Abstract: Background: Probiotics are live microbial food constituents that affect the microflora and provide health benefits to the host when consumed in sufficient quantities. Laphet (Myanmar's traditional fermented tea leaves) is one of the most consumed daily snack throughtout Myanmar and contains Latic Acid Bacteria (LAB) which play an important role in probiotics. The aim of this study was to use the catalase assay and the type of fermentation to assess the features and biochemical properties of LAB. Materials and Methods: Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were identified using particular media, especially MRS Agar, and the antimicrobial activity was tested using test bacteria Escherichia coli O157, Staphylococcus aureus. Results: The study's findings were as follows: The result of the catalase......

Abstract: Lignocellulose is a renewable resource or organic matter. It consists of three types of polymers viz., cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin that are strongly intermeshed and chemically bonded by non-covalent forces and by covalent cross-linkage. Many fungi are capable of degrading cellulose and hemicelluloses and utilize as chief carbon and energy sources. However, some filamentous fungi have evolved with their ability to degrade lignin. These are known as white-rot fungi, which possess the unique ability to degrade lignin into CO2. The Lignocellulosic material is composed of cellulose, hemicelluloses, pectin and lignin. Cellulose is a polysaccharide composed of linear glucan chains that are linked together by β-1, 4-glycosidic linkages with cellobiose residues as the repeating units......

Abstract: Sugarcane Bagasse is fibrous structure obtained by crushing the sugarcane stem and extracting juice. It is used in the production of enzymes, amino acids, drugs, ethanol and single cell protein. Sugarcane Bagasse is considered as a pure waste material which can be used to extract cellulose and nanocellulose particles. Cellulose is a linear polysaccharide consisting of β-D-glucose chains joined together by β-1, 4-glycosidic linkages with cellobiose residues as the repeating unit at different degree of polymerization. In the present investigation......

Abstract: Background:In this work, a practical activity was developed, including the construction of graphs, evaluating the power or the buffering capacity of a buffer solution. This concept, although it is presented in several Undergraduate Courses, is considered very abstract and difficult to assimilate by most students. Thus, it is expected that the activity will be a motivating factor in the teaching-learning process of chemical equilibrium, and in turn buffer solution. It was also possible to review the importance of a buffer solution, using blood tissue as the main example.Materials and Methods: To visualize the buffering power of the buffer solution, successive aliquots of acidic or alkaline solutions......

Abstract: Nanoparticles have a bigger surface area to volume ratio than larger particles do because their size is so much smaller. This is because their size is so much smaller. When it comes to the catalytic activity of AgNPs, as well as other factors associated to catalysis, such as their antibacterial activity, the specific surface area of the AgNPs is of the utmost importance. Traditional forms of medicine have made use of several plants for treatment for a very long time. The preservation of traditional cultures, the care of the community's health, the discovery of new medicines, and the protection of biodiversity can all benefit from the collection of ethno-botanical data on medicinal plants.....

Abstract: For biochemical research, various Withania coagulans and Withania somnifera plant sections from the Solanaceae family were used. Although they are mainly regarded as dangerous plants and only occasionally utilized in Pakistani folk medicine, these are wild plants. The yield of menthol extracted from the roots, stems, and leaves of both plants was also calculated. W. coagulans leaves had a higher extract yield percentage (7.6%) than the stem (6.3%) or root (6.3%). All portions of W. coagulans had a higher percent extract yield than the same parts.....

Abstract: The goal of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of Trigonella foenum-graecum extracts against Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) when coupled with antibiotics. Alkaloids, phenols, tannins, flavonoids, and saponins were all found, according to the phytochemical qualitative analysis. The colony suspension method was used to standardize the MRSA strain for the study of the antibiotic susceptibility. The suspensions had a concentration of 1.5 106 CFU/mL because they matched the 0.5 McFarland criteria. Under the guidelines of the Kirby-Bauer test, antimicrobial susceptibility tests were performed on Mueller Hinton agar using both the

Abstract: Antibiotics and synthetic medications that have major side effects are not without their drawbacks, but medicinal plants are a rich source of potentially beneficial phytochemical substances. The waste materials from the fruits, Punica granatum peel and Vitis vinifera seeds, were extracted in the current study using ethanol as the solvent. The antibacterial potential and phytochemical content of the ethanolic extract of both fruit components were examined. A qualitative phytochemical examination of the chosen extracts revealed the presence of powerful bioactive components as polyphenols, terpenoids, flavonoids, tannins, alkaloids, cardiac glycosides, carbohydrates....

Abstract: Organisms produce a modest number of highly conserved heat shock proteins in response to environmental stress. The development of thermotolerance is closely tied to the synthesis of these proteins in a wide range of organisms, including bacteria, plants, invertebrates, and vertebrates. The conclusion that heat shock proteins are necessary for stress tolerance and that the principal heat shock protein in plants has no impact on normal growth or physiology is thus directly supported by these data. The results also suggest that an organism's natural environment may have an impact on whether or not it exhibits a heat shock response.
