Tibeto-Burman populations of India provide an insight into the peopling of India and aid in understanding their genetic relationship with populations of East, South and Southeast Asia. The study investigates the genetic status of one such Tibeto-Burman group, Adi of Arunachal Pradesh based on 15 autosomal microsatellite markers. Further the study examines, based on 9 common microsatellite loci,...

In this paper, I present the results of an examination of the relational morphology in 76 Tibeto-Burman languages, primarily from the Bodic section of Tibeto-Burman. I will discuss a set of etymons used to express relational functions and show how the meanings of the reflexes of these etymons have evolved. I will then go on to discuss overall patterns of syncretism of relational markers in thes...

Alkaline protease producing microorganism Vibrio metschnikovii NG155, isolated from the soil samples of leather industry, having potential application in dehairing of animal skin was used in this study. To enhance the production of protease by this strain, various physical and nutritional factors were optimized using statistical methods like Plackett Burman and Response Surface Methodology. In ...

A number of nutritional factors influencing glucose oxidase (EC 1.1.3.4) production by Aspergillus niger NCIM 545 were studied. The synthesis of glucose oxidase by A. niger was investigated in two steps using submerged fermentation at 30±2 °C and 180 rpm for 96 h. Primarily, nutritional components were selected by onefactor-at-a-time method, and the significance of each component with respect t...

Response surface methodology was applied to optimize medium constituents for enzymatic production of L-cysteine from DL-2-amino-D-thiazoline-4-carboxylic acid (DL-ATC) by a novel Pseudomonas sp. Zjwp-14. With the Plackett-Burman design experiment, glycerol, DL-ATC, yeast extract, and pH were found to be the most powerful factors among the eight tested variables that influence intracellular enzy...

Marine actinomycetes were isolated from sediment samples collected from Pitchavaram mangrove ecosystem situated along the southeast coast of India. Maximum actinomycete population was noted in rhizosphere region. About 38% of the isolates produced L-asparaginase. One potential strain KUA106 produced higher level of enzyme using tryptone glucose yeast extract medium. Based on the studied phenoty...
