Effect of growth regulators on shoot induction and plant regeneration in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.)
(BRAC University, 2011-11)Tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum Miller) is one of the most important winter vegetable crops in Bangladesh. To meet the increasing demand of tomato in Bangladesh, it is necessary to develop new varieties adapted to various ... -
Characterization of an ethanol producing yeast isolate and optimization of ethanol fermentation
(BRAC University, 2011-11)Bioethanol or biofuel as an alternative to fossil fuels has been expanded in the last few decades in the whole world. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is the choice of organism for ethanol production. Characterization of an ... -
Comparison of memory B-Cell immune responses among different age groups after oral cholera vaccination
(BRAC University, 2011-12)Infection with Nbrio cholerae Olcauses dehydrating diarrhea, although it is now treatable disease with low case-fatality in settings with appropriate medical care . However, cholera continues to impose considerable ... -
Development of Immune response in different age groups of children from Birth to 2 years of age
(BRAC University, 2011-12)Human neonates are markedly more susceptible to infection than are older children or adults. This increased susceptibility is generally believed to be due to immaturity of the immune system to combat pathogens in both ... -
Isolation, identification and characterization of Jute Genomic LTR retrotransposon sequences
(BRAC University, 2012-01)Long Terminal Repeat (LTR) retrotransposons make up a significant part of eukaryotic genomes and play an important role in plant genome evolution. Jute is an important fiber crop, and the Jute genome, consisting of 1,250 ... -
Establishment of in vitro regeneration and transformation protocol to develop salinity stress tolerant tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Miller)
(BRAC Univeristy, 2012-12)Tomato (Lycopersiconesculentum Miller), a nutritious plant, can be substituted to overcome malnutrition and offers much higher income for the farmers in Bangladesh because of its high demand throughout the year. However, ... -
Isolation and characterization of escherichia coli from raw vegetables
(BRAC University, 2013-10)Escherichia coli is a genetically heterogeneous group of bacteria whose members are typically nonpathogens that are a part of the normal microflora of the intestinal tract of humans and animal. However, some strains have ... -
Isolation and characterization of Saccharomyces cerevisiae for the production of ethanol from organic sources
(BRAC University, 2013-10-07)Microbial production of ethanol is a very popular concept in respect of alleviating energy demand nowadays. In this regard, two fermenting strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae were isolated from date-juice and grapes and ... -
Temperature stability study of killed, bivalent, oral cholera caccine, shanchol in Bangladeshi adult participants

Isolation and characterization of yeast for bioethanol production, using sugarcane molasses
(BRAC University, 2014-03)In view of the anticipated shortage of the traditional supplies of fossil fuels there is a great deal of interest in the production of ethanol as an alternative biofuel in recent years. The present study describes the ... -
Identification of synchronized role of transcription factors, genes and enzymes in Arabidopsis thaliana under four Abiotic stress responsive pathways
(BRAC University, 2014-03)DNA microarray databases are widely used tool to predict and identify functional genomics and gene expression. This plant genomic recourse can solve various biological questions related to biotic and abiotic stresses at ... -
Study on SOD1 GENE +35A>C polymorphism in impaired glucose regulation patients of Bangladeshi origin
(BRAC University, 2014-07)Superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1), located at the cytosol has been postulated to represent between 50%-80% of the total SOD activity. The SOD gene is located at 21q22.1. Polymorphisms in the genes encoding these enzymes found ... -

Immune response of oral cholera vaccine, Shanchol in Bangladeshi recipients
(BRAC University, 2014-07)Cholera, an acute and severe dehydrating diarrheal disease caused by Vibrio cholerae O1 remains a major public health concern which has significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. Several efforts have been made to develop ... -
Optimization of immunodot blot assay for diagnosis of Typhoid and Paratyphoid fever using the TPTest for comparison
(BRAC University, 2014-07)Typhoid and paratyphoid (enteric) fever are responsible for morbidity and mortality worldwide. Bangladesh is an endemic zone of enteric fever where sanitation and hygienic conditions are poor. Rapid, accurate diagnosis ... -
Comparison of Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) specific IgA and IgG avidity maturation between Vivotif Vaccinees and naturally infected enteric patients in Bangladesh
(BRAC University, 2014-08)Enteric fever, primarily caused by Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi and Paratyphi, is a potentially life-threatening systemic disease. Characterized by fever, malaise and diffused abdominal pain, it can lead to delirium, ... -
Surveillance of low pathogenic avian influenza in Dhaka District
(BRAC University, 2014-08)This present research was under taken with a view to investigate the epidemiological and molecular study of Low pathogenic Avian Influenza (LPAI). For this purpose samples were collected from 800 clinically healthy birds ... -
Optimization of alkaline protease production by Bacillus licheniformis MZK05M9 in batch culture using response surface methodology
(BRAC University, 2014-09)Bacterial alkaline protease has got its particular eco friendly technical applications in leather processing, detergent and feathers digestion to feed in Bangladesh. The present study is aimed at the optimization of major ... -
Development of a cost effective medium for enhanced production of Bacillus thuringiensis δ-endotoxin
(BRAC University, 2014-10)The control of pest populations by using bacteria as insect pathogens has been an attractive alternative to the application of chemical pesticides. As chemicals cause damage to the environment, biological control is ... -
Evaluation of helicobacter pyloristool antigen detection test
(BRAC University, 2014-11)Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a human pathogen causing chronic gastritis, gastric and duodenal ulcer, gastric carcinoma and dyspepsia. The diagnosis of H. pylori is an essential element in the management of these ...
