Partial Characterization of Crude Lipase from Mutant Soil Fungal Isolate
Abstract: Lipases are cluster of enzymes which cleaves oils and fats. Characterization properties oflipases have been studied in the present investigation because they play an imperative role inseveral industrial applications. The present lipase obtained from soil fungal strain named asEMS5%-60min exhibited optimum activity at pH 7.0 (24.90±0.25 IU/ml/min) and 37ºC (20.28±0.51IU/ml/min). In pH stability profile, the enzyme was found stable in alkaline pH range withhighest activity (13.08±0.07 IU/ml/min) at pH 9.0. …

Molecular Diagnosis of Rifampicin Antibiotic Resistance in Mycobacterium Avium Subspecies Paratuberculosis Isolated from Sheep Clinical Samples
Abstract: The present study was conducted to identify parts of the rpoB gene in MAP of Indian sheep isolates. The rpoB gene (Beta sub unit of RNA polymerase) is involved in conferring the rifampicin antibiotic resistance in MAP bacteria. The resistance is due to the presence of mutations in the 81 bp variable region of the rpoB gene including C1367T and T1442C mutations identified by several workers. The study was further …

Molecular Methods to Improve the Insecticidal Action of Bacillus thuringiensis in Biotechnology Arena
Abstract: Bacillus thuringiensis (or Bt) is a Gram-positive, soil-dwelling bacterium, frequently used as an organic pesticide. B. thuringiensis also arises naturally in the gut of caterpillars of several kinds of moths and butterflies, as well on foliage surfaces, marine environments, animal feces, insect-rich surroundings, and flour mills and grain-storage facilities. All through sporulation, various Bt strains harvest crystal proteins (proteinaceous inclusions), termed δ-endotoxins, that have insecticidal action. This has led to …

Innatism in Locke and the Belief in “OBOT”: A Contrastive Study
Abstract: What occupies a conspicuous stead among the multifarious concatenation of issues that stir the mind about philosophy is the question: how do human beings become conscious of their belief in the supra-sensible being? As an appendage enquiry, one might ask further: do they become conscious of them through the senses? Or, are they revealed to them intuitively through the rational faculty? Even more seriously, are these beliefs generated from their …

Heterosis in Blackgram - History and Future Thrust
Abstract: AbstractHeterosis is the increase in vigor that is observed in progenies of matings of diverse individuals from different species, isolated populations or selected strains within species or populations. Heterosis has been of immense economic value in agriculture and has important implications regarding the fitness and fecundity of individuals in natural populations. Considering mungbean (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek), a pulse crop which is self-pollinated, little work has been done on heterosis. …
