background: trypsin modulating oostatic factor (tmof) terminates trypsin biosynthesis in adult and larval mos­quito gut. it will inhibit the growth and development of mosquito larvae feeding on it resulting in death by starvation. the objective of this study is to determine the effective dose of pichia-tmof and the combination of pichia-tmof with bacillus thuringiensi s ( bt) as larvicide on ae...

This paper uplores a game-theoretic approach to automatic planning of sensor·based robotic manipulation programs. To win the game, the robot must provably attain a specified task swc. The robot moves by cboosing 1 control signal. and nature moves by cboosing a sensor signal. Planning is accomplished by searching lhe game O"ee.

Marine fungi are important sources of new metabolites including certain enzymes medical interest due to their enormous capacity adapt themselves extreme environments. Living in a highly competitive ecological niche, they produce unusual chemical moieties. biological resources green, abundant, renewable and aid economic development. The present study investigates the production L-Glutaminase whi...

This research was aimed at isolating and identifying common fungal pathogens invading sweet potato tubers. Tubers were collected from Choba Market, Port Harcourt in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers State. Fungal isolates morphologically identified. The Deoxyribonucleic acid the most isolates, SP-1 SP-2 molecularly characterized using Internal Transcribed Spacer 4 5 molecular markers. ...

Commercial surfactant products derived from animal lungs are used for the treatment of respiratory diseases in premature neonates. These products contain lipids and the hydrophobic surfactant proteins B and C, which help to lower the surface tension in the lungs. Surfactant products are less effective when pulmonary diseases involve inflammatory complications because two hydrophilic surfactant ...

The mature cDNA of endochitinase from Trichoderma viride sp. was optimised based on the codon bias of Pichia pastoris GS115 and synthesised by successive PCR; the sequence was then transformed into P. pastoris GS115 via electroporation. The transformant with the fastest growth rate on YPD plates containing 4 mg/mL G418 was screened and identified. This transformant produced 23.09 U/mL of the re...
