To isolate plant growth-promoting bacterium from Western Ghat forests in India.A Gram-negative, rod shaped, cream white coloured strain Pantoea NII-186 isolated soil sample. The taxonomic position of the was confirmed by sequencing 16S rRNA and phylogenetic analysis. A grew at a wide range temperature ranging 5-40 degrees C, but optimum growth observed 28-30 C. It showed multiple attributes such as phosphate solubilization activity, indole acetic acid (IAA) production, siderophore production...
A Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterial strain, NII-0905(T) [corrected], that was motile by gliding isolated from soil of a dense forest collected the Western Ghats India and its taxonomic position established. Strain [corrected] contained MK-7 as major menaquinone anteiso-C(17 : 0), anteiso-C(15 iso-C(16 0) iso-C(15 cellular fatty acids. The DNA G+C content strain 51.47 mol%. 16S rRNA gene sequence-based phylogenetic analysis confirmed placement in genus Pontibacter exhibited 93.9-96.3 %...
Ticks of the genus Rhipicephalus infesting cattle are primary animal pests responsible for annual economic loss billions dollars. Due to morphological resemblance among members (Boophilus) genus, species identification is very difficult. In this study, adult R. annulatus and microplus ticks from two south Indian states viz., Kerala Karnataka were subjected molecular characterization. The isolates India differed morphologically true clade A ticks. ventral spur on first pedipalp observed in...
ABSTRACT A new indigenous soil bacterium Pantoea strain NII-153 utilizing phenol as a sole carbon source was isolated and characterized. Phylogenetic analysis suggested its classification to the Enterobacteriaceae family, with 95.0% gene sequence similarity ananatis ATCC 33244. Biodegradation rates of by were found be more effective at 64 h initial concentration 600 mg L− 1 this is first report such activity in species. Strain has showed high tolerance (900 1). Therefore, could used for...
Results of microscopical examination clinical samples from domestic and wild animals for an 11 year period 2005 to 2015 submitted the Department Veterinary Parasitology, College Animal Sciences, Pookode were compiled in present study understand prevalence parasitic diseases Northern Kerala, South India. Majority collected belonging districts Kerala viz., Kasaragod, Kannur, Wayanad, Kozhikode Palakkad. A total 2,473 fecal samples, 2,183 peripheral blood smears, 92 skin scrapings 12 nasal...
In the present study, 111 blood samples were collected from apparently healthy cats belonging to four districts of Kerala, southern India, and they investigated for presence hemoparasites hemoplasmas by light microscopic examination polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The Giemsa-stained smears did not reveal any parasites/organisms. However, PCR followed nucleotide sequencing could detect 10 (9.01%) out infected with Hepatozoon felis , 3 (2.70%) Cytauxzoon spp., Mycoplasma spp. None revealed...
Summary Bertiella spp. is a mite-borne cestode parasite that inhabits the small intestine of wide range mammals, including non-human primates. In present study, morphological and molecular analysis studeri recovered from bonnet macaque ( Macaca radiata ) Wayanad, Kerala (South India) was performed. Acetic alum carmine staining identified morphologically based on characters like broader proglottids, which contain irregularly alternating genital pores, single set reproductive organs, 280...
The bacillary white diarrhea disease is one of the most threaten in poultry birds especially broilers, caused by Salmonella pullorum.The major sign this are diarrhea, appetence, depression, ruffled feathers, closed eyes, loud chirping, vent pasting, gasping, and lameness.The Trichosanthes dioica (family: Cucurbitaceae), commonly known as "Sespadula & Pointed gourd" English, "Parwal" Hindi "Kovakka" Tamil, widely grown throughout India.The leaves plant have also been used traditional system...
