Exploration of potential yeast (Candida maltosa) from mozzarella cheese and its prospect for probiotic activity
(Brac University, 2020-01)To be a good probiotic any bacteria or yeast need to fulfill some requirements. There are some tests need to be conducted both in-vitro and in-vivo. Probiotics are living organisms which administered in adequate amounts ... -
Ethanol production from kitchen waste by wild type yeast isolated from natural sources
(Brac University, 2020-02)It is time we think about changing to alternate fuel and make energy production procedures greener. Bioethanol production by microbes is one step towards it. In this study, yeast from easily available food sources was ... -
Isolation, screening and production of cellulase from Bacteria
(Brac University, 2019-12)Cellulase finds uses as raw material in various industries. The current sources of cellulase are highly expensive. However, using bacteria as cellulase producers can bring the cost down and make our industries ... -
Safety Assessment of Citrobacter freundii Bacteriophages for Use in Phage Therapy in the Face of Antibiotic Resistance

Molecular assessment of bacteriophage genome as a potential therapeutic agent in treating multi-drug resistant bacterial infection
(Brac University, 2019-12)Bacteriophage therapy sheds a fresh light upon the critical growth of antibiotic resistance. Antimicrobial resistance, one of the major public health concerns, requires a novel therapeutic strategy to be optimized. Phage ... -
Detection of antibiotic resistance spectrum and resistance genes for aminoglycoside, macrolide, and β-lactam antibiotics using wound swab samples
(Brac University, 2020-01)Antibiotic resistance has become a global health problem with a decrease in efficacy in treating common infections, resulting in increased sufferings, duration of hospital stay and economic burden. Infections in the wound ... -
A two loop test of Matrix Big Bang Model
(Brac University, 2020-06)In this thesis we expand the effective action for the Matrix Big Bang presented in [9, 10] and indicate the interaction terms. Then we compute the two loop effective potential of this Matrix Big Bang model. We show that ... -
Effect of D122N mutation in BAK1 on structural integrity of protein complex consisting FLS2, flg22 and BAK1 ectodomain- a molecular dynamics study”
