With respect to Chhattisgarh, rice is the principal crop of the state. India Covers 66% of cultivable land and mostly grown under kharif cropping season. To increase sustained productivity without decreasing soil quality, algal bio fertilizers are used widely now days in the state. Use of local isolates as algal inoculants is being stressed due to their competitiveness in the field for establishment of better ecological adaptability for developing composite starter. Culture of algal bio fertilizer programme on a regional basis, survey, isolation and screening of stress-tolerant cyanobacteria have been started at various parts of India. The soils of Chhattisgarh state comprise mostly of iron- rich red soil, laterite soil, and red and yellow soil and brown forest soil. So the above study comprises the characterization of physical and chemical properties collected from 4 districts of Chhattisgarh...

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is an irreversible, progressive brain disease that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills, reasoning, planning, language, and perception, and eventually even the ability to carry out the simplest tasks. Many scientists believe that Alzheimer’s disease results from an increase in the production or accumulation of a specific protein (beta-amyloid protein) in the brain that leads to nerve cell death.The brains of people with AD have an abundance of two abnormal structures amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles that are made of misfolded proteins. This is especially true in certain regions of the brain that are important in memory. In people with Alzheimer’s disease, deposits called amyloid plaques build up in the brain. These are composed, in part, of a protein called beta-amyloid, which is a fragment of the amyloid precursor protein (APP).A mutation in the gene that makes APP is believed to be responsible for 5 to 20 percent of all early onset familial Alzheimer’s disease. People with a mutation in the APP gene tend to develop...

Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is a rhizomatous herbaceous perennial plantused as a food additive. It has been reported that rhizome of this plant have antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antitumor property. Methanol extract of Rhizome of Curcuma longa was investigated here to see the antimicrobial actions and anti-inflammatory effect. During the extraction process a purified single compound (D1) was isolated and investigated for its antimicrobial activity. Significant antimicrobial activity than penicillin were found for 500µg C. longa extract. Anti-inflammatory action of C. longa was also assessed using mice models. The purified compound D1 fraction showed antimicrobial action in 50µg concentration. Our study reveal that C. longa has antimicrobial activity against various gram positive and gram negative bacteria where curcumin may not be the only compound that is responsible for the antimicrobial activity. On the other hand, C. longa extract had shown significant anti-inflammatory...

The reagent was synthesized and characterization was carried out by FTIR, NMR, elemental analysis as well as Mass spectrometry. This reagent was then applied for the development of the analytical method for the extractive spectrophotometric determination of Cobalt (II). Cobalt metal forms yellow coloured complex, which can be extracted in chloroform at pH 9.0 having absorption maxima at 430 nm. Beer’s law is obeyed in the concentration range 1-10 μg. The molar absorptivity and Sandell’s Sensitivity of the extracted species are found to be 5.8470 X 103 Lit mol-1 cm-1 and 10.088 X 10-3 µg / cm2 respectively. The developed method is highly sensitive, selective, simple, rapid, accurate, and has been satisfactorily applied for the determination of cobalt in the synthetic mixtures, pharmaceutical samples, and...
