The present study deals with the evaluation of antibacterial activity of aerial parts of various extracts of Tabernamontana divaricata against marine pathogens. The Phytochemical screening was done in aqueous, pet-ether and methanol extracts of the plant as per the standard procedures. In this study, Antimicrobial assay was carried out against Vibrio parhaemolyticus, a shrimp pathogen and Vibrio alginolyticus a fish pathogen. Disc diffusion method is employed for the screening using Ciproflaxacin 30µg as standard drug. In anti microbial screening, Ethanol extract of T.divaricata (24.4± 0.12 mm and 16.6±0.4mm) showed a promising antibacterial activity against V. parhaemolyticus and V. alginolyticus respectively. The obtained results proved that T.divaricata possess a fruitful antibacterial action against marine pathogens so that it can be utilized in the infection caused by marine pathogens....
Yeast was isolated from the soil of northern region of India Kashmir valley (Jammu and Kashmir India). Yeast strain isolated from soil was truly psychrophilic in nature and was able to grow up to 20OC above which it couldn’t grow normally. The isolate was identified at molecular level and strain was identified as Cystofellobasidium capitatum SPY11. The sequenced yeast strain was submitted to NCBI gene bank. Psychrophilic yeasts are the potential source of cold-active enzymes and do have biotechnological applications....
