An endophytic bacterium was isolated from Acorus calamus rhizomes, which is an important medicinal plant. The rhizome is an important medicinal nutrient source of microorganisms, in the rhizosphere. The isolate was evaluated for various biochemical tests. Further the isolate PPAU01 was subjected to 16S rRNA sequencing. The isolate was identified as Enterobacter cloacae sub sp dissolvens which w...

A rapid and efficient in vitro propagation protocol of Acorus calamus L. an important endangered medicinal plant has been developed. Naturally grown rhizome segments were used as explants for initial culture. Surface sterilized rhizome segments were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with various concentrations (0.5 mg l 3.0 mg l ) of cytokinins (BAP, Kn) and auxins (IAA, ...

The problem of house fly has become more acute everywhere especially in poultry and piggery farms. They act as potential vector for many viral, bacterial, helminthic and protozoan diseases and as nuisance pests. The control of fly is very much effected by the use of synthetic organic insecticides. These drugs, even though efficacious, can be detrimental to the mankind and environment and also l...
