Today, no one science can be studied in isolation. Trans-disciplinary Research is defined as

research efforts conducted by investigators from different disciplines working jointly to create new

conceptual, theoretical, methodological, and translational innovations that integrate and move beyond

discipline-specific approaches to address common problem. Trans-disciplinary approaches have

become necessary. Some of the revolutionary discoveries in Biological Science like the double helix

coil of life (i.e. DNA) are due to the developments in Chemical and Physical Sciences. Plants and

animals are one of Earth’s greatest resources. They are sources of food, medicines and materials with

vast economic and cultural importance. The plants stabilize ecosystems and form the habitats that

sustain the planet’s animal and microbial life. Both plants and animals are also threatened by climate

change, the environmental factors and human interaction. Each species has its own unique

characteristics and in a world that is increasingly moving towards a global bioeconomy, each

organism is a potential source of materials that are of benefit to mankind.

Over the centuries new technologies were/and are being developed to sustainably use both living

and nonliving resources to provide goods and services. Of over estimated about 8 million living

organisms on earth less than 2 million species have been documented since the beginning of scientific

study of living organisms. Continuous efforts are made to understanding their relationships rather

than making concerted efforts to complete their documentation and conservation to sustainably utilise

them. Simultaneously new technologies like biotechnology are developed to meet ever growing needs

of exploding human populations, to maintain balance of reducing populations of other living things

with which we share this planet and the ever degrading habitats and ecosystems essential for

continued existence of life on earth. Briefly the emerging trends in biodiversity and biotechnology are

presented here.

ABSTRACT

The field tials were carried out to study the effect of organic manures and inorganic

fertilizers on growth and yield of soybean crop (Glycine max L.). The experiment was

conducted by Randomized complete Block Design (RCBD) method and soybean variety

(Mahabeej) was used for cultivation. The fertilizer treatments consists of urea, 18-18, 12-32-

16, FYM, poultry manures, compost manures and control crop was without treatment. The

observation revealed that the poultry manures+18-18 and FYM +18-18 fertilizers had

significant effect on stem diameter, number of branches, plant height and number of leaves at

30, 60, and 90 days after sowing the crop while FYM+18-18 had significant effect on plant

weight as compared to the control. The results showed that poultry manures and nitrogen

fertilizers increased the number of seeds per pod as compared to the control. The application

of Urea showed significant colour of plant. There was no significant difference among

fertilizers treatments for pod weight per plant, number of seeds per plant.

Keywords: Soybean variety, Organic manures, Inorganic Fertilizers, Poultry Manure, Yield.

Geochemistry of groundwater in an agricultural area of Hingoli,

Maharashtra, India

1Salve P. L., and 2Gaikwad S.G., 2Aher K.R,

1Deputy Director, Groundwater Survey and Development Agency, GSDA, Deputy Director

office, Near SAO Office, Osmanpura, Aurangabad-431001

office, Near SAO Office, Osmanpura, Aurangabad-431001

ABSTRACT

The area in Hingoli district, Maharashtra is selected to discuss the groundwater

quality on irrigation and human health, where the agriculture is the main livelihood of rural

people and the groundwater is the main source for irrigation and drinking, therefore the study

was conducted to evaluate factors regulating groundwater quality in an area with agriculture

as main use. 75 groundwater samples have been collected from Hingoli District (India) for

pH, EC, TDS, TA, TH, Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, K+, CO32-, HCO3-, Cl-, SO42-, NO3-and F-to

understand the sources of dissolved ions and assess the chemical quality of the groundwater.

A comparison of the groundwater quality in relation to drinking water quality standards

proves that groundwater quality at same places are not suitable for drinking, The correlation

of the analytical data has been attempted by plotting different graphical representations such

as Wilcox and US Salinity Laboratory for the classification of water, and results show that

groundwater at same places also not fit for irrigation. The high values of electrical

conductivity and high concentrations of Na+, Cl−, SO42− and NO3− in the groundwater

appeared to be caused by the dissolution of mineral phases and would appeared to be caused

by anthropogenic activities, such as intense agricultural practices i.e. application of fertilizers,

ABSTRACT

Seed-borne Alternaria species are isolated from different variety of cereals and pulses

seeds. Five different variety of cereals and pulses seeds are used. Alternaria alternata is

most frequently isolated species on all five type of cereals and pulses followed by A.

tenuissima, A. crassa. A. triticum etc. determined by plating the seed on both agar plate

method (APM) and Standard blotter paper method (BPM) and medicinal plants leaf extracts.

Neem , Tulsi, Hibiscus, in different concentration of leaf extract were used from 10% to 50%

concentration were evaluated against two common species of Alternaria isolated from cereals

and pulses. The result revealed that all the plant extract inhibited the growth of mycelium.

Effect of all type of plants were varied in various concentration of leaf extract. Whereas

lowest growth inhibition record in 10% leaf extact concentration. Seed treatment at 30% leaf

extract concentration in all the species are found to be effective in reducing the relative of

seed-borne Alternaria species occurring on the seeds and also increase percentage of seed

germination. Leaf extract of medicinal plant inhibited growth of Alternaria species on seed

and useful for seed germination.

2Department of Botany Arts, Commerce and Science College, Kille Dharur. (MS) 431124.

ABSTRACT

In the present study the variety of cluster bean namely Ankur Rani was used to induce genetic

variability. For these study two chemical mutagens, namely EMS of different concentration

such as 0.05%, 0.10%, 0.15% and SA of different concentration such as 0.01%, 0.02% and

0.03% were used. The seeds of variety Ankur Rani of Cluster bean were obtained from Local

market of Aurangabad (Maharashtra). These seeds were subjected to mutagenesis by using

chemical mutagens. M1 generation was raised and effect of these mutagens on different

parameters like germination percentage, seedling height, leaf morphological changes,

chlorophyll chimeras, pollen sterility, plant survival percentage and morphological mutation

was studied. Both the mutagens had shown an inhibitory effect on seed germination. The

0.15% EMS showed highest germination percentage. The 0.03% SA showed lowest

germination percentage. Seedling height was found to increase as concentration of both the

mutagens. But exceptionally it is found to be decreased in 0.03% SA concentration. In all the

treatments the leaves of plants exhibited variations Bi and tri furcation of leaf lamina and

Distorted leaf lamina. Survival of plant at maturity was found to be decreased at higher

concentration of mutagens. The highest percentage was shown by EMS (0.05%). The lowest

percentage was shown by SA (0.03%).

Department of Botany,

Balbhim Arts Science And Commerce College , Beed. 431122. (Maharashtra).

ABSTRACT

Indian agriculture achieving self sufficiency in food grain production since from

independence. In spite of having huge live stock the milk and other animal products

production is not satisfactory. This is due to malnutrition and under nutrition among them. To

enhance animal productivity the nutritious fodder crops, forage must grow with supplements.

The supplements are fertilizers particularly nitrogen (N) fertilizer. N – fertilizer favors

luxurious vegetative growth of fodder and also changes its ensilaging characters. Fertilizers

application produces silage with high protein content. If fertilizers application is linked up

with mechanical treatment like maceration and subsequent pressing, a good silage could be

made from non-leguminous crop.

Sarwade B. P.* R.P. Patil &M. A. Kare *Department of Botany, Swami Vivekanand Senior College, Mantha, Dist Jalna

Department of Botany, Pratishthan Mahavidyalaya Paithan, Dist. Aurangabad

ABSTRACT

The aim of the present investigation was to find out the effect of leaf litter compost

prepared by aerobic (NADEP) and anaerobic (Bangalore) pit methods on Nutrient content in

beet root (Beta vulgaris L.). The field experiment was conducted in research farm of Dr.

Babasaheb Ambedkar Marathwada University, Aurangabad. The experiment was conducted

in plots of size 150 x 150 cm with six treatments and four replications. The composts were

used as NADEP, Bangalore method (compost), vermicompost and Dung treatment separately

in comparison with recommended fertilizer (N40:P30:K30 Kg/ha) and absolute control. The

beet root was sown by the method of ridges and furrows at the seed rate of 10 Kg/ha. The

Nutrient content in beet root was estimated at 70 DAS (days after sowing). The sample of

beet root was kept in oven for drying, grinded to a fine powder and it was used for the

estimation of Nutrient content. The leaf litter composts increased the yield and nutrient

content of beet root. Beet root are biennial plants grown as annuals and harvested for their

swollen root tuber. The flesh with brown/purple skin, although yellow and white fleshed

varieties are also available. While beet root is most commonly eaten as a cold, salad

vegetable, pickled in vinegar and it also makes a delicious hot vegetable. Grated beet root

may also be eaten raw. Beet root is utilized as a food as it is rich in nutrients like protein

carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals etc.

In the present investigation, application of cattle dung, NADEP compost and

vermicompost increase total reducing sugar in the beet root as well as total plant. While

significant reduction was observed after the application of fertilizer and many times it was

less than the control. Leaf litter can be considered as a source of Agricultural waste which

return directly to the soil after the formation of compost.

Keywords: - Compost, Beet root Yield and Nutrient Content.

Dept. of Botany,

Sambhajirao Kendre Mahavidyalaya, Jalkot,

ABSTRACT

Diseases are responsible for decreasing productivity and post-harvest deterioration of

crop plants. Diseases caused by fungi are major in plants and ultimately to seeds. Hence

present investigation was carried out to know the mycoflora of oil seeds and its control by

medicinal plants. The antimicrobial potential of five plants was screened against four

pathogenic fungi, using minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). Different solvent extracts

of Adhatoda zaylanica, Lantana camara and Sida cordifolia exhibited good activity against

all the fungi tested and the MIC was recorded in range of 7.35 –32.5 µg/ml.

The present investigation will be helpful in the control of seed borne fungal pathogens

of crops. Health of the seeds can be maintained and seeds can be stored for longer by using

these medicinal plants. Hence the present investigation will be useful for seed health

management, which is an ecofriendly approach.

431101, Maharashtra, India

ABSTRACT

Organic composts contain relatively low concentrations of the actual plant nutrients

and are not immediately available for plant utilization. Hence, the fortification of organic

wastes and their composts as a source of organic nutrients are imperative for sustainable

agriculture. This paper describes eighteen physico-chemical parameters from different

organic compost. Among tested organic fertilizers, Fard Yard Manure (FYM) (56%) showed

highest ash content followed by vermicompost (53.15%). pH contents found almost alkaline

in nature except cow dung manure.EC was found highest in poultry manure (0.83 dS/m)

while less in baggase ash (0.17 dS/m).Nitrogen content is found highest in baggase ash than

other compost. In Poultary manure, Phosphorus, Potassium and Sodium are found very less

as compared to other compost. The study also aimed at evaluating the effect of organic

manure on the growth and yield of soybean (Glycine max) and wheat (Triticum aestivum)

with six treatments each of which was replicated five times in farm field. All the growth

parameters were differed significantly due to the application of organic compost. The height

(56±3.29 cm) and No. of pods (243±2.97) were increased in poultry manure as compared to

others treatments. In case of soybean, poultry manure, cow dung and FYM observed

beneficial results among treatments. The result revealed that the treatment of vermicompost

(108.68±1.47) showed significant weight of grains/ plant in wheat.

Jawale C.S. and Singh-Gupta S.

Department of Zoology, HPT Arts & RYK Science College, Nashik 422005,

Maharashtra.

ABSTRACT

The effect of alcoholic extract of C. nocturnum was observed on Clarias batrachus andLC50

value was noted. The animal was exposed to 1⁄3 LC50 value, (0.933 ppm) for 48 hrs. Oxygen

consumption was decreased in the treated fish as compared to the control fish. Reduced SDH

and elevated LDH levels were observed in liver, gills and muscles upon exposure to

piscicidal extract. This indicates that the piscicidal extract of C.nocturnum leaves impairs the

respiratory enzyme activity in Clarious batrachus and hence has a lethal effect.

