Rapid ascent into high altitude or permanent residence there leads to a wide range of disturbances of function or alterations in histological appearances in most organs of the body. The influences which lead to these changes are those inherent in the environment of high altitude, especially hypobaric hypoxia resulting from the diminished barometric pressure. One of the major aspects of research...

Flourene and phenanthrene are organic compounds with high hydrophobicity and toxicity. Being recalcitrant in nature they are accumulating in the environment at an alarming concentration, posing serious threat to living beings. Thus in the present study, microorganisms were screened for their ability to degrade these contaminants at high concentrations in least period of time. Two out of fifteen...
