Abstract:
Heterotrophic plate count (HPC) or standard plate count is a standardized method for determining the density of aerobic and facultative anaerobic heterotrophic microorganisms in water. In this study, water samples were analyzed to ascertain the effects of temperature, media, and incubation time in HPC methods of bacterial estimation. The samples were analyzed using the membrane filtration and direct plating methods. No faecal coliform was detected in all the samples and at all temperature. However, some coliforms and heterotrophic bacteria were present in the water samples. The organisms were

ABSTRACT The production of the vegetative mosquitocidal toxin Mtx1 from Bacillus sphaericus was redirected to the sporulation phase by replacement of its weak, native promoter with the strong sporulation promoter of the bin genes.

Inhibition studies indicated the action of a serine proteinase, and similar degradation was also seen with the purified B. sphaericus enzyme sphericase.

Abstract Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been synthesized in the presence of Strawberry fruit extract (SBFE) at room temperature. The synthesized AgNPs was characterized by UV-vis spectroscopy, SEM, EDS, XRD, TEM and FTIR. The UV-vis spectra of the AgNPs show SPR band at 450 nm. TEM results indicate that AgNPs are spherical in shape and size range between 7–65 nm. Antibacterial activity of the synthesized AgNPs has been assessed against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Bacillus licheniformis. The results show that AgNPs exhibit inhibitory effect and effect is a function of AgNPs concentration. The
