Extracellular protease produced by Serratia marcescens isolated from the gut of termite (Centrocestus formosanus) was investigated in this study. The effect of temperature, pH, carbon and nitrogen sources on protease production was examined. The extracellular protease was separated from the culture supernatant of the organism through precipitation with ammonium sulfate. The protease was purifie...

The spectrum of Tenebrio molitor larval digestive proteinases was studied in the context of the spatial organization of protein digestion in the midgut. The pH of midgut contents increased from 5.2-5.6 to 7.8-8.2 from the anterior to the posterior. This pH gradient was reflected in the pH optima of the total proteolytic activity, 5.2 in the anterior and 9.0 in the posterior midgut. When measure...

Three lectures on supersymmetric GUTs given at PITP 2008 “Strings and Phenomenology,” July 14 25, 2008.

Cellulose is the most abundant biopolymer on earth, recognized as the major component of plant biomass. The cellulolytic microorganisms were isolated from gut of earthworm (Eisenia foetida). Using Glycerol asparagine agar media, the organisms were identified as Actinomycetes sps.. The endoglucanase activity of the culture broth was determined during actinomycetes growth by measuring the release...

With an aim to devise a prophylactic and/or therapeutic approach for preventing internalization of radiothallium (201Tl), and more importantly by implication, its chemical analogue radiocesium (137Cs) during any nuclear emergency, different ex vivo and in vivo animal models were created to determine the role ofpH in absorption of 201Tl across jejunum/muscle tissue and whole body retention of 20...

Although parasitic infections remained major obstacles to economic progress and a better life in developing countries due their ability damage the host's tissues directly through metabolism, there are many constraints that parasites faced course of interaction with host. The present review was conducted document various challenges by while forming symbiotic association Over sixty (60) articles ...

the silver nanoparticles are well-known for their antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory wound healing abilities. we synthesized silver nanoparticles using chemical reduction method and the formation of the silver nanoparticles was characterized by uv-vis absorption spectroscopy, ft-ir and sem techniques. the minimum inhibitory concentration of the synthesized nanoparticles was determined for both gr...

Introduction: According to evidence, Early-Life Stress (ELS), mood disorders, and medical comorbidities, i.e.  Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), are correlated; however, the direct contribution of ELS to IBS manifestations is less understood. The current study aimed at evaluating the effect of voluntary exercise on the mitochondrial dysfunction of the bowel fibroblasts, following the confirmation...
