Enteric Viruses

Image
Introduction : Enteric viruses are a group of viruses that primarily infect the human gastrointestinal (GI) tract. These viruses are transmitted through the fecal-oral route, either via contaminated food, water, or direct contact with infected individuals or surfaces. The most common symptoms of enteric viral infections include diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and dehydration. Enteric viruses are particularly harmful to young children, the elderly, and immunocompromised individuals, and the people of area where poor sanitation and water quality which cause cases of acute gastroenteritis and can also lead to chronic conditions in severe cases. Image:1 - Virus Types of Enteric Viruses: 1. Rotavirus The leading cause of severe diarrhea and vomiting in infants and young children. Transmission : Primarily through contaminated water, food, and surfaces, but person-to-person contact is also possible. Symptoms : Sudden onset of vomiting, watery diarrhea, and fever, which can lea...

Bioenzymes 🦠🧫

Image
What are Bioenzymes? Bio enzymes are an organic solutions which are obtained by fermentation of fruit/vegetable peels, jaggery & water. Basically, These are perfectly natural cleaning solution to clean your home. They are also called Garbage Enzyme, Fruit Enzyme, Kitchen Waste Enzyme, and Fermented Fruit Juice. Since the process of making the Bio Enzyme is similar to the vinegar-making process, we can also call them natural cleaning vinegar. So, a bio enzyme is produced by Bacteria 🙂 When you hear the word “BACTERIA,” you would normally think of some kind of disease or danger, but some bacteria are beneficial to human health and are helpful for cleaning. They are everywhere, in the soil, dust particles, and even the human body!   There are two types of bacteria, pathogenic (the harmful bacteria) and non-pathogenic (the good bacteria). Bio-enzymes use good bacteria to digest stains, soils & malodours.  How do the Bacteria do that? ...

All About ADITYA L1 Mission of ISRO

ADITYA L1 Mission Of ISRO 🔥 The SUN Our Sun is the nearest star and the largest object in the solar system. The estimated age of sun is about 4.5 billion years. It is a hot glowing ball of hydrogen and helium gases. The distance to the sun from the earth is about 150 million kilometres, and is the source of energy for our solar system. Without the solar energy the life on earth, as we know, can not exist. The gravity of the sun holds all the objects of the solar system together. At the central region of the sun, known as ‘core’, the temperature can reach as high as 15 million degree Celsius. At this temperature, a process called nuclear fusion takes place in the core which powers the sun. The visible surface of the sun known as photosphere is relatively cool and has temperature of about 5,500°C. Why Study Sun? The sun is the nearest star and therefore can be studied in much more detail as compared to other stars. By studying the sun we can learn much more about stars in o...

Next Generation Sequencing (NGS)

Image
Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS):- It is also known as high-throughput sequencing, is a revolutionary technology that has transformed the field of genomics. It enables scientists to rapidly and cost-effectively sequence large amounts of DNA or RNA, providing valuable insights into the genetic makeup of various organisms. NGS has had a profound impact on various disciplines, including biomedical research, personalized medicine, agriculture, and environmental studies. Let's delve into its history, origin, introduction, method of working, benefits, harms, major discoveries using it, and some of the challenges associated with NGS. History and Origin :- The origins of sequencing can be traced back to the 1970s when Frederick Sanger developed the first DNA sequencing method (known as Sanger sequencing). This method involved the chain-termination technique and was the gold standard for many years, but it was labor-intensive, time-consuming, and expensive. The term "next-g...

Biodiesel

Biodiesel Introduction : In the pursuit of sustainable and eco-friendly energy sources, biodiesel has emerged as a promising alternative to traditional petroleum-based fuels. Derived from organic materials, biodiesel offers numerous benefits while reducing environmental impact. In this comprehensive blog, we will explore the history, types, manufacturing process, usage areas, and the myriad benefits of biodiesel. History of Biodiesel : The concept of biodiesel dates back to the late 19th century when Rudolf Diesel, the inventor of the diesel engine, envisioned it running on vegetable oils. However, it was not until the 1970s, during the oil crisis, that research and development efforts gained momentum. Driven by concerns over energy security and environmental impact, scientists and entrepreneurs began exploring alternative fuel sources, leading to significant advancements in biodiesel production. Types of Biodiesel: 1 . Vegetable Oil-Based Biodiesel : This type of biodiesel...

Bioplastics:- The Sustainable Future is Here..

Image
1.Introduction :-  In recent years, the global environmental crisis has prompted a crucial shift towards sustainable alternatives to traditional plastics. Bioplastics have emerged as a promising solution, offering the potential to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels, minimize carbon emissions, and address the mounting plastic waste issue. In this comprehensive blog, we will delve into the fascinating world of bioplastics, exploring their origins, various types, manufacturing processes, applications, environmental benefits, challenges, and the path ahead towards a plastic-free future. 2.Understanding Bioplastics :-  Bioplastics are a class of plastics derived from renewable sources such as biomass, including plants, bacteria, algae, and fungi. They are distinct from conventional plastics, which are predominantly derived from non-renewable fossil fuels like petroleum. Bioplastics can be categorized into two primary types: biodegradable and bio-based. 2.1 Biodegradab...

Callus Culture

Callus is basically a more or less non-organized tumor tissue which usually arises on wounds of differentiated tissues and organs. Thus, in principle, it is a non-organized and little- differentiated tissue. The cells in callus are of a parenchymatous nature. When critically examined, callus culture is not homogeneous mass of cells, because it is usually made up of two types of tissue: differentiated and non- differentiated. Explant tissue is a differentiated tissue (roots, stem, leaves, flowers, etc.) which is used as a starting material for callus induction. These explant tissues generally show distinct planes of cell division, cell proliferation and organization into specialized structures such as vascular systems. If there are only differentiated cells present in an isolated explant, then dedifferentiation must take place before cell division can occur. Parenchyma cells present in the explant usually undergo this differentiation. If the explant already contains ...
