Preliminary Screening of Bio-surfactant Producing Bacteria Isolated from an Oil Contaminated Soil

Kawo Abdullahi Hassan, Yahaya Sani & Olawore Yemisi Ajoke · Asian Journal of Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology · 2018

Spent motor oil represents one of the most prominent and tenacious contaminants of soil within mechanic workshops across Nigeria. Adaptation and natural evolution proffer a rich array of a microorganism capable of producing bio-surfactants which are of high value to industry, par...

Nuclease Activity of the DNA Polymerases: An Evasion of Microscopic Reversibility Leading to Fidelity in Excess of Kinetic Control Levels

Sosale Chandrasekhar · Asian Journal of Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology · 2018

The exonuclease and endonuclease activities of the DNA polymerases, which extend their proof-reading capabilities and maintain high fidelity in the replication process, apparently conflict with the principle of microscopic reversibility. However, in-depth mechanistic analysis of...

Hypoglycaemic and Hypolipidemic Effects of Treculia africana Aqueous Leaves Extract in Alloxan Induced Diabetic Rats

Idris A. Kankara, Gayus A. Paulina & M. Aliyu · Asian Journal of Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology · 2018

This study investigated the hypoglycaemic and hypolipidaemic effects of Treculia africana plant used in Nigeria as medicinal plant. Diabetes mellitus was induced by a single dose intraperitoneal injection of alloxan 150 mg/kg body weight. Twenty five (25) male albino rats were di...
