Isolation and Evaluation of Aspergillus Niger : A Fungi Implicated in Infectious Diseases and its application as potential Biofertilizer
Abstract: In the quest to improve the agronomic effectiveness of Rock Phosphate (RP), a widely available and cost-effective phosphate fertilizer, this study aimed to overcome its limited solubility by isolating fungal strains capable of solubilizing rock phosphate. Soil samples were collected from Garhmukteshwar, Hapur, for the isolation process. Among several isolates, three strains exhibited the highest rock phosphate solubilization within a seven-day timeframe, coinciding with a significant decrease in soil pH. …

Aquatic Ecosystems: A Review on Prospecting of Anticancer Molecules from Fungi & Other Microbes
Abstract: Marine biota; namely, actinomycetes, bacteria, fungi, microalgae, green algae, oceanic weeds, mangroves, and other extremophiles constitute about 90% of the oceanic biomass. The organisms are taxonomically diverse, biologically productive/active, and biochemically unique. These unique biochemiques may act as a great source for the discovery of new bioactive molecules, including anticancer drugs. The marines produce medicinally potent biochemicals; namely, sulfated saccharides, polyphenols, and, sterols. Only a few of these alkaloids have …
