The marine fungi occurring on the wood samples were studied. Diversity of marine fungi colonizing the lignicolous wood samples was assessed and their distribution pattern was determined. The antibacterial activity of Aspergillus oryzae was tested against five human pathogens by agar well diffusion method. Based on the results, the compounds were separated by Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) and these compounds were tested against three human bacterial pathogens. The separated compounds were further analyzed by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) to identify the functional groups, for the antibacterial activity.Keywords

Uranium mineralisation has been discovered recently in quartzites near village Kuladera, 15 km ESE of Bamra, Sambalpur district, Orissa. The radioactive quartzites are occurring at the base of the metasedimentary sequence, which is unconformably resting over the unclassified granitoiddgneisses of late Archaean age. Two mineralized quartzite bands, separated by a basic body of epidioritelamphibolite, have been identified. The samples radiometrically assayed 0.018 to 0.15% U3O8 and are free of thorium. The uranium minerals identified are uraninite, gummite, torbernite and U-Ti complex. The other mineral phases contributing to the radioactivity are metamict allanite, zircon, anatase, limonite, epidote and goethite. The samples also analysed higher concentration of Ti, V, Cr, Zr, Cu, Mo, Pb and Ag. As the uranium mineralisation is at the unconformity between the Proterozoic metasediments and basement crystallines, it opens up a new and promising potential target area in this part of Orissa for uranium exploration.Full Text

Extraction of essential oils from locally available plant Coriandrum sativam (L.) was carried out using steam distillation followed by ether extraction. Dried and purified extracted oils were screened for their antibacterial activity of both gram positive (Staphylococcus aureus) and gram negative (Enterobacter aerogenes, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Vibrio cholerae and Salmonella typhi) bacterial strains by Agar well diffusion method. Coriandrum sativam shows antibacterial activity against the above given five bacterial strains. GC-MS was done on Coriandrum sativam oil. These results support that this plant oil can be used to cure bacterial infections and may also have role as pharmaceuticals and preservatives.Keywords

The soil sample was collected from the salt pan of Bay of Bengal at Vedaranyam,Nagapattinam (Dt.) Tamilnadu, India. The physico-chemical parameters at the sample were analyzed by using standard procedures.Totally 10 actinomycetes were isolated and identified from the salt pan soil sample. Two actinomycetes namely Jonesia denitrificans and Nocardia amarae were dominant in their growth out of 10 isolated actinomycetes.
Antibacterial activity of Jonesia denitrificans and Nocardia amarae were studied against five human bacterial pathogens such as Salmonella typhi, Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Vibrio cholerae and Klebsiella pneumonia. The acetone extract of Nocardia amarae exhibited promising antibacterial activity against Bacillus subtilis (25 mm). The isolation, characterization and the study on actinomycetes can be useful in the discovery of antibiotics.

Alcaligenes eutrophus was collected from MTCC bank and purity was checked according to the guidelines of Bergey's manual of bacteriology. The PHB production ability of the culture was tested by "Granular stains method". The test organism was grown in synthetic and various industrial waste based medium (Molasses, seasame oil waste) at different concentration (10%, 20%, 30% and 40%).The PHB producer grown in synthetic and various industrial waste based medium and PHB was extracte and estimated by using UV spectrophotometer. The pure form of PHB powder was collected and studied by Infrared analysis. In the present study, the high PHB production was seen in Alcaligenes eutrophus grown in 40% concentration of seasame oil waste when compared with other substrate and synthetic medium. The present study concludes that the seasame oil waste based medium and Alcaligenes eutrophus used for PHB production in large scale that minimize the cost of the product. Thus we can minimize the use of petroleum-derived plastics and by which we can live in a plastic pollution free earth.Keywords

The learn of Sphaeranthus amaranthoides Burn, were examined for their antioxidant, antimutagenic, antimicrobial and phytochemical activities. Preliminary evaluation of both crude and solvent fractions showed a broad spectrum of activity since the extracts inhibit the growth of both bacterial and fungal isolates. The inhibitory activity of plant extracts on the peroxidation of linolic acid were measured by fericthiocynate methodo. Ethonolic extract showed strong antioxidant activity and antimicrobial activity against to the bacteria, (K.pneumoniae, S. typhi, E.coli, P.aeroginosa, S.aureus) and fungus (A.nidulans, A.terreus, A.sulphureus, Candida albicans and Fusarium sp.) cultures. Due to the phytochemical diversity in the antioxidant phytocompounds, the above results were expected. It almost rich in carotenes, Neoxanthin, chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b, lutein, violexanthin, pheophytin, which may have been responsible for the antioxidant, antimicrobial and for phytochemical activity. For antimutagenic activity using sodium azide to induce the chemical compound of Sphaeranthus amaranthoides Burn, to prevent the degenerative cells and results further support the view that some Indian medicinal plants are source for potential antioxidants.Keywords

Altogether 37 species belonged to 10 genera were recorded. A preliminary screening of all the species isolated from soils were used for antifungal (antagonistic) activity against Fusarium semitectum, a known soil borne fungal pathogen. Among the species tested, Trichoderma koeningii showed promising activity, inhibited the pathogenic fungus for the maximum both in dual culture and in food poisoning technique. When HPLC fractionation of the mycelial extract of T. koeningii grown in PDA broth yielded three fractions. They were named as peak 1, peak 2 and peak 3.Among the three fractions, peak 2 alone showed the antifungal activity with the inhibition zone of 13 mm diameter against Fusarium semitectum. The functional groups present in peak 1 and 3 are almost same, but in the peak 2 some extra functional groups are present. These groups may be responsible for the antifungal activity of this fraction.

The chromosomal DNA was isolated from T. harzianum and PCR amplification was performed. The 18S rDNA gene sequencing was made by using ITS (internal transcribed spacer) method. The 18S rDNA gene sequences were submitted to Genebank, NCBI, the accession number GU646678 has been obtained. The phylogenetic tree was constructed using MEGA 4 (Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Analysis Software version 4.0). Based on the neighbour joining tree analysis the isolate T. harzianum has been found closely related to already existing species of Hypocera tixii at 99 per cent of similarity.Keywords

The bacterial organisms were isolated from drinking water (Bacillus, Borchothrix, Clavibacter sp, Ancylobacter sp, and Brevi bacterium). Selected Indian medicinal plants Cardiospermum halicacabum and Melothria heterophylla were selected for antibacterial studies. The solvents used for the extraction of plant ischolar_mains were n- butanol, ethyl acetate and distilled water. The invitro antibacterial activity was performed by agar well diffusion method. The most susceptible Gram-Postive bacteria was Bacillus sp, Brevibacterium sp, and the most susceptible Gram-negative bacteria was Borchothrix sp, Clavibacter sp, and Ancylobacter sp. The extracts of plant Cardiospermum halicacabum and Melothria heterophylla inhibited the growth of the bacterial strains investigated. The most active extracts was compared with the standard antibiotics, penicillin, Streptomycin and Ampicillin 100mg/disc). The results obtained in the present study suggest that Cardiospermum halicacabum and Melothria heterophylla could be used in treating diseases caused by the test organisms. The results are discussed in detail.Keywords
