Mangiferin from the leaves has been reported to possess anti-inflammatory‚ diuretic‚ chloretic and cardio tonic activities and displays a high antibacterial activity against gram positive bacteria. Mango leaves were boiled for 5-10 minutes and extract were given to the mice. As the results of the recorded data‚ shows that the calculated F of 3.29 was higher than the table F of 2.8661 at 0.05% level of significance. There is

CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION 1. ENTEROCOCCUS FAECALIS AND STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS OUTLINE The Human indigenous micro flora consists of opportunistic pathogens along with other nonpathogenic bacterial strains. Two eloquent members of the category of gram- positive bacteria‚ Enterococcus faecalis and Staphylococcus aureus belong to this category. Being a facultative anaerobe‚ aero tolerant anaerobe respectively‚ both of these organisms inhabited the human body for centuries. Ability to thrive in extreme condition

difficile and why is it relevant to us? A.“Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) is a bacterium that may develop due to the prolonged use of antibiotics during healthcare treatments.” 1 B. “Clostridium difficile is an obligate anaerobe or microaerophilic‚ gram-positive‚ spore- forming‚ rod-shaped bacillus.” 2 II. What are the signs and symptoms of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI)? A. C. difficile can cause symptoms ranging from diarrhea to life-threatening inflammation of the colon (pseudomembranous

The spot inoculation method was followed for antifungal activity of bacterial strain Paenibacillus elgii TS33 25. The nutrient agar medium was prepared‚ sterilized at 121ºC‚ poured into the sterilized peteriplates and allowed to solidify under aseptic conditions. After solidification bacterial strain Paenibacillus elgii TS33 was spot inoculated on nutrient agar medium and incubated at 37ºC for 48 hours. After incubation the molten potato dextrose agar medium containing the spores of test fungus‚

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the biodegradability and the toxicity of vegetable oils in comparison with the reference mineral-based oils. In the research paper produce by Tamada et al. (2012)‚ carried out an investigation on the biodegradability of vegetable oils and the impact of toxicity of vegetable oils to the environment. The experiment was first started off‚ by establishing the concentration of oil to be biodegraded in the soil for the toxicity test. The concentration of oils that

This semester while we worked through this unit‚ we were trying to figure out why Addie got so sick and how we could look at the juncos as a comparison study. We learned about the relationship that antibiotics and bacteria have by looking at our NetLogo Simulation and Petri Dish Lab. Also‚ we learned about various CDC recommendations for using antibiotics and preventing bacterial illnesses. When we looked at the juncos‚ we were able to learn how common ancestry works within any species. Throughout

Title: - Infrared Spectroscopy‚ Boiling point and Melting point. Introduction: - Infrared spectroscopy has also made a break though in medicine. It used to evaluate the kidney stone diseases thus broadening the use of IR in different ways. The purpose of this lab experiment is to identify the unknown solutions using the Infrared Spectroscopy (IR)‚ boiling point‚ and melting point (1). The IR helps to determine the compounds such as a functional group. In order to analyze the compound‚ IR and melting

ABSTRACT Purpose: To evaluate the antifungal and cytotoxicity activity of four medicinal plants like Mystroxylon aethiopicum‚ Lonchocarpus capassa‚ Albizia anthelmentica and Myrica salicifolia. Methods: Microdilution method and brine shrimp lethality test were employed to evaluate antifungal and cytotoxicity of plant extracts. Results: Lonchocarpus capassa leaf extracts exhibited antifungal activity against tested fungal strains with MIC range of 0.78 – 3.125 mg/mL with LCLA extract inhibiting C

The antifeedant activity of the extracts choice and no-choice test methods‚ after 24 and 48 hours in each test‚ against 7 day old (3rd instar) larvae of S. litura on castor leaves. Stock solutions of the test compounds were prepared in the carrier solvents. Further dilution was done in emulsified water by maintaining emulsifier (Tween – 80) level at 0.5 % to yield various concentrations. Castor leaf discs (4 cm diameter) were punched out from the washed and dried castor leaves. Leaf discs were dipped
