Isolation of wild-type yeasts from natural sources for bioethanol production, their characterization and the effect of mineral salts on ethanol productivity in molasses
(BRAC University, 2015-11)Ethanol, with the molecular formula of CH3CH2OH, is a highly useful hydrocarbon which is used extensively in major industrial and manufacturing processes. It is also used as a fuel, albeit on a much smaller scale. Ethanol ... -
Extraction of secondary metabolites, phytochemical screening and the analysis of antibacterial activity in Spirulina platensis
(BRAC University, 2015-10)Spirulina platenis is a multicellular and filamentous blue-green microalgae which is most well-known and broadly accessible. It develops in water, can be reaped and prepared effortlessly and has fundamentally high large ... -
In silico structural analysis, physicochemical characterization and homology modeling of Arabidopsis thaliana Na+/H+ exchanger 1 protein
(BRAC University, 2015-09)Climate changes have detrimental effects on the plants such as an increased susceptibility towards pathogens or ill health leading to food insecurity. This is eminently observed in developing countries such as Bangladesh. ... -
Extraction of secondary metabolites, phytochemical screening and the analysis of antibacterial activity in stevia rebaudiana
(BRAC University, 2015-09)Stevia rebaudiana is a plant of the Asteraceae family and native to Paraguay. Its sweetness and calorie free property has increased its demand commercially all over the world as a sugar substitute in food beverages and ... -
Studies on isolation of yeasts from natural sources for bioethanol production from vegetable peels and the role of cellulose degrading bacteria (Bacillus subtilis) on ethanol production
(BRAC University, 2015-08)The requirement of an alternative clean energy source is increasing with the elevating energy demand of modern age. Microbial production of bioethanol can replace the conventional fossil fuel with green energy. In this ... -
Isolation and study of the optimum growth conditions of diesel degrading bacteria from soil
(BRAC University, 2015-04)The rise in industrialization and globalization has made oil spills an environmental threat all over the world. Bioremediation can be considered as an effective aid to the clean-up process of spilled oil aside from expensive ... -
Isolation of Kerosene degrading bacteria from soli samples and determination of optimum growth conditions
(BRAC University, 2015-04)Oil spills are global catastrophes transpiring annually from minute to substantial amounts, threatening the lives of plants, animals and the health of human. Current physical and chemical management systems are very costly ... -
Isolation of Shiga toxin producing Escherichia coli 0157:H7 from street food and raw vegetables in Dhaka city
(BRAC University, 2015-04)E. coli O157:H7, a Shiga toxin producing microbe was first acknowledged as a virulent organism in 1982 during an analysis of an outbreak of haemorrhagic colitis associated with consumption of hamburgers from a fast food ... -
In vitro culture establishment from Cotyledon and Embryonic Axis Explants of two Bangladeshi Sunflower (Helianthus annus L.) varieties
(BRAC University, 2015-03)Sunflower is considered as source of cholesterol free edible oil. Because of cross pollinating nature of this plant, it is difficult to identify true breeding homozygous line, thus, breeding becomes intricate. Besides, ... -
IN VITRO culture establishment from hypocotyl and cotyledon explants of two Bangladeshi sunflower (Helianthus annuus L. ) varieties
(BRAC University, 2015-03)Sunflower (Helianthus annuus.L) is the world’s second most important oilseed crop. Plant tissue culture and gene transformation are the important tools for improvement of this crop. The purposes of this study are to optimize ... -
Study of IN VITRO regeneration and transformation parameters for the development of transgenic Tomato (Solanum Lycopersicum L.)
(BRAC University, 2014-10)Investigation was carried out to develop an in vitro regeneration protocol using three locally grown farmer popular tomato varieties namely BARI Tomato 2, BARI Tomato 9 and Bahar. Later Agrobacterium mediated transformation ... -
Determination of an efficient regeration protocol for Bangladeshi peanut varieties (Arachis hypogaea L.)
(BRAC University, 2014-10)Peanut is an economically important oilseed crop with high nutrition value. This plant is imposing several yield constrains like biotic and abiotic stresses. However, fungal diseases are mostly seen. Like other legumes, ... -
Analysis of factors influencing successful Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation in two Bangladeshi peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) varieties BINA Chinabadam-2 and BINA Chinabadam-6 using embryonic leaflet explant
(BRAC University, 2014-03)Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is an important crop both for its nutritional value and for its oil content in the seeds. But this economically important crop is susceptible to both biotic and abiotic factors that hamper its ... -
Analysis of factors influencing successful Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation in two different explants of peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) variety BINA Chinabadam-2
(BRAC University, 2014-03)Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is a nutritious oil-seed crop. It has low productivity due to its susceptibility towards many biotic and abiotic factors. It has incompatibility towards conventional breeding techniques, thus ... -
