Title : PCR based molecular diagnosis of Leprosy(M. leprae). 

Brief :   The project describes the PCR analysis of tissues for M.leprae DNA provides a valuable means for identifying this organism. Mutation in M.Laprae genome those are associated with resistance to different drugs used against this pathogen have been identified. So it is regarded as the PCR is the better diagnostic tool for the detection of leprosy at an early stage. The primer Ri & Rn are very specific for M.Laprae & were absent in 20 other mycobacterail species.

Title : Biochemical characterization of wild variety of Rice. 

Brief : The project describes Rice is one of the staple food in Asia where it provides 40% - 70% of food calories. The quality of the seed is a major determination of the qquantity of the o/p of the corp. Riceseed yield are detrimentally affected by lodging results in difficult and prolonged harvesting. The poorly filled gain may have high gain moisture content, lower specific weight and it may even have sprouted and be discoloured due to pathogenic activity. The objectivity of the study is to characterize the changes in biochemical, seed p pattern of storage proteins in seed of wild species of rice under controlled and accelerated aging condition.

 Title : Identification of Hepatitis C  Virus in blood sample from HCL injected & HIV co injected Patients.  

Brief :  In this project HCV is known to have marked genetic heterogenecity and it was estimated to have a nucleotide substitution rate between 1.44 x 10^-3 & 1.92 x 10^-3 substitution site per year. Accumulation of nucleotide substitution in HCV genome results in the diversification & evolution of the different genotypes. There is increasing evidence that patients injected with different HCV genetype may have different clinical profiles, severity of liver disease & response to interferon alfa therapy.

In this study the positive samples found out by ELISA are again screened by Tridot rapid test. The RNA was isolated & amplified. The genotyping was done following the Ohno T method in which 2 different mixtures of primers are used for specific genetyping.

Title : Zymographic detection & clinical correlation of MMP in the plasma/sera of cervical cancer patient.

Brief : The project describes that Cervical cancer is a malignancy of cervix and it stands as the second most common cancer in terms of both medicine & mortality. Elevated expression of MMp-2(Gelatinase A) & MMP-9(Gelatinase B) was seen in human cancer, including cervical carcinoma. MMP – 2 & MMP – 9 are inactive proenzymes that undergo activation  followed by cleanage of an NH-2 terminal prodomain. MMPs are considered as the key enzyme that plays a key role in tumor cell invasion & metastasis

Title : Detection  of Aflatoxin +ve  strains & quatification of  aflatoxin from Aspergillus flavus strains. 

Brief : The project shows that Aspergillus flavus was cultured on B-CD-PDA medium that produced aflatoxin. The isolates produced yellow pigment which turned pink when ammonia solutions was added to it. Addition of an excess of any acid converts black colour to yellow indicating that the pigments which form the basis for this test, thereby acting as a PH indicator dye. Isolates were classified as low, intermediate & high producer of aflatoxin on the basis of intensity of pink color produced by them.

Title : Microbial analysis of post methylated distillery effluent & wet land treatment.

Brief : The project aims at the physicochemical parameters decrease manifolds after sequential treatment with bacteria and wetland plants. This was studied by analyzing the Distillery Effluent in Sequential Treatment with Bacteria and Wetland plants. The reason of the decrease being the digestion of complex compounds and heavy metals in the root nodules of the wetland plants, which contains Rhizispheric Bacteria in them. Thus, the uptake of these compounds reduces the Physico Chemical parameters to a great extent.
