The current study deals with the analysis of physico-chemical composition of the nest soil and isolation of bacteria that have potential biochemical and therapeutic importance. Four nest samples of black and yellow mud dauber wasp were collected. The physico-chemical analysis yields the following results-pH 6.64, electrical conductivity 0.05 dS/m and organic carbon 0.59%. Among the macronutrients and micronutrients, higher content of potassium (430.08 kg/ha) and manganese (1251.67 ppm) were found respectively. Bacterial populations were isolated by serial dilution. Out of seven colonies, three well-defined colonies (IK1, IK2, and IK3) were sub-cultured and characterized. Biochemical analysis showed IK1 were positive for catalase, citrate and starch hydrolysis test, IK2 were positive for catalase and motility test while IK3 showed positive result for macconkey agar, catalase and motility test. The antibiotic sensitivity test showed that IK1 were sensitive to tetracycline and kanamycin while IK2 and IK3 were sensitive to kanamycin. In order to identify the antimicrobial factor present in these bacterial isolates further studies are needed.","PeriodicalId":16749,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pharmacognosy and Phytochemistry","volume":"39 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140522661","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 Syzygium cumini Linn plant has a many medicinal properties. The S. cumini belong to the Myrtaceae family and occurs in tropical and subtropical region of world. This plant origin is South Asia. In India plant found all over the country and it is used for food and medicine. The present study was conducted to investigate the primary phytochemical and pharmacognostic study of S. cumini . The leaves, stem-bark and fruits this plant parts used for the study of primary phytochemical and pharmacognostic examination. The pharmacognostic study based the parameter of macroscopic, microscopic and physico-chemical analysis of plant. The characteristic microscopic features of leaf and stem were observed as stomata, trichomes, multicellular trichomes, phloem cells, xylem cells, collenchyma, spongy parenchyma, vascular bundles and palisade cells. The plant parts like stem, leaves, fruits and seeds of S. cumini were collected from local forest of Nanded. The moisture content, swelling index, foaming index and fluoresces analysis of powder were characterised. Fluoresces analysis of S. cumini crude powder of leaf, stem and fruits under visible and UV light were recorded. Investigation of primary phytochemical analysis were carried out by the qualitative phytochemical test which showed the presence of alkaloids, tannin, flavonoids, saponin, steroids, triterpenoids, phenol, carbohydrate etc. The results obtained in present study will helps to understand importance of S. cumini in medicinal field.","PeriodicalId":16749,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pharmacognosy and Phytochemistry","volume":"61 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140520656","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}
