Abstract:
Mucor racemosus isolated from butter exhibited maximum lipase production at 22 C in 3 days at pH 5.0, when grown as a static culture. Supplementation of the medium with glucose and lactose at 1% level resulted in maximum (18.0 μmoles FFA) and minimum (10.5 μmoles FFA) enzyme production. Of the five different nitrogen sources tested, peptone at the 2% level supported highest production of lipase. Calcium, potassium and sodium citrate (0.1 %), when incorporated in the medium, stimulated production of enzyme to the extent of 80, 60 and 47%, respectively.

Transcription Elongation Factors
The transcription elongation is regulated via pausing of RNA polymerase on several occasions during transcription. In bacteria, these halts are necessary because the transcription of DNA into mRNA is coupled to the translation of that mRNA...

Age plays a significant role due to differences in body composition among different age groups. Infants, for instance, have a higher proportion of total body water and lower albumin levels, a protein that binds drugs in the bloodstream. This unique composition in infants enhances the...
Electrolytes: van't Hoff Factor
The colligative properties of a solution depend only on the number, not on the identity, of solute species dissolved. The concentration terms in the equations for various colligative properties (freezing point depression, boiling point elevation, osmotic pressure) pertain to all solute species present in the solution. Nonelectrolytes dissolve physically without dissociation or any other accompanying process. Each molecule that dissolves yields one...
