Three types of three layer particleboard i.e., stem particleboard (SPB), branch particleboard (BPB) and stem-branch mixed particleboard (SBPB) were manufactured with 10% commercial urea formaldehyde (UF) resin. Physical properties i.e., density, moisture content (MC), water absorption (WA), thickness swelling (TS), Linear expansion (LE) and mechanical properties i.e., modulus of elasticity (MOE) and modulus of rupture (MOR) of the particleboards were investigated according to the procedure of ASTM D-1037 standard. Density of SPB, BPB and SBPB were 932, 787.5 and 854.83 Kg/m, respectively. MOE of SPB, BPB and SBPB were 2714 N/mm², 2010 N/mm² and 2509 N/mm², respectively. MOR of SPB, PB and SBPB were 23.31 N/mm², 14.65 N/mm² and 21.85 N/mm², respectively. Based on the particle types and percentage of particles in the formulation, the properties of bhadi particleboard varied. Among the three types of particleboard, SPB and SBPB particleboard met the minimum ANSI A208.1 requirements of physical and mechanical properties for H-2 grade particleboard. Also it was observed that, the properties of SPB and SBPB particleboard are comparable to the properties of commercial particleboard produced in Bangladesh.  <#LINE#> @ @ Islam M.A. Alam M.A. and Hannan M.O., Multiresponse optimization based on statistical response surface methodology and desirability function for the production of particleboard, Compos Part B,43, 861-868 (2012) @No $ @ @ Kalam M.K.

<#LINE#>Sequence Analysis of Putative luxS Gene Involved in Prodigiosin Biosynthesis from Philippine Local Strains of Serratia marcescens<#LINE#>KatrinaC.@Martinez,FrancoG.@Teves,Madamba@Ma.ReinaSuzetteB.<#LINE#>13-19<#LINE#>3.ISCA-IRJBS-2013-015.pdf<#LINE#> Department of Biological Sciences, College of Science and Mathematics, MSU-Iligan Institute of Technology, Iligan City 9200, PHILIPPINES <#LINE#>31/1/2013<#LINE#>6/2/2013<#LINE#>Prodigiosin produced by Serratia marcescens is a bacterial metabolite that has antibiotic, immunosuppressive and anticancer properties involving the luxS gene.  The putative luxS gene of the five local S. marcescens strains (B1748, B111, B112, B211, and B212) was amplified by PCR and sequenced and their nucleotide and amino acid sequences were characterized through bioinformatics. The resulting putative luxS nucleotide sequences of the five local strains are highly similar to the nucleotide sequence of two strains of S. marcescens in the EMBL database (Acc. No. EF164926.1 and Acc. No. AJ628150.1) having a maximum identity of 98%, 94%, 97%, 98%, and 100% respectively. However, the five local strains were more related to the clade of EF164926.1 than that of AJ628150.1 using neighbor-joining method of MEGA ver.5.  BLASTP Homology search was done and B1748 and B212 strains showed a high degree of homology (100%) with a protein product of the luxS gene of Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Salmonella enterica correspondingly. In addition, a putative conserved domain was detected in all protein sequences from the local strains of S. marcescens. The conserved domain was in the luxS superfamily consisting of the luxS protein involved in autoinducer AI-2 synthesis and its hypothetical relatives. Results of in silico analyses used in this study confirmed presence of putative luxS gene in local strains of S. marcescens with high potential prodigiosin production needed in the manufacture of pharmacological important products. This is the first report in the Philippines on the presence of luxS gene from local isolates of S. marcescens. <#LINE#> @ @ Grimont P.A. and Grimont F., The genus Serratia, Annu Rev Microbiol.,32, 21–248 (1978) @No $ @ @ Stock I., Thomas G. and Bernd W.,Natural antibiotic susceptibility of strains of Serratia marcescens and the S. liquefaciens complex: S. liquefaciens sensu stricto, S. proteamaculans and S. grimesii,Int J Antimicrob Agents,22, 35 (2003) @No $ @ @ Gerber N.N., Prodigiosin-like pigments, CRC Crit.

