A Gram-negative micro-organism, designated strain B7(T), was isolated from tidal flat sediment and subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study involving morphological, physiological, biochemical and 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses. A phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that strain B7(T) belonged to the genus Paracoccus and was closely related phylogenetically to Pa...

An outline of the current taxonomic diversity of the genus Paracoccus is presented. A definitive summary is given of the valid type strains of Paracoccus denitrificans and Paracoccus pantotrophus and of culture collection strains that can be assigned to these species. The case is established for a critical reassessment of the P. denitrificans strains held by international culture collections, t...

Ficus is a exible replication facility with optimistic concurrency control designed to span a wide range of scales and network environments. Support for partitioned operation is fundamental to the Ficus design but was not widely exercised in early Ficus use. This position paper reports recent experiences using Ficus in settings where some replicas are only occasionally connected to a network, a...

Ficus bengalensis (commonly known as a Banyan tree) is an evergreen tree and belongs to the family Moraceae. Ficus benghalensis is an important medicinal plant that has a number of bioactive compounds. The whole plant of Ficus bengalensis (leaves, fruits and bark) are used as anti-oxidant, anti-cancer, anti-microbial properties and also used in the treatment of several diseases. The present rev...

Ficus palmata, Pyrus pashia and Ficus auriculata are the popular wild edible fruits of Uttarakhand. The present study aimed to evaluate their total phenolic, flavonoid contents, antioxidant and antiproliferative activities by using two solvents namely 80% aqueous methanol and acetone. The results showed highest phenolic and flavonoid contents in the Ficus palmata acetone extract, while lowest i...

Ficus is a huge tropical ,deciduous , evergreen tree with more than 800 species . Bark , root , leaves , fruit and latex of this plant are frequently usedfor the treatment of various illnesses. Ficus produces a unique fruit which is actually a inverted flower. Ficus species are rich source of polyphenolic compounds , flavanoids which are responsible for strong antioxidant properties that help i...

The genetic platforms of Deinococcus species remain the only systems in which massive ionizing radiation (IR)-induced genome damage can be investigated in vivo at exposures commensurate with cellular survival. We report the whole genome sequence of the extremely IR-resistant rod-shaped bacterium Deinococcus ficus KS 0460 and its phenotypic characterization. Deinococcus ficus KS 0460 has been st...
