Ecologists know relatively little about the manner in which disturbance affects likelihood of alternative community stable states and how history assembly relationship between species diversity. Using microbial communities comprising bacterivorous ciliated protists assembled laboratory microcosms, we experimentally investigated these questions by independently manipulating intensity (in form density-independent mortality) (including a control treatment with simultaneous introduction five...
Ecologists disagree on how diversity affects stability. At the heart of controversy is relationship between and population stability, with conflicting findings from both theoretical empirical studies. To help reconcile these results, we propose that this may depend trophic complexity, such positive relations tend to emerge in multitrophic but not single‐trophic communities. This hypothesis based premise stabilizing weak interactions restrain oscillations associated strong diverse We tested...
A novel, alkali-tolerant halophilic bacterium-OKH with an ability to produce extracellular halophilic, alkali-tolerant, organic solvent stable, and moderately thermostable xylanase was isolated from salt salterns of Mithapur region, Gujarat, India. Identification the bacterium done based upon biochemical tests 16S rRNA sequence. Maximum production achieved at pH 9.0 37°C temperature in medium containing 15% NaCl 1% (w/v) corn cobs. Sugarcane bagasse wheat straw also induce when used as...
Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a green tea polyphenol possesses antioxidant, antibacterial, anticancer and antiviral properties. EGCG-Stearate (EGCG-S) is of interest for this study because its stability lipophilic The chemical modification EGCG-S increased lipid solubility. Herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1), member the family Herpesviridae, Alphaherpesvirinae subfamily leading cause human viral diseases in United States. In study, 25 μM, 50 75 100 μM EGCG were used to carry out cytotoxicity,...
