The 3-volume set, Phytochemistry, covers a wide selection of topics
in phytochemistry and provides a wealth of information on the
fundamentals, new applications, methods and modern analytical
techniques, state-of-the-art approaches, and computational
techniques. With chapters from professional specialists in their
fields from around the world, the volumes deliver a comprehensive
coverage of phytochemistry. Phytochemistry is a multidisciplinary
field, so this book will appeal to students in both upper-level
students, faculty, researchers, and industry professionals in a
number of fields, including biological science, biochemistry,
pharmacy, food and medicinal chemistry, systematic botany and
taxonomy, ethnobotany, conservation biology, plant genetic and
metabolomics, evolutionary sciences, and plant pathology.
This volume presents chapters that discuss secondary metabolites of
marine origin, the industrial applications of phytochemicals, and
recent advances in phytochemical research. It considers production
of secondary metabolites and accumulations through in vitro
cultures and also reviews the effects of natural products as
biopesticides and as eco-friendly corrosion inhibitors. In
addition, the volume discusses the effects of the environment on
the distribution of phytochemicals and the roles of phytochelatins
and heavy metal tolerance in plants.
In recent years, the use of inorganic antimicrobial agents has
attracted interest because of their industrial and medical
applications. The important advantages of antimicrobial inorganic
agents are improved safety and stability. Titanium complexes are
known to show variety of applications. These include role of
titanium coatings in infection control in the healthcare sector,
the food industry and in aviation. In order to get them accepted,
it will be necessary to show activity against relevant pathogens
and under conditions found in those industries.SBA 16 material has
excellent potential for application in environmental area due to
the control both the size and the shape of the pores in the
structure of this material, although it has been little exploited.
This study concluded that Ti SBA-16-type mesoporous material has
maximum antibacterial activity against E. coli, then against S.
aureus and then B. subtilis.
Algae are potential feedstocks that can be used for the production
of biofuels and thus providing solution for the challenges of
energy crisis and environmental greenhouse gasses. Several
companies and government agencies are funding efforts to reduce
capital and operating costs and make algae fuel production
commercially viable.Harvested algae, like fossil fuel, releases CO2
when burnt but unlike fossil fuel the CO2 is taken out of the
atmosphere by the growing of algae and other biofuel sources, and
the world food crisis, have ignited interest in algaculture
(farming algae) for making vegetable oil, biodiesel, bioethanol,
biogasoline, biomethanol, biobutanol and other biofuels, using land
that is not suitable for agriculture.The present study was aimed to
collect algal samples from various localities in Lahore,
identification, optimization of culture conditions and comparison
of oil production of different algal species.
To observe adverse health effects of heavy metals, drinking water
samples (50) were randomly collected from Raja bolay village (RBV),
Ghanakar village (GV), Deu khurd (DK), Kahna nau (KN), and Green
cap housing society (GCHS). The results of physical parameters
showed that mean pH and conductivity value of water samples of all
the areas was greater than the standard value of WHO except in the
samples taken from Deu khurd (DK). Mean value of TDS was greater
than WHO in almost all the samples. Among heavy metals
concentration of Cr was greater than standard value provided by WHO
except in RBV (Raja bolay village) and GCHS (Green cap housing
society). Cu concentration was lower than WHO standard value of Cu
in drinking water. Mean concentration of Ni was very high in all
drinking water samples. The population residing in Kahna nau had a
high frequency of acute respiratory and kidney diseases, whereas
skin diseases were common in the residents of Green cap housing
society.
Present study aimed at the detection of microbial contamination
present in commercially available and freshly prepared orange juice
samples collected from different localities of Lahore, Pakistan.
Results showed the presence of Enterococcus spp., Streptococcus
spp., Micrococcus spp., Staphylococcus spp. and Bacillus spp. in
commercially available orange juices which clearly demonstrates the
unhygienic conditions of processing plants. In most localities, the
freshly squeezed orange juices were hygienically very poor as
bacterial loads on the whole were abnormally high. Based on the
presence of Enterococcus spp., Streptococcus spp., Micrococcus
spp., Staphylococcus spp., Bacillus spp., Erwinia spp., Salmonella
spp., Klebsiella spp., Coliforms, Pseudomonas spp., Vibrio spp. and
Leuconostoc spp. in fresh orange juices, it is concluded that
juices in certain areas inside the city are highly impacted and
unfit for human consumption. It is agreed that such type of
contamination is the result of bad quality water used for dilution
of juices, unhygienic surroundings and location of stalls by the
side of a busy road with vehicular traffic or by the side of waste
disposal and overcrowding.
Plants are reservoir of effective chemotherapeutics and can provide
valuable sources of natural antimicrobials. Bacteriocins are
natural antimicrobial peptides with interesting potential
applications in human health and exhibit a bactericidal mode of
action against related as well as unrelated microorganisms. In
present study Bougainvillea spectabilis and bacteriocins
susceptibility against Salmonella typhi was evaluated.
Bougainvillea spectabilis stem, leaves and flowers were extracted
in organic solvents through soxhlet and rotary evaporator. For the
bacteriocins screening, Lactococcus lactis was isolated from milk
samples. Disc diffusion method was used to determine the
antimicrobial activity. The results revealed that both the
Bougainvillea spectabilis and bacteriocins had antimicrobial
activity against S. typhi. The ethanolic and methanolic extracts of
flowers and leaves of Bougainvillea spectabilis were more active
against S. typhi. B. spectabilis and bacteriocins inhibition
activity proved them as the alternative antimicrobial agents
against human pathogens.
