Exploration of new microbial organisms from diverse environment and different geographical locations has turned pivotal for the production of industrially important extracellular enzymes. Amyloglucosidase is an important hydrolase that is used in various industries for the bioconversion of starch. Current study is an attempt to produce higher titers of amyloglucosidase from indigenously isolated filamentous fungi. Preliminary screening showed that maximum amyloglucosidase production was achieved after optimization of conditions for Aspergillus fumigatus KIBGE-IB33 which was identified on the basis of molecular phylogeny and taxonomy. The cultivation of isolate and production of amyloglucosidase was enhanced by manipulating different parameters and maximum yield was attained at 30°C in starch containing medium (pH-7.0) after 04 days of fermentation. In case of chemical parameters, potato starch (10.0gL-1), yeast extract (10.0gL-1) and peptone (5.0gL-1) were found to be suitable carbon and nitrogen sources. Gradient precipitation method was performed for partial purification of amyloglucosidase which resulted in approximately 6.3 times purification. The kinetic properties of amyloglucosidase suggested that maximum catalysis of starch was observed in 50 mM citrate buffer of pH-5.0 at 60°C after 05 minutes with Vmax and Km values of 947 kU mg-1 and 1.417 mg ml-1, respectively. Amyloglucosidase retained approximately 50% of its activity when exposed at 60°C after 04 hours suggesting its thermostable nature. Storage of amyloglucosidase at 37°C and 4°C showed 30% and 62% of residual activity after 40 days. Na+, K+ and Ca+2 enhanced the activity of amyloglucosidase while, Cu2+, Fe2+, Hg2+, Ni2+, Zn2+ and Al3+ were found to be the inhibitors of this enzyme. Isopropanol (10 mM) was observed as an activator while, 100 mM concentration of DMSO, chloroform and formaldehyde acted as inhibitors of amyloglucosidase after 02 hours. Nonionic detergents (tween-80 and triton-X100) showed no effect on catalytic activity of enzyme however, anionic detergents (EDTA and SDS) exhibited negative effect on its activity. Native-PAGE and In situ electrophoresis revealed that the apparent molecular weight of amyloglucosidase was approximately 175 kDa. End product of amyloglucosidase was analyzed using thin layer chromatography. Amyloglucosidase was further immobilized using different strategies. Among them, the carrier free cross linking proved to be the most suitable condition for immobilization of amyloglucosidase with percent recovery of 94% followed by chitosan (85%) > agar-agar (80%) > alginate (66%). Catalytic efficiency of amyloglucosidase was slightly changed after immobilization as pH of amyloglucosidase shifts from pH-5.0 to 6.0 in case of alginate and CLEAs while, temperature optima increased 5 degrees from 60°C to 65°C in all except in case of alginate. Activation energy decreased after immobilization due to which stability of amyloglucosidase increased at higher temperatures for longer time period as compared to soluble enzyme. Kinetic behavior (Km and Vmax) of enzyme also changed in carrier bound strategies due to mass transfer limitations whereas, no effect was observed in CLEAs. Results of recycling studies showed that covalently bounded amyloglucosidase retained more enzymatic activities even after 15 cycles as compared to the entrapped enzyme that lost their activities within 10 cycles. In a nut shell, current research demonstrates successful improvement in the kinetic behavior as well as stability of immobilized amyloglucosidase as compared to soluble enzyme. Thus it can be anticipated that immobilized amyloglucosidase can be used in different industrial sectors.

