Isolation and characterization of Bacteriophages from surface water specific for Vibrio Cholerae
(Brac University, 2020-01)
The severe diarrheal disease cholera is caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholera. Toxigenic Vibrio cholerae strains belonging to O1 and O139 serogroups are the causative agents of epidemic and pandemic cholera. The Vibrio ...
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 ...

A study on the microbial status of consumable fruit juices in Dhaka city and the comparative effects of preservatives on developing antibiotic resistance
(Brac University, 2020-01)
This dissertation aims to isolate and identify the various viable bacteria from packaged fruit juices, which is manufactured inside Bangladesh and also abroad. The study focuses on the bacterial morphology and growth ...
Influence of heat shock and osmotic stresses on the growth and viability of Candida shehatae var shehatae and explore its probiotic potentiality
(Brac University, 2020-01)
Live microorganisms with health benefits termed as probiotics, commercialized in the market to provide the health benefits to host. However, most probiotics are bacteria but very recently Saccharomyces boulardii, a yeast ...
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 ...
