Novel cyclic shifting of temperature strategy for simultaneous saccharification and fermentation for lignocellulosic bioethanol production.

In the current study, a novel strategy using cyclic shifting of temperature was developed for simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) for bioethanol production from rice straw. The in-situ cellulase production, saccharification and fermentation was carried out using P. janthinellum and S.

Interleukin gene polymorphisms in chronic periodontitis: A case-control study in the Indian population.

Objective: The aim of the present study was to investigate the possible association between seven Interleukin (IL) gene polymorphisms and their interaction with the chronic inflammatory oral disease, chronic periodontitis in Indian population.

Design: A total of 357 study subjects (157 with chronic periodontitis and 200 with healthy control) were genotyped for IL1A -889C/T (rs1800587), IL1B -31C/T (rs1143627), IL1B -511A/G (rs16944), IL1B + 3954C/T (rs1143634), IL2 -330 T/G (rs2069762), IL4 -33C/T (rs2070874), IL6 -597 G/A (rs1800797), IL8 -251A/T (rs4073), IL10 -819C/T (rs1800871), IL10 -592A/C (rs1800872) and IL13 -1111C/T (rs1800925). Statistical analysis was performed using the statistical software package SPSS v16.
