The milk and the soft cheese (wara) produced from tigernut were stored in the refrigerator and samples for microbiological analyses were collected at day one, seven and fourteen. Bacterial load of tigernut milk during storage increased from 1.5 101 to 1.8 101cfu/mL while the ba...
Drought is one of the limiting factors to annual maize production worldwide, as every year, about 15 to 20% of maize yield is lost to drought. Improvement in maize drought tolerance has always been one of the main objectives of a plant breeder. Measurement of physiological and mo...
Antibiotic resistance has been observed since the discovery of antibiotics, and the indiscriminate use of antibiotics have contributed to the spread of resistance among bacteria species. Antibiotic resistance is encoded by several genes and can be easily transferred between bacte...
Background: Consolidated bioprocessing (CBP) candidate construction remains gray in the biotechnology of bioethanol production; and recent lead way involved genetic transformation of competent cells with ethanologenic and/or cellulolytic characteristics from natural microorganism...
The purpose of this study was to test the effect of Ficus platyphylla ROOT on Butyryl-cholinesterase in Clarias gariepinus. Extraction of the root was carried out with 80 percent methanol. Initially, adult catfish were subjected to a toxicity analysis at the doses of 0.5, 1 and 2...
Several species of shellfish from the Bivalve class have unique adaptability to attach their self to a substrate as an effort of defense in strong currents. This is possible by the presence of a special protein which able to coordinate strongly with the substrate even underwater,...
Aims: The aim of the study was to determinate the CYP1A2 gene rs762551 polymorphism responsible for caffeine in healthy individuals. Study Design: DNA was isolated from saliva samples taken from healthy individuals. Analysis of A and C allele distribution of CYP1A2 gene rs762551...
Lebanese barley landrace Baladi is not sufficiently analyzed morphologically and genetically. This investigation was carried out to evaluate Baladi in its center of diversification by using morphological traits and microsatellite markers (SSR). The genetic diversity of 237 access...
A pot experiment was conducted in the net house of the Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka-1207, during November 2013 to March 2014 to observe the performances of fifteen tomato genotypes under three different drought treatments...
Nitric oxide is one of the important modulators of arterial tone. It is still unclear whether arterial stiffness depends upon NOS3 gene polymorphism in intron 4. The aim of this observational study was to test an association of central hemodynamic and arterial distensibility with...
