Aims: The aim of the study was to isolate and characterize exopolysaccharide (EPS) produced by Vibrio harveyi strain VB23. Methods Results: Growth EPS production V. VB23, studied in mineral salts medium supplemented with NaCl (1·5%) glucose (0·2%). rate batch cultures highest during late log phase growth when compared stationary phase. exopolymer recovered from culture supernatant using a cold ethanol precipitation–dialysis procedure. Chemical analyses revealed that it is primarily composed...
The rationale of the present study was to isolate and identify endophytic fungi from endemic medicinal plants in Eastern Ghats screened for antimicrobial potential isolated fungal crude extracts. A total 329 strains were 600 infected leaves stem cuttings plants. diversity species richness analyzed statistically found be higher leaf segments than segments. From strains, Cladosporium delicatulum identified using molecular identification methods selected as most potent plumbagin-producing...
Streptococcus pyogenes [group A streptococcus (GAS)], a human pathogen, and dysgalactiae subsp. equisimilis [human group G C (GGS/GCS)] are evolutionarily related, share the same tissue niche in humans, exchange genetic material, up to half of their virulence-associated genes cause similar spectrum diseases. Yet, GGS/GCS is often considered as commensal bacterium its role streptococcal disease burden under-recognized. While reports recovery from normally sterile sites increasing, studies...
A filamentous fungi F. equiseti strain ANP2 with good exopolysaccharide (EPS) yield, apparent viscosity was screened and isolated from Krishna estuarine mangrove sediments. Based on molecular characteristics the selected confirmed as equiseti, yielded EPS (4.9 ± 0.25 g/L) whole cell biomass (3.5 0.2 in MSM during early stationary phase. The crude purified by chromatography of Q-Sepharose Superdex-75, affording Ms MF-1 fractions were obtained, respectively. Chemical analyses revealed that is...
Andropause or male menopause is defined as androgen decline and onset of hypogonadism in the aging male. Testosterone deficiency adult associated with diabetes mellitus, coronary artery disease, heart failure. Type 2 diabetic patients aged above 30 years showed low testosterone levels which common men had symptoms hypogonadism. Male sexual dysfunction among can include disorders libido, ejaculatory problems, erectile dysfunctions are people diabetes, particularly older who for years. Older...
Mitochondrial displacement loop (D-loop) is a hot spot for mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) alterations that effects cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Manganese-superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD) major antioxidant enzyme protects cells from ROS-mediated damage. In the present study, we investigated relationship between sequence of D-loop and Mn-SOD expression in colorectal cancer (CRC). Genotyping entire (1124 bp) was carried out on mtDNA analogous tumor normal tissues 35 CRC patients...
Infection of the skin or throat by Streptococcus dysgalactiae subspecies equisimilis (SDSE) may result in a number human diseases. To understand mechanisms that give rise to new genetic variants this species, we used multi-locus sequence typing (MLST) characterise relationships SDSE population from India, country where streptococcal disease is endemic. The study revealed Indian isolates have types (STs) predominantly different those reported other regions world. Emm-ST combinations India are...
