Isolation of Mutant
Made by :Shveta Arya
B.Pharm
Positive Selection
Positive selection entails growing the culture on a medium that will allow for the growth of only the mutant colonies.
If, for example, we want to find mutants that resistant to penicillin, we grow the culture on a medium that contains penicillin. Only those colonies that are resistant to penicillin will grow and we can identify them directly.
Negative Selection:
Negative selection is used to identify mutants that have lost the ability to perform a certain function that their parents had.
Auxotrophic mutants, for example, are bacteria that have lost the ability to synthesize an essential nutrient.
The replica-plating technique is used to identify mutants by negative selection.
the replica-plating technique can be used, for example, to identify mutants that have lost the ability to synthesize the amino acid histidine. Therefore, mutants are His- and require histidine in order to survive.
Inoculate a histidine enriched medium with bacteria. Incubate so that cells can form colonies. This is the master plate.
Press a sterile velvet surface into the colonies of the master plate. Some cells from each of the colonies adhere to the velvet.
Prepare two mediums, one with histidine, the other without histidine.
Transfer cells from the velvet to each plate.
Compare growth on the two plates after incubation. Colonies that grow on the histidine enriched medium but not on the medium lacking histidine are His- mutants
Ames test
The Ames Test utilizes a histidine auxotroph of Salmonella to determine if a chemical agent is a mutagen. Though some spontaneous back mutations (a reversion back to the strain of Salmonella that can synthesize histadine) can occur, if many colonies of the microbe appear on the minimal plate after the addition of the test chemical, this is an indication the the chemical is a mutagen.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2. STANDARDIZATION
Standardization of drug means confirmation of its
identity and determination of its quality and purity
and detection of nature of adulterant by various
parameters like morphological, microscopical,
physical, chemical and biological observations.
3. Different techniques involved in
standardization of crude drugs
Macroscopic methods
Microscopic methods
Physical methods
Chemical methods
Biological methods
4. PHYSICAL STANDARDIZATIONOF
HERBAL DRUGS:
Viscosity
Melting point
Solubility
Moisture content and volatile matter
Specific gravity
Density
Optical rotation
Refractive index
Bitterness value
Hemolytic activity
Swelling index
Foaming index
Ash value
Astringency
5. VISCOSITY
Viscosity of a liquid is constant at a given temperature and
is an index of its composition. Hence, it can be used as a
means of standardizing liquid drugs.
MELTING POINT
In case of pure photochemical, melting points are very
sharp and constant.
The crude drugs from plant or animal origin, containing
the mixed chemicals, are described with certain range of
melting point.
Their purity can be ascertained by determining their
melting points in that range
for E.g. Colophony- 75-80˚c
Cocoa butter- 30-33˚c
6. SOLUBILTY
The presence of adulterant could be indicated by solubility studies
E.g.pure Asafoetida is soluble in carbon disulphide
MOISTURE CONTENT AND VOLATILE MATTER
The moisture content of the drug should be minimized in order to
prevent decomposition of crude drug either due to chemical change
or microbial contamination.
The moisture content is determined by heating a drug at 105˚c in an
oven to a constant weight.
For the drugs containing volatile constituents, toulene distillation
method is used
E.g. – Aloe should have moisture content not more than 10% w/w
7. OPTICAL ROTATION
Optically active compounds have the property of rotating the
plane of polarized light.This property is known as optical
rotation.
Normally, the optical rotation is determined at 25˚c using
sodium lamp as the source of light.
E.g. castor oil has optical rotation from +3.5˚to +6˚
REFRACTIVE INDEX
When a ray of light passes from one medium to another of
different density, then the ratio of velocity of light in
vaccum to its velocity in substance is termed as refractive
index of second medium.
It is constant for a pure drug and varied with wavelength of
incident light, temperature and pressure
E.g. Castor oil has refractive index 1.4758-1.527
8. ASH VALUES AND EXTRACTIVES
The residue remaining after incineration is the ash content
of drug
Total ash method is used to measure the total amount of
material remaining after incineration
Acid insoluble ash is the residue obtained after boiling the
total ash with dil. HCl and igniting the remaining insoluble
matter.
Water soluble ash is the difference in weight between total
ash and residue after treatment of total ash with water.
9. DETERMINATION OF EXTRACTABLE MATTER:
HOT EXTRACTION:
place 4 gms powdered material in a conical flask. Add water
and weigh to obtain total weight.
Shake and allowed to stand for 1hr. attach the reflux
condenser and boil for 1hr.
Readjust to the original weight with solvent. Shake and
filter.
Transfer the filter to a flat bottomed disk and evaporate to
dryness on a water bath.
Dry at 105˚ c for 6hrs, cool and weigh immediately.
Calculate the content of extractable matter in mg per g of air
dried material.
10. COLD MARCERATION
Place the powdered material in a conical flask.
Macerate with 100ml of solvent specified for 6hrs,
shake then allowed to stand for 18hrs.
Filter and transfer the filtrate to flat bottomed disk
and evaporate to dryness on a water bath.
Dry at 105̊ c for 6hrs, cool and weigh immediately.
Calculated the content of extractable matter in mg
per g of air dried material.
11. BITTERNESS VALUE
Medicinal plants having strong bitter taste are therapeutically used as
appetizing agents
The bitterness is determined by comparing the threshold bitter
concentration of an extract material with that of quinine hydrochloride
The bitterness value is expressed as units equivalent to the bitterness
of a solution containing 1gm of quinine hydrochloride in 2000ml.
