Polysaccharide

Scientist have recently discovered an enzyme that converts organic waste such as plant stems, leaves, paper, wood chips, etc into a biofuel. The enzyme that was recently discovered encourages the oxidation of polysaccharides found within the biofuels, and as the polysaccharides are oxidized and broken up, an energy can be harnessed from this and converted to a useable fuel. This is an innovative idea as the enzymes used are not consumed in the process of creating the biofuel. To further that…

overcome the resistant strain of Vibrio parahaemolyticus in experimentally infected mice [127]. Phages can lyse bacteria in the supurrative wounds, mucous membrane and biofilm which are antibiotics resistant [128-132]. Only one dose of anti-K1 polysaccharide capsule phage was as effective as numerous injections of streptomycin in treating a highly virulent lethal dose of E. coli strain having…

running nose, watery eyes, cough and cold in infants is not desirable. What is Pneumococcal Vaccine? Pneumococcal infections are caused by pneumococcus bacteria that are prevented by pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) and the pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23). This bacterium is highly contagious and spreads from a person-to-person contact. It gives rise to serious infections like pneumonia, blood infections and bacterial meningitis. These vaccines don’t only prevent but also…

Meningitis is a bacteria or infection that causes the meninges to swell. Meninges are three membranes that are call; the Dura mater, Arachnoid, and Pia mater. These membrane layers are to protect and cover the brain and spinal cord. The meningitis infection or bacteria would seek through the bloodstream to the brain causing inflammation. Meningitis can also occur by ear infection and sinus infection. Meningitis can affect in all different types of ages, but can most commonly affect one certain…

Helicobacter pylori are spiral and rod-shaped Gram-negative bacteria [1] that colonize the gastric mucosa of about half of the world’s population [2]. This bacterium has been associated with several gastric diseases such as chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer and gastric cancer [3]. Contamination is usually acquired in childhood [4,5], probably by ingesting food or water contaminated with fecal matter [6,7], and, once established, H. pylori has no significant bacterial competitors [8]. In order to…

Probiotic species Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis Our large intestine is an advanced ecosystem, where thousands of bacteria proliferate. these Bateria are helpful in absorption of non digested nutrients from the food example starch, polysaccharides, sugars etc. Bifidobacteria is gram-positive, anaerobic and rod-shaped bacteria, that can be esily found in the large intestines of humans and animals (mammals). Bifidobacterium animalis Is a type of the species, which act as probiotic…

Metabolism is a term used to describe all the chemical reactions that take place in your body through the break down of molecules to create energy and the synthesis of molecules. Metabolism is closely related to the food and nutrients a person consumes. In people who are obese, and whose diet is imbalanced the gut microbiota composition is different and can change in response to body weight (10). Bacteriodetes levels have been seen to increase when weight is reduced (11). Bacteriodetes are a…

Flavors, for example, pepper, were so exceedingly esteemed because they camouflaged the essence of decaying, or ruined meat. The dynamic fixing and additionally the purpose behind the hot taste of pepper is Piperine. The state of the pipeline atom can fit into a protein on the torment nerve endings of our mouth mouths which clarifies the hot taste of pepper that such substantial numbers of have delighted in. In like manner, the dynamic fixing in ginger is Zingerone (C11H14O). Zingerone is the…

5.4. Electrosensitive hydrogels Hydrogel swells in response to an electrical stimulus with a mechanism very similar to pH, experiences shrinkage, and bending. The major difference between electrical and pH stimulations is that the electric field moves mobile ions in order to regulate an ion concentration gradient through the hydrogel and the solution [54,55]. Polymeric networks containing ionizable groups can have important electrical behavior under an electric field. The electrosensitive…

encoding for protease RgpB (ArgX protease and a key P. gingivalis virulence factor), F subunit of the enzyme alkyl hydroperoxide reductase (needed to provide bacterial adaptation to the oxygen stress) and ferritin, while the gene encoding for a polysaccharide biosynthesis-related protein was among the down-regulated genes [29]. The results suggest two likely mechanisms of catecholamine activity on P. gingivalis and possibly other anaerobic species: an increase in the expression of some virulence…
