Microbial fuel cell (MFC) is one of the promising fuel cell technologies. MFCs offer a breakthrough for the treatment of wastewater coupled with energy generation. However, their applications are mostly limited to laboratories. Present research is focused on conducting the biological treatment of wastewater originated from fermentation industry using microbial fuel cell (MFC) through the microbes...
The current study was focused on isolating and identifying methionine producing bacteria from poultry waste. The bacteria were isolated from poultry waste and the ones which specifically produced methionine on solid agar medium, using a methionine requiring auxotroph (Escherichia coli) were kept for further analysis. Methionine assay was also carried out after fermentation to quantify methionine produced...
This research work was design to investigate the influence of different treatments of Indole Butyric Acid (IBA) on the cuttings of avocado. Cuttings of avocado were transplanted from the sand beds to the plastic bags after a year with mixture of soil garden, farmyard manure, and silt of equal proportion. The study was conducted in green house at University of Poonch Rawalakot, during 2017. The experiment...
Thrombocytopenia is commonly encountered hematological abnormality, which might be attributed to hepatitis C virus (HCV) in acute and chronic infection. This study aims to determine the prevalence of thrombocytopenia as a clinical manifestation of chronic HCV infection in non-cirrhotic patients having spleen of normal size. A cross sectional study was carried out in Ayub Teaching Hospital, Abbottabad,...
The focus of current research study was to evaluate the influence of the seed extract of Citrullus lanatus on urea, creatinine, potassium, sodium, chloride and bicarbonate in streptozotocin induced diabetic rats. Eighteen male wistar albino rats were divided into six groups of three rats each, diabetes were induced in all the rats except group 1 by intra-peritoneal injection of 45 mg/kg b.wt. of streptozotocin...
This review focuses on the key aspects of lipases. Lipases (EC 3.1.1.3) are triacylglycerol acylhydrolases that act on carboxylic ester bonds. They breakdown triacylglycerides into glycerides (diglycerides or monoglycerides), fatty acids and glycerol. Their mass ranges from 19 kDa for B. stratosphericus to 92 kDa for P. gessardii. Their optimum temperature and pH ranges from 15 °C to 80 °C for Acinetobacter...
