information about chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (copd)-related health resources allocation in china is very limited. the aim of the study was to explore the distribution of copd-related health resources allocation among different levels public hospitals (phs) in hunan province of central south china.we randomly collected data from 57 public hospitals (phs) at 3 different levels in huna...

Bacterial amylase from Bacillus subtilis and fungal amylase from Aspergillus niger were potential source for industrial exploitation in the field of amylase production. Hence, this study on bacterial amylase and fungal amylase was done to compare the kinetic parameter of both the types of amylases. 30-60% ammonium sulfate precipitation has done which showed 90 % of purification of both the part...

Clostridium thermosulfurogenes, an anaerobic bacterium which ferments starch into ethanol at 62 degrees C, produced an active extracellular amylase and contained intracellular glucoamylase but not pullulanase activity. The extracellular amylase was purified 2.4-fold, and its general physicochemical and catalytic properties were examined. The extracellular amylase was characterized as a beta-amy...

α-Amylase from Trichoderma harzianum was covalently immobilized on activated wool by cyanuric chloride. Immobilized α-amylase exhibited 75% of its initial activity after 10 runs. The soluble and immobilized α-amylases exhibited maximum activity at pH values 6.0 and 6.5, respectively. The immobilized enzyme was more thermally stable than the soluble one. Various substrates were hydrolyzed by imm...

Seed dormancy, the main factor contributing to preharvest sprouting (PHS) resistance, is a complex trait and is strongly infl uenced by environmental growth conditions. In this study, three sets of single chromosome substitution lines, including 36 genotypes, in a durum wheat [Triticum turgidum L. ssp. durum (Desf.) Husn.] background with donor chromosomes originating from three wild emmer [T. ...
