Genetic modification of rumen bacteria by using rDNA technology may improve the rate or extent of lignocellulolysis in the animal. The task of developing effective rDNA technology in rumen bacteria, particularly for improving lignocellulose digestion is complex. After the rate limiting steps have been defined, it is necessary to identify and clone suitable heterologous genes for insertion into a rumen [...]
In this article we will discuss about the characteristics of phylloplane microflora. Since phylloplane microflora is exposed into the environment, it is constantly influenced by meteorological factors. Therefore, microflora develop certain characteristic features so that it can cope with environment: (i) Morphological Characteristics: The phylloplane inhabitants possess morphological characteristics for their survival. These include the development of pigment in their [...]
Apart from making films of the test material, autoradiography can directly be measured by various counters like Geiger-Muller counter and Scintillation Counter. While counting the back ground count should also be considered. Counter # 1. Geiger-Muller Counter: It is made of a glass or metal tube containing a mixture of gases, an inert gas like helium or argon and an [...]
