Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUtilization of Rumen Content by Indigenous Microorganisms in a Modified Anaerobic DigesterAlhassan Salihu Adam, Sani Yahaya, Haruna Musa et al.The current work was designed to assess the effect of modification of model digester on the kinetics that affects efficiency in biogas generation using bovine rumen content as the feedstock. A biogas plant consisting of conventional and modified fixed-dome digesters (each with 2 m3 capacity) was established; and bovine rumen content was used as feedstock. Standard methods were used to … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 26 Sep 2020 · 6,780 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDiversity of Culturable Halophilic Archaea and Bacteria from Chott Tinsilt and El Malah Salt-Lake in AlgeriaAkmoussi-Toumi Siham, Khemili-Talbi Souad, Kebbouche-Gana Salima et al.At the limits of life, hyper-saline aquatic ecosystems; Chott and Sebkha are a model of choice of extreme environments, housing a halophilic microflora that had to adapt to these conditions. In Algeria, these ecosystems are poorly studied. However, our study was carried out on the waters of Chott Tinsilt and Sebkha El Malah. The study of this microflora revealed the … …Current Research in Bioinformatics, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2020 · 7,536 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBarcode of Life Data Systems (BOLD) Versus GenBank Molecular Identification of a Dragonfly from the UAE in Comparison to the Morphological IdentificationNoora Almansoori, Mohamed Rizk Enan, Mohammad Ali Al-DeebDragonflies are insects in the order Odonata. They inhabit freshwater ecosystems and are found in the UAE. To date, few checklists have been published for the local dragonflies and the used identification keys are not comprehensive of Arabia. The aim of this study was to provide a molecular identification of a dragonfly based on the mitochondrial Cytochrome c Oxidase subunit … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 4 · 30 Nov 2019 · 8,213 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExpression of microRNA miR-27, miR-124 and miR-218 Among Dental Pulp Stem Cell (DPSC) IsolatesMark Whiting, Karl KingsleyDental Pulp Stem Cells (DPSCs) are non-embryonic, mesenchymal stem cells that may have significant potential for therapeutic and regenerative biomedical applications. MicroRNAs are small non-coding RNA molecules that can act as transcriptional activators and repressors in many types of mesenchymal stem cells. To date, few studies have evaluated the expression or activity of microRNAs among dental pulp stem cells. Using … …Current Research in Dentistry, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 1 Jan 2019 · 8,167 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Review: Biodegradation and Applications of Keratin Degrading Microorganisms and Keratinolytic Enzymes, Focusing on Thermophiles and Thermostable Serine ProteasesWirojne Kanoksilapatham, Weeranut IntagunKeratins are hard-degrading fibrous proteins, insoluble in water and organic solvents, often accumulated in nature and major components in feathers, skins, hair, horn, nail, hoof etc., Keratin-degrading microorganisms such as bacteria, archaea, actinomycetes and fungi employ keratinases to attack keratin. Keratinases belonging to subtilisin-like serine proteases were classified based on similarity of amino acid sequences. Keratinolytic thermophilic or hyperthermophilic bacteria … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 11 · 10 Nov 2017 · 9,981 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Keratinolytic Activity Succeeds by Keratinophilic Fungi in Jaipur, IndiaVishnu Sharma, Anima Sharma, Ruchi SethEarth has innate background for fungi that cover individual kingdom since evolution. The keratinophilic fungi are allied moulds that produce the keratinase enzyme to degrade the keratinous materials in or on the soil. Keratinous materials are insoluble and resistant to degradation by common proteinase enzymes. It is important to study the microorganism producers of such enzymes for use in the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 7 · 12 Apr 2017 · 7,563 accessesView PDFCite
Research NotesOpen accessIn the abstractAnalyses of the Interleukin32 Transcript Variants in Breast Cancer Cell LinesKayla Burrell, Audrey PlayerRecent data show the IL32 gene has at least nine transcript variants. The aim of this current study is to characterize the different transcript variants based on the latest sequencing data deposited in the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) and determine which variants are responsible for the differential pattern of gene expression previously observed in MCF7 compared to MDA … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 31 Oct 2016 · 6,949 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplying Data Warehousing in University Information Systems in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia: A Conceptual DiscussionHisham Al SaghierThe Kingdom of Saudi Arabia education system is on the right way to be one of the finest education systems among the world’s education system. The most important aim is to develop the Saudi Arabia education is hub of the global map by improving the educational quality. The kingdom of Saudi Arabia focuses on Information and Communication Technology Systems (ICTS), … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 12, Issue 6 · 13 Jul 2016 · 7,094 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimization of Cultural Conditions for Production of Exopolysaccaride by Halomonas marina HMA 103 under Batch-CultureArundhati Pal, Amrita Biswas, Sriya Chatterjee, A. K. PaulA moderately halophilic bacterium, Halomonas marina HMA 103 (MTCC 8968) accumulating intracellular polyesters also produced significant amount of exopolysaccharides (EPS) under batch-culture. Production of EPS by the bacterium was more or less parallel with the growth in modified basal synthetic medium. During growth, it produced 0.46 g/L of EPS after 50 h of incubation and was accompanied by the complete … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 27 Jul 2015 · 7,932 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGRAPHENE OXIDE AS ANTIMICROBIAL AGAINST TWO GRAM-POSITIVE AND TWO GRAM-NEGATIVE BACTERIA IN ADDITION TO ONE FUNGUSRoda F. Al-Thani, Noorunnisa Khanam Patan, Mariam A. Al-MaadeedGraphene based materials have wide potential applications in biology, biomedical, agriculture environmental and biotechnology. Graphene Oxide (GO) is one of those materials and has a promising substance as antimicrobial agents. GO in this study was prepared by a modified Hummers method and was characterized by different techniques for confirmation of formation of GO. To study the antimicrobial activities of GO, … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 3 · 14 Oct 2014 · 9,243 accessesView PDFCite
