Micropropagation of Miq and Comparative Antioxidant Properties of Ethanolic Extracts of the Field-Grown Plant, In Vitro Propagated and In Vitro-Derived Callus.

In this study, an efficient micropropagation protocol was developed for and the antioxidant properties of field-grown plant, in vitroderived greenhouse-grown plant and in vitro-derived callus extracts were compared. The seeds tested using tetrazolium chloride salt exhibited 89% viability. Due to poor germination capacity of seeds, the seeds were treated with gibberellic acid (GA) or sulfuric acid (HSO).

Subsurface Endospore-Forming Bacteria Possess Bio-Sealant Properties.

Concrete is a strong and fairly inexpensive building substance, but has several disadvantages like cracking that allows corrosion, thus reducing its lifespan. To mitigate these complications, long-lasting microbial self-healing cement is an alternative that is eco-friendly and also actively repairs cracks. The present paper describes the detailed experimental investigation on compressive strength of cement mortars, mixed with six alkaliphilic bacteria, isolated from subsurface mica mines of high alkalinity.

Analysis of Chemical Signatures of Alkaliphiles using Fatty Acid Methyl Ester Analysis.

Background: Fatty acids occur in nearly all living organisms as the important predominant constituents of lipids. While all fatty acids have essentially the same chemical nature, they are an extremely diverse group of compounds.

Materials And Methods: To test the hypothesis, fatty acids of alkaliphiles isolates, SVUNM4, SVUNM8, SVUNM9, and SVUNM11, were characterized compared using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis.

Sequence analysis and homology modeling of peroxidase from Medicago sativa.

Plant peroxidases are one of the most extensively studied group of enzymes which find applications in the environment, health, pharmaceutical, chemical and biotechnological processes. Class III secretary peroxidase from alfalfa (Medicago sativa) has been characterized using bioinformatics approach Physiochemical properties and topology of alfalfa peroxidase were compared with that of soybean and horseradish peroxidase, two most popular commercially available peroxidase preparations. Lower value of instability index as predicted by ProtParam and presence of extra disulphide linkages as predicted by Cys_REC suggested alfalfa peroxidase to be more stable than either of the commercial preparations.
