Abstract Pigment-producing bacteria were isolated from kitchen wastewaters of the National Institute Technology, Rourkela. A pink non-virulent bacterial strain PWN1 was selected based on India Ink Broth and Coomassie Brilliant Blue (R-250) dye assay. According to morphological biochemical characterization, PWN1was a Gram-negative, rod-shaped, motile, non-coliform bacterium could utilize only gl...

In this paper, the effect of pH on in vitro cell growth and naphthoquinone pigment production in cell suspension cultures of Arnebia euchroma (Royle) Johnston was evaluated under a two-stage culture system. Friable callus derived from leaves of in vitro established shoots was maintained on MS medium supplemented with BAP (10 μM) and IBA (5 μM) and the same medium was used for raising cell suspe...

The marine environment covers three quarters of the surface of the planet and is estimated to be home to more than 80% of life but yet it remains largely unexplored. It harbours a number of macro and microorganisms that have developed unique metabolic abilities to ensure their survival in diverse and hostile habitats, resulting in the biosynthesis of an array of secondary metabolites with speci...

Recently, the green synthesis of nanoparticles has gained considerable attention due to its benefits such as cost efficiency, simplicity, eco-friendly nature, biocompatibility and broad applications over conventional chemical physical techniques. In this context twenty actinobacteria were isolated from rhizospheric soil wild carrot screened for their pigment producing ability. These isolates be...

BACKGROUND Basal cell carcinoma is the most frequent cancer in fair-skinned populations and dermoscopy is an important, non-invasive technique that aids in the diagnosis of Basal cell carcinoma. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between histopathological subtypes and dermoscopic features of Basal cell carcinoma. METHODS This study included 98 patients with cl...

Ninety-five male juvenile sex offenders in an adventure-based behavior management program (LEGACY) were matched with male juveniles in state treatment-as-usual and other specialized programs in the same state to determine program effectiveness (as measured by rearrest rates). The LEGACY program demonstrated significant treatment effectiveness on rearrest rates when compared with youth developme...

Two simple, sensitive, accurate, rapid, and economical spectrophotometric methods have been developed for the estimation of diacerein in Pharmaceutical dosage forms. Method A is based on the reaction of diacerein with Folin-Ciocalteu reagent, in the presence of 0.5 N sodium hydroxide solution, giving a pink-colored chromogen, which shows maximum absorbance at 512 nm against reagent blank, while...

in this research, the effect of different storage conditions (cold, semi technical and traditional storages) at 180 days after storage on the qualitative and quantitive properties of garlic populations were investigated. white and pink populations were packaged in wooden boxes and net pockets and factors i. e. weight loss, moisture content, spoilage, firmness and total pyruvic acid were measure...
