In this study, Aspergillus sp. was isolated for the production of extracellular polysaccharide. The process parameters were initially optimized by traditional methods. The cheap substrate, wheat bran was used for the production of extracellular polysaccharide in solid state fermentation. Supplementation of (1%, w/w) maltose, gelatin enhanced EPS production (5.36?mg/g). The salts such as, Cu2+ (4.9?mg/g), Ca2+ (3.5?mg/g), Zn2+ (2.9?mg/g), Mn2+ (3.4?mg/g) and Mg2+ (1.8?mg/g) stimulated EPS production. In two level full factorial experimental designs, the EPS yield varied from 3.18 to 11.65?mg/g wheat bran substrate with various combinations of the components supplemented with wheat bran substrate. Among these selected factors in central composite design, maltose significantly influenced on extracellular polysaccharide production. 相似文献

Effect of Salinity on Photosynthesis and Biochemical Characteristics in Mulberry Genotypes 总被引:16,自引:0,他引:16
Mulberry genotypes were subjected to salinity (0–12 mS cm–1) in pot culture experiment. Chlorophyll and total carotenoid contents were reduced considerably by salinity. At low salinity, photosynthetic CO2 uptake increased over the control, but it decreased at higher salinity. Contents of soluble proteins, free amino acids, soluble sugars, sucrose, starch, and phenols increased at salinity of 1–2 mS cm–1 and decreased at higher salinity (8–12 mS cm–1). Glycine betaine accumulated more than proline, the maximum accumulation of both was at salinity of 2–4 mS cm–1. Among the genotypes studied, BC2-59 followed by S-30 showed better salinity tolerance than M-5. 相似文献

Soil is an integral part of ecosystem which is niche for varieties of microflora. The present study was investigated to isolate varied strains of bacteria from soil samples of three different geographical regions of Tamil Nadu (India) and evaluate their hydrolytic enzymes (amylase, cellulase, and inulinase) producing potentialities. Among 72 bacterial cultures isolated from Ambattur Industrial Estate, Neyveli Lignite Corporation, and Arignar Anna Zoological Park regions, 41.66, 38.88, and 36.11% of isolates were observed amylase, cellulase, and inulinase producers, respectively. On the other hand, 20.83% of total bacteria isolated from all three regions exhibited concurrent production of amylase, cellulase, and inulinase. Potent isolates depicting maximum enzyme activities were identified as Bacillus anthracis strain ALA1, Bacillus cereus strain ALA3, Glutamicibacter arilaitensis strain ALA4, and Bacillus thuringiensis strain ALA5 based on molecular characterization tools. Further, the thermodynamics parameters, open reading frames (ORFs) regions, and guanine-cytosine (GC) content were determined by distinct bioinformatics tools using 16S rRNA sequences of strains. Minimum free energy values for strain ALA1, strain ALA3, strain ALA4, and strain ALA5 were calculated as −480.73, −478.76, −496.63, and −479.03 kcal/mol, respectively. Mountain plot and entropy predicted the hierarchical representation of RNA secondary structure. The GC content of sequence for strain ALA1, strain ALA3, strain ALA4, and strain ALA5 was calculated as 53.06, 52.94, 56.78, and 53.06%, respectively. Nine ORFs were obtained for strain ALA1, strain ALA3, and strain ALA5 while 10 ORFs were observed for strain ALA4. Additionally, bootstrap tree demonstrated close resemblance of strains with existing bacteria of similar genus. Findings showed higher variability of bacterial diversity as hydrolytic enzymes producers in the investigated geographical regions. 相似文献

Ononitol monohydrate, structurally similar to glycoside was isolated from Cassia tora L. leaves. Fifty Male rats were divided into five groups. Group I served as normal control. Group II, III and IV rats were induced hepatotoxicity by CCl4 administering single dose of CCl4 on 8th day only. Group III was treated with ononitol monohydrate (20 mg/kg body weight) and group IV was treated with reference drug silymarin (20 mg/kg body weight) both dissolved in corn oil and administering for 8 days. Ononitol monohydrate with corn oil alone was given for 8 days (group V). At the end of the experimental period all the animals were sacrificed and analyzed for biochemical parameters to assess the effect of ononitol monohydrate treatment in CCl4 induced hepatotoxicity. In in vivo study, ononitol monohydrate decreased the levels of serum transaminase, lipid peroxidation and TNF-α but increased the levels of antioxidant and hepatic glutathione enzyme activities. Compared with reference drug silymarin ononitol monohydrate possessesed high hepatoprotective activity. Histopathological results also suggested the hepatoprotective activity of ononitol monohydrate with no adverse effect. Hence we conclude that ononitol monohydrate is a potent hepatoprotective agent. 相似文献

This study describes in vitro shoot induction and plant regeneration from a mature apical meristem and nodal explants of the endangered medicinal shrub
Vitex agnus-castus. Multiple shoots were induced directly from the axis of nodal and apical meristem explants on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium
containing 3% sucrose and different concentrations (1.0, 1.5, 2.0, and 2.5 mg/l) of 6-benzyl aminopurine (BAP) in combination
with Kinetin (Kin) and α-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA), both at 0.1 mg/l. BAP and Kinetin were used as supplements to MS basal
medium, either individually or in combination with auxins. The optimal concentration of BAP for inducing bud break was found
to be 2.0 mg/l when Kinetin was at 0.1 mg/l. Regeneration frequency was highest for both apical meristem and nodal explants
(94.5% and 90.3%, respectively) when explants were cultured on MS medium supplemented with BAP (2.0 mg/l) and Kin (0.1 mg/l).
A maximum of 7.7 ± 0.4 and 6.7 ± 0.2 shoots were obtained per explant for apical meristem and nodal explants, respectively.
Regenerated shoots, transferred to MS medium supplemented with either 1.0 or 1.5 mg/l BAP combined with 0.1 mg/l GA3, showed maximum elongation of 6.7 ± 0.4 and 6.0 ± 1.3 cm in apical meristem and nodal explants, respectively. In vitro regenerated shoots transferred to half-strength MS medium supplemented with 0.1 mg/l IBA induced 90.4% of the shoots to form
roots after 30–35 d of culture. Up to 80% of the regenerated shoots were successfully established in soil in the greenhouse. 相似文献

