Recurrent neural network based prediction of number of COVID-19 cases in India.

COVID-19 has become the most devastating disease of the current century and is pandemic. As per WHO report, there are globally 31,174,627 confirmed cases including 962,613 deaths as of 22 September,2020. The disease is spreading through outbreaks despite the availability of latest technologies for treatment of patients.

Production of xylooligosaccharides in SSF by Bacillus subtilis KCX006 producing β-xylosidase-free endo-xylanase and multiple xylan debranching enzymes.

Xylanase and xylooligosaccharides (XOS) are employed in food and feed industries. Though xylanase production from lignocellulosic materials (LCMs) by solid-state fermentation (SSF) is well known, the XOS formed during growth is not recovered due to its conversion to xylose by β-xylosidase and subsequent bacterial metabolism. A new strain, Bacillus subtilis KCX006, was exceptionally found to synthesize β-xylosidase-free endo-xylanase and multiple xylan debranching enzymes constitutively in the presence of LCMs.
