The results showed that  Aspergillus  niger  and  Peniclllium  funiculosum   were  more  common  fungi among other fungi isolated in this study  with  high  frequency. The appearance  percent  of  A. niger,  Peniclllium funiculosum reached to 100%, and A.versicolor appear with 75%, but the percent of A.ostianus  reached to 62.5%, as well as the results  obtained  that  A. fumigatus  appear with  low  percent  (25%). The results showed that the different sites in present study were no high effect on fungal diversity in a sediments of marshe because the similarity of environmental conditions in study sites. The results showed that A.niger, P.funicculosum were  the highest  resistance  to anthracene. The colony diameters  were  calculated  in  2, 5,  7 days in  the  2.0 mg  of  anthracene. Statistical methods  obtained no significant differences  between fungi, but obtained significant with the time of incubation  with  anthracene . The dry weight of both fungi were also resistant to anthracene. Mixed to fungal was appear A.niger + P.funiculosum the highest resistance to 2.0 mg anthracene in mineral salts medium. Also the  mycelial dry weight of  axenic  culture of  of P.funiculosum  was  higher than control ,but  the mycelia  dry weight of  of  axenic culture of A.niger  was lower than control. The statistical methods obtained non significant differences between fungi in polluted liquid medium with anthracene. The results showed that both fungi can degraded anthracene to other compounds.<#LINE#>Juhaz A.L. and Naidu R.

<#LINE#>Antimitotic Activity of Carica papaya Leaf Extract in the In Vitro Development of Sea Urchin, Tripneustes gratilla Embryo<#LINE#>Pedro@M. Gutierrez Jr. <#LINE#>12-17<#LINE#>2.ISCA-IRJBS-2016-067.pdf<#LINE#>Department of Biology, College of Arts and Sciences, Cebu Normal University, Cebu City, Philippines<#LINE#>19/5/2016<#LINE#>1/6/2016<#LINE#>This study aims to determine the antimitotic activity of the ethanolic leaf extract of C. papaya in the sea urchin (Tripneustes gratilla) embryo. The inhibition of cell proliferation of the crude extract in the sea urchin embryo was observed in three different concentrations (0.5%, 1.00% and 1.5%) of the extract and two control groups. The time interval of each developmental stage of sea urchin’s embryo treated with the different concentrations of the C. papaya extract was higher compared to negative control group. Comparing the results in cleavage of the experimental groups, the lowest concentration (0.50%) of the plant extract showed the fastest mitotic activity compared to other concentrations. On the other hand, the highest concentration (1.50%) showed the slowest embryonic development compared to other treatment concentrations. In addition, 0.50% concentration showed a comparable result with the positive control on the time interval during 2-cell and 4-cell stages. C. papaya leaf extract showed antimitotic activity in the sea urchin embryos. The inhibition of sea urchin’s proliferation in each developmental stage is dependent on the increase plant extract concentration. The mitotic activity inhibition of the various concentrations of the plant extract and the control group is also significantly different at 0.5 level of significant. Tukey pairwise comparison test result showed that most of the compared treatment groups have a significant difference between the time intervals of mitotic activity. In addition, the increasing concentration of the plant extract increased the time interval between developmental stages. The antimitotic ability of the extract can be attributed to the phytochemical component present in the plant. Previous studies revealed that phytochemical analysis of C. papaya contained saponins, cardiac glycosides, and alkaloids. The phytochemical component of C. papaya is a good indicator that its extract is suitable for a better pharmacological feature and a potent anti-cancer agent.<#LINE#>WHO (2000).

Microalgae play an important role with this problem and providing row material to produce the biodiesel. Biodiesel able to absorb CO2 from the atmosphere and making the environment pollution free. Microalgae having capacity to convert these simple substances in the atmosphere, absorbing sunlight and convert into chemical energy , microalgae having the capacity to reproduce or double in biomass within two to three days or 2 to 3 hrs.  Remaining biomass also be used as nutritional supplement and fodder for animals. There are some problems on production of biodiesel on large scale or industrial level, like cost of production of dry biomass and oil extraction.<#LINE#>Kapdan I.K. and Kargi F.

Postmenopausal weight gain is an alarm for women’s health which leads to hyperlipidemia and glucose intolerance. These events further lead to lifestyle-related diseases such as diabetes mellitus, arteriosclerosis, hypertension and metabolic syndrome. The aim of the present research was to study the effect of four less explored minor millets (Paspalum scrobiculatumL., Panicum sumatrense Rothex Roem. and Schult, Eichinochola frumentacea Link and setaria italic(L.) P. Beauv.) which are  less exploited for research on the metabolic profile of Ovariectomized rats. Twelve female wistar albino rats were grouped into four and only one group was fed with the feed prepared from the flour of the four minor millets mixture. The study was carried for 3 months and the body weight was measured weekly and blood sugar, HbA1c and lipid profile were measured monthly, whereas the other biochemical parameters were measured at the end of the experiment. The minor millets fed group showed significant (p‹ 0.05) improvement in the lipid profile and blood glucose whereas the body weight was under control. Thus the minor millets proved to be effective against the pathogenic condition of metabolic syndrome at the Menopausal stage.<#LINE#>Sachdeva A., Seth S., Khosla A.H., Sachdeva S.

Various medicinal plants are found promising against several seed borne fungi. In vitro studies were done by agar well method to evaluate antifungal activity of plant extracts. Six different plants were used to study antifungal activity against five different seed borne pathogenic fungi like Rhizopus stolonifer, Alternaria alternata, Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger and Fusarium oxysporium among these six medicinal plants four plants showed antifungal activity. Azadirachta indica showed highest activity and Capsium annum showed least activity against seed borne pathogenic fungi in vitro. From above result it is clear that these medicinal plants were used as antifungal agent for management of seed borne diseases.<#LINE#>Kavitha R.S. Umesha and H.S.

The protein from E. coli culture was subjected to salting out by ammonium sulphate precipitation till the saturation followed by dialysis using 1% sucrose solution for overnight. Further purification of protein from the isolate was carried out by ion-exchange chromatography. Column was developed using DEAE Cellulose for anion and Sephrose for cation exchanger. Elution buffer was used as mobile phase. Procedures were performed at room temperature. Elutions collected every five minutes were subjected to protein estimation by Lowry’s method using Bovine Serum Albumin as standard. The elution of protein from the isolate pe88 was subjected to SDS-PAGE using standarded molecular weight marker. The sample showed a single band close to 74 kDa after purification by column chromatography.<#LINE#>Hodson A.W. and Latner A.