Lake is very much interesting with regards to vegetation because of the fact that the floristic

compositions of this locality are mixed type having both terrestrial and aquatic which are yet

to be explored. No systematic and extensive floristic works on this lake have been done

except for a few scattered reports. The present research deals with the selection of pollution

tolerant aquatic plants species growing in the water environment of Salim Ali Lake, situated

in Aurangabad District of Maharashtra. Environmental pollution has reached to such a stage

that biological species are struggling for its existence. Human beings are also facing the

health impacts due to increased pollution. None of the spheres of earth remain untouched by

pollution. Be it hydrosphere, lithosphere or atmosphere, each one is experiencing abnormal

levels of pollution. Atmosphere is polluted the most. Major sources of atmospheric pollution

are industrial emissions, vehicles, construction activities, mining, dust particles and other

anthropogenic activities. With advancement in science and technology, human population has

also increased dramatically. The present paper deals with the selection of pollution tolerant

aquatic plants growing in the water environment of Salim Ali Lake, Aurangabad. Present

research work revealed the presence of 44 aquatic plants, out of which 18 species belonged to

Dicotyledons and 26 to monocotyledons representing 27 families. The present paper deals

with the selection of pollution tolerant aquatic plants growing in the water environment of

*Department of Botany, Kai. Rasika Mahavidyalaya Deoni, Dist- Latur (MS), India

ABSTRACT

The unwanted plant species growing in ordinary environmental conditions are

popularlyknown as weeds. Diversity of weeds in agricultural field is mainly depend on

agricultural practices such as irrigation pattern, topography, use of fertilizers, socio economic

condition, spraying and diversity of habitats. Weed diversity in agricultural field having dual

importance, firstly most of weeds are used a source of cattle feed and secondly various weed

species are traditionally used in ayurvedic practices, in the wake of that weeds may resolves

enormous loss of crop yield and low yield may directly affect on farmers economy. Now a

day’s farmers are using more herbicides in crop field to control the major threat from weeds

because they know weeds are dwelling the fungi, bacteria, thrips and variety of insects.

Mostly the weeds are categorized in belong to the family Commelinaceae, Poaceae,

Cyperaceae etc. are more dominant over the present herbicides, but they can only eradicated

by following traditional practices. Generally, they are primary competitors for the crops,

lawn, orchard, gardens etc. hence these are the hazardous to creating major problem which

decrease the economy, hence the proposed study carried out in 2016-2019 to study weed

diversity of the Marathwada Region of Maharashtra State. During the field extensive field

exploration we collected the 168 weedspecies from Marathwada region in respect of detailed

morphology, flowering and fruiting season, weed type, present occurrence, ecological notes

and medicinal importance. Among them about 20 weed species are rare from agricultural

fields. The weeds of the region generally classified into two categories viz. monsoon weed

and autumn weeds. Weed flora is having luxurious growth with habitual diversity in monsoon

season due to enough rainfall and availability of moisture in soil but in autumn they are

weaker and showing less diversity.

*Dr. Ghadsing P.G ** Dr.I.B.Salunkhe

* Shri. Siddheshwar College, Majalgaon** Sunderrao Solanke College, Majalgaon.

ABSTRACT

In India, the use of different parts of several medicinal plants to cure specific ailments has

been in vogue from ancient times. The indigenous system of medicine namely, Ayurvedic

and Unani, has been in existence for several centuries. In modern times, plants have a

prominent place as raw material for some important drugs. Synthetic drugs are effective in

controlling different diseases but these synthetic drugs are out of reach of millions of people.

It is estimated that around 70,000 plant species have been used for medicinal purposes.

Medicinal plants have curative actions due to the presence of complex chemical constituents.

and pharmacological actions of Euphorbia.

Euphorbia is the largest genus of the family Euphorbiaceae with about 1600 species. All

species of Euphorbia exude a milky juice. Out of these sps, Euphorbia hirta Linn. Is an annual

medicinal weed and it is commonly known as Asthma plant. It is not only a weed but also it

is a medicinal herb too. These medicinal herbs are found in tropical and temperate parts of

the world. Extensive literature studies suggested that the various parts of the plant are

reported to possess antimicrobial, anti-diabetic, anti-cancer, anti-tumor, anti-plasmodia, anti-

fertility, wound healing, anti-inflammatory, sedative, Anti- asthmatic, Anti-Ulcer, and diuretic

properties. The present review study deals with the botanical description, phytochemical,

pharmacological, therapeutic, nutritional and other important biological aspects of Euphorbia

hirta. The main phytochemicals found in this plant are polyphenols, flavonoids, steroids,

tannins, and alkaloids. This review study may be utilized for the identification and

preparation of a monograph of Euphorbia hirta.

ABSTRACT

Orchids are highly specialized and a mesmerizing group of flowering plants and are

classified into four different habitats viz., subterranean, saprophytic, terrestrial and epiphytic.

Sometime, epiphytic species found in lithophytic habitat. Orchid species are widely

distributed from the Equator to the Arctic Circle and from lowland areas to snowline. About

1,300 species with 140 genera of Orchid species are found in India. The main Orchid rich

habitats in the country are the Himalayas, North Eastern, peninsular and the Darjeeling

Himalayan regions of India. Orchids are characterized by pollination mechanism, diverse

floral morphology, floral colour combination, association with special fungal associates and

endospermless seeds and are considered to be the most highly evolved among the

monocotyledons plant group and they exhibit an unbelievable multiplicity in structure, shape,

size, colour and aroma of flowers and are attractive customary among the professional and

recreational Orchid lovers of the world. It is estimated that over 22,500 species with 779

genera are distributed throughout the world. This attempt is the first step to correct taxonomic

identification to workout currently accepted botanical names with photographs, habitat,

altitudinal ranges, phenology, current field status, diversity, threats, local and general

distribution of terrestrial Orchid species Acanthephippium Bl. (Orchidaceae) viz.,

Acanthephippiumsylhetense Lindl., and A. striatum Lindl., in Darjeeling Himalaya of West

Bengal, India.

Bandewar S.T and T.D.Kamble

Department of Botany Rajarshi shahu Arts Commerce and Science College Pathri

Tq.Phulambri Dist.Aurangabad.

ABSTRACT

In order to provide for the establishment of an effective system for protection of plant

varieties, the rights of farmers and plant breeders and to encourage the development of new

varieties of plants it has been considered necessary to recognize and protect the rights of the

farmers in respect of their contribution made at any time in conserving, improving and

making available plant genetic resources for the development of the new plant varieties.

Moreover to accelerate agricultural development, it is necessary to protect plants breeders'

rights to stimulate investment for research and development for the development of new plant

varieties.Such protection is likely to facilitate the growth of the seed industry which will

ensure the availability of high quality seeds and planting material to the farmers. India having

ratified the Agreement on Trade Related Aspects of the Intellectual Property Rights has to

make provision for giving effect to Agreement. To give effect to the aforesaid objectives the

Protection of Plant Varieties and Farmers' Rights Act, 2001 has been passed in India.For the

purposes of this Act, Protection of Plant Varieties and Farmers' Rights Authority has been

established and is located at New Delhi

DEGRADATION OF CELLULOSE CONTAINING EFFLUENT

BY TRICHODERMA

NAYAB ANSARI

Dept of zoology, Sir Sayyed College, Aurangabad

ABSTRACT

Water pollution due to paper and pulp industry is becoming more and more

hazardous, the industrial effluent contains cellulose which is depositing in the water bodies

currently there are two pathways for converting cellulose into glucose they are, chemical

verses enzymatic. Trichoderma a fungus produces an enzyme cellulase complex which can

hydrolyse cellulose to glucose thus reducing the water pollution to some extent. In the present

investigations the purified cellulase enzyme complex was immobilized and used also the

enzymatic degradation was compared with the chemical degradation. It was found that

enzymatic degradation was more efficient and the enzyme retained its efficiency till 72 hours

and then declined. Thus cellulose a major pollutant can be converted to glucose which can be

used as an energy source

ABSTRACT

Evaluating an optimal conditions for growth and exopolysaccharide production has

been carried out using laboratory isolated marine by Psudomonas aeroginosa . The sequential

statistical methods were used to maximize exopolysaccharide production. Initially, a Plackett-

Burman design was used to optimize the variable i.e. nutritional components such as four

carbon sources, four nitrogen sources ,four metal sources, out of which glucose ,ammonium

sulfate, magnesium sulfate sodium hydrogen phosphate significant for exopolysaccharide

production (P < 0.05). Further investigation of effect of selected four nutrients using a

Response Surface Methodology (second -order central composite design (CCD) was done to

optimize exopolysaccharide production, which was adequately approximated with a full

quadratic equation obtained from a two-factor level design. The analysis of quadratic surfaces

showed that glucose ,ammonium sulfate, magnesium sulfate sodium hydrogen phosphate

has significant effect on exopolysaccharide production (P < 0.05 ).The determined (R2)

value was 0.97 and adjusted R-squared 0.94 , indicating a good fitted model for EPS

production. The F-test applied for analysis of variance (ANOVA), F value was found to be

34.73 explain the good correlation of independent variables . Validation of the experimental

model was done where maximum exopolysaccharide production (4.52 g/l) was obtained

with 1.14% glucose ,0.72% ammonium sulfate, 0.054 %magnesium sulfate,0.08 % sodium

hydrogen phosphate . In these conditions, the maximum EPS yield was 4.52 g/l which was 2

fold in increase as compared to basal medium .

Study of Garlic (Allium sativum) effect on control measures of land snail,

Macrochlamys petrosa.

Deshmukh P.S.

Postgraduate Department of Zoology,

Government Vidarbha Institute of Science and Humanities ,Amravati.

ABSTRACT

The land snails and slugs are important to man as a pest because of damage caused in

agriculture. The present snail Macrochlamys petrosa is moisture loving and feeding actively

during monsoon and winter seasons of the year. For the control purpose of this snail it is

essential to understand in detail Ecobiology of these snails. The control of Macrochlamys

petrosa was checked in the laboratory by conducting experiments under laboratory conditions

.This experiments were carried out by using garlic effect for assessing the toxicity.

Fortunately, nature has a simple solution. Allicin is a defense compound created

by garlic bulbs which both repels and kills slugs and snails. Garlic is an important vegetable

extensively cultivated in India. It is well known for its pungent spicy flavor. When garlic is

sprayed on plants, its odor and taste deter snails from eating the foliage. When

the snails come into contact with the oil in garlic, they begin to secrete more mucus. Over

time, the snails will die as they dry and shrivel up from too much mucus secretion. It is

observed that direct dusting of the powder on snail and sprinkling the liquid concentration of

these chemicals on food of the snail is most effective as compared to mixing the chemical

with soil.

Government Institute of Science, Aurangabad, Maharashtra, 431001

ABSTRACT

Industrial activities and deliberate and accidental discharges are the major causes due

towhich microbes are exposed to toxic levels of metal pollutants and they acquire resistance

to these metals for their survival using various mechanisms like adsorption, accumulation,

enzyme catalyzed transformations etc, So the microorganisms can be used to concentrate,

accumulate and recover such precious metals. In this paper Ps. aeruginosa4442 is used to

accumulate the hexavalent chromium from the metal containing solution. To recover this

metal from the bacterial cells efficiently these microbial cells are immobilized using Na-

alginate. It was found that beads containing microbial cells accumulate maximum 68% of Cr

(VI) after 2 and half hours of incubation at 300 C. Various elutants were used to recover this

accumulated chromium and EDTAwas found to be the most effective giving recovery of 79%

of Cr (VI). These immobilized beads can beefficiently used for 5 sorption and desorption cycles.

*Shivaji Arts Comm. & Sci. College , Kannad, Dist. Aurangabad. M.S. India.

