The present study was aimed to evaluate the antibacterial capability of fucoidan from Sargassum wightii against chosen human bacterial pathogens. major chemical constituents extracted were analyzed by biochemical methods. It showed that contains 52.86 ± 0.64% fucose and 29.26 0.83% sulphate. efficacy performed agar well diffusion, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) (MBC) method. maximum activity 18.6 0.32 mm obtained for Vibrio cholera 8.6 0.26 Salmonella typhi. Result this manifested...
Response surface methodology (RSM) was used to enhance the biomass and lipid content in Nannochloropsis salina due its economic importance. Preliminary screening results revealed that heterotrophically cultivated N. with various carbon nitrogen sources yielded higher (0.91 ± 0.0035 g/L) (37.1 0.49 mg/L) than of photoautotrophical cultivation (0.21 0.009 g/L 22.16 0.27 mg/L). Significant greatly influenced on alga were optimized through RSM. The medium consisting glucose (7.959 g/L), sodium...
The present study was performed to identify the tail rot disease causing bacterium in marine ornamental fish, Amphiprion sebae. Bacteria were isolated from infected immune organs and region of A. Five different bacterial isolates (S1-S5) with shape, size colour chosen for infection study. strains individually challenged sebae at a constant dose 1 × 107 CFU/fish. virulent strain found be S-3, which showed maximum reproducing ability by typical mortality. Furthermore, S-3 identified as Vibrio...
This study was carried out to determine the effect of seaweed polysaccharide, fucoidan from brown seaweed, Sargassum wightii , on Penaeus monodon postlarvae (PL) against white spot syndrome virus (WSSV). The extracted S. and yield observed as 2.832 ± 0.204%. Artemia franciscana nauplii were enriched with at four different concentrations (100, 200, 300, 400 mg/L) fed shrimp P. PL for 20 d. After feeding experiment, challenged WSSV, mortality percentage recorded daily up 21 During challenge...
Study on the accumulation level of heavy metals was conducted sediment and fishes from estuaries Bay Bengal. Heavy were determined by using Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometer (ICP-OES) results compared to permissible limits WHO/USEPA. The patterns Fe Cd found predominantly in all samples tested when correlated with other metals. It that concentration such as (3.90 ± 0.25 μg/g), Cr (0.44 0.05 Ni (0.33 0.01 Mn (1.1 0.11 μg/g) exceeding limit, whereas Fe, Co, Pb, Zn within...
The present study was designed to investigate the efficiency of lipid-enriched brood stock diets on reproductive performance, such as fecundity, egg volume, fatty acid profile newly extruded (stage 1) embryos and starvation threshold hatched larvae marine ornamental 'hinge-beak' shrimp Rhynchocinetes durbanensis Gordon. Three dietary treatments (50, 100 150 g/kg lipids) were formulated understand their influence reproduction R. under captive condition compared with wild-caught shrimps...