اسلام زندہ ہوتا ہے ہر کربلا کے بعد

اسلام زندہ ہوتا ہے ہر کربلا کے بعد
نحمدہ ونصلی علی رسولہ الکریم امّا بعد فاعوذ بااللہ من الشیطن الرجیم
بسم اللہ الرحمن الرحیم
صدر بزم و معزز اساتذہ کرام اور میرے ہم مکتب ساتھیو!
آج مجھے جس موضوع پرلب کشائی کا موقع فراہم کیا گیا ہے ،وہ کچھ یوں ہے:
’’اسلام زندہ ہوتا ہے ہر کربلا کے بعد ‘‘
معزز سامعین!
تاریخ حق و باطل میں خیر و شر کے لاکھوں معرکے ہوئے، ہزاروں شہادتیں ہوئیں۔ اسلام کا اوّلین دور لاتعداد شہادتوں سے لبریز ہے مگر جو شہرت حضرت امام حسین ؓ کو حاصل ہوئی وہ کسی اور کو نصیب نہ ہو سکی۔ آج تک کسی شہادت کو اس قدر شہرت، قبول عام اور ہمہ تذکرہ نصیب نہ ہو سکا جتنا امام حسین ؓ کو ہوا ہے۔ تقریباً ساڑھے تیرہ سو سال گزرنے کے باوجودبھی شہادت امام حسین ؓکا ذکر زندہ و تابندہ ہے۔ حسینیت ہر طبقے میں حق اور یزید یت ہر طبقے میں فتنہ و فساد کی علامت بن گئی ہے۔
حاضرین محفل!
جب یزید تخت نشین ہوا تو اس نے اپنے اقتدار کی راہ میں حائل ہر رکاوٹ کو بڑی بے دردی اورسختی سے دور کرنا شروع کر دیا۔ اسے اپنی راہ میں سب سے بڑی رکاوٹ حضرت امام حسینؓ محسوس ہوئے تھے تو اس نے گورنر مد ینہ کو حکم دیا کہ امام حسین ؓکے پاس جا کر میری بیعت طلب کرو۔ گورنر مدینہ نے حضرت امام حسین ؓکو یزید کا پیغام پہنچایا تو آپ ؓنے صاف انکار کر دیا۔ یہ آپ ؓنے اس لیے کیا کہ آپ ؓ کو اپنے نانا جان حضوراکرمؐ کا فرمان یاد تھا ’’کہ ظالم جابر حکمران کے سامنے کلمہ حق کہنا سب سے بڑا جہاد ہے۔‘‘ تاریخ کے غائر مطالعہ سے جو چیز واضح طور پر ہمارے سامنے آتی ہے وہ یہ ہے...

اسلام اور ہندو مذہب كا موازنہ

Man's struggle, it seems, revolves most of the time around his natural urges for food and sex. Most of the crimes on the earth are caused by these two forces. That is why every religion attempts to address and regulate these forces within man. Islam seeks to control and regulate these forces through sawm ( f**) while Hinduism does the same through barat (>s*4) The present paper represents an attempt to make comparative analysis of Islam and Hinduism from that angle so as to highlight religious sanctions, individual and collective ramifications of these two religious practice

Exploring the Role of Electronic Media in Augmenting Oral Communication Skills: Acase Study of Secondary Level Students in the Context of District Shikarpur

The Electronic Media (TV Channels) plays a vital role in development including political educational, economic and cultural with the potential of having an influential role in the lives of children as they are pervasive, accessible and attended to by children of all ages. The powerful forces of the electronic media, the dearth of reading among youths and the educational potential of the electronic media necessitates that research be undertaken between the dynamics of English Language learning and enhancing Oral Communication Skills and the electronic media. This study attempted to explore the role of electronic media (TV channels) in augmenting Oral Communication Skills of English language of grade 8 students in a government secondary school Shikarpur, Pakistan. It also explored how media has helped learners’ enhancement of Oral Communication Skills of the English language. Multiple case study strategy with different data sources and data collection methods explored and elaborated the role of electronic media for enhancing Oral Communication Skills of English. This study has come up with some findings which provides bases for the discussion of learners’ perceptions and opportunities in the use of electronic media for enhancing oral communication skills. The findings show that there was improvement not only in fluency, accuracy, pronunciation and style of English but also confidence and knowledge in students who watch electronic media. The findings also explain some challenges which hinder the usage of media for enhancing the oral communication skills of the students of secondary school in the rural context of Pakistan. Based on the findings of the study, some recommendations have been put forward for policy and practice. Furthermore, the findings of the study can be used for future research.
