Pomegranate (Punica granatum) is an ancient fruit used in various systems of medicine for a variety of ailments. The study has been designed to investigate the role of ethanolic extract of rinds of Punica granatum as antimicrobial on 6 types of bacteria includes; Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella typhi, Staph aureus, E.coli, Streptococcus spp. and Klebsiella pneumonia and antifungal activity o...

The use of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) against various pathogens is now being well recognized in the agriculture and health sector. Nanoparticles have been shown to exhibit novel properties these properties, on other hand, rely upon size, shape, morphology particles. Moreover, physical characteristics enable them interact with microbes, plants, animals. Smaller-sized particles more toxicity th...

The present study aimed to evaluate the ethanolic extract of Filago desertorum for its probable antioxidant, antimicrobial, cytotoxicity potential and assess elemental analysis. showed maximum 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (68.48 %), 2,2'-azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (71.32 %) hydrogen peroxide (69.44 scavenging activity as compared ascorbic (reference) at concentration 250...

The extensive and random application of major organic pollutants, mainly pesticides, threatens ecosystems human health. present study was conducted to isolate identify microorganisms from some water resources contaminated with pesticides. We investigated the ability identified microbes grow in spiked dimethoate methomyl. also evaluated potential effect microbial isolates on methomyl biodegradat...

Banana besides its nutritive value the biomass can be used as resources for natural fibre. North east India and Assam in particular has a vast potential of extraction and value addition of natural fibre, especially from banana. Banana farming generates huge quantities of biomass most of which goes as waste due to non‐availability of suitable technology for its commercial utilization. Banana fib...

Sponges are the simplest multicellular animals that lack defense mechanisms and rely on chemical defense  that have been used by mankind to develop antimicrobial drugs against diseases.  The present study was designed to demonstrate the antibacterial and antifungal activities of marine sponge Dysidea pallescens semipolar and nonpolar extracts. In this study, D. pallescens were collected from He...

A novel Schiff base ligand named (E)-2-(((3-hydroxyphenyl)imino)methyl)phenol (H2L) was prepared through condensation of 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde with 3-aminophenol in1:1 ratio. The characterized using spectroscopic techniques. La(III), Er(III) and Yb(III) complexes derived from H2L have been by conventional techniques including elemental analyses, infrared, electronic spectra, mass molar conducti...

In the current study, thermo-tolerant fungal isolates were screened for their ability to metabolize L-methionine by γ-lyase (MGL). Among 63 isolates, fifteen exhibited MGL induction as evidenced qualitative assay method using phenol red. Then, quantitative indicates that coded 26 & 37 most potent production. Fungal mycelium treatment under sonication process proved isolate No. could be release ...

Background: Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is an immune mediated lung disease caused due to hypersensitivity reaction of antigen Aspergillus fumigates. ABPA more prevalent in patients with asthma and cystic fibrosis. Thus, the current investigation was done estimate prevalence association resistant asthma, identify clinical laboratory pointers effect its treatment on course asth...
