Criteria for Algal Classification
Abstract: Algae are the photosynthetic microcells found in the aquatic environment. Algae are the unicells and multicellular microorganisms ranging in size from a few microns to the meters-long kelps in the ocean's large seas. Algae are both kinds, they can be prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms, prokaryotic algae are of the cyanobacteria, whereas the rest of the algae of the other classes are of eukaryotic origin. Algae are aquatic in origin, plant …

Ecological and Biomonitoring Studies of Freshwater with Reference to Selected Phytoplankton Species of Manar Reservoir, Maharashtra
Abstract: Freshwater reservoirs play a crucial role in supporting domestic, agricultural, and fisheries requirements, particularly in semi-arid regions of Maharashtra. Rivers and the surface water are important sources of drinking and several other usages. Aquatic ecosystems are vital in the supply of nutritious food and food source supplementation. Therefore, we selected to study the role of plankton within the aquatic ecosystem systematically here. Plankton are very small organisms; they are of …

Studies of CRISPR/CAS 9 Gene Interactions in Streptococcus pyogenes
Abstract: Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)/cas9/single guide RNA (sgRNA) system is a DNA editing system in mostly studied in prokaryotes. Studies of CRISPR/cas9 gene interactions in Streptococcus pyogenes has been conducted using in silico approaches in the present research. Proteins like DNA polymerase I (polA), NAD-dependent DNA ligase LigA (ligA), Translaldolase (tal), Thymidine kinase (tdk), Streptococcal exotoxin I (speI), Phage associated protein (SPy_0679) and Hypothetical proteins like SPy_1047, SPy_1048, …

Pf Phosphatidylserine decarboxylase: Molecular modeling and inhibithors prediction
Abstract: Plasmodium falciparum (P.f) is a protozoan parasite responsible for the most severe and deadly form of malaria. The resistance of Pf to last resort antimalarial drugs has been reported, there is an urgent need to identify new therapeutic candidates for drug development. Advancements in bioinformatics technologies provide potential cost and time-effective solutions for predicting therapeutic candidates. Phosphatidylserine decarboxylase (PSD) is a member of the lyase family (more specifically, the carboxy-lyases), …

The Ames Test in Twenty-first Century
Abstract: Since the 19th century, industrial development has increased exposure to mutagens and possible carcinogens. In order to avoid these health risks, several techniques have been developed to recognize genotoxins. In the 1970s, Dr. Bruce Ames and colleagues, studying the histidine operon of Salmonella typhimurium, observed that histidine (−) auxotroph mutants were reverted to histidine (+) upon exposure to a mutagen. The researchers further observed that known carcinogens were mutagenic to …

Future Prospects and Economical Impacts of Algae Derived Biofuel
Abstract: The economic strength of a country depends mainly on the fuel, which is depleting at a spontaneous rate and also polluting the atmosphere, making it incompatible for the human survival and growth of other living beings. Looking at the current scenario, crucial efforts have been initiated in the areas of biofuels like biodiesel, bioethanol etc. The diesel is used worldwide at a very massive frequency in different sectors such as …

Homology Modeling of tRNA-dependent Amidotransferase from Malaria Parasite
Abstract: Normal 0 false false false EN-IN X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 Malaria is one of the most prevalent diseases in the world. The causative agent of malaria is a protozoan named Plasmodium. Many drugs have been invented against malaria parasite but increasing resistant against existing drugs necessitates the discovery of many new drugs. Plasmodium parasite is the member of apicomplexan group which harbor a plastid, apicoplast. The machinery of apicoplast protein synthesis …

Super-earths (Exo-planets): How Much Probability of Colonization of Life is There?
Abstract: On January 4th, 2009 American Astronomical Society in Washington D.C, the Kepler team announced that it had identified first new exo-planet and after that up to 2013, Kepler had identified nearly 4034 exoplanets or Super earth outside our solar system where some chemical conditions that the pre-biotic earth had might have prompted life, at least in form of microbes. Scientists so far announced the lists of earth-sized 4034 exo-planets with …

Detection and Comparative Analysis of Uber-operons of FabZ gene Responsible for Fatty Acid Biosynthesis in Nostoc Punctiforme Cyanobacterium
Abstract: The increasing price of petroleum products has necessitated the development of alternative fuel energy. The long alkyl chains that represent nature’s ‘petroleum’, are today isolated from microbes, plant and animal oils by amore scalable, controllable and economic routes.Hence, in this perspective, the present study was aimed at exploring the uber-operons of FabZ gene responsible for the synthesis of fatty acid in an aquatic nitrogen-fixing and filamentous cyanobacterium called Nostoc punctiforme. …
