Microbiological analysis of the 2 types of food showed the presence of enterobacteria above the recommended thresholds. Concerning the antimicrobial effectiveness explored, four substances (AEV5, AB2, AB3 and AB5) revealed antibacterial activity. The MBC/MIC ratio of all these substances being less than 4 indicates that these synthesised substances all have bactericidal activity.

Demographic data and risk factors were collected for each patient. The antibiotic susceptibility of the bacterial microorganisms was determined by the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method, to identify the most appropriate antibiotic for each bacterial isolate. \u0000Results: 60% of the patients were males, the mean age of the patients was 46.5 years, unilateral right eye keratitis was involved in (54%) of cases, trauma was the major risk factor (24%), followed by systemic disease (14%). Concerning the seasonal distribution of the cases between months, our study revealed that summer and winter seasons in Libya (January, July, August, and September) involved most of the cases, and interestingly, fungal keratitis (Aspergillus) was higher in (July, August), which is the summer season in Libya. The culture positive rate was (80%), of which (36%) were bacterial, and (22%) were fungal pathogens, and the other (22%) were mixed fungal and bacterial cultures. The most common bacterial isolate was (26%) P.aeruginosa and (16%) staphylococcus aureus, while Aspergillus (40%) was the most common fungal isolate, followed by Penicillium and fusarium species. Our results showed that P.aeruginosa was the responsible microorganism for rapid keratitis progression in three cases who were using cosmetic lenses promptly.

The crude enzyme extract of Aspergillus sp. VM-1 was obtained by solid-state fermentation and used for hydrolysis of cotton linters at 60℃ for 60 min. In the chemical process, 10% alkali was used for hydrolysis at boiling temperature for 60 min. In both the processes, the hydrolyzed cotton linters were bleached with hydrogen peroxide. The MCC powders were characterized for physico-chemical and tableting properties based on Indian Pharmacopeia (IP) and Untied States Pharmacopeia (USP) specifications. \u0000Results: The α-cellulose content (%) in the synthesized MCC by enzymatic process was 98.1 while the commercial grade MCC, Avicel® PH101 had 98.5. The physico-chemical properties of synthesized MCC by enzymatic process were comparable with Avicel PH101 and meet the IP standards. The degree of polymerization (DP) of prepared MCC and Avicel PH101 were 215 and 157, respectively. The FT-IR spectrum of synthesized MCC had similarity to that of Avicel® PH101. The tableting properties of prepared MCC met USP standards. The MCC prepared from cotton linters by enzymatic was found to be superior to chemical process with respect to cellulose yield, degree of polymerization and tablet dissolution property. \u0000Conclusion: The results showed MCC synthesized from cotton linters through enzymatic route is a promising candidate for direct compressible excipient of tablet. The present study highlights that the enzymatic process significantly reduces the alkali usage and heating temperature and thus saves the chemicals and energy in the process.

Thus, the study aims to determine the bioefficacy of indigenous isolates of biocontrol fungi and bacteria viz., T. asperelloides AMUTASPD-51, T. asperellum AMUTASPM-51, T. asperellum AMUTASPM-52, T. asperellum AMUTASPM-53, T. atroviride AMUTATROV-31, T. harzianum AMUTHZ-71, T. harzianum AMUTHZ-72, T. harzianum AMUTHZ-73, T. harzianum AMUTHZ-74, T. hamatum AMUTHM-31, T. viride AMUTVR-61, T. viride AMUTVR-62, T. virens AMUTVNS-41, T. longibrachiatum AMUTLONB-41, Pochonia chlamydosporia AMUPC-31, Purpureocillium lilacinum AMUPL-31, Aspergillus niger AMUAN-41, Bacillus subtilis AMUBS-80 and Pseudomonas fluorescens AMUPF-80 against Macrophomina phaseolina AMUMP-2 by using dual inoculation technique for seven days incubation at a temperature under in-vitro condition. All species of Trichoderma fungus showed high biocontrol potential to suppress the radial growth of M. phaseolina AMUMP-2 over control. Among the biocontrol fungi and bacteria, T. viride AMUTVR-61 resulted in the highest radial inhibition of M. phaseolina AMUMP-2 by 95.0% over control. The T. harzianum AMUTHZ-72 was second most effective in decreasing the radial growth by 94.2% of the pathogens, followed by T. harzianum AMUTHZ-71 (92.8%), T. asperellum AMUTASPM-53 (86.1%), and T. harzianum AMUTHZ-74 (83.7%) over control. However, B. subtilis AMUBS-80 was found to be the least effective, suppressing radial inhibition of M. phaseolina AMUMP-2 by 21.7% over control. The present study indicates that T. viride AMUTVR-61 and T. harzianum AMUTHZ-72 were the most significant indigenous biocontrol fungi against M. phaseolina AMUMP-2.
