Arun","doi":"10.12723/MJS.44.3","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.12723/MJS.44.3","url":null,"abstract":"One of the unresolved problems in cosmology is that the measured mass density of the universe has revealed a value that was about 30% of the critical density. Since the universe is very nearly spatially flat, as is indicated by measurements of the cosmic microwave background, about 70% of the energy density of the universe was left unaccounted for. Another observation seems to be connected to this mystery. Generally one would expect the rate of expansion to slow down once the universe started expanding. The measurements of Type Ia supernovae have revealed that the expansion of the universe is actually accelerating. This accelerated expansion is attributed to the so-called dark energy (DE).Here we give a brief overview on the observational basis for DE hypothesis and how cosmological constant, initially proposed by Einstein to obtain a static universe, can play the role of dark energy.","PeriodicalId":18050,"journal":{"name":"Mapana Journal of Sciences","volume":"4 1","pages":"25-32"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85197463","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}

An efficient way of obtaining colloidal chitin and the enumeration of chitinase producing bacteria with fungicidal properties were the main objectives of the current study. For this purpose two different species of fungi, Alternaria sp. and Fusarium sp. were isolated from infected vegetables. Chitinase can be used as a potential alternative to chemical fungicides.

AAs exhibited significant variability with depths in the sediments of two mangrove ecosystems, Mangalavanam and Vypeen, situated on the west coast of India. Of the ten AAs detected, serine (Ser) was the most abundant followed by threonine (Thr), glycine (Gly), aspartic acid (Asp), tyrosine (Tyr), glutamic acid (Glu) and alanine (Ala). The trend in AA relative abundance in the sediment and leaves exhibits a close similarity indicating a major influence of plants in the supply of these compounds to the sediment. The most common AAs at both stations are Asp, which is abundant in sediments with a large organic inputs followed by Glu, which is abundant in phytoplankton and marine bacteria. Ser, Thr and Gly, which constitute diatom cell walls, were also found in significant concentration. The changes in relative abundance of various AAs with depth indicate significant seasonal variability. This may be due to the selective microbial utilization of these AAs at different depths.