ABSTRACT

Majalgaon Dam was constructed on the River Sindphana which is a tributary of

River Godavari, in Beed District (Maharashtra, India) in 1987.The River Sindphana has been

under constant threat of pollution by sewage and industrial wastes, disposal of dead bodies,

deforestration, excessive useof fertilizers and pesticides, bathing and water development

programmes. The dam has a catchment area is 3840 sq. km. It is of great Importance for the

region because its water is used for human and cattle consumption,power generation, fish

production and irrigation. A total of 33 species of phytoplanktons, 29 species of

zooplanktons and 11 species of fishes were identified.

The importance of plankton in fisheries is well established. It has been clearly

demonstrated that the zooplankton constitute the only food for the fish fry and the adult fish

not only eat them, but also select them as a delectable item.Thus zooplankton have a direct

bearing in the fish industry. In India, several studies were conducted in reservoirs elucidating

the characteristics of zooplankton.The zooplankton peak was found during summer followed

by winter and rainy season.Microfauna (zooplankton) was observed about four groups as

Rotifera observed about eleventh species, Copepoda observed about nine species, Cladocera

observed seven species and Ostracoda observed about two species.

The macrofauna or fish fauna were observed at the Majalgaon Dam reservoir. There

are culture of fish with quick growing varieties of fishes including Indian Major Carps, exotic

species have been popular in recent time. There is abundance of the species such as Labeo

rohita, Cirrhina mrigal, Catla catla, Cyprinus carpio, Silver carp, Wallago atta,

Mystacenbelus armatus, Notoptemus chital, Puntues ticto, Channa staitus, Mystus

seenghala, Mystus cavaassius, Eutroplus suratensis, Belon concila, Chela, Tilapia

Mossambica, Rohtee alfrediana, Gobius giuris, etc.Fish is economically a very important

group of animals beside being used as food. Fish liver is an important source of oil containing

Vitamins A and D, several minerals and protein.

Effect Of Sodium Fluoride On Vas deferens of Male Albino Rats

(Rattus norvegicus)

Sudheer S. Senigarpu M.Sc*, Dr.V.T.Dhurvey

PGTD Department Of Zoology, Mahatma Jyotiba Phule Educational Campus Under RTM Nagpur University,

Nagpur.

ABSTRACT

The vas deferens also called ductus deferens is part of male reproductive system of

many vertebrate. The vas deferens is a tube like as a epididymis. The muscular layer of the

vas has three layers a thick intermediate circular layer of muscles fibers and inner and outer

longitudinal layers. The muscular layer of the vas helps in propelling sperm through the duct

system. There is evidence in the literature that, sodium fluoride (NaF) is a poisonous toxic

compound in the environment naturally and as poisons emanating from various ways. Long et

al. (2009) reported the current scientific understanding of the links between environmental

exposure to fluoride (F) and its known or potential effect on human male fertility. Chinoy et

al.(2005)reported the combined administration of sodium fluoride (NaF, 10 mg/ kg bw

/day)+aluminium chloride (AlCl3, 200 mg/ kg/ bw/ day) to adult male mice for 30 Days

caused histological changes in the vas deferens. A decrease in protein in the vas deferens,

seminal vesicle and prostate occurred. Inhibition of phosphorylase in vas deferens together

with accumulation of glycogen altered its carbohydrate metabolism. We reported that the

effects of sodium fluoride (NaF) ingestion in two doses (10 and 20 mg/kg body weight) for

30 days on histology and histocytometry of reproductive organs of the adult male mouse were

investigated. The vas deferens epithelium showed nuclear pyknosis, clumped stereocilia, and

cell debris but no sperm in the lumen and an increase in the lamina propria. Less literature is

available on effect of sodium fluoride on vas deferens with short duration of albino rat. The

purpose of the present work is to examine the effect of sodium fluoride on vas deferens of

albino rats the following objective was studies.

∙ Body weight responses after treatment.

∙ Vas deferens weight change pre and post treatment.

∙ Histopathological alteration in the vas deferens in low dose and short duration

food sample for Yoghurt formation.

Manisha Nitin Maind

Department of Microbiology,Deogiricollege,Aurangabad

ABSTRACT

An investigation of isolation of Lactic acid bacteria was carried out under low

temperature for the preparation of yoghurt by using starter culture isolated. Lactic acid

bacteria play a key role in the development of the organoleptic and textural qualities of

fermented products.The aim of the recent study was the preparation of yoghurt [by using

L.bulgarious&S.thermophilous] and improving the texture of the food. Lactic acid

bacteria [LAB] played an important role in food technology. The lactic acid bacteria are gram

positive microorganisms that play an essential role in the industrial production.Their

enzymatic activities and the metabolic products they generate during the fermentation.The

macromolecules play an important role in the development of the texture of yoghurt and

fermented milk. Lab including strains of S.thermophilus ,L.lactis and a number of dairy

lactobacilli.The total yield depends on the composition of the growth medium,the

temperature,pHand the incubation time. Lactic acid bacteria [LAB] dominated the microbial

population of yoghurt and were identified accourding to their morphological and

physiological characteristics.Among these lactobacilli were frequently occurring

organisms.The most abundant species were lactobacillus delbrueckii subspp.Bulgaricus and

Streptococcus thermophilus. The Lactic streptococci was subjected to biochemical tests to

identifiey the species.Based on the biochemical reactions the specieswas identified as

Lactococcuslactis, subspp. di-actylactis. Isolated culture of lactic streptococci was found to

grow at low temperature.When this was used as inoculum to prepare yoghurt at 5 o C,15 o C

and 22 o C curdling took place in 3 days time.In order to reduce the settting time, nutrients in

the form of chopped fruits added. The yoghurt was found to set at 5 o C in 30 hrs which is

considered useful..Acidity of yoghurt was found to be 0.53%-0.55%. The yoghurt was found

to contain di-acetyl and quality of yoghurt was good. S. thermophilus is LAB widely used in

the manufacturing of dairy products in fact it is the most important thermophilic dairy starter.

The species is able to grow at high temperture [45 o C] required dairy products

manufacturing processes..For yoghurt fermentation S.thermophilus is used alone or in the

combination with different lactobacillus and mesophilicstarters,while for yoghurt it is

normally use with L.delbrueckiisubspp.bulgaricus. The role of S.thermophilus in the milk

fermentation is the rapid conversion of lactose into lactic acid, which causes a rapid reduction

in the pH and encourages the production of metabolites important to the final flavor.A

number of S.thermophilus.Which contribute to the desirable viscous texture &

rheological properties of fermented milk products, particularly yoghurt.The interest of

industry in the finding starters with much attention is being paid to improving thetexture of

food .Lactic new metabolic properties has revived the idea of screening artisanal dairy

products of different origin.Currently acid and probiotic bacteria were enumerated and

isolated from homemade preparations and probitic milk products. Lactobacillus delbrueckii

spp. Bulgaricus were enumerated and isolated using MRS agar used for theenumeration and

isolation of probiotic bacteria which was incubated anaerobically at 37 o C for 72hrs.

Department of Zoology, Yeshwant Mahavidyalaya, Nanded - 431602, Maharashtra

ABSTRACT

Fishes play an important role in human nutrition in India, particularly people of

Coastal areas. Good and adequate nutrition plays important role in expression of mental,

physical and intellectual qualities in humans. To ensure access to nutritionally adequate food

for the improvement in the quality of diet of a poor person in the society, fish is the only

medium which can serve the very purpose. They have the ability to reduce blood lipid level,

particularly serum triglycerides. Fishes are good source for human nutrition due to their

therapeutic role in reducing certain cardio vascular disorders. Fish is the constituting the only

animal protein source among rural poor households.

Fish is a rich source of proteins, carbohydrates, minerals and vitamins etc. Proteins

are the most important characteristics of living matter and are also the principal constituents

of protoplasm which from the material basis of life (Jain and Singh, 1981). The locally

available freshwater fishes such as Notopterus notopterus, Cyprinus carpio and Mystus

seenghala were selected for the present study for estimation of total proteins from Nanded

region. The estimation of protein was carried out by Lowry’s Method in muscle tissue. The

comparative data collected to examine the richness of proteins in fish muscles. The obtained

data showed that the amount of proteins in fish muscles is higher in Notopterus notopterus as

compared to Cyprinus carpio and Mystus seenghala.

Deptt. Of Zoology, Sant Gadge Baba Amravati University, Amravati, M.S., India. 444602

ABSTRACT

Butterflies and moths have different wings than those of other insects. They are

formed from a transparent double epithelial chitin membrane which is crisscrossed with

tubular veins.

Scales of Butterfly and moth are present on the wings which are very tiny and

arranged in a specific manner. The scales may help to attract a mate, or keep the predators

away due to interference of light into the UV range and also are used as communication

signals for attraction, repulsion, or camouflage. The morphology of scales can be studied

using Scanning electron microscopy for the identification of butterfly and moth scales.

A butterfly Graphium agamemnon belonging to familyPapilionidae and a moth

Thyas coronataof the family Noctuidae are selected for comparative study in present work.

This butterfly species has strikingly iridescent colours with green range; this colour formation

is by the micro-structuring of the wing scales.

The present study of Scanning Electron Microscopic structure of wing scales of the

butterfly & moth species was carried out in the Department of Metallurgy, Visvesvaraya

National Institute of Technology, Nagpur (M.S) India.

Scanning electron microscopy revealed that there are 3 to 4 ridges present on the

terminal portion of the G. agamemnon wings in comparison with a single ridge in given

moth. Length and width of the scale of butterfly is 130 μm and 42.5 μm and that of

T.coronata is 108 μm and 31.1 μm respectively. The pattern between two trabaculae has two

rows of pentagonal or polygonal holes in G. agamemnon, on the other hand the pattern

issquare form in T.coronata. All these unique characteristic also provide a tool for

identification of species of butterflies and moths.

ABSTRACT

Kidney is an excretory center of the vertebrate body and it carries out excretory

function. Alkaline phosphatase is widely studied enzyme and tested for diagnosing the

malfunctioning of tissues or organs. The effect of pH, temperature, time and substrate

concentration was studied by exposing the enzyme to the range of pH from 8.0 to 11.5,

temperature ranging from 300C to 600C, time ranging from 10 to 80 min, and substrate

ranging from 0.8 mM to 4.0 mM, however the range of enzyme concentration from 20 µl to

120 µl was used for studying the effect of enzyme concentration on reaction velocity. As

negligible work has been done on the kinetics of enzymes in fishes in general and therefore,

we aimed to study to find the kinetic properties of this enzyme in the kidney of Clarias

gariepinus.

Renal alkaline phosphatase exhibited maximum activity at temperature 40°C and pH

9.5 and these are considered to be the optima for this enzyme. However, the enzyme activity

was observed to increase consistently with increase in time and enzyme concentrations.

Similarly, increase in the concentration of substrate to certain extent found to stabilizes the

enzyme activity and it was considered as Vmax. The Vmax and Km values were found to be

196.07 µg/gm wt. of kidney and 5.15 mM from resulted graph.

2Government College of Arts and Science, Aurangabad

ABSTRACT

Carotenoids are terpenoid pigment with polyene nature. They are produced by plants,

fungi, actinomycetes and bacteria as a protective molecule. Carotenoids are yellow, orange

and red pigmentsss. These compounds are known for their provitamin A activity and

antioxidant function. Due to these functions they can be used to prevent many diseases

caused by free radical damage e.g. hypertension, atherosclerosis, Alzimer’s, Parkinson’s,

cataract, cancer, etc. Their regular consumption can slower the process of aging. In recent

work carotenoid was extracted from Paracoccus beibuensis SL2 a halo-alkalotolerent

bacterial species and its activity was studied as an antioxidant by DPPH assay (1,1 diphenyl

2-picrylhydrazyl) and as a fish food supplement. The carotenoid extract showed 56%

antioxidant activity and IC50 at 4.6 μg/ml. Supplementation of carotenoid improved skin

pigmentation and other health parameters in gold fish Carassius auratus. The research

concludes that bacterial carotenoids can be used as potential bioactive compound.

