Horizontal transfer of antibiotic resistance in surface water of Dhaka City
(Brac University, 2019-05)
Horizontal gene transfer is one of the most widespread phenomenon by which bacteria evolve themselves in the environment. Such transfer is often reported to be responsible for spreading antibiotic resistance genes in nature. ...
Prospects of Biodegradable Polymer (Polyhydroxyalkanoate) production with wastewater
(Brac University, 2019-10)
Plastic production and accumulation have devastating environmental effects, and consequently, the world is in need to focus on environmentally friendly plastic substitutes such as sustainable biofuels, biomaterials, and ...

Quantisation of Black hole horizon area and multipartite entanglement of Black hole information subsystems
(Brac University, 2019-12)
We formulate a model consisting of multipartite entanglement that helps provide a
physical significance to the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy obtained after quantising
the horizon area of a black hole as proposed by Jacob ...
Isolation of antibiotic producing bacteria from soil and identification by 16S rRNA gene sequencing
(Brac University, 2019-09)
Antibiotic resistance has become a challenging issue in medical treatment process. A large portion the novel antibiotics are derived from soil microbes as soil being a primary source. Hence, to isolate novel antibiotic ...

Mutation patterns in the HBB gene determine the frequency and onset of blood transfusion in patients with beta-thalassemia major and HbE-beta thalassemia
(Brac University, 2019-11)
Thalassemia is a blood disorder passed down through families (inherited) in which the body
makes an abnormal form or inadequate amount of hemoglobin. Co-inheritance of beta-thalassemia
alleles from two parents results ...
