This paper studied the 2–point improved block backward differentiation formula for solving stiff initial value problems proposed by Musa et al (2013) and further established the necessary conditions for the convergence of the method. It is shown that the method is both zero stable and consistent. The order of the method is also derived.

The purification of the lignin peroxidase from the juice of Musa paradisiaca stem using a simple procedure involving concentration by ultrafitration and anion exchange chromatography on DEAE cellulose column has been reported.The enzymatic properties of the purified enzyme have been found to be similar to the enzymes reported from the fungal sources.

We report here the annotated draft genome sequences of strains Xanthomonas arboricola pv. celebensis NCPPB 1832 and NCPPB 1630 (NCPPB, National Collection of Plant Pathogenic Bacteria), both isolated from Musa species in New Zealand. This will allow the comparison of genomes between phylogenetically distant xanthomonads that have independently converged with the ability to colonize banana plants.
