This short communication investigated biodiesel production from Euglena Sanguineamicroalgaeand custard appleusing nano CaO as a heterogeneous catalyst. Different solvents were used to extract the oil at a fixed speed, time, and temperature for the samples to estimate the optimized oil yield%. The catalyst was synthesized by sol gel method in nano-scale.

Gonorrhea, one of the sexually transmitted disease caused by a gram negative diplococcus bacteria . Rho protein is indispensable for bacterial viability due to its versatile functions in physiology apart from RNA dependent transcription termination. Based on conserved function and wider role in several cellular processes, inhibitors specifically targeting Rho proteins are largely in use these days to treat various bacterial infections.

In this study, we examined whether the presence of mother suppresses early-life stressful social experience (SSE)-induced anxiety-like behavior and impairment of short-term memory later in life. On postnatal day (PND)-5, mothers with pups were grouped as follows: (i) control; (ii) maternal separation (MS); (iii) pups with mother experience the presence of a stranger (M+P-ST); and (iv) maternal separated pups experience the presence of a stranger (MSP-ST). Individuals were subjected to light-dark box and spontaneous alternation from PND-29 to 32.

Numerous phytochemical compounds have recently been reported to stimulate osteogenesis. In this study, the bioavailability and osteogenic effects of chrysin, a natural flavonoid, were investigated. Chrysin was incorporated at different concentrations into biocomposite scaffolds containing carboxymethyl cellulose, chitosan, and nano-hydroxyapatite, through the freeze-drying method.
