This study was to investigate the metabolic characteristics of cyanobacteria in organic waste-treatment systems in order to gain a better understanding of their physiological contributions during biological waste-treatment. This in turn would provide some valuable insight into the role of cyanobacteria in the microbial community as well as their potential impact on waste-treatment efficiency. Nostoc muscorum, Synechococcus PCC7942, Spirulina platensis and Anabaena cylindrica have varying tolerance potential to organic compounds and the order of tolerance was almost same in all the strains. We...

The plant fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.) dedicated for the maximum beneficial use of the plant for mankind as well as in study of fenugreek biology The objectives of this study were to access the nutritional and medicinal values of plant fenugreek. Like the availability of rich essential amino acids content, dietary fibers and minerals which can categorize the plant as a good nutritional source. The different extracts have been tested for their antimicrobial properties in different pathogenic bacterial strains causing skin and gastrointestinal complications. Another objective was to...

Karnal bunt (KB) disease incited by Tillelia indica is widely distributed and an economically important disease of wheat. The present study, attempts were made to find out the physiological, biochemical and molecular basis of resistant and stage specific immunity, against KB.The enzymes of phenylpropanoid pathway were expressed and remained higher in resistant genotype. Phenylpropanoid metabolism is involved in synthesis of carotenoid, act as precursor of ABA synthesis. The low carotenoid levels in resistant than susceptible genotype due to its more conversion in to ABA pool, induced...
