Subject: Asian Journal of Microbiology, Biotechnology and Environmental Sciences
Keywords: Siaoladenectomy, submandibular gland, sublingual gland
Abstract: The mouse submandibular gland is a rich source of various biologically active polypeptides. The polypeptides are also found in sublingual gland in smaller amount (Barka, 1980 and Sporn et al., 1982). To elucidate the functional significance of sublingual gland in absence of submandibular gland we have sialoadenectomised (removal of submandibular gland) the female mice of 20 days old and maintained under normal conditions in the departmental animal house upto the age of three months. There after protein content, amylase activity and histological study was carried out from sublingual gland of both sialoadenectomised and normal mice. The protein content and amylase activity was increased significantly in sublingual gland of sialoadenectomised mice as compared to the sublingual gland of normal mice. While histological study showed increase in secretory granules and length of secretory ducts in sublingual gland of sialoadenectomised mice as compared to normal mice. In sialoadenectomised mice sublingual gland shows rich glycoproteins in acini when stained with AB pH 2.5, while the acinin show less reactivity with AB pH 1 as compared to normal. Therefore the present data suggest that sublingual gland tries to compensate the functions of submandibular glands related to growth factors in absence of submandibular gland.

Keywords: Geochemical characteristic, rock weathering, hydrochemical facies, Gibbs diagram
Abstract: The present research work was carried out to study the geochemical processes controllling water composition and variations in concentration of major ions in the study area of river Damodar. The analytical findings were plotted in geochemical ternary diagrams to find out the variability in water quality over this hydro-geographic condition. The concentration of different parameters of Damodar river water range between pH (7.5-8.7), EC 9160-640 micros/cm), calcium (0.745-2.004 meql-1), magnesium (0.829-3.573 meql-1), bicarbonate (1.311-3.174 meql-1), ammonia (0.0 - 0.946 meql-1), sulphate (0.195 - 1.488 meql-1), sulphate (0.195-1.488 meql-1), phosphate (0.0-0.036 meql-1), nitrate (0.0- 0.024 meql-1), sodium (0.141-1.060 meql-1), potassium (0.059-0.248 meql-1), fluoride (0.019 - 0.052 meql-1). Chemical data of water samples of the study area point towards a rock-dominance zone, according to the variations in the ratios of Na+: (Na++ ca2+) as a function of TDS in the water chemistry diagrams. Anion diagram study relating to Ca, Mg and (Na + K) reveals Ca2+ and Mg2+ are the major anion in the study area. Ternary diagram relating to HCO3, SO4 and Cl reveals HCO3- is the major anion of Damodar river water. Weathering of rock-forming minerals and anthropogenic activities and coal-based industries are the major controlling factors for water chemistry in the study area.

Keywords: Food safety engineering, barrier technology, disinfection, microbial contamination
Abstract: The functional requirements, design, testing of food products, and finally the evaluation of products to check for overall efficiency, cost, reliability, and most importantly, safety are specified by food engineers. Food safety must be considered foremost as the overall engineering problem encountered in the food supply chain is dependent on it, and must be solved from a food safety engineering perspectivel The multi-diciplinary approach will involve certain engineering components related to advanced systems for re-contamination control. This paper emphasizes the need of food safety engineering perspective in order to produce high quality food products (minimally processes) that are both safe and secure.

Keywords: Vigna mungo, Catalase, stress condition, peroxisome, SDS-PAGE, catalase protein
Abstract: Catalase is the antioxidant heme containing redox enzyme present in all mammalian cells. It catalyses the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to water and oxygen. Catalase protects the cells from toxic compounds such as super oxide radical O2. Catalase activity was studied under different days, different photoperiod within a day, under in vitro condition on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium, under different stress conditions such as UV, water, salt and pesticide. The result suggests that stress induces the catalase activity upon to a certain limit after which it decreases. This decreased activity is due to intolerance of plant in stress condition. Peroxisomes were isolated from the plant sample and their activity was determined. SDS-PAGE technique was used in which a single band was formed indicating that the peroxisomes might be the catalase protein.

Abstract: A total of twelve isolates of Penicillium species isolated from different soil samples were screened for their ability to produce amylases. A selected strain, Penicillium chrysogenum (FGC/JNU201) revealed the high amylase activity in solid state culture. Different substrates and their combinations were screened for optimization of enzyme production. Individually groundnut oil cake, wheat bran and rice bran were found to be very good substrates for enzyme production where as the combinations of groundnut oil cake and rice bran in ratio of 1:2 exhibited higher enzyme titre. The enzyme amylase was found to be thermotolerant and active at wide range of pH and temperature.