An improved method of direct somatic embryogenesis (SE) was developed in Swertia chirata for the first time using leaves and roots of in vitro-grown young seedlings. In the present study, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic
acid (2,4-D) was assessed individually and in combination with other auxins, as well as with cytokinin for its effectiveness
to induce somatic embryos. Leaf explants with abaxial side in the medium produced maximum number of somatic embryos. This
system omits the callus stage and thus reduces the process of SE in S. chirata by 35–45 days. Embryos at different stages of development were observed. Maturation of heart stage embryos were observed
on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium containing 1 mg L−1 2,4-D. Upon transfer to the germination medium, they were converted to cotyledonary stage and then plantlets of 33% and 68%
of them were converted to cotyledonary stage and then plantlets on MS medium supplemented with 0.05 and 0.1 mg L-1 GA3 respectively. The 2,4-D alone at 1.0 or 1.5 mg L−1 was found to be better for embryogenic tissue initiation than 2,4-D in combination with indole-3-acetic acid or α-naphthalene
acetic acid. For further embryo development, 2,4-D was combined with cytokinins such as 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) and kinetin
or plant growth regulator free medium or medium with 50% reduced concentration of the same hormone while subculturing. Mean
germination and percentage of survival were maximum in the medium containing 1.0 mg L−1 2,4-D in combination with 0.1 mg L−1 BAP. Regenerated plantlets were morphologically and genetically identical. This method offers a vast scope for the clonal
propagation of endangered plants. 相似文献

Endophytic actinomycetes isolated from Datura stramonium L. was evaluated for its effects against in vitro α-glucosidase inhibition, antioxidant, and free radical scavenging activities. Based on microbial cultural characteristic and 16S rRNA sequencing, it was identified as Streptomyces sp. loyola UGC. The methanolic extract of endophytic actinomycetes (MeEA) shows remarkable inhibition of α-glucosidase (IC50 730.21 ± 1.33 μg/ml), scavenging activity on 2,2-diphenyl-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) (IC50 435.31 ± 1.79 μg/ml), hydroxyl radical (IC50 350.21 ± 1.02 μg/ml), nitric oxide scavenging (IC50 800.12 ± 1.05 μg/ml), superoxide anion radical (IC50 220.31 ± 1.47 μg/ml), as well as a high and dose-dependent reducing power. The MeEA also showed a strong suppressive effect on rat liver lipid peroxidation. Antioxidants of β-carotene linoleate model system revels significantly lower than BHA. The total phenolic content of the extract was 176 mg of catechol equivalents/gram extract. Perusal of this study indicates MeEA can be used as natural resource of α-glucosidase inhibitor and antioxidants. 相似文献

Reduction of the β-cell mass is critical in the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus. The discovery of agents which induce regeneration of pancreatic β-cells would be useful to develop new therapeutic approaches to treat diabetes. The present study was aimed at identifying a new agent for the control of diabetes through regeneration of pancreatic β cells and insulin secretory potential. Nymphaea stellata flower chloroform extract (NSFCExt) showed significant plasma glucose lowering effect. Further NSFCExt was utilized to isolate and identify the lead compound based on bioassay guided fractionation; we found Nymphayol (25,26-dinorcholest-5-en-3β-ol) a new crystal [space group P21 (No. 4), a = 9.618(5), b = 7.518(5), c = 37.491(5)]. It was purified by repeat column. The structure was determined on the basis of X-ray crystallography and spectral data. Oral administration of Nymphayol for 45 days significantly (p < 0.05) lowered the blood glucose level and more importantly it effectively increased the insulin content in diabetic rats. In addition, Nymphayol increased the number of β cell mass enormously. Islet-like cell clusters in the islets of Langerhans were clearly observed based on histochemical and immunohistochemical study. 相似文献

An efficient protocol has been developed for the in vitro propagation of Pterocarpus santalinus L. using shoot tip explants which is a valuable woody medicinal plant. Various parts of this plant are pharmaceutically used
for the treatment of different diseases. Multiple shoots were induced from shoot tip explants derived from 20 days old in
vivo germinated seedlings on 1:1 ratio of sand and soil after treating with gibberellic acid (GA3). The highest frequency for shoot regeneration (83.3%) with maximum number of shoot buds (11) per explant was obtained on
Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 1.0 mg/l of 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) along with 0.1 mg/l of thidiazuron
(TDZ) after 45 days of culture. A proliferating shoot culture was established by repeatedly subculturing the original shoot
tip explants on fresh medium after each harvest of the newly formed shoots. Sixty percent of the shoots produced roots were
transferred to rooting medium containing MS salts and 0.1 mg/l indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) after 30 days. About 73.33% of
the in vitro raised plantlets were established successfully in earthen pots. Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD)-based
DNA fingerprinting profiles were generated for the first time using shoot tip explants of this species and confirmed that
there was no genetic variability. This protocol might be helpful for the mass multiplication of P. santalinus in the future. 相似文献