ABSTRACT

Biosurfactant are valuable microbial amphiphilic molecules with effective surface

active and biological properties applicable to several industries. Microbes synthesize them,

especially during growth on water immiscible substrates, proving an alternative to chemically

prepared conventional surfactants. In recent years, natural biosurfactants have attracted

attention because of their low toxicity, biodegradability and ecological acceptability. Present

work deals with the screening of biosurfactant producing ability of the isolates on different

carbon source. The petroleum contaminated soil samples were collected from petrol pump

and garages of Amravati city. Total fifteen samples were screened on MSM medium

containing 2% oil as carbon source. From fifteen samples six different isolates were isolated.

Out of these six isolates one isolate shows surface tension reduction upto 47.19dyne/cm and

32.24dyne/cm and zone of oil displacement upto 35mm and 80mm when motor oil and

mustard oil used as carbon source respectively. All isolates were identified by 16S rRNA

sequencing they belong to genus Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Aneurinibacillus miugulanus,

Achromobacter insolitus, Bacillus shackletonii and Ochromobactrum intermedium. These

isolates may be used as potential bacteria for remediation of the petroleum contaminated

soils.

ABSTRACT

We report here the effect of injections of cerebral ganglionic extract and equivalent

commercial hormones (Progesterone & Estradiol) on glycogen metabolism of freshwater

bivalve mollusc Indonaia caeruleus (Prashad, 1918) from Godavari River, as we know the

importance of neuroendocrine control on the metabolic physiology of freshwater bivalves.

During winter season, the adult bivalve mollusc, Indonaiacaeruleus (50-55 mm shell length)

were subjected to the five respective experimental groups are as follows- 1) injection of

commercial hormone progesterone 2) injection of ganglionic extract 3) injection of sham

operation 4) injection of estradiol and 5) control (normal) for 10 days. The glycogen

estimation in bivalves from all four groups (including control) was measured on 3rd, 6th, and

9th day. The study revealed that, the glycogen content was significantly decreased from

mantle and foot in all experimental groups, as well as the content increased significantly from

gonadal tissue on 3rd day. During 6th day, the glycogen content increased significantly from

mantle and hepatopancreas in all experimental groups. On 9th day, the glycogen content

decreased significantly from hepatopancreas in progesterone and ganglionic extract injected

group; whereas the content increased significantly from mantle in progesterone injected and

from foot in ganglionic extract injected group.

Comparison of Phospholipase A2 from Honeybee Venom by In Silico

Method

Vijayshree Hemke


Shri Shivaji Science And Arts College, Chikhli. Dist: Buldana

ABSTRACT

Honeybees play a significant role in each aspect of the ecosystem. Besides other products,

honeybees can produce venom for their protection. Phospholipase A2 enzymes are commonly

found in insect venom. The venom of honeybee contains different peptide chains. PLA2

enzyme is one of the major content of insect and snake venom. Here we study PLA2 of

venom of Apis dorsata, Apis Mellifera, Apis cerena, Apis indica for its antigenic

determinants by in silico method. As our knowledge of the immune responses to a protein

antigen progressed, it is now clear that the whole protein is not required for raising the

immune response, but small segments (“DTKCYKLEHPVTGC” 92-105 aa of Apis dorsata)

of a protein called the antigenic determinants or the epitopes are sufficient for eliciting the

desired immune response. The immune response is triggered through B-cells and T-cells, at a

cellular level, epitopes play a very important role to stimulate immune response. If antigens

are in a tertiary structure T-cells can not recognize it, but rather as fragments of peptide, so

antigenic determinant is important. Melittin is a major component of honeybee venom,

which is a stimulant of Phospholipase A2. Arachidonic acid is released from the phospholipid

membrane disproportionately resulting from a hymenopterans’ sting due to the increased

presence and activity of PLA2. It results, inflammation and pain occur at the site of the sting.

Now a day’s honeybee venom is used for treating a wide variety of medical conditions like

rheumatoid arthritis by identifying its epitopes.

Development and Characterization of Bacterial Consortium for

Bioremoval of Cr (VI).

Sakale S. S*. &Chitanand M. P**.

Department of Microbiology, N.S.B. College, Nanded-431601, Maharashtra, India.

ABSTRACT

Waste water of industries like electroplating, metal alloys, leather, tanning, contains

hexavalent chromium which represents a well recognized bio-hazard. Cr (VI) is one of the

major reasons for the environmental pollution and has become the attention of great concern

in the world due to the extensive release of such toxic metal in an environment including soil

and water. Recently remediation of Cr (VI) using bacterial consortium has gained

importance, as it results in processes with clean technologies producing maximum benefits,

due to its adaptability and environment-friendly nature.

In the present study, it was aimed to develop and study of efficient bacterial consortia

for reduction of chromium metal.Nineteen Cr resistant isolates were isolated from

electroplating effluent samples, out of which five isolates showed higher MIC for Cr (VI)

1300µg/ml. Five isolates were identified as C. amylolyticum, B. cereus,S. arlettae, A.

pascensand C. funkei by 16s r-RNA gene sequencing. By using these five isolates, three

bacterial consortia G, J, and M were developed. These three consortia showed higher Cr

reduction efficiencies than five individual isolates. The comparative study of three consortia

represents that, Consortium M showed the highest Cr reduction efficiency than Consortia G

and J. Results of further characterization of consortium M showed that, maximum Cr (VI)

reduction could be observed at pH 7 and temperature 30ᵒC. At 10µg/ml concentration of Cr

(VI), consortium M could reduce 100% of Cr (VI), in 6hrs of incubation period. But as initial

concentration of Cr (VI) was increased 20, 50 and 100µg/ml, Cr reduction ability was

decreased up to 83.45%, 61.11% and 40.33% respectively. In presence of Cu and Ni, Cr (VI)

reduction efficiency of Consortium M was increased and 100% reduction of 10 µg/ml Cr (VI)

was observed within 4 hrs. Whereas in presence of Cd, Co, Pb, Hg and Fe the reduction

efficiency was decreased.

The results confirmed that the consortium developed in the present work rather than

individual isolates is an effective tool of bioremediation for removal of toxic Cr (VI) from

chromium contaminated sites.

Study the Effect of pH and Temperature on Protease Production by

Psychrotrophic Pseudomonas Species Isolated from Dairies of

Aurangabad.

Syed Nisar Ahmed*, Mohammad Shakir

Department of Microbiology, Sir Sayyed College, Aurangabad; Department of Microbiology KSK College,

Beed.

ABSTRACT

Psychrotrophic bacteria are able to grow at 70C or lower but had higher growth

temperature called psychrotrophs. They are commonly found in different cold environments

such as deep oceans, Antarctic regions, seasonally cold environments as their potential ability

to sustain high temperature. Psychrotrophs produce cold active enzymes which reveals higher

catalytic activities as compare to mesic and thermic conditions. Most psychrotrophs produce

hydrolytic heat stable extracellular enzymes like proteases, lipases, phospholipases etc. in

milk or dairy products stored at low temperature. In this present study cooled buffalo milk

was used for the isolation of psychrotrophic pseudomonas species and its protease production

was studies on different pH and temperature. On skim milk agar a zone of hydrolysis showed

proteolytic activity of Pseudomonas and it is measured by selection ratio. Selection ratio (SR)

= diameter of zone of hydrolysis / diameter of colony in mm. proteolytic activity was

optimized on different pH and temperature. Results showed that maximum protease

production was observed at 370C and pH 7.0 which is 6.0 ± 0.1 SR value. Psychrotrophic

bacteria also able to produce protease at refrigeration temperature and on prolonged cooling

can alter the quality of milk.

ABSTRACT

Amphibians live in varied habitats. This fact probably explains the great

morphofunctional diversity in their skins Although the integument is the structural and

functional interface between the organism and its environment, the morphological and

complexity of amphibian skin is not fully understand. There is practically no information on

the integument of the tree frog Polypedates leucomystax found in cherrapunjee. Therefore,

ultra structure of the skin of the adult frog of Polypedates leucomystax was studied during the

breeding phase with the help of transmission electron microscopy. Adult males and females

of Polypedated leucomystax were collected from the study sites at Cherrapunjee. The

epidermis consisted of four layers namely, stratum cvornum, stratum granulosum, stratum

spinosum and stratum germinativum. Desmosomes, ribosomes, tonofilaments. Golgi bodies,

vacuoles and collagen fibres were observed in the epidermal cells. The basement membrane

composed of collagenous fibres separated the epidermis from the dermis. Pigment cells like

pterinosomes, melanophores and iridiphores were abserved and these pigment cells may work

together to determine the varied skin colouration and patterns displayed in polypedutes

leucomystax and my have important roles in adapting this frog to its environment.

Keyworeds: polypedates leucomystax; epidermis; pigment cells.

Analysis of Enzyme Activity during Vermicomposting of Organic Wastes

(corn cob and cauliflower)employing the earthworm Eudrilus eugeniae

Vishal Bedre1 and Balraj Khobragade*

PG Department of Zoology, Ahmednagar College, Ahmednagar – 414 001 Maharashtra (India)

ABSTRACT

Earthworms consume dead and decaying organic matter along with soil. Enzymes in

their digestive tracts carry out biodegradation of this partially decomposed content. The

egested excreta called ‘vermicast’ contain plant growth hormones, various organic and

nitrogenous compounds. The resultant humus-like material is called ‘vermicompost’, which

enhances soil fertility and eventually promotes increase in plant production. A greatly

populous nation like India faces the overwhelming challenge of waste disposal. Further, there

is inefficient disposal of organic wastes, which actually have the potential to be converted

into cheap and easily available biofertiliser. This natural fertiliser may be employed for

augmenting output of economically important crops. The quality of vermicompost depends

on the substrate acted upon by enzymes in the earthworm gut. The extent of enzyme activity

varies as per the substrate and the stage of vermicomposting operation. Keeping this in view,

the present study was undertaken to analyse the enzyme activity during various stages of

vermicomposting of the corn cob and cauliflower waste using the earthworm species Eudrilus

eugeniaecommonly popularly known as ‘African Night Crawler’. The relation between the

type of substrate and enzyme activity in the gut of the earthworm during the composting

process was investigated, which revealed that corn cob showed good enzyme activity as

compared to cauliflower waste. Enzymatic analysis provided evidence of presence of the

enzymes namely amylase, invertase and urease in the gut of Eudrilus eugeniae. Quantitative

analysis of the enzymes recorded maximum amylase and invertase activity to be 11.2 and 9.6

µg/ml/min and 8.33 and 6.46 µg/ml/min at 30th day interval; whereas, maximum

ureaseactivity was found to be 3.8 and 6.1 µg/ml/min at 45th day interval; in the gut content

of Eudrilus eugeniae fed on corn cob and cauliflower waste, respectively. Enzymatic analysis

of earthworm gut content suggests that corn cob waste and cauliflower waste can be used as

good organic substrate by the earthworm species Eudrilus eugeniae. It can be concluded that

‘vermitechnology’ is an efficient and secure substitute tool having tremendous prospective in

organic waste management.

Antibiotic Resistance Pattern among Fecal Indicator Bacteria in Hospital

Waste Water

R. N. Jadhav Shivneri Mahavidyalaya, Shirur(A). (MS), India.

ABSTRACT

No life can exist without water. There are thousands of microorganisms which live in

water & are transported through it. Water receives microorganisms from air, sewage, soil,

organic wastes, dead plants, animals etc. Hospital waste water can be a potential risk factor

for public health & ecological balance, as it contains various hazardous components

including pathogenic microorganisms E. coli is an indicator of fecal pollution of water. It is a

member of coli form group of bacteria. It is an example of opportunistic pathogen. It is a

normal flora of intestine of warm blooded animals. Diarrhea, urinary tract infection &

nosocomial infection are caused by E. coli. Drug resistance in pathogenic bacteria has been

commonly reported throughout the world. The resistance of bacterial pathogens to many

antibiotics continues to increase globally. By different ways bacteria become resistant to

antibiotics. Patients suffering from drug resistant strain fail to respond drugs treatment. So

there is a continuous demand of new drug. In the present study isolates of E. coli were

isolated from hospital waste water in Latur city. Isolate of E. coli were identified according to

their morphological, cultural characteristics and biochemical tests. Antibiotic susceptibility

test of the clinical isolates was done by using modified Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method

according to the guidelines of the CLSI. Interpretation of resistance was based on the NCCLS

criteria. The most common pattern of multiple drug resistance of isolates of E. coliobserved

was ampicillin- chloramphenicol- streptomycin- erythromycin- trimethoprim- nalidixin acid.

