Chickpea seeds were inoculated individually and together with Rhizo...

Enzymes play a key role in producing important and useful products in our daily life. They act as biocatalysts that increase the rate of chemical reactions. A category of enzymes known as xylanases are hydrolyzing enzymes that hydrolyze the -1,4-xylan, the principal constituent of hemicelluloses, into xylose sugar. Xylanases are categorized as end...

Eichhornia crassipesis one of the most invasive and troublesome aquatic weed and causes serious ecological and financial harm to the aquatic ecosystem. Survey of water body, Taran Taaran taal of Datia (M.P) were conducted with the objective to isolate and evaluate the pathogenicity of native strains of fungal pathogens as biocontrol agent of Eichho...

An ethnomedicinal exploration of weeds of Jhansi district, located in the state of Uttar Pradesh in India, has been carried out to identify and find out the use of weeds to treat different ailments. Folklore people living in remote areas do not have easy access to hospitals or medical facilities, so they depend on the plants and weeds present in th...

Xylanases are the hydrolytic enzymes that degrade natural polysaccharide, xylan into xylose. In natural ecosystem number of microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi and actinomycetes has been found to secrete xylanases. The present study has been undertaken with an objective to screen out xylanase producing fungi from degrading litter collected from...

"Neuroscience for better tomorrow" is a brilliant exposure on anatomical structures of human brain, spinal cord, classification of nerves and neuron, descriptive neurophysiological and neuro-biochemical processes for control and coordination on various organs. Role of activator and inhibitor neurotransmitters. Neurological disorders, and techniques...

Biosciences and Bioengineering (BBB) is the book descriptive about various instruments and their functions as microscopy, chromatography, centrifugation, bioreactor, large scale fermenters, electrophoresis types, molecular techniques PCR, Genome sequencers, etc.

In this study, the effect of Rhizobium and mycorrhizal fungal spores were examined on Vigna radiata (Mung bean). Seeds of Mung bean var. PDM-139-SAMRAT were sown in plastic pots, in the mixture of half soil and half sand. Rhizobium and mycorrhizal fungal spores inoculated individually and in combination with mung seeds. After germination data have...

The surroundings in which we live comprises of numerous life forms such as birds, fishes, plants and trees. In simple terms, it is the variability and variety of living organisms together with ecological facilities in which they exist. Over the years, the biodiversity has been facing rapid depletion as a result of habitat loss, excessive exploitati...

Organic matter degradation ensures mineral recycling and soil fertility in ecosystems. Present study involves the study of nitrogen source in the degradation of leaf litter of Saccharum officinarum L. For this purpose urea has been selected as common nitrogen source and collected leaf litter was treated with different concentrations of urea such as...

Cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin are major components of lignocellulose and comprise the main composition of plant cell wall. Lignocellulosic waste not only provides alternative source of energy but also reduces our environmental concerns associated with traditional food supplies. The purpose of the study was to isolate and identify the fungal s...

Cellulases are the group of hydrolytic enzyme capable to hydrolyzing the most abundant lignocellulosic biomass to smaller sugar components. The present study has been carried out to isolate and screening of cellulolytic fungi from degrading leaf litter of Saccharum officinarum L. collected from Sonagir area of Datia district M.P. For this study tot...

This study aims to isolate xylanase-producing fungi, i.e., Aspergillus flavus, isolated from the litter of the Orchha forest, and efforts are made to culture fungi on cheaper agricultural substrates, i.e., wheat bran and corn cobs. After isolation, the xylanolytic activity was tested on the malt extract agar culture medium. Optimization of growth p...
