Carbon Stocks and Anthropogenic Disturbances in Temperate Coniferous Forests of Jammu Region in Western Himalaya, India (Pg: 1-19)
Author: Sumeet Gairola, Jyotsana Sharma, Dhiraj Vyas

The present study was conducted in moist temperate coniferous forests (1700 to 2800 m asl) of the Bhadarwah region in Jammu division, Union Territory of Jammu & Kashmir (J&K), India, to assess forest biomass, carbon (C) stocks and anthropogenic disturbances prevalent in these forests. Based on the results of the present study, an effort has been made to make practical recommendations for sustainable forest management and C conservation/ sequestration. Eight forest types were selected based on altitude, slope aspect, and dominant tree species. Soil organic carbon (SOC), forest biomass, and C stocks in different forest types were estimated. Significant anthropogenic disturbances in the forest area were identified as grazing by domestic animals, stem cutting, soil erosion, and tree lopping for fuelwood and fodder extraction. Total biomass C density ranged between 15.04 and 260.90 Mgha-1. The values of SOC density ranged from 65.07 to 191.89 Mgha-1. Carbon loss due to anthropogenic activities was estimated to be significantly high at middle altitudes (180.95 Mgha-1 in the mixed coniferous forest). Disturbance indices also suggested that middle altitudinal forests were more disturbed. These coniferous forests were found to be very productive and stored large amounts of C in them. Therefore further degradation of these forests will cause loss of large quantities of C stored in vegetation and soils of these forests.

Chilli is an economically important, high valued spice worldwide. The main objective of this study is to determine the antibacterial effects of aqueous chilli extract and processed chilli sauces by well diffusion Method. In this aspect, a study for antibacterial effects of three locally available chiliesandsixchilli sauces collected from Mangaloreregionhas been carried out against BacillussubtilisandE. coli.The chillies used for this study wereGadhari chilli –red, green and long green chilli. Following the standard procedure the aqueous chilli extracts and chilli sauce were processed against test organism on Muller Hinton Agar and EMB agar for E.coli. The results indicated that aqueous extract of red bird eye chilli was more antibacterial against Bacillus than E.coli.Amongthe chilli sauces, all the six brands showed antibacterial activity against both the organisms than aqueous extract.Redchillisauce ofBrand D was more effective against both Bacillus subtilisandE. coli.It clearly indicates that preservativesin the processed chilli sauce might beantibacterialagainstE.coli,in addition to the active component of chillies.E.coli, is essential to condition the gut and for digestion.Natural aqueous chilli extract is safe for the E.colithereby restoring the gut normal flora on its consumption. Processed chilli sauce can be negative to the gut flora due to its inhibitory action probably also due to its preservatives.

Green synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles (AgNP’s) from PassiflorafoetidaLinn.and assessment of its antibacterial activity (Pg: 34-51)
Author: Prarthana J, Likhith K, ShashankPatil

In recent years, there has been an expandable interest in the development of novel drug delivery systems using nanoparticles. Among metallic nanoparticles, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are crucial due to their physiochemical and antimicrobial properties which help in several therapies. In the present study aqueous and ethanol extracts from leaf and fruit of Passiflorafoetida Linn. or commonly known as stinking passion flower plant were used for the synthesis of silver nanoparticle.

Calotropin from milk of Calotropis gigantean a potent inhibitor of COVID 19 corona virus infection by Molecular docking studies (Pg: 52-57)
Author: Arun Dev Sharma, Inderjeet Kaur

SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19), a positive single stranded RNA virus, member of corona virus family, is spreading its tentacles across the world due to lack of drugs at present. Being associated with cough, fever, and respiratory distress,this disease caused more than 15 % mortality worldwide. Due to its vital role in virus replication, Mpro/3CLpro has recently been regarded as a suitable target for drug design. The current study focused on the inhibitory activity of Calotropin, a component from milk of Calotropis gigantean, against Mpro protein from SARS-CoV-2. Till date there is no work is undertaken on in-silico analysis of this compound against Mproof COVID-19 protein.In the present study, molecular docking studies were conducted by using Patchdock tool. Protein Interactions tool was used for protein interactions.The calculated parameters such as docking score indicated effective binding of Calotropin to Mpro protein. Interactions results indicated that, Mpro/Calotropin complexes forms hydrophobic interactions. Therefore, Calotropin may represent potential herbal treatment to act as COVID-19 Mpro inhibitor. However, further research is necessary to investigate their potential medicinal use.

Comparative assessment of antimicrobial efficacy of hand sanitizers as antiseptic solutions: an in vitro study (Pg: 58-66)
Author: Amrutha Y, ShruthiK, Aravindanarayana V, Prarthana J

Hand hygiene, particularly hand sanitizing, is essential in reducing infectious disease transmission.With respect to the realization that hand hygiene is a prerequisite for the prevention of diseases, the conventional method of washing hand with soap has became quite non popular. Instead it is the use of hand sanitizer, which has gradually become the method of choice due to its various advantages. In the present study, the invitro bacterial activity of two well known brands of hand sanitizers available in laboratory was conducted by agar susceptibility test, minimum inhibitory concentration test and in-vivo reduction of viable bacteria counts on hands of subject’smethod. Reference bacterial strains like Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Bacillus subtilis were treated with different concentrations of each sanitizers showed good result. Antibacterial activity of these sanitizers different from each other. Increased concentrations (25μl, 50 μl, 75 μl & 100μl) of avagard showed good results, where as lesser concentrations (0.5μl, 1μl 5μl, 10μl, 15μl, 20μl) haven’t showed the antibacterial activity. In the case of dettol all the concentration (from lower to higher) showed good results, The dettolis much stronger than avagard in the antibacterial activity having well established inhibition zones against both gram positive and gram negative bacteria.

Survival strategies in plant parasitic nematodes (Pg: 67-75)
Author: Babita Kumari, Sujata, Vinod Kumar

‘Survival strategies’ are usually taken to mean the responses of organisms to the particular biological and physical challenges that may result in their death.Nematodes face a number of such challenges i.e. biological challenges and physical challenges. Biological challenges include: running out of food, predation, pathogens and competition. Parasitic species face the additional problems of the immune, and other, responses of their hosts and the problems of infecting new hosts. Physical challenges include: temperature extremes, desiccation, high pressure, acid or alkaline conditions, osmotic and ionic stress, anoxia and exposure to various types of radiation.The responses of nematodes to a physical challenge, however, also involve morphological, physiological, biochemical and molecular mechanisms.There may also be an interaction between the physical and biological challenges faced by nematodes.

Author: Himanshu Sushil kumar Jaiswal, Dinesh Dayaramji Khedkar

Biological synthesis, characterization, and application of the nanoparticles are an important and emerging area of current research. Applications of these nanoparticles in the plant growth is another virgin field to explore. The present investigation attempts to examine the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles from rare medicinal and endemic plant Radermacheraxylocarpa(Roxb.) K. Schum. Leaf extract was used as a reducing agent for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles. The synthesized nanoparticles were confirmed by UV-Visible spectroscopy and characterized by FTIR, XRD, and TEM analysis. The effects of these nanoparticles were tested in seed germination, seedling growth, and chlorophyll studies. It showed inhibition in root and shoot growth in the case of Vignaradiata and Brassica juncea. The seedgermination in Brassica juncea was potentially affected by silver nanoparticles as compared to Vignaradiata. Reduction in chlorophyll-a, chlorophyll-b and total chlorophyll was observed in the germinated seedlings after exposure to the silver nanoparticle.