Due to indiscriminate use of antibiotics has led to an increase in antibiotic resistance in

bacteria.

ABSTRACT

Understanding the insect responses to plant allelochemicals and pesticides in their

local ecological context represents a key challenge in developing durable pest control

strategies.

Here an attempt is made to understand the effects (if any) after changing the natural

food of Boisea coimbatorensis. To have the insight on this different dose of lawsone was

administered to freshly moulted 24 to 36 hours old nymphs. These nyphms were topically

treated on ventrolateral side of their abdomen with the help of Hamilton microliter syringe.

LC50 value was found to be 1.3μg/ml. Sublethal doses of lawsone (0.2 to 1.2 μg/ml) were

used during experimentation and a control group was maintained for comparison. The results

show that the sublethal concentration of lawsone significantly reduced metamorphosis of

Boisea coimbatorensis. A low-lethal concentration of lawsone significantly increased

nymphal development time, but significantly decreased emergence rate and longevity in

metamorphosed 5th instar nymphs.

J.S. DAHEGAONKAR AND A.S. MOHITE

P.G. Department of Zoology and Research Academy, Sevadal College for Women, Nagpur-440009, India

ABSTRACT

Life stages of Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) were held in constant temperatures

ranging from 15oC to 30oC to determine the effect of temperature on development,

oviposition and fecundity. Over the temperature range tested, developmental rate of the life

history stages and oviposition period decreased as temperature increased from 15oC to 30oC.

By means of linear regression, a lower developmental threshold temperature of 11.5oC,

12.2oC, 13.4oC and 6.5oC was estimated for the incubation of eggs, development of larval

stage, development of pupal stage and oviposition period, respectively. A mean thermal

constant of 45.53 degree-days, 195.98 degree-days, 142.62 degree-days and 81.53 degree-

days above estimated lower threshold temperature was required for the incubation of eggs,

larval development, pupal development and oviposition period, respectively. Fecundity was

positively correlated with temperature. Fecundity increases as temperature increases.

Maximum oviposition occurred between 25oC and 27oC, however, temperatures of 30oC or

higher were detrimental.

ABSTRACT

In each ancient civilization there are signs of attempts for utilization of sewage for

irrigation of agricultural crops. This practice has centuries long tradition in many countries in

the world. In India sewage farming is practiced in many cities and towns and investigations

on utilization of sewage for crop production have been done in India and abroad. In the

present study effect of sewage components such as household pesticides and heavy metals

was studied on the growth of Azotobacter chroococcum isolated from sewge irrigated fields.

It was observed that phenyl highly reduces the number of Azotobacter

*Dept. of Zoology, Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Marathwada University

ABSTRACT

In the present investigation effect of estradiol hormones on the heart beat rate and

oxygen consumption in fresh water bivalve Lamellidens marginalis was studied. The fresh

water bivalve mollusc, as a whole seem possesses considerably greater physiological

susceptibility than that of marine mollusc. It is important to know that respiratory function of

these animals is essential for understanding. In present study on the freshwater bivalve

mollusc, showed that the heart rate (contraction of auricle) accelerates in due to injected of

cardio excitatory drug As exposure period increase the rate of oxygen consumption decrease

in both (i.e. control as well as experimental). Hence in the present study the heart beat rate

and oxygen consumption was responded according estradiol injected.

Vinayakrao Patil Mahavidyalaya, Vaijapur – 423 701,Dist. Aurangabad (MS) India

ABSTRACT

The present study deals with general trends in clutch-size of local birds and examined

some of the hypotheses regarding the adaptive significance of the timing of breeding and

variations in the clutch size, that have been put forth as possible explanations with in seasonal

variation of average clutch-size of the birds. In the present work, recorded clutch size of 15

bird species belong to 10 families of 5 different orders most of them were passerines. Studies

on clutch size helped to study life history traits of various birds, particularly Brahminy Myna

Sturnus pagodarum and Indian Shikra Accipiter badius. Whereas clutch sizes of other birds

provided an approximate measure about birth rate of that species. Clutch of each bird was

observed approximately constant for that species. Further, this available information might be

beneficial in future for detail study of that particular bird species from the local area. This

study was carried out from July 2016 to June 2018 and simultaneously confirmed thereafter

till June 2019.

Nutrient Dependent Microfaunal Diversity At Masoli Reservoir, Parbhani

(M.S.), India

S. M. Yeole M. S. P. Mandal’s, Shri Shivaji College, Parbhani 431401

ABSTRACT

Water is the elixir of life. Most of the biochemical reactions that occur in the

metabolism and growth of the living cells involve water, which has often been referred to as

the universal solvent. Water is not only a major component but also the best solvent and a

medium on which all organisms depend for their existence. Indeed the economics of all life

processes and living communities are hinged on this most vital element. Zooplankton are

microscopic free swimming animalcule components of an aquatic habitat which are primary

consumers of phytoplankton. These provide the main food item of fish and can be used as

indicators of the trophic phase of water body. In the present investigation, microfaunal study

of Masoli reservoir has been estimated to form a link between nutrient levels and diversity of

zooplankton. Study has been carried out for the period of one year i.e., from February 2018 to

January 2019 on monthly basis. The findings are discussed in full length paper.

ABSTRACT

Saponin containing Pericarp of Sapindus emarginatus fruit were tested for their effect

on Callosobruchus chinensis. It is most widespread and dreadful pest. The whole grain of

Phaeseolus aconitifolius were found to contain 23.3 % protein, while the infected hollow

grains had reduced protein contents. On exposure to ethanol, methanol and aqueous extracts

of Sapindus emarginatus, the percent protein loss in total grains at the said concentrations

was highly reduced indicating the saving of the proteins against the damage by

Callosobruchus chinensis. Protein loss was also minimized in different concentrations of

ethanol, methanol and aqueous extracts.

other disciplines. Seeing the Indian history it is found that Ayurveda plays major role in our country,

herbal drugs are found to used very popularly not only in India but worldwide it is accepted. Today

Ayurveda and scientific investigations are going hand in hand and working for new achievements.

Turmeric (Curcuma longa and Curcuma aromatica Salisb.) has been described in Ayurveda, as

treatment inflammatory diseases and is referred by different names in different cultures, active

principle called Curcumin or diferuloylmethane, a yellow pigment present in turmeric (curry powder)

has been shown to exhibit numerous activities. Curcumin is the major component found in Turmeric

and is interested area in between the researchers. The present study was aimed to review the

ethanobotanical properties,phytochemical and pharmacological properties of turmeric plant. The most

important part of turmeric is rhizome part widely used by different tribal communities. Turmeric

exhibits biological actions, which include anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, analgesic, antibacterial,

anti-fungal, anti-protozoal, anti-ulcer, hypocholesteremic activities also turmeric has shown anti-

cancer effect induced mainly mediated through induction of apoptosis and many more medicinal

values. Maharashtra state in India ranks sixth in area under turmeric cultivation.

In Maharashtra Sangali, Satara, Hingoli, Nanded, Parbhani are the major turmeric growing

districts. Sangli, a city of Maharashtra, is second only to Erode in size and importance as a production

STUDY OF ETHENOBOTANICAL PLANT'S USED ON

CALCULUS (Kidney and Galbladder stone problems)

Ladda R.G.

ACS College Gangakhed.

ABSTRACT

A stone in the kidney (or lower down in the urinary tract). Also called a kidney stone.

The stones themselves are called renal caluli. The word "calculus" (plural: calculi) is the

Latin word for pebble. Renal stones are a common cause of blood in the urine and pain in the

abdomen, flank, or groin. Kidney stones occur in 1 in 20 people at some time in their life.

The development of the stones is related to decreased urine volume or increased excretion of

stone-forming components such as calcium, oxalate, urate, cystine, xanthine, and phosphate.

The stones form in the urine collecting area (the pelvis) of the kidney and may range in size

from tiny to staghorn stones the size of the renal pelvis itself.In present paper local traditional

medicinal plants which are used as anti-calculus are collected by collecting information from

folk peoples, traditional practitioners and arranged alphabetical order with botanical name,

family and parts used.

Keywords : Calculus, traditional medicinal plants.

ABSTRACT

The branch of Pathology, Aerobiology plays a fundamental role in the transmission of

infectious diseases. As infectious disease and infection control practitioners continue

employing contemporary techniques. It deals with the computational fluid dynamics to study

particle flow, PCR methodologies to quantify particle concentrations in various settings, and

epidemiology to track the spread of disease), the central parameters and variables affecting

the airborne transmission of pathogens are becoming better known.

The study reviews many of these aerobiological parameters (e.g., particle size,

particle type, the duration that particles can remain airborne, the distance that particles can

travel, and meteorological and environmental factors), as well as the common origins of these

infectious particles, through transmission of infectious diseases through droplet air infection.

ABSTRACT

Aerobiology is a science, which deals with the source of organisms or the other

materials and their release into the atmosphere, transport, deposition and their impact on

various kinds of living beings like plants, animals and human beings. Such studies are also

known as "microbiology of the atmosphere".Increased awareness of environmental

biopollution has led to the monitoring and studying the aspect of biopollution. Both at

national and international levels health problems like allergy, asthma, pulmosis, rhinitis,

pulmonary disorders, and skin diseases prove the important of study of bioarosoles.

Importance of aerobiology in plant pathology and human health hazards is well

recognized.The present investigation is carried out to know the concentration of allergenic

fungal spores in the atmosphere and to correlate fungal spore concentration and allergic

diseases.The aerobiological investigations records 58 types,out of these, 3 belonging to

Phycomycetes, 13 to Ascomycetes, 4 to Basidiomycetes, 33 to Deuteromycetes and 5 to other

types. Deuteromycetes was the dominant group in both seasons. Its contribution in first and

second was 67.49% and 74.21% respectively, followed by Basidiomycetes (14.57% and

11.77%), Other types (9.39% and 6.99%), Ascomycetes (6.87% and 5.02%) and

Phycomycetes (1.65% and 1.98%). The present investigation would be useful for evolving

ABSTRACT

It is generally recognized that Indians spend 70% or more of their time indoors.

Despite this, relatively little research has been done on the quality of air in our homes,

development of red spinach in India. Vermin wash is good organic manure as a source of

almost all the essential nutrients is an important factor on crop growth. Vermin wash plays

important role in the plant growth and development when applied to soil and spread foliage.

It is excellent growth promoter as bio-pesticides in recent days the vermin wash is used as

liquid manure. The increasing use of chemical fertilizers to grow vegetables such as red

spinach has caused numerous problems related to the environment and human health. We are

prepared two concentration of vermin wash, like 25% concentration and 50% concentrations.

Experiment through pot culture and study was conducted to find out the effect of vermin

wash on red spinach plant. In pots we used red soil. After 15 days of germination spraying

was done. With following concentrations 25%, 50% and with out vermin wash (controlled).

The parameters such as plant height, shoot length, root length, number of branches, number

of leaves, leaf length and breadth of leaf where measured. Pot culture studies were carried

out to find out the effect of vermin wash spray on the growth and development of red

spinach. Red spinach growing was calculated and observed under all treatments (15, 20, 25)

days. Red spinach were grown significantly higher when compared to control group of plants.

