disorder crown infection (MERSCoV) and extreme intense respiratory disorder related crown infection (SARS-CoV).The latest …

Efficacy of Rapid Diagnostic Tests in Relation to ELISA in Hepatitis B and C Infection
Abstract: Background: Hepatitis B surface antigen and Hepatitis C antibodies in circulation are the common markers used for diagnosis of Hepatitis B and C infection. Though ELISA is the gold standard for detection of these markers, rapid diagnostic tests like immunochromatography is used in most of the centers for quick screening of cases. This study is undertaken to compare the result of both methods. Method: Both ICT and ELISA test were …
