fungus is a member of a large group of eukaryotic organisms (Bryden‚ 2007).Fungi is considered important microorganisms‚ because of its beneficial role in human life; it has been used for many purposes such as in medicinal manufacturing‚ industries‚ food production‚ and plant nutrient supplements. Also it has role in cycling of carbon in the atmosphere‚ since it is main decomposers of organic matter (kavanagh‚ 2011). Fungi can be found naturally everywhere in the environment; in food‚ water‚ air

Squalene is a linear triterpene formed via the MVA or MEP biosynthetic pathway and is widely distributed in bacteria‚ fungi‚ algae‚ plants‚ and animals. Metabolically‚ squalene is not only used as a precursor in the synthesis of complex secondary metabolites such as sterols‚ hormones‚ and vitamins‚ but also as a carbon source in aerobic and anaerobic fermentation in micro-organisms. Owing to the increasing roles of squalene as an antioxidant‚ anticancer‚ and anti-inflammatory agent‚ the demand for

Mushroom Termitomyces clypeatus Secondary metabolites abstract Fungi are of excellent value nutritionally‚ and of great importance to vegetarians. Edible mushrooms are excellent sources of protein‚ have low-fat content and are free of cholesterol. They are easily cultivable and are consumed either in fresh or processed form. Yeasts and filamentous fungi secrete a plethora of important enzymes in the growth medium together with other secondary metabolites. Most of these are hydrolytic in

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: • Antimicrobial activity • Oil degradation capability • Enzymatic

diseases are often linked with the pathogenic microorganisms. Microorganisms include the wide variety of organisms including bacteria‚ fungi‚ protozoa‚ planktons‚ and others. These organisms can only be seen with the aid of microscopes. The researcher did an alcohol extract that was used for the phytochemical analysis and found out that it contains second metabolites such as Tannins and Polyphenolic compounds that has an anti-microbial property.