The maximum growth of leaves and plants found with the spray concentration of 25% vermin

wash sprayed on 15, 20, 25 days after germination. In 50% concentration plant growth

inhibits. The growth of control plants (without spray of vermin wash) found to be poor. So

vermin wash normal concentrations increase the plant growth and development.

known to contain different bioactive compounds. It is observed that several algae have

stimulatory effects on seed germination and plant growth. The bioactive compounds present

in algae have antimicrobial properties. The biochemicals which are present in algae improve

seed germination, seedling development and increases plant tolerance to environmental

stresses. Algae are important members of plant world and several of them are significant to

man in many ways. They are beneficial in the field of Agriculture, Industry, Medical Science,

Space research, Bio-diesel production and Bioremediation. They gain importance in the

modern time not only as an alternative potential source of protein for man but also as the

primary source of food for aquatic animals. Algae are also considered as rich source of fats,

vitamins, minerals and antimicrobial compounds. It was also observed that the algae are

found to be stimulatory for the seed germination and plant growth. In the present

investigation, extracts of Phormidium mucosum were prepared in different solvants and used

to study their effects on seed germination of three legumes viz.Cicer arientinum (Chickpea),

Phaseolus radiata (Green-gram) and Vigna mungo (Black-gram). The minimum percentage

of germination was recorded in toluene extract (60-65%) which was similar to control and

maximum percentage was recorded in acetone extract (95-100%) and followed by hot water,

chloroform and petroleum ether (80-85%).The cold water, methanol, and ethanol algal

extracts showed good percentage (70-75%).Present investigation reveals that, Phormidium

ABSTRACT

The term plankton refers to those microscopic aquatic forms having little or, no

resistance to the water current and are free floating and suspended in open or pelagic waters.

The planktonic plants are referred to as "Phytoplankton (microscopic algae and Bacteria)

occurs as unicellular, colonial or filamentous forms. The Phytoplankton sampling and

physicochemical parameters on monthly basis were carried out for a period of two years from

Godavari River water. Standard keys and other literature were used for identification of

different species. Four major groups of phytoplankton (Chlorophyceae Bacilloriophyceae,

Cynophyceae and Euglenophyceae.) were studied for diversity and seasonal abundance.

Among the groups of phytoplanktons, the population density showed variations due to their

adaptability to seasonal changes in water quality. Some plankton population disappeared at a

specified period and reappeared during other period. This disappearance may be due to the

fact that some species occur in spores, under favorable conditions spore germinate and appear

as plankton. Assessment of river water bodies with reference to species diversity of flora was

done in three different seasons’ summer, monsoon and winter.

KEYWORDS:Godavari River Water, Water quality, Phytoplankton diversity.

P.O. Box No-27, Aurangabad (MS)

ABSTRACT

Endophytes are unknown symbionts that live in plant tissues without indicating their

presence. The association of endophytes with plants is well established. They not only help in

water and mineral uptake but also play an important role in metabolic activities of certain

plants. Endophytes play an imperative role to maintain the health of plants, as they can

protect or prepare the plant against abiotic and biotic stresses and help in enhancing growth

and yields. In present investigation about endophytes in plants, Indian laburnum (Cassia

fistula L.), a flowering plant found mostly in India and South Asia belonging to legume

family of angiosperm was used. Traditionally the leaves of plant are used for skin diseases,

burning sensation, dry cough, dysentery, inflammation, fever etc. Isolates from leaves

collected from Aurangabad district of Marathwada region in India showed the presence of

fungal endophytes. Fungal strains like Phyllosticta fallopiae, Colletotrichum cobbittiense and

Diaporthe brasiliensis was found.

ABSTRACT

The ability of different natural plant extracts was carried out to find out their effects

on the fungi mostly some phytopathogenic fungi like Alternaria alternata , Fusarium

oxysporum and Aspergillus flavus. In vitro studies were carried out to test the antifungal

activity of selected four plant extracts. The results shown that plants extracts had a strong

antifungal activity with significant inhibition on the growth of the all tested fungi. Extracts of

Azadirachta indica and Jatropha curcas were the most effective to inhibit the growth of the

tested fungi. Different concentrations of plant extract of A. indica were studied on the growth

of Aspergillus flavus and Alternaria alternata. Findings of this study confirmed that selected

plant extracts can be used as natural safe fungicides as biocontrol for phytopathogenic fungi,

thus reducing the dependence on the synthetic chemical fungicides. Azadirachta indica

extract, which was found to be the most efficient extract, might be a shows potential agent for

controlling these fungi.

ABSTRACT

The present study was undertaken to evaluate invitro antifungal activity of

Spondias pinnata Kurz. against Collettrichum falcatum Went., a pathogen causing red rot

disease in sugarcane. The pathogen was isolated from the infected samples of sugarcane

stems and identified on the basis of morphological and cultural characteristics using standard

literature. The plant Spondias pinnata Kurz. is reported to show very strong antifungal

potential against the tested pathogen. The highest mycelial inhibition (88.8%) of the pathogen

was achieved by Acetone extract followed by (83%) inhibition by ethylacetate extract and

(77.7%) inhibition by ethanol extract. Preliminary phytochemical analysis of the plant

extracts showed the presence of secondary metabolites such as alkaloids, carbohydrates,

cardiac glycosides, flavonoids, phenols, tannins, steroids and saponins ( only in ethanol

extract) while terpenoids and proteins/aminoacids were absent in all the extracts. HPTLC

analysis of the extracts was conducted for further separation and standardization of the

phytochemicals.

Sadhana Salve and Suchita Rajurkar

ABSTRACT

Banana is an important fruit crop in India. Banana fruit plays a vital role in

human nutrition by providing the essential growth factors such as vitamins and

minerals in human daily diet. During ripening, starch contents are gradually converted

to sucrose, glucose and fructose. Semi ripened and ripened fruits are susceptible to

attack by microorganisms because of their high moisture and rich nutrients. The

banana fruit was infected by Verticillium theobromae, Fusarium moniliforme,

Cladosporium musae and Fusarium oxysporum. These fungal pathogens reduced

biochemical quantity of banana fruit such as dry weight, crude fiber, ash, crude

protein, reducing sugar, calcium, potassium, phosphorous and nitrogen.

Dept. of Botany, Maharashtra Udayagiri Mahavidyalaya, Udgir.

ABSTRACT

Medicinal plants are a rich source of natural products used to treat many diseases;

therefore, they are the basis for a new drug discovery. Plants are capable of generating

different bioactive secondary metabolites, but a large amount of botanical material is often

necessary to obtain small amounts of the target substance.Endophytes are able to produce

highly diverse compounds, including those from host plants that have important biological

activities. In the present work isolation of endophytic fungi was carried out.Twenty five

isolates of endophytic fungi were collected from the leaves of Solanum nigrum Linn. All

isolates wereidentified based on colony morphology and examination of spores and fruiting

bodies using stereo and light microscopes. Twenty isolates belonging to 05 genera were

recorded, viz. Cladosporium sp., Trichoderma sp., Monilia sp., Fusarium sp., Penicillium

sp,while 07 strains were unidentified. The dominant genera found were Monilia sp. and

Fusarium sp. Thus, there seemed to be a significantdifference in the genera of endophytic

fungi from Solanum nigrum Linn.

Assessment of Morphological Characteristics, Growth and Sporulation of

the field isolate Magnaporthe oryzae ch1.

Kalpana Kulkarni and Swati Peshwe

ABSTRACT

Rice is the most important staple food crop after wheat. India is one of the largest

producer of rice accounting yearly 20% of the world’s population. Magnaporthe oryzae is the

most devastating pathogen causes blast disease in rice. It is among ten top most important

fungal and bacterial diseases in plants and are found in almost every paddy field where rice is

grown. It has been reported in recent years about its occurence as a wheat blast as well.

Magnaporthe oryzae is an infectious fungus and is distributed worldwide across more than 85

countries. This fungus attacks rice host at any growth stage of rice plant parts or infect rice

grain after harvest causing considerable losses in the quantity and quality of the produce.

Various strategies are being deployed to control disease on field.

Blast fungus is highly evolving and hence characterization of the fungus in laboratory

is very crucial aspect in the study of blast disease in depth. In the present study, different

carbon, nitrogen and mineral sources were used in combination as media components so as to

understand nutritional requirements of this phytopathogen. Natural and synthetic media

formulations were assessed for mycelial yield using broth media. Radial growth pattern was

observed on 11th day of inoculation on solid media. Dextrose, yeast extract and K2HPO4 were

found to play a key role in the growth of this fungus in laboratory. In natural media, Oat meal

agar served to better media for growth and sporulation as compared to potato dextrose agar

and Soyabean Casein agar. Triseptate spores were observed under haemocytometer. Total

viable count was performed for sporulation on media plates. Morphology of fungal mycelia

on various media plates showed varied patterns of septation and melanization which reveals

role of pigmentation in the sporulation.

Keywords:Blast disease, phytopathogen, rice, mycelial yield, melanization.

ABSTRACT

Bhoom tehsil comes under the territory of Osmanabad district which is located

between 18°27'32.2812" North Latitude and 75°39'41.6700" East Longitudes. The survey

area was located on Deccan plateau and was found mostly rocky in formation having

cultivated forest areas. Being barren, the land was dried except for the rainy season. The

damage of the trees was mostly due to the wood spoilage caused due to wood rotting macro

fungi. After monsoon, these organisms revive and begin to produce spores very quickly. Even

though these fungi have been considered as destroyer of dicotyledonous wood, being the

member ecosystem they may have positive role in recycling process of decomposed wood

into humus.The present research survey was carried out during July 2014 till December 2017.

Around more than 36 specimens were collected found on different host of angiospermic trees.

All the wood deteriorating lignicolous macro fungi belonging to order Aphyllophorales fall

under the 14 taxa. Species enumeration shows that Phellinus were abundant followed by

Ganoderma and Trametes, Scytinostroma. Frequently occurring hosts were Acacia arabica,

Leucaena leucocephala, Gliricidia sepium, Mangifera indica, Tamarindus

indica,Azadirachta indica, etc. Phellinus badius and Ganoderma lucidum was also observed

as dominating representative of these areas. Species like Duportella tristicula, Irpex

vellereus,Loweporus tephropours, Navisporus floccosus, Podoscypha petalodes, Porostereum

spadiceum, Pyrofomes albomarginatus and Trametes leolina, Trametes variegate, Pellinus

allardii are rarely found due to unfavourable condition for the development.

Mycoflora Isolation Form White Pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo L.)

Anil U. Kulkarni & Shrimant A. Survase


Lal Bahadur Shastri Senior College, Partur Dist. Jalna 431501, (M.S.) India

ABSTRACT

The word “Pumpkin” is derived from the Latin word pepo, which is a botanical

term for fruit with a hard rind and fleshy interior. Commonly, any Cucurbita fruit with an

orange color is considered a Pumpkin; however, Cucurbita cultivars with white fruit, such as

‘Lumina’ and ‘Cotton Candy’ are also considered pumpkins. In the United States, any

cultivar of C. pepo L.used for baking, food stock, or Halloween jack-o-lanterns is considered

a pumpkin. The disease is caused by a fungal pathogen that infects many different vegetable

hosts, survives in our soils indefinitely, and spreads quickly within and among fields in

seasons with typical midwestern temperatures and rainfall patterns. Symptoms on Pumpkins

often are discovered first on the surface of mature fruit, but vines of infected plants

eventually collapse and die. The soft rot associated with a rapidly expanding area of white,

cottony mold on any part of the fruit is a very characteristic symptom of the disease. Present

investigation had been made on the isolation of fungal biodiversity from the white pumpkin

.The sample were put on PDA media, isolation and identification were made with help of

standard literature. Ten dominating fungi were isolated from various sample of pumpkin.

Fungi like Aspergillus niger, A. flavus; Fusarium, Phytopthora and Penicillium were

dominated. Post harvesting, fruits shows maximum fungal biodiversity.

Phaseolus Aconitifolius Grains Caused by Callosobruchus Chinensis

Bajad P. N., *Pardeshi A. B. and Pagore V. P.

