Introduction Dietary fibres, also known as roughage, are a diverse group of the indigestible portion of the plant foods (i.e., cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, pectin and beta-glucans) which are resistant to digestion in the small intestine and require bacterial fermentation located in the large intestine. These enables smooth bowel movement, prevent constipation, hemorrhoids, cardiovascular diseases (CVD), type 2 diabetes and diverticular disease. Dietary fibres contain combination of resistant

Introduction Solid-lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) have recently gained significant attention as potential alternate colloidal drug delivery system over conventional dosage form. Isotretinoin, a derivative of retinoic acid (13-cis-retinoic acid), has been commonly used for the treatment of severe acne and other dermatological diseases1,2. However, it has obvious adverse side-effects by oral administration. The launched topical preparations such as cream also show systemic absorption and significant

Aspergillus oryzae A. oryzae, junto con la mayoría de los otros miembros de la familia Aspergillus, tiene una hifas que es hialino y septado, y cuneiforme, que termina en una vesícula de forma redonda. Las células portadores de esporas, o ascos, se producen dentro de la asco carpo, o el cuerpo fructífero. La principal enzima secretada por el hongo filamentoso se llama amilasa, que le da un sabor dulce a los alimentos que se fermenta en. Esta enzima es más eficiente a una temperatura de 35-40 grados

together to form organs. Organs collaborate to form organ systems. Organisms respond to different stimulus. A good example of this is that plants grow toward the light they also climb on walls and fences or respond to the touch. Even the smallest bacteria can move away or toward chemicals. Movement toward this is considered a good response, while movement away from this is considered a negative response. The single celled creatures or organisms multiply by duplicating their DNA. They then divide

more resistant to many different antibiotics. Global pandemic: Of the Purple Cocci Bacteria are living organisms and just like any other living organism, it wants to live and survive, even when it’s trying to be killed. It is this survival instinct that has lead certain bacterial strains to evolve and grow, to become a global pandemic. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus or MRSA is a group of bacteria leads to thousands of deaths every year. In order to understand MRSA, you first need

that is used on a daily basis in a molecular biological laboratory. This is based on the natural function of a plasmid: to transfer genetic information vital to the survival of the bacteria. Transformation is an example of horizontal gene transfer. There are three mechanisms for horizontal gene transfer in bacteria. Conjugation is the transfer of DNA from one cell to another through conjugation pili. Transduction is the transfer of genes between bacterial cells using a bacteriophage (a type of

Abstract Understanding evolution helps us solve biological problems that impact our lives. There are excellent examples of this in the field of medicine. To stay one step ahead of pathogenic diseases, researchers must understand the evolutionary patterns of disease-causing organisms. To control hereditary diseases in people, researchers study the evolutionary histories of the disease-causing genes. In these ways, knowledge of evolution can improve the quality of human life. Evolution played an

GROWTH OF BACTERIA INTRODUCTION Is there a difference in germ killing when using antibacterial soap or hand sanitizer? When using hand sanitizer or antibacterial soap one is more likely to have a lower bacteria count than the other. Other factors contribute to the less bacteria count like the amount of time one washes their hands and the amount of soap one uses. If two groups were to wash their hands one with hand sanitizer and the other with antibacterial soap then the group who washed their hands
