In vitro evaluation of synergistic antimicrobial activity of Trachyspermum ammi and Syzygium aromaticum

A remarkable Increase in antibiotic toxicity and multidrug resistance among several group of microorganism are the major challenge worldwide. These new emerging trends led for development of different strategies. Cloves (Syzygium aromaticum) and ajwain (Trachyspermum ammi) are plant species widely used in traditional medicine to treat various infectious diseases. The main objective of this research […]

Variability of phytoplankton in the coastal waters of Visakhapatnam, Central east coast of India (Bay of Bengal) with special reference to environmental parameters

In the present study, seasonal distribution of species composition, cell abundance of phytoplankton and statistical data of hydrography and nutrients in the coastal waters along the Visakhapatnam coast were analysed. This survey carried out in 4 stations (Fishing harbor, Lawsens bay, Rushi hills and Bheeminipatnam) during premonsoon and post monsoon in 2011. Totally 110 species […]

Antimicrobial and antioxidant activity of Ammi visnaga (L) phenolic extracts and their effects on planktonic and biofilm growth of food spoilage Bacillus cereus

Ammi visnaga (L) is a species from Apiaceae family (Umbelliferae), it is widely used in Algeria. It is supposed to be an interesting source of phenolic compounds which can be used against biofilm growth of bacteria.

Determining the allowable use for Astragalus effusus Bunge in the mountainous and semi-steppe rangelands of Iran

Current research was performed in selected sites of mountain and semi-steppe rangelands of Iran. The vegetative region included Karsanak (Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari) and Jashlobar (Semnan). Astragalus effuses Bunge is a key and palatable species, having a considerable portion in rangelands production of the mentioned flora. For this purpose, 40 similar stands of Astragalus effusus were […]

Floristic characterization of the ecotonal zone between the Gilbertiodendron dewevrei (De Wild) J. Leonard (Fabaceae) Forest and the semi-deciduous mixed forest in Mbiye island (Congo Basin, DR Congo)

The study intended to determine the floristic composition of an ecotonal forest zone between the Gilbertiodendron dewevrei forest and the mixed forest of Mbiye Island Forest Reserve. Data were collected from a 50 m x 100 m plot set in each investigated biotope (ecotonal forest (interface), Gilbertiodendron dewevrei Forest and mixed forest). These diversity indices […]

Bacteriological profile and antibiogram of blood culture isolates from patients of rural tertiary care hospital

Microbial invasion of blood stream is associated with significant mortality and morbidity. Identification of bacterial isolates and antibiotic susceptibility of bacteria isolated from blood culture would guide the antibiotics treatment for patients with bacteremia. 1) To determine age – wise blood culture positivity rate in bacteremia 2) To identify age – wise common bacterial species […]

Relative abundance of benthic Macro-invertebrates in relation to abiotic environment in Hussainabad nallah, Hunza, Gilgit Baltistan, Pakistan

Benthic macro-invertebrates have been extensively used as bio-indicators of ecosystem structure. The presence of particular species, taxa or community in the ecosystem reflects the history of that environment as well as the condition of that area. The samples of macro-invertebrates were collected from Hussainabad nallah on 26th April 2014 with the help of D-frame kick […]
