Title: COMPARATIVE STUDY OF ANTIBACTERIAL POTENTIAL OF IN VIVO AND IN VITRO ROOT EXTRACTS OF MUCUNA GIGANTEA (WILLD.) DC.-AN ENDANGERED MEDICINAL PLANT OF ODISHA

Abstract: The present study compares antibacterial potential of in vivo (natural) and in vitro (tissue
culture regenerated) root extracts of Mucuna gigantea. The antibacterial activity was performed by agarwell
diffusion method against five different human pathogenic bacterial strains, viz. Streptococcus pyogenes
(MTCC 1926), Streptococcus mutans (MTCC 497), Salmonella typhii (MTCC 1252), Sigella flexneri (MTCC
1457) and Vibrio cholera (MTCC 0139). The antibacterial activity of aqueous and methanolic extracts of both
in vivo and in vitro root specimens was determined by measuring the diameter of inhibition zone. Methanolroot
extracts of both in vivo and in vitro M. gigantea showed greater zone of inhibition than aqueous
extracts. Among the five bacterial strains used, root extract (in vivo and in vitro) showed maximum zone of
inhibition against Sigella flexneri. Of the two types of root extracts, in vitro root showed higher zone of
inhibition i.e. 2.3cm than in in vivo root which showed 2.0cm at 500 mg/ml of concentration for S. flexneri.
In vitro root exhibited better antibacterial activity than in vivo- root. As the findings confirmed that both
aqueous and methanol in vitro root extracts are capable of showing higher zone of inhibition than the in
vivo extracts, credence must be given to the use of in vitro root of M. gigantea as continuous and
sustainable resources for pharmaceutical industries so that the endangered medicinal mangrove plant of
Odisha can remain undisturbed.2017-04-01T00:00:00ZETHNOBOTANY OF BAKHAR USED TO PREPARE RICE BEER (HARIA) IN PASCHIM MEDINIPUR, WEST BENGAL, INDIA

Title: ETHNOBOTANY OF BAKHAR USED TO PREPARE RICE BEER (HARIA) IN PASCHIM MEDINIPUR, WEST BENGAL, INDIA
Authors: Sahoo, Tridib Kumar
Abstract: Rice is the one of the major adjunct materials used in brewing beer in the USA, China and
Japan. Some brewers prefer rice, because it has lower oil content than corn grits. In India, mostly in tribal
dominated areas rice is used in beer preparation. In Paschim-Medinipur, there are many tribal groups who
prepare their own local brew using rice grains as the substrate, known as handia or haria. The rice grain
is fermented in to haria. For this fermentation and flavouring a unique starter culture is necessary known
as ‘bakhar’ or ‘Rice Beer Cake’. This is also used as flavoring and stability agent of beer. People belonging
to different tribal groups prepare this bakhar in the form of tablets. To prepare this bakhar tablets tribal
people generally use 18 (eighteen) plant species as ingredients depending on their availability mostly
collected from local forest areas. Among these 18 plant species 14 plant species are usually used by the
ojhas i.e. the tribal medicine men in the folk medicine for different ailments.2017-04-01T00:00:00ZGANGA ACTION PLAN, HETEROGENEOUS PHYTO-ANTIBIOTICS AND PHAGE THERAPY ARE THE BEST HOPE FOR INDIA TACKLING SUPERBUG SPREAD AND CONTROL

Title: GANGA ACTION PLAN, HETEROGENEOUS PHYTO-ANTIBIOTICS AND PHAGE THERAPY ARE THE BEST HOPE FOR INDIA TACKLING SUPERBUG SPREAD AND CONTROL
Authors: Chakraborty, Asit Kumar
Abstract: Life forms change with environmental toxicities. Most bacteria became multiple drug resistant due to use of high doses of antibiotics since 1940s. WHO and G-20 Leaders issued action plan to discover alternate to antibiotics. India needs to monitor spread of MDR bacteria in Ganga River which spans 2550 KM. India has also vast resources of medicinal plants to study as depicted in Sanskrit book like Charaka Samhita. In the earlier communications, we described the identification of many MDR bacteria from Kolkata Ganga River water, Rain water and Sewage water and many common West Bengal plants have
no antibacterial activities but Suregada multiflora and Cassia fistula. Here, we have extended such studies
to show the complex drug sensitivities, molecular identification of mdr genes as well as purification of
active chemicals by TLC and HPLC followed MASS, NMR, and FT-IR technologies. Kolkata Ganga River
water and Bay of Bengal water were polluted with MDR bacteria and mdr genes like beta-lactamases
(blaTEM, blaCTX-M1/2/9, and blaNDM-1), acetyl-, phospho- transferases (aacC1, aacA4, aphA2) as well as
mcr, tet, acr and mex types drug efflux genes are activated giving resistant to advance drug derivatives like
imipenem, colistin, amikacin, linezolid, vancomycin, cefotaxime, ceftriaxone and lomofloxacin. Ganga
Action Plan has been initiated by Indian Government with estimated >40,000 crores with mission 2020,
when all industrial and domestic effluents will be treated before reach river and such effort will reduce
MDR bacterial load in water. Phage therapy is another method of superbug control which is under process
for FDA approval. We have also detected Pseudomonas specific bacteriophages in Kolkata sewage and
Midnapore city pond. However, Ganga River water has less lytic bacteriophages indicating a symbiotic
relation is exist. This implies that phage resistant factor is very important obstacle using bacteriophages
in clinical therapy. Thus, our work has initiated to unfold new methods of superbug therapy following WHO
and Indian Government guidelines.2017-04-01T00:00:00ZANTHROPOMETRIC PROFILES AND ASSESSMENT OF NUTRITIONAL STATUS BASED ON BODY MASS INDEX (BMI) AMONG THE PRAWN SEED COLLECTORS OF SUNDERBAN, WEST BENGAL INDIA
