Finger millet is an ancient African cereal crop, domesticated 7000 years ago in Ethiopia, reaching India at 3000 BC. Finger millet is reported to be resistant to various fungal pathogens including Fusarium sp. We hypothesized that finger millet may host beneficial endophytes (plant-colonizing microbes) that contribute to the antifungal activity. Here we report the first isolation of endophyte(s...

in this study, penicillium digitatum, the causes of green mould disease of orange fruits, were isolated from infected fruit in bam city. antifungal activity of three different plant essential oils eucalyptus camaldulensis, zataria multiflora, myrtus communis at 50, 100, 150 and 200 ppm concentration, have been evaluated. mic (minimum inhibitory concentration) and growth inhibition zone diameter...

Several pyridinylthiazolylazetidinones 4a-d, pyridinylthiazolythiazolidinones 5a-d and pyridinylthiazolylformazans 6a-d have been prepared from pyridinylthiazolylarylidines 3a-d. These compounds have been evaluated for insecticidal, anti-fungal and anti-bacterial activities. Compound 2-[2'-(3"-chloro-2"-oxo-4"-ohydroxyphenyl-1"-azetidinyl)-1',3'-thiazol-4'-yl) aminopyridine 4c has been found to...

The present study was designed to examine the effects of Lactobacillus plantaraum and L. paracasei on the growth and aflatoxin-producing ability of Aspergillus parasiticus. In these experiments, direct and indirect interactions of two different probiotic lactobacilli with A. parasiticus was examined.A co-culture system which supported both fungal growth and probiotic bacteria showed the inhibit...

The Rhodium tris carboxylate of the type, RhL3 was prepared by the reaction of Rhodium trichloride with sodium salt of furoic acid in 1:3 stoichiometry. The complexes obtained were characterized by elemental analysis, IR and 1H, 13C NMR spectroscopic techniques. Based on spectroscopic data ligand coordination through oxygen atoms of the carboxylate group has been suggested. The metal complex ha...

Starting with L-tartaric acid the chiral 3,4-disubstituted pyrrolidine analogue sulfonamide derivatives were prepared. These compounds were examined for anti-bacterial and anti-fungal activity. Further the docking studies were carried out for the model compounds from each series against β-glucosidase and the results found are moderate. The structure–activity relationships are also briefly discu...

Objective: To study the in vitro effect of novel low-dose povidoneiodine formulations against established biofilms of multi-drug resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Candida albicans and to test the Minimal Inhibitory Concentration of the same formulations against Candida auris, Trichophton mentagrophytes, Microsporum canis, Candida albicans and Asp...

the series of 3-(substitutedphenyl)-n-(4h-1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)acrylamide compounds were prepared byreaction of 4-amino-1,2,4-triazole with acetyl chloride followed by claisen-schmidt condensation reactionwith different aromatic aldehydes. the structures of new compounds were confirmed by ir, 1h-nmr and13c-nmr spectral data. anti-bacterial and anti-fungal activities were evaluated and compared wi...

Therapeutic potential of medicinal plants as a source of noble natural anti-oxidants and anti-microbial agents has been well recognised all across the globe. In this study, phenolic compounds, in vitro anti-oxidant activity and anti-microbial properties have been investigated in five Himalayan medicinal plants, (e.g., Acorus calamus, Habenaria intermedia, Hedychium spicatum, Roscoea procera and...
