Bile Tolerance Activity of Probiotic Bacteria (Lactobacillus and Bifidobacteria)
Abstract: Twenty two strains of each probiotic organisms Lactobacillus (LAB) and Bifidobacteria (BB) were isolated from the faeces of breast-fed infants at the University of Putra, Malaysia. Mann Rogossa and Sharpe (MRS) and Trypticase Phytone Peptone Yeast extract (TPY) were used as selective media for the isolation of these organisms. Resistance to bile is an important characteristic that enables probiotic organisms to survive and grow in the intestinal tract. Six LAB …

Psychrophiles: Cold Adaptation
Abstract: Almost three-quarters of the Earth’s surface are covered by cold ecosystems, involving the depths of ocean, and Polar Regions. These continuous cold environments have been successfully covered by members of extremophiles which are known as psychrophiles (means cold-loving). To grow at temperatures that are close to, or below, the freezing point of water requires many adaptations. To survive in such cold weather, psychrophilic organisms developed structural, physiological and molecular adaptations. …

Molecular Characterization of Abiotic Stress Tolerant Chickpea Rhizobia
Abstract: Rhizobacteria are root-colonizing bacteria that form a symbiotic relationship with many legumes. Though parasitic varieties of rhizobacteria exist, the term usually refers to bacteria that form a relationship beneficial for both the parties (mutualism). Such bacteria are often referred to as plant growth promoting rhizobacterias (PGPRs). Though microbial inoculants are indisputably beneficial for crops, they are not widely used in industrial agriculture, as large-scale application techniques have yet to become …

Role of Models in Predicting Toxicity Criteria against Arsenic Toxicity Test Exposed to Therapon Jarbua (Forsskal, 1775)
Abstract: Prediction of safe concentration, no-effect concentration for reduced animal usage in chronic toxicity test was attempted as well as to create a toxicity criteria limit for arsenic using Therapon jarbua in static renewal acute toxicity test. The LC50 value derived was 3.95 (3.43–4.58) mg/L arsenic. The derived LC50 was applied for prediction of safe concentration leading to a value of 39.5 µg/L. The raw survival and mortality data was fed …

Combination of Nanomaterials and Mesenchymal Stem Cells for Effective Treatment of Epilepsy
Abstract: Around 50 million people across the world are affected due to epilepsy. One of the most common symptoms of epilepsy is seizures which is usually controlled by administering anti-epileptic drugs. But these drugs fail to control seizures for a long period of time as they do not change the underlying physiological conditions of the brain. Therefore, it is very important to alter the biological mechanism that causes seizures. This can …

ISSR Marker Analysis of Cypriniform Fishes in Southern Western Ghats
Abstract: The conservation biology and knowledge of the relatedness between populations is particularly important in absorbed breeding programs that attempt to reduce incestuous mating in order to minimize inbreeding. A decline in genetic variation reduces the ability of a population to adapt to environmental changes and decreases its long term survival. The molecular genetic variability among three cyprinids fish species (D. aequippinatus, G. mullya and D. filamentosa) using ISSR markers was …
