Maximum amount of protein (3.43%) and fat (3.50%) were observed in S3 sample, whereas minimum protein (3.2%) and fat (3.13%) were resulted in S2 and S1 sample respectively. The UHT milk sample S2 showed the highest acidity (0.19%), whereas the S1 sample showed the lowest value (0.17%). Significant (p<0.05) differences in physico-chemical compositions of UHT milk samples were resulted and all samples failed to maintain standards for solids not fat (SNF) of UHT milk recommended by BSTI. However, all UHT milk samples were proved to be fresh based on COB and alcohol test. Except added water, adulterant was not found in selected UHT milk samples. The statistical analysis showed that S3 sample was significantly (p<0.05) superior and nutritionally most accepted than other UHT milk samples available in Bangladesh.<#LINE#>Neumann C.G., Harris D.M. and Rogers L.M.

Ajoba fort is a part of Western Ghats. The overall zoogeography of the study area supports and flourishes a very rich biodiversity. It holds a great biodiversity of flora and fauna due to its naturally rich habitat and food chain complex. The survey was conducted during September 2012 to August 2014. This survey reported total 85 species from 43 families which belong to 17 avifaunal orders. Order Passeriformes is dominant in the study area, including 20 families and 36 species (42%), followed by order Ciconiiformes, Coraciiformes and Accipitriformes (8% apiece). Like other protected areas of the country the Ajoba fort and surrounding area is also facing conservation challenges hence, more intensive studies will certainly help to control the impact of anthropogenic alteration of the habitats in and around the present study location.<#LINE#>Grimmit R. et. al.

Yoghurt starter cultures i.e. Lactobacillus bulgaricus FNCC 040 and Streptococcus thermophilus FNCC 041, and L. plantarum Dad 13 were separately mixed with 10% w/v of rice flour solution (2:1) and spray dried. The viable cells of each culture was enumerated before and after spay drying. The low pH tolerance and bile salt sensitivities of spray dried L. plantarum Dad 13 were evaluated. Spray-dried powder of yogurt starter cultures and L. plantarum Dad 13 were applied for yoghurt production, and compared its properties to yoghurt made by freeze-dried cultures. The results showed that the decrease in viable cells of yoghurt starter cultures and L. plantarum Dad 13 was less than 1 log cycle, and the amount of viable cells for all cultures were maintained at 109 CFU/g during the storage at 4°C for 4 weeks. Spray-dried L. plantarum Dad13 was resistant to pH 3.0 and this strain remained at fairly high concentration even after 3 h at pH 3.0. Its sensitivity to bile salt increase with the increase in bile salt concentration. Supplementation of L. plantarum Dad 13 to yoghurt starter cultures produced yoghurt with comparable microbiological and chemical characteristics of yoghurt made from freeze dried cultures. Addition of L. plantarum Dad 13 to yoghurt preparation resulted in lower lactose content in yoghurt.<#LINE#>Rahayu E.S.

The sensitivity test of these isolates to the antibiotics was showed that all isolates were resistant of the used antibiotics except Amikacin, Tobramicin and Flucloxacillin. The ability of these isolates for swarming were tested the result showed that all isolates were able to swarming (dendritic swarming pattern). There was differences in swarming shapes among same infection and different source of infections on the semisolid surface (0.5-1)% agar plates, then these isolates were tested to evaluated the present pilB gene (type IV fimbrial biogensis protein) by PCR technique using specific primers, the result of PCR showed that this gene was moderately distribution (51.8)% in all studied isolates, since the result showed that this gene was widely disseminated in urine isolates 8/9(89)% while was 3/9(33.3)% in each of blood and burns isolates. These results clearly favored conclusion that differences swarming shapes in Pseudomonas aeruginos a from isolate to another may be the isolates have difference virolence factors for infection and it is important in all types of infections while prevalence of pilB gene perhaps related to infection site, there are no relationship between pilB gene presence and swarming motility.<#LINE#>Alfred E.

Morphometric study of retinacula from the members of Acanthoideae has been done to understand the significance of its shape variation in phylogentic context. The monophyly of the sub-tribes Andrographinae and Barleriinae of Acanthoideae are supported by their unique kinds of retinacular shape. The overlapping distribution of the species of Ruellinae and Justiciinae in 2D scattered plot based on retinacular shape is also supported the link between these two sub-tribes which was established by molecular phylogenetic studies. Therefore retinacular shape variations within Acanthoideae are important for its phylogenetic interpretation.<#LINE#>Lindau G. (1895).@Acanthaceae, In: Engler A. and Prantl,K.

It is located in the north-west of India. It encompasses most area of the Great Indian Desert (Thar Desert). It makes the western territory of the country. Rajasthan state has a water spread area of 3 lacs hectare including large reservoirs, medium reservoirs, and tanks in villages, canals, seasonal water, rivers and logged areas. Protozoa is a diverse group of unicellular organisms and is an important component of the zooplankton community of a water body. The present study was undertaken to observe the seasonal fluctuations in diversity of protozoans in Sadul Branch of Sirhind Feeder in Hanumangarh (29º5’ to 30º6’ north latitude and 74º3’ to 75º3’ east longitudes). The present observations were made for a period of 12 months (July 2013 to June 2014). The protozoans were collected with plankton net. The study revealed the occurrence of 10 species of protozoans, among these 5 species of Mastigophora, 4 species of Ciliata and 1 species of Sarcodina were recorded.<#LINE#>Edmondson W.T.

Mix flour was prepared by using 5 parts of amaranth flour, 2.5 parts of sorghum flour, 2.5 parts of oats flour and the remaining was wheat flour. Composite flour (CF) was prepared by replacing wheat flour with mix flour at various proportions i.e. 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25%. The composite flour was used to prepare buns. Physical and sensory analysis of bun was carried out. The protein, fat, mineral, fiber and energy value increased with increase in blending proportions. The volume of bun decreased with increase in substitution. The bun prepared by 15% substitution was having maximum yield. The crust colour of the composite flour bun formed by 15% blend was relatively white with higher L* values as compared to other samples. Overall, bun prepared by 15% substitution was highly acceptable as compared to other buns.<#LINE#>Lee S., Inglet G.E. and Carriere C.J.

In the present study, response of Lavandula vera to in vitro conditions was observed for callus production and subsequent regeneration. Surface sterilization of seeds was carried out followed by inoculation on MS medium for callus production, supplemented with 0.2 mg L-1 BAP + 0.2 mg L-1 NAA. Induction of shooting from callus tissue was carried out using various plant growth regulators in different ratios - BAP (1 and 3 mg L-1 for 2% and 0.5, 1, 2 and 3 mg L-1 for 3% medium respectively), Indole-3-butyric acid or IBA (1, 2 and 3 mg L-1 1 for 2% medium), NAA (1 and 2 mg L-1 for 2% medium) and Kinetin (1 and 4 mg L-1 for 2% medium). Increased callus proliferation was observed as opposed to shoot induction, indicating a negative relationship between the two. From this, we can infer that alternative hormones in different concentrations may be required for regeneration of plantlets from callus tissue. Similar results were observed for increased levels of sucrose in combination with varying concentrations of BAP, which may be attributed to the type of plant growth regulator used, or different culture conditions. Production of blue pigments was observed with certain concentrations of BAP and with change in sucrose concentration, which may shed light on the requirements for secondary metabolite production, which would open up new avenues for obtaining compounds in vitro from callus tissue, thus preventing over-exploitation of these plants for their essential oils.<#LINE#>Jahan N., Mustafa R., Zaidi M.A., Mansoor A., Khan J.and Baluch D.
