Bacillus safensis strain VK was isolated from the rhizosphere of a cumin plant growing in the saline desert of Radhanpar, Gujarat, India. Here, we provide the 3.68-Mb draft genome sequence of B. safensis VK, which might provide information about the salt tolerance and genes encoding enzymes for the strain's plant growth-promoting potential.

A number of Indian spices are used as rejuvenators as well as for treating various disease conditions. They may be tonics, antipyretics, aphrodisiacs, expectorants, hepatoprotectives, antirheumatics, diuretics, etc. Cuminum cyminum and Carum carvi are the sources of cumin and caraway seeds respectively, which have been used since antiquity for the treatment of various indications in traditional...

C. cyminum (cumin) and M. communis (myrtle) comprise many biologically active molecules. In this study, cumin seed myrtle leaves were mixed then hydrodistilled analyzed by GC-MS. The main components of the essential oil cuminal (50.71%), 1,8 cineole (8.30%), O-cymene (7.88%), β-pinene (7.62%), α-pinene (7.16%), γ-terpinene (6.09%) α-terpinolene (2.19%). antifungal activity against albicans, par...

Cumin (Cuminum cyminum Linn.) is valued for its aroma and its medicinal and therapeutic properties. A supervised feedforward artificial neural network (ANN) trained with back propagation algorithms, was applied to predict fresh weight and volume of Cuminum cyminum L. calli. Pearson correlation coefficient was used to evaluate input/output dependency of the eleven input parameters. Area, feret d...

the essential oil from the seeds of cuminum cyminum l. was isolated by hydrodistillation method and the chemical composition was determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (gc/ms). the yield of the oil was found to be 3.0% (on dry weight basis). a total of twenty six components, representing 96.7% of the oil were identified. cuminaldehyde (49.4%), p-cymene (17.4%), b-pinene (6.3%), a-ter...