ABSTRACT

Saponin containing Pericarp of Sapindus emarginatus fruit were tested for their effect

on Callosobruchus chinensis. It is most widespread and dreadful pest. The whole grain of

Phaeseolus aconitifolius were found to contain 23.3 % protein, while the infected hollow

grains had reduced protein contents. On exposure to ethanol, methanol and aqueous extracts

of Sapindus emarginatus, the percent protein loss in total grains at the said concentrations

was highly reduced indicating the saving of the proteins against the damage by

Callosobruchus chinensis. Protein loss was also minimized in different concentrations of

ethanol, methanol and aqueous extracts.

ABSTRACT

From Vedic era to save the crops from the attack of pests and diseases, peoples used

crude chemical, animal and plant materials. Biological control is cost effective, eco-friendly

and an innovative. Synthetic chemicals cause severe and long-term environmental pollution

and are highly and acutely toxic and can even cause cancer in humans and wild animals. Also,

pathogens may become resistant to many of these chemicals. The aim of the present work was

to determine inhibitory activity of Syzygium cumini L. leaf extracts on fungi. The efficacy was

studiedby poisoned food technique against pathogenic fungi. The leaf extract was used at

various concentrations viz., 10-100%, while the five pathogenic fungi under investigation

were Fusarium incarnatum, Alternaria citri, Colletotrichum musae, Colletotrichum sp. and

Gibberella avenaceum. Among the fungi maximum growth inhibition was observed in case of

Gibberella avenaceum (66.54 %), followed by Fusarium incarnatum (65.04 %), Alternaria

citri (55.64 %), Colletotrichum musae (26.02%) and Colletotrichum sp. (8.96 %) at 100%

concentration. The differences in percent inhibition among the fungi as well as due to various

concentrations of leaf extract were statistically significant (p=0.01).

ABSTRACT

Since historical period the algae are used as food, fodder and fertilizer. The algae are

known to contain different bioactive compounds. It is observed that several algae have

stimulatory effects on seed germination and plant growth. The bioactive compounds present

in algae have antimicrobial properties. The biochemicals which are present in algae improve

seed germination, seedling development and increases plant tolerance to environmental

stresses. Algae are important members of plant world and several of them are significant to

man in many ways. They are beneficial in the field of Agriculture, Industry, Medical Science,

Space research, Bio-diesel production and Bioremediation. They gain importance in the

modern time not only as an alternative potential source of protein for man but also as the

primary source of food for aquatic animals. Algae are also considered as rich source of fats,

vitamins, minerals and antimicrobial compounds. It was also observed that the algae are

found to be stimulatory for the seed germination and plant growth. In the present

investigation, extracts of Phormidium mucosum were prepared in different solvants and used

to study their effects on seed germination of three legumes viz.Cicer arientinum (Chickpea),

Phaseolus radiata (Green-gram) and Vigna mungo (Black-gram). The minimum percentage

of germination was recorded in toluene extract (60-65%) which was similar to control and

maximum percentage was recorded in acetone extract (95-100%) and followed by hot water,

chloroform and petroleum ether (80-85%).The cold water, methanol, and ethanol algal

extracts showed good percentage (70-75%).Present investigation reveals that, Phormidium

mucosum contains certain growth promoting substances which enhances the seed

germination.

Adulsa (Adhatoda zeylanica Medic). is a sub-herbaceous and evergreen medicinal

plant viz. indigenous to India. It is commonly known as Adhatoda, Adulsa, Vasaka, etc. This

plant grown as fencing and as an ornamental plant in pots. The utilization of this plant has

been known since ancient time and is being used in different formulations of Ayurveda. Since

200 yrs, roots and leaves of this plant are being used to cure cough, rheumatism, malaria,

fever, chronic fever, intrinsic hemorrhage, asthma, leprosy, skin diseases, piles and many

respiratory disorders. It is also reported as an expectorant, abortificiant, antimicrobial,

antitussive and anticancerous. Hence, this plant has great demand in market in the form of

crude drugs. In India, the total demand is above 500 t/yr viz. congregated from wild

populations. The leaves, which have great medicinal importance are infected due to attack of

fungal pathogens i.e. Alternaria alternata causing leaf blight; Aecidium adhatodae and

Chnoospora butleri causing leaf rust; Colletotrichum dematium causing anthracnose, while

Cercospora adhatodae, Colletotrichum capsici, Drechslera speciferum, Phoma vasicae and

Corynespora cassicola causing leaf spot. Therefore, these fungal pathogens are responsible

for decrease in active ingredients of plant, hence selected for detailed studies. The present

2Department of Microbiology, Tuljaram Chaturchand College, Baramati 413102, MS, India

3School of Life Sciences, KBC North Maharashtra University, Jalgaon 425001, MS, India

ABSTRACT

Interaction between biology and radiations has been a research area since long time.

Among the various radiations, ionizing radiations are known to cause lethal effects on

biological system. Higher doses of gamma rays have been extensively used for the

sterilization of food and other materials. However, the low dose of gamma irradiation may

not be lethal. Various cells show different mechanisms to deal with low doses of gamma

irradiation. In recent years low dose of gamma has gained importance in improving microbial

strains. Photosynthetic cyanobacteria are most primitive entities and bear capacity to develop

various ways to cope up with abiotic stresses; both ionizing as well as non-ionizing radiations

and heavy metals. The present study was aimed to understand the interactions between

cyanobacteria and abiotic stresses mainly due to gamma radiation and heavy metals.

Cyanobacterial cultures were exposed to various doses of gamma (20, 40, 60, 80 and 100

Gray). The growth parameters such as dry weight and chlorophyll content were checked for

gamma exposed cultures. In each batch 3 tubes each of 2 cultures (total 6) were exposed to

gamma source for 10 min (15 Gy). On exposure the cultures were inoculated in BG-11

medium and kept for incubation at 25C under illumination of fluorescent tubes in

cyanobacterial laboratory. Cultures were further tested for their tolerance to cadmium, zinc,

copper, chromium, iron and manganese (0-20 mg/l). The tolerance level differed with type of

metal and culture. Microlalgal cultures viz. Chlorella sp., Spirulina sp NMU-101,

Oscillatoria claricentrosa NMU-102, Synechococcus sp. and Synechocystis sp. NMU-177

exhibited highest tolerance for Cadmium, Zinc, Copper, Manganese, Chromium and Iron.

Zinc, manganese and iron increased the tolerance of microalgae to gamma radiation when

irradiated in presence of metals. The results indicated that heavy metals help in increasing the

tolerance of microalgae to gamma radiation.

SEASONAL VARIATIONS OF PHYTOPLANKTON IN AMBALWADI

RESERVOIR AT PARLI – V.

Munde V.R.

Late, Laxmibai Deshmukh Mahila College, Parli- V.

ABSTRACT

Present investigation deals with the qualitative information on seasonal variations of

phytoplankton in Ambalwadi reservoir at parli –Taluka. Phytoplankton plays an important

role as primary production i.e. food for herbivorous animals. Phytoplankton acts as biological

indicators of water quality and its pollution. The present investigation was carried out on

Ambalwadi reservoir for period of one year from June 2017 to may 2018. The samples are

collected from the surface water by filtering 100 liters of water through plankton net having a

mesh size of 30 m. during investigation18 species of Phytoplankton’s belonged to four

classes were identified.Phytoplanktons are representing microscopic algal communities of

open water as a major element in aquatic biota. Phytoplankton is the pioneer of an aquatic

food chain. The productivity of an aquatic environment is directly correlated with the density

of phytoplankton. The population of Phytoplankton in any aquatic system is biological wealth

of water for fishes and constitutes a vital link in the food chain. Algae contribute a part of the

food chain in the aquatic environment and any change in its growth and composition will

alter the other living sources including the fishes. Phytoplankton response immediately to the

surrounding changes and hence it indicates the water quality. Aquatic environment

supporting Hydrophytes vegetation is endowed with luxurious growth of algae. Considerable

work has been carried out in India about systematic, survey, distribution, Periodicity, and

ecology of algae in several habitats. The density of plankton in a water body determines the

stocking rate of fishes because they are the chief source of food of many economically

important fishes plankton, due to its key role in ecosystem of the environment, is directly

related to the fish catch potential of a reservoir. Phytoplankton plays an important role in

the biosynthesis of organic matter in an aquatic ecosystem. It serves for all living organism of

water body as food of fishes. Phytoplankton also plays key role in the ecosystem of the

environment. The healthy aquatic ecosystem depends on the abiotic properties of water and

the biological diversity of the ecosystem (Harikrishananet.al. 1999). The Phytoplankton and

Zooplankton are always inversely proportional in an aquatic environment because the

Zooplankton feed on the Phytoplankton.

ABSTRACT

Phytoplankton study provides a relevant and convenient point of focus for research

on the mechanism of eutrophication and its adverse impact on an aquatic ecosystem. Algal

flora constitutes a vital link in food chain whose productivity depended on the quality of

water at a given time. The planktonic study is a very useful tool for the assessment of water

quality in any type of reservoir which contributes to understand the basic nature and general

economy of the lake.Aurangabad city, a district in Maharashtra State, is one amongst the

fastest growing cities in Asia. Aurangabad is one of the cities from Marathwada region with

historic significance where the oldest lakes like; Nehru Lake, Harsul Lake and Salim Ali

Lake are placed.Salim ali lake supplied water under the ancient water supply scheme of

‘Nahar-e-Ambari’. Originally, the area of the pond was 54 acres. It reduced to 34 acres when

it lost 20 acres in the construction of Aurangabad-Jalgaon road.Nehru Lake is situated in

Nehru Udyan of N-8 CIDCO area, which is one of the oldest lakes in this historical city. The

Harsul Lake is located North-East of the Aurangabad city. It is 2 km away from Harsul jail.

Catchment area of Harsul lake is 16054 Acers. It was constructed in 1954 and inaugurated on

5th June 1956. Water supply by Harsul Lake to Aurangabad city is about 1,00,0000 MCD.In

present research work the diversity of phytoplankton, their distribution and abundance in

Nehru Lake, Harsul Lake and Salim Ali Lake were studied. It is observed that,

Bacillariophycea, Euglenophyceae and Dinophyceae were found maximum at all the three

ABSTRACT

Grape is one of important cash crop grown in our country. India is one of the major

grape and wine producing country in world. In India, Maharashtra ranks first in grape

production as well as in grape cultivation. Grapes are affected by various fungal diseases.

Along with powdery mildew and downy mildew, anthracnose of grapes is also one of the

major and severe problem to the grape cultivatiours. Anthracnose of grapes is caused by

Gleosporium ampelophagum. It is a serious disease in orchards of grapes in Maharashtra

State. Altogether 37 isolates were collected from different grape growing districts of

Maharashtra to study the morphological variation. All the isolates were screened with

different fungicides to check the fungicide resistance. To break the fungicide resistant various

biocontrol agents were also used for study. Biocontrols like Gliocladium virens, Trichoderma

atroviride -1, T. atroviride -2, T. atroviride -3, T. atroviride-4, T. harzianum, T. koningii, T.

pseudokoningii, T. viride, Chaetomium globusum, Penicillium notatum,Penicillium spp. were

ABSTRACT

Due to hazardous effect of chemical fungicides, search for safer alternative to control

the pathogen is better choice. This led to trials on the use of bioagents to control the

pathogen. In the present study in vitro antagonistic activity using the dual culture technique

and paper disc method was undertaken to assess the potential of Trichoderma harzianum,

Trichoderma viride and Pseudomonas fluorescens. It showed inhibitory effects on some

common pathogens of Pigeon Pea namely Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus fumigates,

Alternaria alternata Fusarium oxysporum M. Phaseolina Rhizoctonia solani. The test

antagonists grow faster than the pathogen and produced inhibition zones thereby limiting the

growth of the pathogen. Maximum growth inhibition of Fusarium oxysporum (81.8%),

Macrophomina phaseolina (84.2%) Aspergillus flavus (74.53%) and Aspergillus fumigatus

(77.77%) were found with the use of Trichoderma harzianum in dual culture and

P.fluorescens in paper disc. In in vitro tests, Trichoderma harzianum, Trichoderma viride and

Pseudomonas fluorescens showed significant differences in inhibiting the colony growth of

the said fungal pathogens.

