New Documentary of Acid-Stable Glutaminase Production by an Efficient Acidophilic Aspergillus niger CPGM 1439

Nagwa M. Sidkey, Mostafa M. Abo Elsoud, Wessam Elnemr & Mai M. Elhateir · Asian Journal of Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering · 2019

Samples for isolation were taken from natural spoiled salted foods. All acidophilic isolates were subjected under comparison for finding the most potent glutaminase producing one. Optimization of the produced enzyme was done in the light of seven environmental and five nutritiona...

Comparative Analysis of Sexual Dimorphic Ecdysteroid Regulating Mblk & E74 Gene Expression Levels by Real Time PCR from Galleria mellonella

S. Pooja Sri, S. Sribal, S. Ramki & I. Sathik Shajahan · Asian Journal of Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering · 2019

The Greater wax moth Galleria mellonella belongs to the family of Pyralidae which cause great damage to the honey bee yield worldwide, a major insect model. The honey bee cultivation places are most habitat of this insect. Most the organisms of insects rely on their olfactory sys...

Control of the MAOA-L Allele Expression through Genetic Manipulation Techniques Using CRISPR/Cas9 System

Martin L. Nelwan · Asian Journal of Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering · 2018

Antisocial behaviour is antagonism behaviour. It is a behavioural disorder inherited according to X-linked chromosome inheritance pattern. This disorder comes from mutations in the MAOA gene. One of the mutations in this gene triggers the MAOA-L allele activity. The MAOA-L allele...

Variability and Molecular Characterization of Ten Onion Genotypes

A. M. A. Abo-Dahab, M. A. H. Megahed & Sara E. I. Eldessouky · Asian Journal of Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering · 2018

Aim: Releasing new varieties mainly depend on evaluation the genotypes in the breeding programs. So, the objectives of this work were evaluating ten Egyptian onion genotypes for producing onion bulbs from sets, assessing the magnitude of genetic variability, heritability and gene...

The Role of Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR) in Recognition of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in Lung Epithelial Cells

Ekong, Mercy Okon, Tarh, Jacqueline Ebob & Iroegbu, Christian Ukwuoma · Asian Journal of Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering · 2018

Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Regulator (CFTR) plays an important role in chloride and thiocyanate ion homeostasis in human epithelial surfaces. Deletion of phenylalanine at position 508 (Δ508) leads to cystic fibrosis and dysregulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Pseudomonas...

Genetic Improvement of Yield and Fruit Traits in Snake Cucumber (Cucumis melo var. flexuosus L.) by Individual Selection

Mohamed Youssef Abed · Asian Journal of Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering · 2018

This investigation was undertaken during 2013-2016 to develop new and superior snake cucumber cultivars and to evaluate the efficiency of individual selection to improve yield in traditional snake cucumber populations. Moreover, genetic behaviour of variability was investigated....

Correlation and Distribution of Xenobiotics Genes and Metabolic Activities with Level of Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon in Soil, Sediment and Estuary Water in the Niger Delta Region of Nigeria

U. O. Edet & S. P. Antai · Asian Journal of Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering · 2018

In the Niger Delta region of Nigeria, the major anthropogenic source of xenobiotics is petroleum based hydrocarbons. Studies suggest that hydrocarbon degradation genes with potential for bioremediation have a greater abundance at equatorial biomes. Therefore, the primary aim of t...
