Background: A hydrolytic enzyme called protease from microbial sources has expansive applications in leather as well as tannery industries and thus leaves no choice but to discover a potential candidate for efficient yield of protease with eccentric characteristics.

Methods And Results: In the current study, using skim milk agar medium, three bacterial strains (Pro SS14, Pro NTL1, Pro SM) were identified for protease production out of thirty tannery waste samples. The bacterial isolates were identified through morphological, biochemical and molecular basis and the highest protease producer (134 U/mL) having the paramount protein content (8.

With priority given to various-sized samples of market-available Hilsa (Tenualosa ilisha), human health consequences of trace metals along with total essential acids, including the fatty acid (FA) and amino acid (AA) profile were measured and compared to different size groups (G I, G II, and G III) using chemometric approaches. Essential amino acids were lower than nonessential amino acids. The G III contained the highest (97.

The interaction between an antibiotic drug (cefixime trihydrate (CMT)) and a cationic surfactant (tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide (TTAB)) was examined in the presence of both ionic and non-ionic hydrotropes (HTs) over the temperature range of 300.55 to 320.55 K.

Pumpkin () is a widely grown vegetable in Bangladesh and is known as the sole supplier of various nutrients. Many studies evidence the nutritional value of flesh and seed while peel, flower, and leaves were reported scarcely with limited information. Therefore, the study aimed to investigate the nutritional composition and antioxidant properties of flesh, peel, seed, leaves, and flowers of .

We studied the interactions of neurotrophin-3 (NT3) with brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2), and their effects on tyrosine kinase C (TrkC) expression during cochlear ganglion development. Otocysts were explanted from white leghorn chicken embryos at stages when the neuronal precursors normally start to migrate. Cultures were fed with various combinations of NT3, BDNF, and FGF-2.
