There are many on-going research efforts to find new antibiotics that can overcome bacterial resistance. Our research has uncovered a novel method for discovering new anti-biotics and streamlining current prospecting methods. We discovered that beans sourced from various geographic locations contain residual fungus that can be cultivated and screened for anti-biotic properties. In the present report we sourced beans from global locations and cultivated fungal pellets from beans by confining them in a new form of Non-Thermal Plasma (NTP); Hybrid-Plasma (HP). Methods: The agar plate method was used to evaluate fungal growth for antibacterial properties. The fungus from each of the fungal pellets was collected and sub-cultured in a glass tube with liquid growth media. Bacterial lawns of Staphlococcus. aureus and Eschericia coli grown on tryptic soy agar media plates were prepared and the fungal growth enrichment added to the plate to test for areas of growth inhibition. Results: Testing confirmed measurable zones of inhibition in the agar plates that contained Staphcoccus aureus for 3 of the 4 beans tested. There was no effect on the plates with Eschericia coli. Conclusion: These new methods for producing fungi from various geographic locations is more efficient for discovering and developing of new antibiotics.","PeriodicalId":140386,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Sciences and Ecology: Current Research (ESECR","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126932094","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The GA calculation reveals the interactions between landscape components through GIS, namely soil, slope, vegetation and land cover. Weights were assigned (1, 2 or 3) to the different cartographic layers of the geoecological components measured using the algebra map tool, through the arithmetic means, to classify the semiarid basins into different adequability levels, as follows: adequate, partially adequate and inadequate to anthropic uses. These procedures verified the predominance of the “adequate” class with a territorial area above 42% in both investigated basins; the “partially adequate” level and the second most comprehensive class comprised values between 30% and 40%; and, while smaller territorial extensions, below 20%, were “inadequate”. Based on these findings, it was possible to measure the most suitable areas for anthropic use in the studied basins and indicate the areas that should be conserved, with emphasis on protection and/or regeneration of the natural vegetation cover. This is important information concerning the planning and environmental management of these semi-arid landscapes in an objective and efficient way","PeriodicalId":140386,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Sciences and Ecology: Current Research (ESECR","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128102585","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
