Plant protection against pathogens, pests and weeds has been progressively reoriented from a therapeutic approach to a rational use of pesticide chemicals in which consumer health and environmental preservation prevail over any other productive or economic considerations. Microbial pesticides are being introduced in this new scenario of crop protection and currently several beneficial microorga...

Various microorganisms such as Streptococcus pneumonia, Haemophilus influenza, Chlamydia spp, and Mycoplasma pneumonia can cause ARI. The ginger flower which contains various phytochemicals that have potential anti-microbial. Recent study was aimed to explore the anti-microbial properties of extract. This experimental in vitro with disc diffusion method. ethanol extract Ginger flowers obtained ...

Abstract Background In medicinal chemistry, indole and its derivative play an important role. Indole is gaining a lot of importance in chemistry due to physiological activity which includes anticancer, antitubercular, antimicrobial, antiviral, antimalarial, anti-inflammatory activities, antileishmanial agents, anti-cholinesterase, enzyme inhibitory. The spread antimicrobial resistance becomes t...

From long time, scientists are looking for natural biomolecules in order to discover new pharmaceutical agents. Therefore polysaccharides which are natural molecules from several biotopes (microbial, plant, algae, fungi, animals, and insects) constitute a very large potential of application for medical treatment. Among them, chitosan a deacetylated form of chitin (one of the most abundant polys...

Glycolic acid is an attractive raw material which is used as a dyeing and tanning agent in the textile industry, a flavoring agent and preservative in the food processing industry, and a skin care agent in the pharmaceutical industry. It is also utilized for the production of polyglycolic acid and other biocompatible copolymers. Glycolic acid can be isolated from natural sources, such as sugarc...

A new cell immobilization method based on the replacement of KC1 by KC1 +chitosan as gelling agent was developed. The results showed that through addition of chitosan into gelling agent, the mechanical strength and thermal stability of the carrageenan gel were greatly improved. The new immobilization method was used to entrap a chlorophenol-degrading microorganism. The immobilized microbial cel...
