Morphological and biochemical studies on some yeasts and fungi
The morphological and biochemical studies of the penicillin producing fungi are described; single spore isolations have been made, methods of assay of the antibiotic are described. An attempt is made to correlate the ... -
Mechanism of cycloheximide resistance in the fungus microsporum canis
Cycloheximide (CHI) is a eukaryotic protein synthesis inhibitor whose action has been implicated in all three steps of translation-initiation, elongation, and termination. It has been shown that CHI binds to the 60S ribosomal ... -
Characterization of mycobacteriophage 13 genome and its interaction with the host mycobacterium smegmatis
Mycobacteriophage 13 is one of the few known transducing phages of mycobacteria. For the past several years, our laboratory has been engaged in studying the interaction of this phage with its host, Mycobacterium smegmatis. ... -
Studies on methlation and primary structure of the transfer RNA of mycobacterium
Transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules are perhaps the smallest polynucleotides having profound biological functions within the cell. They serve as suitable systems to understand protein–nucleic acid interactions owing to the variety ... -
Studies on L-asparaginase from azotobater vinelandii and mycobacterium smegmatis
Abstract not available -
Differential regulation of homologous chromosomes in a mealybug : planococcus citri chromosomanal proteins and DNA
We have been interested in the regulatory events that initiate and maintain the inactivation of an entire set of chromosomes in the males of the mealybug Planococcus citri. This genetic system is nearly unique because an ... -
STUDIES ON) LARVICIDAL PROTEIN FROM Bacillus Sphaericus 1593
The use of biological agents is gaining prominence over conventional chemical methods for the control of vector mosquitoes. Two species of Bacilli have proved to be satisfactory as biocides with potential for exploitation ... -
Nitrate metabolism in yeasts studies on regulation and properties of nitrate reductase in Candida utilis. Ph.D. Thesis
Synopsis of the thesis entitled “NITRATE METABOLISM IN YEASTS: STUDIES ON REGULATION AND PROPERTIES OF NITRATE REDUCTASE IN CANDIDA UTILIS” submitted by V. P. Choudary Microbiology & Cell Biology Laboratory for the award ... -
Significance of multiple copies of initiator tRNA genes in Escherichia Coli
E. coli has four copies of initiator tRNA genes-the highest number known in any eubacterium. Among prototrophs, strains carrying four initiator tRNA genes have a growth advantage over strains carrying three initiator tRNA ... -
Mycobacterial DNA gyrase : biochemical characterisation and development of a novel gyrase inhibitor
Synopsis DNA gyrase is a unique topoisomerase, as it is the only enzyme capable of introducing negative supercoils into DNA. The enzyme has essential roles in cellular DNA transactions such as DNA replication, transcription, ... -
Generation and characterization of monoclonal antibodies to hemaggutinin/ humagglutinin-neuraminidase proteines of rinderpest and peste des petits ruminanats viruses: mapping of B-cell epitops and development of a sero- surveillance kit
Generation and Characterization of Monoclonal Antibodies to Hemagglutinin / Hemagglutinin Neuraminidase Proteins of Rinderpest and Peste des Petits Ruminants Viruses: Mapping of B Cell Epitopes and Development of a Sero ... -
Gyrase and its associated proteins
During transcription, the movement of RNA polymerase generates increasing torsional strain in the template DNA, resulting in positive supercoils ahead of the enzyme and negative supercoils behind it. Efficient progression ... -
Regulation of fibrion H gene expression in the posterior silk gland of Bombyx mori.
The larval silk glands of Bombyx mori have long served as a model system for investigating developmentally regulated, tissue and stage specific gene expression. The silk glands consist of a pair of long tubular organs ... -
Studies on the nonstructural proteins NS2B and NS3 of Japanese Encephalitis virus-Indian strain P20778
Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is a positive strand RNA virus belonging to the family Flaviviridae and genus Flavivirus. The genus includes more than 68 members, separated into groups based on serological relatedness. ... -

Synthesis and structural studies of self-complementary oligodeoxyribonucleotides
The thesis entitled “Synthesis and Structural Studies of Self Complementary Oligodeoxyribonucleotides” is aimed at understanding the role of sequence specific backbone conformation of DNA oligomers in protein–DNA interactions ...
