At present, its production has reached up to 65% of the enzyme market in the world and is continuously increasing. Alpha-amylase is produced by a variety of living organisms ranging from bacteria to plants and animals. The specific activity of α -amylase is dependent on various biochemical phenotype parameters such as substrate, pH, and temperature as well as metal ions requirements. Potato starch with a concentration of 5 mg/ml was found to be more enzyme-specific (34.02 IU/mg of protein) as substrate compared to other variety of starch. The enzyme was best active at pH 8.0 and incubation temperature of 37°C using Na 2+ as metal ions. The findings suggest that enzyme activity increases up to a certain concentration then decreases, structural properties also influence the enzyme activity. The optimum temperature and pH of enzyme activity are also dependent on the microbial strain used. Competition between the exogenous cations and the protein-associated cation decreases metalloenzyme activity. Therefore, this study was aimed to determine the specificity of isolated α -amylase by variety of substrate, pH, incubation temperature and metal ions by giving a crucial comparison between each of the parameter of the standard assay.","PeriodicalId":423079,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Biology & Biotechnology","volume":"102 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124705723","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hence, early detection of GC is highly crucial for improving prognosis. MicroRNA’s (miRNA’s) belong to a group of non-coding RNA which are ~18–25 nucleotides long and could regulate the target gene expression at posttranscriptional level. Many findings have reported that dysfunction of miRNA could modulate the key biological processes and that has been associated with number of inflammatory disease including GC. As miRNA expression was associated with GC progression such as proliferation, migration, invasion, and apoptosis, the detection of miRNA in blood, gastric juice, tissues, and urine could offer new potential biomarkers for GC and design the novel therapeutic targets for GC. This review focuses on the biogenesis, role of miRNA in GC progression and metastasis, recent advancement and challenges in using miRNA as potential biomarkers for GC. Thus the information on miRNA’s can serve as potential targets in early detection of GC to improve the survival rate and in the development of therapeutic targets.","PeriodicalId":423079,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Biology & Biotechnology","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133156417","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The process was carried at 25°C for 5 days, and the fungal biomass as well as cellulase activity was determined daily. The groundnut shell contains approximately 12.24% cellulose, 50.15% cellulose, and 33% lignin, on a dry basis. After 5 days of fermentation, the fungal biomass and cellulase activity lies in the range of 0.07–0.34 g and cellulase activity of of 0.06–0.12 filter paper unit FPU/ ml, respectively. A maximum biomass of 0.34 g was obtained from a mixed culture of Trichoderma sp. and tempeh yeast whereas a maximum cellulase activity of 0.12 FPU/ml from a mixed culture of Trichoderma sp . and tape yeast. The results demonstrate that cellulase activity produced by mixed cultures was higher value than produced by single cultures.

They attack the root of the seed before germination or seedling after germination resulting in huge deprivation in crop yield. In this scenario, it is crucial to control phytopathogenic fungi to ensure sustainable food production to the ever-increasing world population. The antifungal property of purified chitinase of Kurthia gibsonii Mb 126 was investigated by isolating fungi infected with seeds of various rice samples and then studying the effect of purified chitinase of K. gibsonii Mb 126 on these isolated fungi. The effect of K. gibsonii Mb 126 purified chitinase on the germination of rice seed infested with these isolated fungi was also investigated. Eight fungi ( Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus, Curvularia lunata, Fusarium moniliforme, Rhizopus oryzae, Trichoderma harzianum, Rhizoctonia solani , and Fusarium subglutinans ) were isolated and identified from the different rice varieties of Kerala, India, viz Aswathy (PTB 37), Jaya, Sabari (PTB 40), Ahalya, Onam, Makam, Triveni (PTB 38), Swarnaprabha, Kairali, Pavizham, and Ponni, The frequency of isolated fungi ranged from 46% to 100% (present in all the 20 samples). The isolated fungi C. lunata, A. flavus, R. solani , and A. niger were predominated. Seeds treated with the K. gibsonii Mb 126 chitinase enzyme had a strong germination response. K. gibsonii Mb 126 chitinase proved beneficial in eliminating seed-borne fungus, boosting seed germination percentage, and seedling vigor.

In the search for alternatives as well as adjuvants to combat antibiotic resistance, numerous commonly available weeds cited in Ayurvedic literature are an important avenue for studies. In this current study, an attempt to explore the ability of twenty such weeds against biofilms of P.aeruginosa was made. To get better insights into the mechanism of anti-biofilm activity of the hydroethanolic extracts, both in vitro (antioxidants and antibiofilm microtitre plate method) and in silico (molecular docking) approaches were tapped. The results indicate that extracts of Atibala ( Abutilon indicum )and its polyphenolics possess good inhibitory activity against P.aeruginosa biofilm.
