Study design: Descriptive study
Place and duration of study: Study was conducted at Avicenna Medical College, Lahore and data was collected from the Punjab Institute of Cardiology, Lahore from April 2012 to June 2012.
Materials and methods: Finger prints were collected from the subjects after obtaining their informed consent in the month of 1 April, 2012 to 15 June, 2012. A total of 140 diagnosed patients were selected from the OPD of Punjab Institute of Cardiology and data were analyzed at Avicenna Medical College Lahore. Finger prints were recorded on a plain white paper with a stamp pad by plain and rolled method and each finger print was assigned by their Name, Age, and Sex, were recorded on the Proforma.
Results: .A total of one hundred and forty patients participated in this study which was all known case of Coronary Heart disease patients. Out of these one hundred and forty patients the majority of the patients were belonging to whorl pattern of finger prints i.e., 90(57%) where as the number of patients belonging to Loop pattern was 40(29%) pattern of Arch and composite was same i.e.,10(7%) each.
Conclusion: Each fingerprint is unique hence it can be very effectively used as an evidence for identification in the court of law. Majority of the patients was belonging to whorl pattern of finger prints followed by patients belonging to Loop pattern and the least patterns were Arch and composite.

Study design: Descriptive study
Place and duration of study: Study was conducted at Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology in University of Lahore. Duration of the study was two years.
Methods: The volume of sample taken are 3ml, of innoculum from growing culture of Pseudomonas aeruginosa was isolated from contaminated soil collected from industrial area of District Kasoor and flasks were then placed into an orbital shaker at speed of 120rpm. The samples were collected in sterile screw capped bottle, 4-5cm deep from soil surface aseptically. Samples were stored at 4oC till further use. After every 24h, culture broth from each flask was taken to estimate bacterial cell mass.
Results: Surface tension was 66.1, 63.2, 48.2 and 45.7 mN/m at time 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours respectively at constant temperature of 37°C and molasses used 0.25g with 3ml inoculum size. The rhamnolipid production was 0.23, 0.82, 1.75 and 1.98g/L respectively. Similarly the bacterial cell mass was 0.2, 0.18, 0.22 and 0.4 g/L respectively.
Conclusion: After optimizing various growth and environmental factors a production of rhamnolipid was achieved.

Study design: Descriptive study
Place and duration of study: Study was conducted at Institute of molecular biology and biotechnology in university of Lahore. Duration of the study was two years.
Materials and methods: The volume of sample taken are 1ml, of innoculum from growing culture of Pseudomonas aeruginosawas isolated from contaminated soil collected from industrial area of district kasoorand flasks were then placed into an orbital shaker at speed of 120rpm. The samples were collected in sterile screw capped bottle, 4-5cm deep from the soil surface aseptically. The samples were stored at 4oC till further use. After every 24h the culture broth from each flask was taken to estimate bacterial cell mass.
Results:-Surface tension was 61.8, 48.1, 33.7 and 31.9mN/m at time 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours respectively at constant temperature of 37°C and molasses used 0.25g with 1ml inoculum size. The rhamnolipid production was 0.61, 1.24, 2.13 and 2.74 g/L respectively. Similarly the bacterial cell mass was 0.28, 0.38, 0.7 and 1.0g/L respectively. And the effect of inoculum size was also evaluated by the production of rhamnolipid as it is evident that at 1ml inoculum size 2.74g/L rhamnolipid was obtained after 96 hours .
Conclusion: Optimizing various growth and environmental factors a production of rhamnolipid was achieved using 0.25g molasses with 1ml inoculum size.
