However, these species are declining worldwide due to hunting at roosts and extensive tree cutting for urbanization. Thus, there is a need to preserve the roosting and foraging landscape of these species since bats spend over half of their life in their roost environment. This study aimed to identify and characterize the roosting sites of Acerodon jubatus and Pteropus vampyrus in Mambukal Resort, Negros Occidental. Results showed that there are thirteen (13) roosting tree species preferred by Pteropus vampyrus namely; Pterocarpus indicus, Pterocymbium tinctorium, Zizyphus trinervis, Madhuca betis, Shorea negrosensis, Pometia pinnata, Palaquium luzoniense, Pterospermum obliquum, Swietenia macrophylla, Canarium asperum, Toona calantas, Koordersiodendron pinnatum and Petersianthus quadrialatus. Out of the thirteen species, Koordersiodendron pinnatum was the most preferred roosting site with 175 individuals out of 882. The roosting tree of Acerodon jubatus was Pterospermum obliquum. The preferred roosting trees of Acerodon jubatus and Pteropus vampyrus had an average elevation of 345.4545±18.4203m, mean height was 35.2175±8.444634m, average diameter at breast height (DBH) was 43.75927±11.35574cm, average basal area was 0.1985±0.151448m2 and the average canopy cover was 79% ± 57%. The measured Diameter at Breast Height of the roost trees in this study may indicate that majority of roosts trees had been occupied by Pteropus vampyrus and Acerodon jubatus for more than 10 years. This may support that flying foxes tend to have high roost fidelity. Thus, forest conservation strategies should be strengthened especially on these preferred roost tree species of Pteropus and Acerodon.<#LINE#>Kaaso M. and Balakrishnan M.

Screening of potential strain from new source and there by optimizing production condition for industrial cellulase. Cellulase is one of the several profit making enzymes which have been serviced in different industries like paper and pulp, textile, production of bio-fuel, detergents, feed and food industry and brewing Bacterial cellulose possess more advantages when compared to the cellulose from other sources. In present study 14 Cellulase generating bacteria were deserted from wood degrading area, soil under dead leaves, dung of cow, and forest area. Purification and screening for cellulase production of isolates were done. Results indicate that bacteria SPCP1910 showed best result.

The healthy fresh young leaves were collected from four different regions of Tamil Nadu. The DNA was isolated with standard protocol and the ISSR analysis was studied with five primers. The primers produced distinct bands in each population. The polymorphic loci number was 12 and percentage was 36 respectively. In between the population the genetic distance ranged from 0.3610 to 0.0625 and 0.9394 to 0.6970 respectively. 1.3636 was the mean value of overall observed number of alleles and 1.2788 was the effective number of alleles. The overall value for the genetic diversity was 0.1553 and value for Shannon information index was 0.2243. The UPGMA dendrogram represents the phylogenetic relationship between different accessions of Justicia adhatoda. The present study helps to find out the accession which has more genetic variability for the conservation in near future.<#LINE#>Shah M. and Shinwari Z.K.

Flamingos are tallest water wading birds, have pink plumage with a long neck and legs compare to their body size. They are colonial birds. From October 2018 to August 2019 simultaneously a monthly census was conducted at 7 different locations. The purpose of our study is to define the distribution status of Greater Flamingo in Haryana. Point count method was adopted for determine their population size. We used the Garmin etrexGPS to map the location of their flocks throughout study period. A total of 1374±343 Greater Flamingo was recorded. Najafgarh Jheel Bird sanctuary is the site where Greater Flamingo were found to be concentrated in highest number. Occurrence of Greater Flamingo in Najafgarh Jheel Bird sanctuary and Ottu lakes throughout the year shows that these sites are ideal areas which are preferred by Greater Flamingo thus protecting their habitat is important for their existence.<#LINE#>Sprunt IV A.

The emergence of drug-resistant has attracted more studies on the edible mushroom as an alternative source of antibiotics to overcome drug resistance challenges. Apart from their pharmacological significance, edible mushrooms have good taste and are nutritious with high protein and fibre contents. They contain all essential amino and fatty acids vital to humans. They are cholesterol-free, low in calories, and fat. Besides their nutritional potential, research describes them as therapeutic foods, with the ability to inhibit ailments such as high cholesterol, elevated blood pressure, and cancer. Mushroom extracts contain bioactive constituents such as phenolic compounds, terpenoids, alkaloids, lactones, sterols, glycoproteins and polysaccharides. Their biological effectiveness has been traditionally exploited to boost immunity, improve the health of long ill people, prescribed as a tonic for gastro-intestinal ailments, relieving stomach pains, constipation, stomach ulcers and used as skin ointment to treat skin diseases. Furthermore, they have been used to enhance the quick recovery of childbirth mothers and improve milk production to breastfeeding mothers. The present review is aimto appraise traditional uses, nutritional significance and the nutraceutical value of edible mushrooms of Tanzania for the improvement of human health and livelihood.<#LINE#>Chang S.T. and Miles P.G.

The aim of this paper was reviewing the growing knowledge on the status, constraints associated toresource development and conservation and the collection techniques of gum and resins in woodland forests and their importance to support the livelihood and national income in Ethiopia. Gum and resins are important resources for securing a rural livelihood and marketed for earning cash income in the international market and create considerable job opportunities for communities. However, the population of gum and resin bearing trees are under high pressure due to continuous tapping, fire, intensive tapping, overgrazing, shifting cultivation and inappropriate land use system. But, they can be propagated by vegetative or by seed. Gum and resins are collected by tapping and natural oozing. Tapping enhances yield and quality of gum and resins. Inaccessibility of the area where the gum producing species grow, deforestation, overgrazing, improper tapping, resettlement, harvesting for fuel wood and land use change are constraints for conservation and development of the habitat of gum and resin species.<#LINE#>Chidumayo E.N. and Gumbo D.J.

Millions of people across the globe unknowingly depends on arsenic contaminated groundwater for drinking purpose and facing serious health hazards. The groundwater is known to be contaminated from different xenobiotic and anthropogenic sources leading to fatal diseases as cancer and skin lesions. Arsenic in the form of arsenate (IV) and arsenite (As III) is toxic in water sources. Presence of microbial biome such as E. coli, Pseudomonas, and Actinobacter helps to reduce the arsenic in ground water. This paper aims to seek a review on global arsenic contamination and presence of arsenic resistance bacteria in groundwater.<#LINE#>Chakrabarti D., Singh S.K., Rashid Md.H. and Rahman M.M.
