Purification of dibenzothiophene monooxygenase from a recombinant Escherichia coli
Dibenzothiophene monooxygenase is the
first enzyme involved in the degradation of dibenzothiophene.
This gene was expressed via the pET28a
vector in E. coli and was purified in a single step
using affinity chromatography. The protein was
purified 39-fold with a specific activity of 38 U/mg.

Not AvailableGood quality potable water is a global issue, particularly in the developing country
like India. With rapid growth in population and improving living standards, the pressure
on available water resources is increasing and per capita availability of water resources
is decreasing day by day. The per capita availability of water in India has dropped from
5300 m3
in the year 1955 to 1820 m3
in the 2001 and presently to about 1500 m3compared
to 7420 m3
for the world and 3250 m3
for Asian countries as a whole. The overall national
availability of water may not pose a serious problem in near future, but there would be a
severe shortage of water in many regions of India.Climate change due to increase in
temperature rise will demand higher amount of water for irrigation. Changing global
climatic patterns coupled with declining per capita availability of surface and ground water
resources have made sustainable agricultural a great challenge in India. Rain is the
principal source of water, which augments soil moisture,groundwater and surface flows.
Agriculture and several of other economic activities inarid areas depend on rain. In
absence of adequate surface and groundwater resources, rainwater plays animportant
role in the survival and livelihood of arid zone dwellers. The rainfall is highly variable at
differentplaces and it is most erratic in the western half with frequent spells of drought.
The rainwater, ifharvested appropriately, can be a reliable source of water for domestic
and otherpurposesNot Availabl
