Isolation of bacteriophage with antimicrobial activity against Shigella Dysenteriae from sewage sample
(BRAC University, 2019-10)Shigellosis infection, caused by a genus of medically important bacteria called Shigella, results in diarrhea and other painful manifestations in humans. Annually, an estimated 74,000 to 600,000 people die of Shigella ... -
Isolation of Bacteriophages from surface water for some distinct bacterias and their characterization as potential biocontrol agents
(Brac University, 2020-12)E. coli of many different kinds, most of which are part of the intestine's normal flora and are thought to be comparatively harmless. However, some strains have developed pathogenicity systems, which means they can cause ... -
Isolation of bacteriophages from surface waters specific for Shigella dysenteriae and their characterization as potential biocontrol agents
(Brac University, 2019-07)Shigella is a low-infectious dose pathogen that can cause disease in healthy people. It causes a range of diseases from mild watery diarrhea to severe dysentery (shigellosis). The primary objective of this project was to ... -
Isolation of cellulolytic bacteria from soil and identification by 16S rRNA gene sequencing
(BRAC University, 2016-06)Cellulases have an escalating demand in many industries as they hold extreme potency for converting the most abundant lignocellulosic material into renewable and sustainable energy, chemicals, fuels and materials. Hence, ... -
Isolation of cellulolytic bacteria from soil sample and production of cellulase and its purification
(BRAC Univeristy, 2018-03)The cellulase producing bacteria were isolated from cow dung and characterized by morphological and biochemical analysis. Hence, studies pursue to unfold a novel cellulase that can overcome existing challenges in biorefinery, ... -
