ISOLATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF L-ASPARAGINASE EXTRACELLULAR ENZYME PRODUCING BACTERIA FROM INDUSTRIAL SOIL SAMPLES
Industrial soil contains a variety of L-Asparaginase producing microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. Microorganisms can produce different types of enzymes which are frequently used in different types of industries for different purpose. In the present study, we focused on isolation of L-Asparaginase enzyme producing bacteria from industrial soil samples collected from different regions of Gwa...

ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY OF EUGENOL AGAINST HUMAN PATHOGENIC BACTERIA BY MINIMAL INHIBITORY CONCENTRATION, MINIMAL BACTERICIDAL CONCENTRATION AND DISC-DIFFUSION METHODS
Essential oils from plants have been reported to have antibacterial activity. Essential oil is a mixture of many chemicals, and one or more chemicals in essential oil may have antibacterial activity. In our laboratory, essential oil from the leaves of Ocimum sanctum L. was found to have antibacterial activity against 18 human bacteria. GC-MS analysis of the Ocimum sanctum essential oil revealed th...

A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF ELECTROPORATION IN MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY
When a high amplitude nanosecond electric field applied to a biological cell it disrupts the equilibrium of the phospholipid bilayer resulting in the permeability of the cell membrane to increase. This results in movement of extracellular material into the cell which otherwise cannot move inside the cell. This phenomenon is known as electroporation. In the initial years of research people concentr...
