Abstract: Background: Turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) is widely consumed as a spice and used for treatment of various diseases and conditions including diabetes, cancer, hypercholesterolemia, wounds, jaundice, and inflammation. Aim: This study aims at evaluating the phytochemicals, nutritional and anti-nutritional composition of aqueous rhizome extract of Curcuma longa. Materials and Methods: Experimental analyses for proximate, vitamins, minerals and anti-nutrients composition were performed using standard analytical methods in triplicate and the data were expressed as mean values......

Abstract: Background: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a pertinent opportunistic and hardly to treat pathogen because of its high resistance to widespread antibiotics. Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection is getting graver due to presence of virulence factors as the ability to form biofilm. The current study addressed biofilm formation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates with relation to its encoding genes. Materials and Methods: Multiplex polymerase chain reaction was applied on six clinical Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates for detection of three biofilm encoding genes; algD, pelF, and pslD. The positive genes harboring isolates were induced to form biofilm and examined by scanning electron microscopy. The biofilm formation ability was assessed by a microtiter plate assay.....

Abstract: The microbial fermentation bed for breeding cow can solve the problem of dairy manure pollution from the source. The cow's dung urine is degraded directly on the packing material, easy to clean, no odor, no pollution, zero discharge. The functional microorganism is the key of microbial fermentation bed. We obtained a strain Y3 that can efficiently degrade NH3 and H2S, and has the function of degrading cellulose and lignin. Y3 had been identified to be Hydrogenophaga bisanensis. And after mutation breeding by ARTP, we obtained the mutant strain Y3A. After Y3A was inoculated in the solid medium of bedding, NH3 and H2S were reduced by 70.02% and 60.37% respectively after 7 days. And cellulose degradation rate of bedding reached 33.07% and lignin degradation rate was 32.55% after 14 days. This study provides a good strain for fermentation bed of raising cow..
