Survival and growth of Shigella flexneri were assessed in various foods, including boiled rice, lentil soup, milk, cooked beef, cooked fish, mashed potato, mashed brinjal, and raw cucumber. Growth at 25 and 37 degrees C and survival at 5 degrees C were observed by viable counts on MacConkey agar. The organism grew well in all tested foods and growth increased from 10(5) to 10(8) to 10(10) cells...

ABSTRACT: Phytochemical, antioxidant, cytotoxicity, antimicrobial, and antidiabetic of brinjal (Solanum melongena) leave extracts in the present study. The selected plant material was dipped different polarity-based solvents for one weak such as chloroform, n-hexane, methanol, ethyl acetate, n-butanol. By using spectroscopic techniques total phenolic contents (TPC) flavonoid (TFC) were analyzed...

Fourteen Solanum cultivars (S. aculeatissimum, S. melongena, S. torvum, S. trilobatum, S. stramonifolium, S. mammosum and S. wrightii) and fourteen Capsicum cultivars (C. annuum, C. frutescens and C. minimum) cultivated in Thailand were determined their total phenolic contents in term of gallic acid (g) per 100 g of crude extract and per 100 g of dry herb powder. The total phenolic content of S...

Eggplant (Solanum melongena) is amenable to grafting and this technique can be exploited to improve production of this vegetable crop. Here, we study the performance of the ‘Cristal F1’ eggplant cultivar grafted onto a total of 17 rootstocks, including five families, each of which is made by two parents and their hybrid, as well a commercial eggplant rootstock and a self-grafted control. Three ...

Acizzia credoensis sp. n. is described from a single population on the native plant, Solanum lasiophyllum, from semi-arid Western Australia. The host range of Acizzia solanicola Kent & Taylor, initially recorded as damaging eggplant, S. melongena, in commercial crops and gardens and on wild tobacco bush, S. mauritianum in eastern Australia, is expanded to include the following Solanaceae: rock ...

Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are beneficial rhizobacteria which enhance plant growth as well as the productivity by a variety of mechanisms PGPR were isolated from the rhizosphere region of som plants (Machilus bombycina King) maintained at the Central Muga Eri Research and Training Institute, Lahdoigarh, Jorhat. A bacterial based bioformulation was prepared and sprayed over the ...