0.1gm of quinine hydrochloride is dissolved in 100ml drinking water
and the stock solution is prepared. Then it is diluted and tested and
compared with drug.
Bitterness value in unit per gm = 2000*c
A*B
Where, A = concentration of stock solution
B = volume of test solution in tube with threshold bitter
concentration
C = quantity of quinine hydrochloride in the tube with
threshold bitter concentration
12. HAEMOLYTIC ACTIVITY
Haemolytic activity of plant material is determined by
comparison with that of reference material, Saponin R,
having haemolytic activity of 1000units/g.
Method of preparation of standard:
Fill a glass stopper flask to 1/10 of its volume with sodium
citrate. Ass sufficient volume of blood freshly collected from
healthy ox and shake, this can be stored for about 8 days at 2-4̊
c. place 1ml of citrated blood in a volumetric flask with
phosphate buffer pH 7.4.
Haemolytic activity = 1000* a/b
Where, 1000 = defined haemolytic activity of Saponin standard
a = quantityof saponin standard that produce total
haemolysis (g)
b = quantity of plant material that produce total
haemolysis (g)
13. SWELLING INDEX :-
The swelling index is the volume in ml taken up by the swelling of
1gm of plant material under specified conditions.
Its determination is based on addition of water or a swelling agent
as described in test procedure.
FOAMING INDEX:
The foaming ability of an aqueous decoction of plant material and
their extracts is measured in terms of foaming index.
WATER AND VOLATILE MATTER:
Azeotropic method is used to directly measure the water present
in a material.
Loss on drying
In order to measure volatile matter, plant is diluted with water and
distillate is collected in a graduated tube. The aqueous portion
separates and returns to distillation flask. A solvent of low mass
density with a suitable boiling point may be added to measuring
tube to easily separate the volatile oil.
14. CHEMICAL METHODS OF STANDARDIZATION OF
HERBAL DRUGS:
It comprises of different chemical tests and assays. The
isolation, purification and identification of active
constituents are chemical methods of evaluation.
Quantitative chemical tests shuch as acid vale,
saponification value etc., are also coveredunder this
technique. Qualitative chemical tests are used in detection
of adulteration.
The chemical evaluation also covers phytochemical
screening carried out for establishing chemical profile of a
drug.
15. CHEMICAL EXAMINATION
Detection of alkaloids
Detection of carbohydrates and glycosides
Detection of phytosterols
Detection of fixed oils and fats
Detection of saponins
Detection of phenolic compounds and tannins
Detection of protein and free amino acids
Detection of gums and mucilage
Detection of volatile oils
16. BIOLOGIAL/ TOXICOLOGIAL STANDARDIZATION
Drugs which cannot be assayed by chemical, or
physical means are evaluated by biological
methods.
INDICATION FOR BIOLOGICAL EVALUATION
This is true for the substances having an
Interfering obstacles
When quantity is too small.
No specific chemical test is available
When the action of drug is due to a mixture of
substance
Purification of drug is not possible
17. BIOASSAY
When the estimation of crude drug or its preparation is
done by means of its effect on living organism like bacteria,
fungi, or animal tissue or entire animal it is known as
BIOASSAY.
TYPES OF BIOASSAY
QUANTAL:-It is all or none phenomenon
GRADED:-Based on observation that there is a
proportionate increase in the observed response with
increase in concentration or dose.
18. Graded bioassay can be performed by using any of the
following techniques
Matching bioassay
Interpolation Method
Bracketing Method
Multiple point bioassay
21. ACCEPTABLE RESIDUE LEVEL(ARL)
ARL = ADI*E*60
MUI*100
ADI=maximum acceptable daily intake of pesticides
(mg/kg of body weight)
E= extraction factor, which determines the transition
rate of the pesticides from the plant material into the
dosage form
MDI=Mean Daily Intake of medicinal palnt products
60 in numerator=adult body weight
100 in denominator=consumption factor
22. Determination of arsenic and heavy
metals
Arsenic and heavy metals are even in trace amounts
but they are dangerous removed from herbal drugs.
Amount is estimated by matching the depth of colour
with of standard stain
23. Coarsely ground material in kjeldahl flask
Add water nitric acid and then sulphuric acid
Material is destroyed
No further darkening with heating
Clear solution with sulphur trioxide vapors, cool and add ammonium
oxalate
Heat with sulphur trioxide vapors
Cool
Add potassium iodide and granulated zinc; keep for 40 minutes
Compare the stains with standard solution on mercuric bromide paper
25. Limit test for cadmium and
lead
Material weighed
Add digestion mixture
Heat
Dissolve in nitric acid
Determination of the metal concentration
Maximum amount should not exceed than 10 mg/kg; cadmium
0.3 mg/kg
26. Radioactive contamination
The exposure cannot be avoided
because of many naturally occurring
sources including radionucleotides
occurring in ground and atmosphere
Health risk depend on
Specific radionucleotides
Level of contamination
Quantity of food
27. Aflatoxins
Aflatoxins are the poisonous substance in
the spores of the fungus Aspergillus flavus
The toxin is known to produce cancer in
human beings living in warm and humid
region of the world
Stored nuts and cereals are contaminated
by the fungus
They should therefore be determined after
using a suitable clean up procedure.
28. TEST FOR SPECIFIC MICROORGANISMS
Tests are designed to minimize the
accidental contamination of micro
organisms.