Among various TLRs, TLR4 plays the central role in recognition of bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS), a component of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. In this article, we identified TLR4 gene in the Indian major carp (IMC) mrigal (Cirrhinus mrigala), a highly commercially important fish species in the Indian subcontinent. Ontogeny analysis of TLR4 gene by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) assay revealed its constitutive expression in all embryonic developmental stages. The tissue specific expression analysis of TLR4 by qRT-PCR revealed wide distribution of TLR4 in various organs/tissues of mrigal fingerlings. The highest expression of TLR4 was observed in skin and the lowest expression was in muscle. Stimulation of mrigal fingerlings with LPS activated TLR4 signaling resulting in significant (p  0.05) induction of the effector molecule IL-10 in the treated fish group as compared to their control. Moreover, inductive expression of TLR4 and IL-10 genes in all tested tissues of mrigal were also observed following a Gram-negative bacterial (Aeromonas hydrophila) infection. These findings together highlighted the important role of TLR4 in immune surveillance of various organs during pathogenic invasion in fish.  <#LINE#> @ @ Aoki T., Takano T., Santos M.D., Kondo H. and Hirono I., Molecular innate immunity in Teleost fish: Review and future perspectives, th World Fisheries Congress, 263-276 (2008) @No $ @ @ Akira S., Uematsu S. and Takeuchi O., Pathogen recognition and innate immunity, Cell, 124, 783-801 (2006) @No $ @ @ Magnadottir B., Innate immunity of fish (overview), Fish Shellfish Immunol., 20137-151 (2006) @No $ @ @ Medzhitov R. and Janeway Jr. C.A., Innate immunity: the virtues of a nonclonal system of recognition, Cell, 91, 295-298 (1997) @No $ @ @ Franchi L., Eigenbrod T. and Nunez G., Cutting edge: TNF- mediated sensitization to ATP and Silica via the NLRP3 inflammasome in the absence of microbial stimulation, J.

Mango seeds and kernels are the major by product of any mango processing industry. These kernels, as a waste product, cause tremendous investment of capital to decompose it safely and to prevent any environmental pollution. If these waste products can be converted as a raw material for the production of any bioactive compounds, then it will keep the food processing industries free from investing its capital in decomposing these wastes. Instead, it can be used efficiently for any useful products, giving them an extra profit. The mango samples studied in our work were Bagnapalli and Senthura varieties of Mangifera indica. The fruit samples were collected from Vellore district of Tamilnadu. The spread plate technique was used to determine the antibacterial property. The count of viable cells after the application of kernel extracts to the bacterial pathogens was used for the determination of antibacterial property of the kernel extracts. Bagnapalli variety was found to have more antibacterial activity than the Senthura variety of Mangifera indica. At the concentration of 10% of kernel extracts, no viable colony was found in the Petri dish of Bagnapalli kernel extract and hence it proves to be a potent antibacterial agent. <#LINE#> @ @ World Health Organization (WHO), The world health report (Changing history, statistical annex, death by cause, sex and mortality stratum in WHO regions, estimates for 2002), Geneva: WHO; 2004, 120-121 (2002) @No $ @ @ Garode A.M. and Waghode S.M., Bacteriological status of street-vended foods and public health significance: A Case Study of Buldana District, MS, India, ISCA J of Biological Sciences,1(3), 69-71 (2012) @No $ @ @ Masih Usha, Shrimali Ragini and Naqvi S.M.A. Antibacterial Activity of Acetone and Ethanol Extracts of Cinnamon (Cinamomum zeylamicum) and Ajowan (Trachyspermum ammi) on Four Food Spolage Bacteria, International J of Biological Sciences,1(4), 7-11 (2012) @No $ @ @ Sahu S., Das B.K., Pradhan J., Mohapatra B.C., Mishra B.K. and Sarangi N., Effect of Mangifera indica kernel as a feed additive on immunity and resistance to Aeromonas hydrophilain Labeo rohits fingerlings, Fish and Shellfish Immunology, 23, 109-118 (2007) @No $ @ @ Nakade Dhanraj B., Antibiotic sensitivity of common bacterial pathogens against Selected Quinoles, ISCA J of Biological Sci., 1(1), 77-79 (2012) @No $ @ @ Goosens H., Ferech M., Vander Stichele R. and Elseviers M., Outpatient antibiotic use in Europe and association with resistance: a cross-national database study, Lancet, 365, 579-587 (2005) @No $ @ @ Mathew A.G., Cissell R. and Liamthong S., Antibiotic resistance in bacteria associated with food animals: a United States Perspective of livestock production, Foodborne pathogen Dis., , 115-133 (2007) @No $ @ @ Meena M., Enhancement of bioactive compound production, antimicrobial activity and evaluation in animal models, J Med Plant Res; 3(7), 495-497 (2009) @No $ @ @ Cox P.A., The ethnobotanical approach to drug discovery: Strengths and limitations, England: John Willey & Sons, 25-36 (1994) @No $ @ @ Beuchat L.R., Antimicrobial properties of spices and their essential oils.

