vitro antimicrobial activity of Sudanese Cucumis melo L. fixed oil was investigated. Agar cup diffusion assay was performed against two fungal species (Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger)‚ two gram positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis) and two gram negative bacteria (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa). Ampicillin‚ gentamycin and clotrimazole were used as positive controls. Antimicrobial activity was shown by all the species except E.coli and P. aeruginosa. Oil

Wars have been occurring since the dawn of time. Wars are states of armed conflict between societies that bring death‚ destruction‚ merciless slaughter and butchery‚ and starvation‚ poverty‚ ruin and disease in its wake. Apart from casualties during wars‚ a significant cause of death during most wars is disease. A clear example of this is the Mexican War of Independence. It was much more difficult to prevent deaths from tuberculosis during this war because of lack of knowledge of the disease‚ a

Tuberculosis is an infectious disease that triggers the formation of small swellings on mucous membranes. The disease itself is caused a bacillus called Mycobacterium tuberculosis and mainly affects the lungs‚ however the central nervous system‚ the lymphatic system‚ the circulatory system‚ the genitourinary system‚ bones‚ joints and even the skin also has a chance of being affected. Our body’s immune system responds to this infectious disease by having a group of white blood cells to try to identify

CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION Background of the Study Mangrove swamps are forested intertidal ecosystems that occupy sediment-rich sheltered tropical coastal environments. By trapping and stabilizing fine sediments‚ mangroves control the quality of marine coastal waters. Aside from maintaining coastal food webs and populations of animals‚ mangroves have an important role in pollution control through their absorptive capacity for organic pollutants and nutrients‚ and they play an important role in storm

History of DNA Technology During the early1960s‚ there was great progress being made in beginning to understand the structure of genes and the mechanisms of their replication‚ expression‚ and regulation in prokaryotes and the viruses that began to infect them (Berg 2010). However at the time it was still unknown as to whether or not these findings applied to eukaryotes. This is because the tools used at the time for exploring genetic properties were not fit for the task. By the spring of 1972‚ the

Anthropology 1: Human Evolution Recombinant DNA technology is defined as a series of procedures that are used to recombine DNA segments. A recombinant DNA molecule is constructed from segments of two or more different DNA molecules. Under certain circumstances‚ a recombinant DNA molecule can enter a cell and replicate‚ either on its own or after it has been integrated into a chromosome. Some examples of DNA technology are the insertion of bacterial DNA into certain crops‚ cloning‚ and genetically

The isolated bacteria were named initially as Bacillus bifidus communis‚ which was later renamed to the genus Bifidobacterium. He observed that Bifidobacteria is the dominant in the gut microflora of breast fed infants and also he observed the clinical advantages in using Bifidobacteria in treating infant

RESEARCH PAPER ON BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY OF ACTINOMYCETES ................ ABSTRACT: The microorganisms are ubiquitous in nature. They are found in probably every environmental condition present on earth. Actinomycetes were originally considered to be an intermediate group between bacteria and fungi but now are recognized as prokaryotic organisms with high G+C (>55%) content in their DNA. Our project aim is to evaluate some biological activities of Actinomycetes like:
