Growth Inhibitory Effects of Centella asiatica Extracts on Escherichia coli
Abstract: Plant secondary metabolites have been known for their varying degrees of antimicrobial activity. These form important constituent of traditional medicine. The present study aims to analyze the antibacterial effects of the Centella asiatica extracts by looking into the growth inhibitory effects of organic and aqueous extracts of the leaves on Escherichia coli bacterium and to identify the secondary metabolites present in the extract by phytochemical analysis. The leaf extracts of …

Production and Characterization of Cardanol Based Schiff Complexes and their Biological Significance
Abstract: Synthesis and analysis of cardanol consisted Schiff base ligand along with its complexes such as Cu, Co and Ni are considered as a novel tetradentate cardanol contained Schiff base ligand molecules for various biological effects. It is prepared by the condensation reaction of 2-aminophenol and di-α formylmethoxybis (3-pentadecenyl phenyl) methane which is termed as DFMPM in the molar ratio of 2:1. The characterization of the experimental compounds is done with …

A Review- Recent Outbreak of Zika Viruses in India, its Vectorology and Virology
Abstract: Zika virus is an arbovirus (arthropod-borne virus) which belongs to the family Flaviviridae that was first isolated in 1947 from blood of a febrile rhesus macaque monkey during a yellow fever study in the Zika forest of Uganda and later identified in Aedes africanus mosquito from the same forest. But in 2007, the first major outbreak of Zika virus infection occurred in Yap Island (Federated States of Micronesia), where, it …

Isolation and Identification of Novel Bacillus tequilensis TB5 from Vegetable Waste and Analyze the Effect of Rudiment Compounds on Bio-Catalytic α-Amylase Production
Abstract: AbstractAmylase is one of the basic components for leather, baking, textiles and paper industries. It hydrolyzes starch into simple productive sugar which reduces the cost of the final desired product. In this work, amylase producing novel Bacillus tequilensis TB5 was isolated from vegetable waste and different chemical compounds were added at different concentration in production medium to analyze its effect on amylase enzyme production. We observed that addition of weight/volume …

Production of Levan, A Potential Low Calorie Sweetener From Low Cost Substrates
Abstract: Levan is a biocompatible and bioactive bio-polymer with good rheological and medicinal properties. Due to its high cost, it is beyond reach of commons. The current study deals with levan production using regional low cost substrates as carbon source which will help to reduce its cost. 10 isolates were obtained from a novel source i.e. soil from jaggery preparation area, from which three levan producing isolates were selected and identified …