Physico-chemical parameters viz. air temperature, water temperature, transparency, pH, DO, FCO2, carbonates, bicarbonates, chloride, calcium, magnesium, sulphate, phosphate and nitrate were analysed which showed seasonal fluctuations of these water bodies. Water remained alkaline throughout the study period with pH ranged from 8.1 to 8.9.  Parameters viz. bicarbonates, calcium, magnesium and transparency showed increase during post monsoon (September) to winter (February) where as FCO, chlorides, phosphates, sulphates and nitrates showed decline during this period. However much fluctuation have not been reported in the concentration of phosphates, sulphates and nitrates which showed an increase during rainy season. Both qualitatively and quantitatively analysis were made to investigate the seasonal fluctuations and distribution of zooplanktons. Qualitatively zooplanktons were composed of six species of Protozoan (Centropyxis aculeate, Nebela collaris, Trinema enchelys, Euglena gracilis, Arcella vulgaris and Amoeba sp.), five species of Rotifera (Lepidella ovalis, Colurella adriatica, Branchionus angularis, Monostyla lemaris and Cephalodella intuta), three species each of Ciliata (Paramecium sp ,  Euglypha ciliate and  Vorticella convallaria), Cladocera (Daphnia silmilis, Alona monocantha and Alona costata) and Copepoda (Eucyclops sp,  Mesocyclops sp., and Nauplius larva of Copepod). Quantitatively Protozoa was dominant throughout the study period with Trinema enchelys, Euglena gracilis and Arcella vulgaris constituting the largest share of Protozoan. Copepoda was the second dominant group present throughout the study period followed by Cladocera, Rotifera and last were the group ciliate. Zooplanktons species richness, diversity and evenness were calculated. Values of Margalef’s index (R= 2.89) and Menhinicks index (R=0.92) were found higher at site 6 and site 5 and lowest (2.81 and 0.68) at site 1 respectively. Simpson index (I=0.30) was found higher at site 5 and lowest (0.14) at site 1. Shannon’s-Weiner’s index (H’) values (2.75) was found highest at site 1 and lowest (2.29) at site 5. Maximum species evenness (0.92) was recorded at site 1 while minimum (0.79) at site 5. <#LINE#> @ @ Waters T.F., Secondary production in inland waters, Advance in Ecological Research, (10) 11-167 (1977) @No $ @ @ Gupta M.C. and Sharma L.L., Trophic status and zooplankton of Amarchand reserviour, Udaipur, Rajasthan, C.P. 02: NSL (2007) @No $ @ @ Sharma M.S., Sharma V.