ABSTRACT

Common or vernacular names of plants are christened in vernacular language by

common peopleover a long past. These names emerge out from the mist of times and are

passed by word of mouth over generations. Such names are therefore enriched with the

experiences, observations and wisdom of the concerned human society. These hidden

secretes are hardly earthed by the scientific community, particularly by botanists, as they

have perforce been forced to follow the rules of ICBN. Coconut palm is widely distributed

and hence received a vast array of names worldwide. Moreover, its nativityhas remained a

subject of debate and object of many investigations they are hence analysed etymologically in

this communication. Its nativity, history and migration apart from the root words for coining

names are highlightened. Some hard evidences have been also comparatively discussed to

lend support while arriving at its nativity as Indo-Pacific vis-a-vis Asian.

ABSTRACT

The unwanted plant species growing in ordinary environmental conditions are popularly known as

weeds. Diversity of weeds in agricultural field is mainly depend on agricultural practices such as

irrigation pattern, topography, use of fertilizers, socio economic condition, spraying and diversity of

habitats. Weed diversity in agricultural field having dual importance, firstly most of weeds are used a

source of cattle feed and secondly various weed species are traditionally used in ayurvedic practices,

in the wake of that weeds may resolves enormous loss of crop yield and low yield may directly affect

on farmers economy. Now a day’s farmers are using more herbicides in crop field to control the

major threat from weeds because they know weeds are dwelling the fungi, bacteria, thrips and

variety of insects. Mostly the weeds are categorized in belong to the family Commelinaceae,

Poaceae, Cyperaceae etc. are more dominant over the present herbicides, but they can only

eradicated by following traditional practices. Generally, they are primary competitors for the crops,

lawn, orchard, gardens etc. hence these are the hazardous to creating major problem which

decrease the economy, hence the proposed study carried out in 2016-2019 to study weed diversity

of the Marathwada Region of Maharashtra State. During the field extensive field exploration we

collected the 168 weed species from Marathwada region in respect of detailed morphology,

flowering and fruiting season, weed type, present occurrence, ecological notes and medicinal

importance. Among them about 20 weed species are rare from agricultural fields. The weeds of the

region generally classified into two categories viz. monsoon weed and autumn weeds. Weed flora is

having luxurious growth with habitual diversity in monsoon season due to enough rainfall and

availability of moisture in soil but in autumn they are weaker and showing less diversity. Key Words:

ABSTARACT

Leaves are probably the most varied organs of the angiosperm. Carlquist (1961) has

reported the valuable role of leaf anatomy in taxonomy. Irvine (1961), Metcalfe and chalk

(1983) reported the use of epidermal characters such as leaf surface, epidermal cell wall

pattern, nature of stomata as identifiable aids of some families and genera and sometimes for

species. Metcalfe and Chalk (1950) reported a diversity in stomatal types in a tribe, a genus,

or a species in the papilionaceae. They mentioned a rubiaceous (paracytic) stomata in

Alysicarpus. In the presently investigated Alysicarpus variants revealed three type of stomata

i.e. paracytic, anisocytic, anomocytic; the epidermal cell are isodiametric, polygonal,

hexagonal, rectangular, irregular and anticlinal walls were observed viz. straight, undulate,

curved and slightly wavy.Shah (1969) has revealed that there is a diversity of stomata even

on the same species. In the present investigation it was found that the stomata are present on

Adaxial as well as Abaxial surface. Paracytic stomata is predominant type which is found in

all the 41 taxa under investigation.

cardiovascular health pertaining to the heart itself. It has a large variety of bioactive, with the

water extract showing promise at improving left ventricle function of the heart without any

observable toxicity of side effects when taken at 500mg thrice a day (every 8 hours). There

are numerous human studies conducted on Arjuna bark, although many of them are low in

sample size. Nevertheless, the water extract appears to be effective in improving cardiac

function in persons who have recently undergone cardiac trauma or injury; Myocardial

Infarction is the most commonly researched ailment in this regard. Only one study exists on

otherwise healthy persons, but Arjuna showed benefit in improving left ventricle function in

an exercise test and the benefits may affect a person regardless of health state. Fragile,

profuse growth of callus was recorded on MS supplemented with 1 mg/lit 2,4-D.

STUDTY OF PLANT TISSUE CULTURE METHOD

S.P. Gaikwad , Head, Dept. Of Botany,

Late.Nitin Arts & Science College,

Pathri, Dist. Parbhani

ABSTRACT

Plant research often involves growing new plants in a controlled environment. These

may be plants that we have genetically altered in some way or may be plants of which we

need many copies all exactly alike. These things can be accomplished through tissue culture

of small tissue pieces from the plant of interest. These small pieces may come from a single

mother plant or they may be the result of genetic transformation of single plant cells which

are then encouraged to grow and to ultimately develop into a whole plant. Tissue culture

techniques are often used for commercial production of plants as well as for plant research.

(Contact details: Dr. Jawale C.S. 9422770869, [email protected])

ABSTRACT

The effect of alcoholic extract of C. nocturnumwas observed on Clariasbatrachus and

LC50 value was noted. The animal was exposed to ⅓LC50 value, (0.933 ppm) for 48 hrs.

Oxygen consumption was decreased in the treated fish as compared to the control fish.

Reduced SDH and elevated LDH levels were observed in liver, gills and muscles upon

exposure to piscicidal extract. This indicates that the piscicidal extract of C. nocturnumleaves

impairs the respiratory enzyme activity in Clariousbatrachusand hence has a lethal effect.

Comparative studies of bacterial degradation of azo dye Direct

Red 81

Sahasrabudhe Madhuri

Associate Professor, Dept of Microbiology, Maulana Azad College,

Aurangabad, Maharashtra, India

[email protected]

Abstract

Textile and dye industries generate large volumes of waste water. The generation and

disposal of insufficiently treated of coloured wastewaters is environmentally hazardous. Such

wastewater leads to dye contamination of the environment such as soil and natural water

bodies. Coloured wastewater is aesthetically unacceptable and it also affects aquatic

ecosystem by decreasing the light penetration and solubility of gases. Some synthetic dyes

such as azo dyes are carcinogenic or mutagenic. Biological treatment methods are cheap and

offer best alternative as compared to physico-chemical methods.

Microbial decolourization and degradation is environmentally friendly and cost competitive

alternative to physico-chemical decomposition processes for the industrial effluents. In the

present study, Direct Red 81 was used a model azo dye. Bacteria selected for the study

include Enterococcus faecalis, Georgeniasp, Micrococcus glutamicusNCIM 2168, Bacillus

cereus and Pseudomonas sp. Effect of various physico chemical factors was studied to detect

optima for pH, temperature and dye concentration. Degradation was confirmed by Uv-Vis

absorption, TLC, HPLC studies. Enzymes involved in degradation studies were found to be

oxidoreductases. Toxicity studies revealed nontoxic nature of the degradation products.

Hence the isolates having ability to degrade and detoxify the dye can be successfully

used for treatment of coloured wastewater.

Abstract

Industrial pollution is generally referred to undesirable out come when factories like

paint, electroplating and tannery industries allows harm fulby-product like metals and was

teinto environment such as air or water bodies, deposition on land fill sector emission of

toxic chemicals into atmosphere. Chronic health issues are high due to soil contaminated

with industrial waste. So microorganisms can be used as apotential detoxifires of such

metals. Metal containing waste can be biotechnologically treated to either recyclemetal

values from the waste or to remove un wanted metal-compound. In this paper species of

Bacillus is used to detoxify the hexavalent chromium from the metal containing solution.

The isolates were screened by enriching the soil in the Nutrient broth. The cultures were

isolated by streaking on the Nutrient agar plates. Later the isolates were exposed to 25-100

ppm concentration of Potassium dichromate solution in Nutrient broth from which 3

isolates were streaked on nutrient agar plates containg 100ppm of Potassium dichromate

solution.The identified isolates were used as a potent detoxifiers and further used for

chromium detoxification

An Insight into E-waste: Exploring its toxicity and preciousness.


1Department of Biotechnology, Government Institute of Science, Aurangabad (M.S), India.2

Director, Government Institute of Science, Aurangabad (M.S), India.

Abstract

According to Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India

(ASSOCHAM) 2 million tonnes per annum (TPA) of E-waste is generated by India of which

12% is contributed by telecom equipment alone. Apart from India, other top listed generators

of E-waste are United States, China, Germany and Japan. Considering the global rise in e-

waste this review is thus intended to understand the two diametric aspects of e-waste. One is

its high degree of metal toxicity and the other is the valuable treasure of precious metals that

it harbours. The conventional methods of dumping and burning of e-waste is deteriorating the

health of our planet. The world we are living in is getting polluted by numerous toxic metals

leaching out of e-waste. The sea water, ground water, land and air are getting affected

everywhere. E- waste toxicity is majorly exerting negative health effect on the urban poor

involved in recycling of ewaste manually. The most vulnerable been women and children.

Chromium, Lead, mercury, indium, antimony, molybdenum and vanadium are one of the

several toxic and allergenic metals contained in e-waste. Most of these compounds are

released during recycling of e-waste. Manual recycling of e-waste by non-formal sector of

society is aware of the precious metal content of e-waste but ignorant about its devasting

effect on community health and environment. Gold, platinum, palladium, silver and copper

are the key precious metals inside the womb of e- waste. Thus, urban mining for pulling

valuable metals for economic prospects is becoming popular among most developing

countries. This review paper aims to spread awareness among consumers to understand the

excess obsolescence generated because of fast replacement of electronic gadgets. As a

responsible citizen we must develop a positive attitude in maintaining the health of our planet

by reducing, reusing and recycling e-waste.

Keywords: E-waste; ASSOCHAM; Gold, Lead; Obsolescence; recycle.

Analysis of Enzyme Activity during Vermicomposting of Organic Wastes

(Corn cob and Cauliflower) employing the Earthworm Eudriluseugeniae

Vishal Bedre1 and BalrajKhobragade*

PG Department of Zoology, Ahmednagar College, Ahmednagar – 414 001 Maharashtra (India) *Corresponding author: [email protected]

1Present address: Department of Zoology, TuljaramChaturchand College of Arts, Science & Commerce,

Baramati, Dist. Pune (Maharashtra) India.

ABSTRACT

The quality of vermicompost depends on the substrate acted upon by enzymes in the

earthworm gut. The extent of enzyme activity varies as per the substrate and the stage of

vermicomposting operation. Keeping this in view, the present study was undertaken to

analyse the enzyme activity during various stages of vermicomposting of the corn cob and

cauliflower waste using the earthworm species Eudriluseugeniaepopularly knownas ‘African

Night Crawler’. Enzyme activity in the gut of earthworm during the composting process was

investigated, which revealed that corn cob showed good enzyme activity as compared to

cauliflower waste. Enzymatic analysis provided evidence of presence of the enzymes namely

amylase, invertase and urease in the gut of Eudriluseugeniae. Quantitative analysis of the

enzymes recorded maximum amylase and invertase activity to be 11.2 and 9.6 µg/ml/min and

8.33 and 6.46 µg/ml/min at 30th day interval; whereas, maximum ureaseactivity was found to

be 3.8 and 6.1 µg/ml/min at 45th day interval; in the gut content of Eudriluseugeniae fed on

corn cob and cauliflower waste, respectively. It is suggested that corn cob waste and

cauliflower waste can be used as good organic substrate in vercomposting by the earthworm

species Eudriluseugeniae. It can be concluded that ‘vermitechnology’ is an efficient and

secure substitute tool having tremendous prospective in organic waste management.
