Evaluation of antibacterial and antioxidant activity of three plant species from Morus genus

Emergence and prevalence of antibiotic-resistant pathogenic bacteria and undesirable side effects of certain antibiotics have triggered immense interest in searching for new antimicrobial drugs of plant origin. Besides, the development of safer antioxidant, especially from plant source is also important to reduce oxidative stress related pathophysiological conditions. However, in this study, we aimed to evaluate […]

Identification and abundance of fruit fly species (Bactrocera mcgregori) in melinjo plant (Gnetum gnemon) in Damit Village, Batu Ampar Sub-district, Tanah Laut Regency

Research on fruit flies in melinjo plants in Indonesia has been carried out but will only be limited to locations on the island of Java, so it is necessary to prove whether fruit fly species that attack melinjo in South Kalimantan are the same or different from the results of previous studies. The locations chosen […]

Colony structure and nest chemical profiling of selected species of wasps (Hymenoptera: Vespidae), in Dir, Pakistan

Wasps are found throughout the world, having great economic importance. Though they are playing a positive role in the ecosystem by promoting pollination, act as a predator for various insect’s pest, they also negative impact upon honey bee farming, local ecosystem and residential. The present study was conducted from April, 2015 to November, 2017 during […]

Assessing genetic variability index among species of ACACIA through morphological and biochemical markers

The present research work was conducted to explore and estimate the intra and inter specific genetic variability amongfour species of Family Fabaceae. The method was used morphometric and protein profiling. The four species include Robina pseudoaccacia, Accacia modesta, Vachellia fernesiana and Leuceana Leucocephalla (Genus Leuceana). The twenty genotypes of each four species were collected from […]

Isolation, identification and antibiotic susceptibility pattern of Salmonella species isolated from poultry samples of District Kohat

Salmonella species has been recognized as a major cause of food borne illness associated with poultry worldwide. Salmonellosis is one of the most common food borne diseases in industrial and developing countries. The wide spread of antimicrobial-resistance in Salmonella species has been a serious global human and animal health problem. The aims of this study […]

Species composition and distribution of diatoms from the Lower Ferlo Valley (Senegal)

Species composition and abundance of Diatoms in the lower Ferlo valley were studied after ten years of its reflooding. A qualitative sampling of diatom from upstream waters toward the downstream side was carried out in five stations using a Phytoplankton net of 30μm mesh size. A total of 71 species of diatoms belonging to 25 […]

Species composition and diversity of periphytic diatoms along Umalag River, Philippines

Rivers are one of the providers of both economic and ecosystem services. However, it has been gradually degraded by general public. One of which is Umalag River, considered to be as one of the heavily stressed rivers due to different anthropogenic activities nearby. Consequently, not only locals are affected to these changes, but also the […]

Comparative study of the diet of three species of freshwater shrimp: Macrobrachium vollenhovenii, M. macrobrachion and M. dux (Crustacea, Palaemonidae) in Cavally River, Côte d’Ivoire

Freshwater Shrimps are important food resources consumed and very harvested in Côte d’Ivoire. The present study is the first one of the kind in Cavally River. It was conducted for understanding better the eating habits of breeding shrimps. It consists of studing the diet of three numerically majority species Macrobrachuim vollenhovenii, M. macrobrachion and M. […]

Effect of the water reserve on the regeneration of herbaceous species in the Sudano-Guinean zone in Benin

In Benin, wildfires are lit for various purposes: hunting, agriculture, livestock farming and many other reasons. However, the recommended period for these fires is often vague and does not take into account the water-determining factors of soils favoring the resumption of vegetation. This study aims to assess the effect of the water reservoir on the resumption of the vegetation of rangelands subjected to various fires in the Sudano-Guinean zone in […]

Elucidation of the antagonistic effect of Bacillus species against white mold fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum

Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is one of the most devastating and cosmopolitan soil-borne fungus and causes white mold diseases on several economically important crops, such as oilseed rape, soybean, cotton and numerous vegetable crops. The disease has been controlled primarily through the use of several chemicals; however, the fungicides are often ineffective and not environmentally safe. The […]
