In this study, dual culture, poison agar, and direct methods were used to assess the ability of Trichoderma virens IMI-392430, T. pseudokoningii IMI-392431, harzianum IMI-392432, IMI-392433, IMI-392434 control Ceratocystis paradoxa, which causes pineapple disease sugarcane. The highest percentage inhibition radial growth (PIRG) values observed with IMI-392432 using two culture methods, 63.80% in Method I 80.82% II. minimum colony overgrowth time was maximum IMI-392431. Different...

To examine how UVC affects the different genera of fungi commonly isolated from grapes, with aim understanding changes in mycobiota during grape ripening and possible applications for preventing decay storage.Spores Aspergillus carbonarius, niger, Cladosporium herbarum, Penicillium janthinellum Alternaria alternata (between 100-250 spores/plate agar) were irradiated 0 (control), 10, 20, 30, 60, 300 600 s. Plates incubated at 25 degrees C colonies counted daily up to 7 days. carbonarius most...

Background: Electrolyte imbalances are a common finding in hospitalized children, especially those with infections. Infections interfere the body's normal fluid and electrolytes balance as well various factors also contribute to electrolyte imbalances. Sometimes medicine used treatment of infections contributes abnormalities. Usually, types abnormalities found among hospital admitted children Hyponatremia, Hypernatremia, Hypokalemia, Hyperkalemia, Hypocalcemia etc. Objective: To find out...

Neonatal sepsis is a major cause of mortality and morbidity in newborn, particularly developing countries. The spectrum bacteria which causes neonatal varies different parts the world. organisms responsible for early onset late are different. objective study was undertaken to determine pattern bacterial isolates based on presence one or more clinical signs, its outcome. A cross- sectional prospective carried out special care baby unit (SCABU) from November 2008 September 2009 under...

To evaluate the impact of modified atmosphere packaging on in vitro growth Aspergillus carbonarius and niger, possible effects ochratoxin A (OTA) biosynthesis.Ochratoxigenic isolates belonging to species A. niger were grown a synthetic grapejuice medium (SNM) packaged combinations controlled O(2) (1% 5%) CO(2) levels (0% 15%), air as control. Colony diameters recorded every 3 days up 21 days, OTA was analysed after 7, 14 days. The greatest reductions mycelial rate observed at 1% followed by...

Hypoglycemic effects were investigated in the ethanolic extract of fruits Phyllanthus emblica Linn. with long evans rats (100-120 g). Residual gut sucrose content, perfusion and disaccharidase activity studies carried out to assess these activities. The residual content study was reveal amount remaining gastro intestinal tract (GIT) at six different segments. fruit significantly increases throughout after ingestion. Study on enzyme showed that caused a significant (p 0.05), dose dependent...

Fifteen Aspergillus species were used to evaluate their potentialities for cellulase production under submerged fermentation. The isolates grown on carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) agar medium detection of activity andAspergillus oryzae S/92Gbr exhibited maximum clear zone (40 mm) around the colony. Protein content and filtrates determined biomass was harvested from culture. All species produced significant (p<0.05) amount reducing sugar protein; showed correlation with protein level. Biomass...

Thiamine (vitamin B1) was the first B vitamin which has been identified. It serves as a cofactor for several enzymes involved in energy metabolism. The thiamine-dependent are important biosynthesis of neurotransmitters and production reducing substances used oxidant stress defenses, well synthesis pentose nucleic acid precursors. also plays central role cerebral There 2 major manifestations thiamine deficiency(TD): cardiovascular disease (wet beriberi) nervous system (dry beriberi...

Objective : To determine the common causative bacterial agents of neonatal sepsis and their antimicrobial susceptibility in NICUMethods Newborns with clinical signs septicemia positive blood culture during twelve months were prospectively studied. Samples for cultures, complete count, C-reactive protein, sugar, electrolytes obtained ; ampicillin gentamycin started empirically.Result Seven hundred three neonates investigated to rule out sepsis. The male, female ratio was 1.3:1 56(63.63%)...
