Rapid urbanization and increase in population have evoked tremendous attention for biofuelsproduction to combatshortage of fuels, environmental concerns, foreign exchange savingsand socioeconomic issues.In recent years biodiesel production from agro-industrial feedstocks such as waste vegetable oil, animal fat, grease, non-edible fruit oils etc.,acquired prominent place to fulfil the gap between production and demand. The present investigation has been undertaken to explore a noveland environmentally friendly process for developing biodiesel production technology by subjecting dried fruits of Lagerstroemia speciosa to mild ultrasonication at 33KHz for 20 min at 35±2oCfor obtaining high lipid yield, precursor for the production of biodiesel by transesterification.The biodiesel compounds 2,4di-tert-butylphenol, hexadecanoic acid methyl ester, 9,12-octadecadienoic acid (Z, Z) methyl ester, 9-octadecenoic acid methyl ester, methyl stearate, cis-11,14-eicosadienoic acid methyl ester, 18-methylnonadecanoate were recognized as the main compounds in GC-MS analysis.

Plackett-Burman design for L-methionine production Abstract In the present study, economical fermentation medium process was developed to achieve the maximum production of L-methionine by Corynebacterium glutamicum through screening of different nutritional and physical parameters by Plackett-Burman design. A total of eleven process variables such as plantain as carbon source, groundnut as nitrogen source, CaCO3, K2HPO4, KH2PO4, biotin, MgSO4.7H2O, inoculum size, agitation speed, volume ratio of medium/fermenter and pH were used for screening experiments. The PBD model results suggested that seven variables namely plantain as carbon source, groundnut as nitrogen source, CaCO3, MgSO4.7H2O and KH2PO4 had shown a significant effect on L-methionine production, while remaining six variables didn’t show a much effect on Lmethionine production. The R2 value (0.99) of analysis of variance (ANOVA) recommended that the model used for response prediction is significant (p<0.05). In comparison with the unoptimized medium, 24% higher L-methionine production was obtained from the optimized medium and L-methionine production was found to be 5.6 g/l.

Angiotensin-converting enzyme 1(ACE1) and ACE2 play a major role in regulation of blood pressure and electrolytic balance. They are known to express in epithelial cells of various tissues. SARS-CoV2 uses ACE2 as one of the receptors to enter into the host cells. Coronavirus infection-associated decrease in the expression of ACE2 is known to associate with vasoconstriction, hypertension and other cardiovascular problems. Patients who are on ACE1 inhibitors show increased ACE2 expression, which is known to protect the lung from acute lung injury. ACE1 and ACE2 polymorphisms might be associated with the infectivity, severity and recovery from the COVID-19. Association studies of ACE gene polymorphisms in affected population may suggest the clinical outcome of the COVID-19.

The disease caused by Coronavirus (CoV) is called as Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19). It became pandemic in 210 countries and rolling data indicate that 2,606,635individuals are infected with the deadly pandemic disease and 713,812 have recovered, while, 182,114 have lost their lives. Although, few drugs namely Chloroquine, Hydr oxychl or oqui ne and Azi t hr omyci n, Tocilizumab, Lopinavir; Ritonavir and Tocilizumab are recommended on contextual basis for the treatment of COVID-19, the world is still waiting to come up with a specific vaccine or medicine to combat the disease. Without a specific medicine, countries such as Italy, USA, Spain and France, withthe most advanced health care systems are unsuccessful to control both the infection and death rate under COVID-19 infection. India being the world’s 2 ndlargest populous country, where, the health care system is under developed, with major portion of people live less-hygienic life, has contracted the disease at a slower rate as compared to the above countries. India has achieved this through employing social distancing by following a strict lockdown. This article is focused on social distancing of India and the kind of social interaction that can be adapted by people during lockdown.

Eco-genotoxicity was evaluated in fresh water fish, Catla catla using two commercially available pesticide mixtures, viz., Deltamethrin 1% + Triazophos 35% EC and Profenofos 40% EC + Cypermethrin 4% EC. Acute toxicity studies were conducted primarily to determine LC50 of each pesticide mixture. The fish were exposed to each pesticide mixture for 21 days at a dose value of 1/ 20th and 1/10th of LC50. The gills were isolated from the fish at the end of the exposure period, and processed for comet assay. Nucleoids were scored visually, observed significant increase of damage and categorized into various degrees of damages. Based on the results obtained from this study it is concluded that the pesticide mixtures evaluated could be potentially genotoxic to fresh water fish, Catla catla.
