Abstract: The Enterobacteriaceae are a large family of Gram-negative bacteria. This family is the only representative in the order Enterobacteriales of the class Gammaproteobacteria in the phylum Proteobacteria. Enterobacteriaceae includes, along with many harmless symbionts, many of the more familiar pathogens, such as Salmonella, Escherichia coli, Yersinia pestis, Klebsiella, and Shigella. Klebsiella is a genus of non-motile, Gram-negative, oxidase-negative, rod-shaped bacteria with a prominent polysaccharide-based capsule. Klebsiella species are found everywhere in nature. This is thought to be due to distinct sublineages developing specific niche adaptations, with associated biochemical adaptations which make them better suited to a particular environment. They can be found........

Abstract: Marine green algae remain largely unexploited among the three main divisions of macroalgae (i.e., Chlorophyta, Phaeophyta, and Rhodophyta). Interest in utilizing green seaweeds as natural resources has recently increased because of their many active ingredients, particularly those that may be used for medical purposes. Green seaweeds have reported to contain lipid fractions, proteins, peptides, polysaccharide, carotenoids, phenolic compounds, alkaloids, thallus, holdfast, mucilaginous, and whole plants. Among all these active ingredients, polysaccharides are the components most intensively investigated for medical purposes. Thus there are several studies on the anticoagulant properties of polysaccharides isolated from seaweeds. The present research is a Comparative Analysis of the Anticoagulant Property of Chaetomorpha antennina and Chaetomorpha submersum..

Abstract: Usefulness of candida albicans for rapid screening of mutagenic agents and sun screeners have been explored by using UV induction. The study findings clearly show that Candida albicans will serve as reliable tool for the above study which we have validated and confirmed using the battery of sunscreeners such as avobenzone, octylmethoxycinnamate, benzophenone. We have further counter checked the study model using the extracts of Psoraleacorylifolia. Findings are presented in the paper..

Abstract: Compared with other plant species, the study on the potential of rice cystatin gene (Oryzacystatin-I) in response to abiotic stress is underexplored. Regarding this, isolation and sequence analysis of OCI gene was conducted on three Indica rice varieties, named as MR219, MR211 and AERON 1. Unique features of phytocystatins family were found on the isolated sequences, including GG residue, LARFAVTHEN, QVVAG and PW motif. Phylogenetic analysis indicates that this gene is a putative orthologous for corn, wheat and barley cystatin family. Various cis-acting regulatory elements that associated with stress responses were identified at the upstream regions of this rice cystatin gene, indicating the potential of this gene to be used in combating the abiotic stress issues in world rice production.
Keywords: Abiotic stress, Indica rice, Oryzacystatin-I.

Abstract: Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is one of the most cultivated tuberous crops as a sustainable source of food security and family income among the poor in the developing world. Despite this economic significance, cassava's tuber yield is significantly reduced by viral diseases and pests among them cassava mosaic disease (CMD), cassava brown streak disease (CBSD) and cassava green mites (CGM). CMD and CBSD are respectively caused by cassava mosaic begomoviruses (CMBs) and cassava brown streak viruses (CBSVs) which often result in 100% yield losses in susceptible cultivars. Through a field-based randomized complete block designed experiment, the present study screened fifteen cassava genotypes sourced from different breeding programs and local landraces in Kenya for resistance against CMD, CBSD and CGM. Genotypic differences for............