Intensive field work was conducted in 03 Sonowal Kachari inhabited villages viz. Boiragimath Kachari gaon, Duliabam and Paroliguri during 2012. Data collection was done through extensive personal interviews, in-depth discussions and participant observation method. A total of 33 species of medicinal plants belonging to 29 families were recorded. The most dominant plant family is Leguminosae; leaves are found to be the most frequently used plant part for medicine preparation; the most common method of medicine preparation is paste; and shrub is the dominant category of the plants. Utilization of medicinal plants is an important IK tradition of the Sonowal Kacharis and further phyto and pharmaco-chemical investigations of their ethno-medical remedies may lead to the discovery of new drugs to fight human diseases. <#LINE#> @ @ Setzer M.C., Werka J.S., Irvine A.K., Jackes B.R. and Setzer W.N., Biological activity of rainforest plant extracts from far north Queensland, Australia, In: Williams LAD (Ed.)

The level of aflatoxin present was also detected and determined using Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). Two species of Aspergillus were isolated namely Aspergillus parasiticus and Aspergillus niger  Aspergillus parasiticus together with Aspergillus flavus, grow on improperly stored grains and produce aflatoxin known to be one of the most potent carcinogens. Aspergillus niger on the other hand, is a non-aflatoxin producing fungi and is rarely reported to cause pneumonia in humans. Fusarium species are recognized as being pathogenic to man and animals, some species are considered to be common allergen causing Type I allergies, and other species cause storage rot and important mycotoxin producers. Results of the ELISA revealed a low level of aflatoxin ranging from 0.3-1.8 ppb as based on the US FDA standards. Future and further tests and analysis can be done to supplement the results of this study. <#LINE#> @ @ Khaldi N. and Wolfe K.N., Elusive Origin of the ExtrGenes in Aspergillusoryzae,Plos One Open Access (2008) @No $ @ @ Machida M.O.

Effects of protein levels of commercial feed on growth of climbing perch (Anabas testudineus Galam type) obtained from inland peat swamp, i.e. Purun village and Kamipang village on Kamipang District, Central Kalimantan, in peat water ponds were studied. The fishes were treated to four groups, i.e. (A) Purun – Feed I, (B) Purun – Feed II, (C) Kamipang – Feed I and (D) Kamipang – Feed II and cultured in peat water for 60 days.  The result showed that the energy value of feed I containing 40 % protein was 364.5 kcal/100g and feed II containing 25% protein was 328.0 kcal/100g, respectively. The weight gain of climbing perch from Purun treated feed containing 40% protein was significant higher than others, meanwhile, the survival rate of all group cultured in tarp pond that filled peat water was 100%. The water quality of media culture during the experiment was observed normally. Feed with 40% protein level can be recommended for the intensive culture of climbing perch in peat water.  <#LINE#> @ @ Mijkherjee M., Praharaj A., and Das S., Conservation of endangered fish stocks through artificial propagation and larval rearing technique in West Bengal, India, Aqua.

As a therapeutic, streptokinase can be used in the treatment of thromboembolic disorderswhere it dissolves a blood clot by the activation of plasminogen to plasmin. Specimens from infected throat can be an excellent source for the isolation of haemolytic organisms. From the 34 throat swabs collected from patients with acute tonsillitis, 43 bacterial isolates demonstrated -haemolysis. Among thesehaemolytic organisms, 11 isolates were streptococci.Screening the isolates for their potency to producestreptokinase was an important criterion of this paper. Based on the results of radial caseinolysis assay and blood clot dissolving assay, isolate SK-6 demonstrated the highest streptokinase activity. When subjected to morphological and biochemical characterization based on Bergey’s criteria, isolate SK-6 was identified as Streptococcus equisimilis.The thrombolytic potential of this particular isolate indicated that it may also be utilized for the large scale production ofstreptokinase. <#LINE#> @ @ Abdelghani T.T.A., Kunamneni A. and Ellaiah P., Isolation and mutagenesis of streptokinase producing bacteria,Am.
