Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Slum Water on Physiology of Heteropneustes fossilis Collected from Silchar, AssamRubina Roy, Bijoy Brahma, Satabdi Bhattacharjee, Soumitra NathPoverty and overpopulation are not just prevailing in big cities, but have also become a matter of concern in small towns. Safe drinking water is considered a basic human need, yet millions of people do not have access to an adequate and safe water supply. The present study is focused on the quality assessment of water bodies of slum areas … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 11 Feb 2019 · 7,912 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMOLECULAR CHARACTERIZATION ON THE BASIS OF HA, NA AND M GENE REVEALED CHANGES IN CRITICAL AMINO ACID POSITIONS OF INFLUENZA A (H3N2) VIRUS CIRCULATING IN INDIA DURING 2011-2013Sachin Kumar, Shashi Khare, Bano Saidullah et al.Influenza a (H1N1) virus is responsible for acute respiratory infection in human, which occasionally causes epidemic and rarely a pandemic. Full length DNA sequencing of HA, NA and M gene of H3N2 virus from year 2011-2013 was performed for determination of the circulating strains in India along with monitoring status of various mutations associated with drug resistance and virulence. Genetic … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 18 Oct 2014 · 6,839 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCOUPLED NITROGEN AND OXYGEN ISOTOPE STUDY OF NITRATE AT A RURAL UNLINED LANDFILL IN WESTERN VICTORIA, AUSTRALIAJohn W. Moreau, Andrew M. MinardUnderstanding of site-scale physical and chemical heterogeneities will inform remediation strategies for unlined rural landfills worldwide. The aim of this study was to characterize potential sources of nitrogen contamination to groundwater at an unlined landfill in rural western Victoria, Australia. Results revealed simultaneously high concentrations of both nitrate and ammonia within several wells, indicative of heterogeneous redox potentials within the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 30 Jun 2014 · 7,607 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLocalization of the Dissimilatory Arsenate Reductase in Sulfurospirillum Barnesii Strain SeS-3Eman AfkarProblem statement: Sulfurospirillim barnesii strain SeS-3 is one of the recently known bacterial isolates that can obtain energy to support growth by respiring the toxic oxyanions of arsenic and selenium under anaerobic conditions. Approach: The ultimate goal of this investigation is to localize the active sites for the reduction of arsenate arsenite as well as selenate selenite in S. barnesii … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 5 Mar 2012 · 7,908 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Body Calming and Body Vitalizing Effects of Vernonia Amygdalina Leaf Extract and Leaf Powder and their MechanismsUtoh-Nedosa Uchechukwu AnastasiaProblem statement: Vernonia amygdalina (V. amygdalina) leaf soup is regarded by the indigenous Igbo people of South Eastern Nigeria as their best leafy vegetable soup. Despite the bitterness of the bitter leaf soup, the native eaters of the soup feel very content when they eat pounded carbohydrate foods with it. Oral V. amygdalina leaf extract was taken methodically in this … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 20 Sep 2011 · 8,163 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGenomic Distance between Thymidylate Synthase and Dihydrofolate Reductase Genes Does Not Correlate With Phylogenetic Evolution in BacteriaVitor Hugo MoreauProblem statement: Dihydrofolate Reductase (DHFR) and Thymidylate Synthase (TS) exist as bifunctional enzymes coded into unique polypeptide chain in protozoans. Bifunctional DHFR-TS is associated with an increase in the enzymatic activity by channeling the substrate between the active sites. In some bacteria, DHFR and TS genes are neighbors in the genome, whereas in others, they are located millions of base … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,188 accessesView PDF Cite
