Article: Anupam Dikshit, Amit K. Tiwari, Rohit K. Mishra, Ahsan Kamran, Anand Pandey, Awadhesh Kumar and A.K. Bajaj and (2012). Botanicals for the management of dandruff. Medicinal Plants; 4(2): 55-64; DOI : 10.5958/j.0975-4261.4.2.009

ABSTRACT: Dandruff is a common problem affecting the scalp and it troubles about 50% of population during their life and causes significant discomfort. It can be an embarrassing situation. It is characterized by the flakes on the scalp. Its prevalence and severity is greatest in young men. The present article discusses about microbial etio-pathology, clinical manifestation and various treatment methods available for control of dandruff. Although a variety of antifungal agents are available in the market for the treatment of dandruff, yet complete control is far from the reach. The available products and drugs are unable to prevent recurrence. The daily use of many shampoos makes hair dull and the chemical contents have their own negative effects. The present review elaborates that botanicals are more beneficial with less side effects than commercially available synthetics.Medicinal Plants. 08/2012; 4(2):55-64. -

Article: Role of Phylogenetic Analysis for Anti-bacterial Activity of Essential Oil of Trachyspermum Ammi L. Against Water Borne Pathogens

ABSTRACT: In developing countries the unsafe drinking water is the main cause of several human fatal diseases of bacterial origin. The phylogenetic relationships of five water borne bacterial pathogens were determined with help of ClustalW computer program using their ITS1 sequences of the aligned standard strains. In the present study the essential oil of Trachyspermum ammi L. extracted by hydrodistilation process and their bio-active constituents were analyzed by the Gas Chromatography and Mass Spectroscopy. In vitro antibacterial activity of essential oil was tested against Escherichia coli (ATCC-25922); Escherichia coli (MTCC-723); Vibrio Cholerae (MTCC-3906); Salmonella typhimurium (MTCC-98) and Shigella dysenteriae (ATCC-23513) using Broth Microdilution method recommended by CLSI (NCCLS). The essential oil of T. ammi exhibited the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) against E. coli (ATCC) 0.087 mg/ml, V. cholerae 0.107 mg/ml, S. typhimurium 0.109 mg/ml, E. coli (MTCC) 0.128 mg/ml, S. dysenteriae 0.162 mg/ml respectively. The in vitro susceptibility testing indicated that the essential oil of T. ammi L. was most potent antibacterial tool for water borne bacterial diseases originated by contaminated drinking water.Advances in Environmental Biology USA 5(6): 1278-2011; ISSN: 1995-0756. 01/2011; 5:1271-1278. -
Article: Culture filtrate antibiosis of Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria PGPRs against phytopathogens infecting medicinal and aromatic plants
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Application of culture filtrate of two isolates of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPRs) i.e. Bacillus subtilis MA-2 and Pseudomonas fluorescens MA-4 inhibited the growth of phtytopathogens infecting selected medicinal and aromatic plants, indicating that suppression was due to antifungal compounds in the filtrate. 4 to 6 days old Culture filtrate of Bacillus subtilis isolates MA-2 completely inhibited the growth of Alternaria alternata and Curvularia andropogonis. While Fusarium moniliformae and Colletotrichum acutatum is comparatively less inhibition by 75%, and 82.4% respectively over control at 10% concentration. Culture filtrate of Pseudomonas fluorescens isolates MA-4 also showed less effective against Fusarium moniliformae (81.3%) and Colletotrichum acutatum (76.5%). Antibiosis results of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria responded effectively in vitro against several slow growing phytopathogenic fungi. 3 days old culture filtrate of Bacillus subtilis showed excellent spore germination inhibition 82% against Curvularia andropogonis, while in case of Pseudomonas fluorescens inhibited 82.7% spore germination against Alternaria alternata followed by 70.6%, 67.6% and 67.3% in case of Curvularia andropogonis, Fusarium moniliforme and Colletotrichum acutatum respectively over control at 60% concentration. Thus, these isolates were multiplied on the suitable substrates and used in alone or in different combinations to evaluate their influence on the productivity and disease management of several medicinal and aromatic plants.International Journal of Research in Pure and Applied Microbiology; 1 (3): 36-39. 01/2011; 1:45-51. -
