Heavy Metal Bioremediation Potential of Mangrove Rhizobacteria from Cochin Backwaters, Kerala

Author (Wafha K.A, Gayathri S., Baby Divya)

Heavy metal pollution as a result of urbanization and industrialization has posed a serious threat to Cochin backwaters. Microbes possess enormous potential to detoxify heavy metals by the property of biosorption. Microbial biosorption is an efficient, economical, eco-friendly, and convenient technique for remediating heavy metal pollution. In the present study, twenty-three bacterial strains isolated from rhizosphere sediments associated with mangroves of Puthuvypin and Panambukad, Cochin were examined for heavy metal tolerance against Cadmium, Cobalt, Nickel, Copper, and Zinc at different concentrations ranging from 500 ppm to 4000 ppm.

Foldscope As A Tool For Analysis Of Gut Microbiota Of The Mud Eel, Monopterus cuchia

Author (Jayshree Deka, Ann Borah, Banasri Mech)

Foldscope is a very low- cost origami based microscope, that can be used as an educational cum research tool. The foldscope provides for a easily accessible, frugal with on the site usage by the reasearchers and field scientist. In the present study, the affordable Foldscope was used to study the microbial diversity living in the gut of the mud eel, Monopterus cuchia. A total of 20 bacterial isolates were identified by Gram staining and different biochemical tests. All of the bacterial isolates were found to be aerobic. Bacterial isolates G7, G16 and G17 were cocci while rest are bacilli. Among them except G11, all bacterial isolates were found to be Gram positive.The gut microbiome consists of microorganisms that populate the gastro-intestinal tract of the host. The gut microbiome plays various important roles such as resistance against the pathogens, maintaining the epithelial layer of the intestine, in metabolising the dietary compounds, influences the immune system and as well as influencing the behaviour via the gut- brain axis. Therefore, studying the microbial population provides important insight into the host and the surrounding it lives in and the interaction between the two.

Importance of in vitro methods in the propagation of nutraceutical plants- a mini review

Author (Darshini Trivedi, Aruna Joshi)

Plants are major sources of natural products mainly used in pharmaceuticals and the food industry. Especially, nutraceuticals and medicinal plants are in great demand worldwide as these are used for food, flavorings, cosmetics, and medicinal purposes. Nowadays utilization of herbal drugs and natural products is increasing due to which economically important plant populations are reducing from the wild. Indiscriminate collection of several plants for different purposes has resulted in the extinction of several species and has pushed them in the endangered category. Therefore, in vitro culture techniques like micropropagation, callus cultures, secondary metabolite production etc. are applied for the large-scale production of plants producing active compounds. The advantage of in vitro propagation is that the plant material becomes continuously available for extraction of the desired compounds, avoiding the problems related to the collection, transport, and storage of plant products. Numerous species of nutraceutical interest like Catharanthus roseus, Mentha spp., Zingiber officinale, Ocimum basilicum, etc. have been micropropagated. In the present review, the neutraceuticals importance and in vitro methods applied for the propagation of neutraceutical important plants have been discussed.

Health Benefits Uses Of Black Salt

Author (Ilamathi Jayaraman)

Plants are used as medicines throughout history. Indeed, studies ofwild animals show that they also instinctively eat certain plants to treat themselves surely illnesses. In Asia, the practice of herbal medicine is extremely well established and documented; as a result, most of the medicinal plants that have international recognition come from China and India. In Europe and North America, the utilization of herbal medicine is increasing fast, especially for correcting imbalances caused by modern diets and lifestyles. Many people now take medicinal plant products on a day to day, to maintain good health the maximum amount on treat illness. The importance of medicinal plants and traditional health systems in solving the health care problems of the planet is gaining increasing attention.
