Characters such as the relative value of root number, root surface area, root volume, ratio between root and shoot length, root and shoot biomass portrayed extensive proliferation leading to enhanced biomass accumulation in shoot and root including greater phosphorus uptake. Meanwhile, path co-efficient analysis unveils that the relative value of root phosphorus concentration followed by shoot phosphorus concentration, shoot dry weight and shoot length possess a higher positive direct effect; whereas, the relative value of total leaf dry weight followed by root phosphorus utilization efficiency, shoot phosphorus utilization efficiency and root phosphorus uptake had a higher negative direct effect on relative stem biomass subsequently providing a silver lining to our outcomes. In total, this study identifies promising low phosphorus associated traits with the true nature of each trait towards relative stem dry weight.","PeriodicalId":472318,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Microbiology Biotechnology and Environmental Sciences","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136207371","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 shade dried leaf, stem, internode, callus parts of plant powder of DodoneaVisosa was extracted with Methanol overnight, filtered and concentrated. The GC Clarus 500 (Perkin Elmer) used in the investigation employed a column packed with Elite-5MS (5%Diphenyl / 95% Dimethyl poly siloxane, 30mm x 0.25mm x0.25µmdf) and the components were separated using Helium (1ml/min) as the carrier gas. The 2 µl sample extract injected into the instrument was detected by the Turbo mass gold detector (Perkin Elmer) with the aid of the Turbomass 5.2 software. The GC-MS analysis provided different peaks determining the presence of seven phytochemicals for Viraali Leaf dry powder, two Phyto-chemicals for Viraali Stem dry powder, six Phytochemicals for Viraali Internode dry powder, three phytochemicals for Viraali Callus dry powder. The phytochemical and GC-MS profiling methanolic extract of Dodonea visosa revealed the presence of bioactive compounds with important medicinal properties. Hence, the presence of these phytochemicals could be responsible for the therapeutic effects of the plant.","PeriodicalId":472318,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Microbiology Biotechnology and Environmental Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136207378","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}

However, resistance to ethambutol has been observed mainly due to mutations in probable arabinosyltransferase B (embB). In the current paper, we study the conformational changes occurring in probable arabinosyltransferase B due to mutations and their effect on the drug interactions. The mutants were modeled, energy minimized and docking was performed with ethambutol to study the interaction. On comparison with the wildtype, the rmsd of mutants were in the range of 0.5-0.65 and the average distance was 0.688. Amino acids Met306, Glu327 and Asp328 were observed to be involved in the ethambutol interaction network with the mutants having a disrupted network with these amino acids. High degree of mutations were observed between 306 and 497 amino acid positions with mutation at 306 being associated with high levels of ethambutol and multidrug resistance.","PeriodicalId":472318,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Microbiology Biotechnology and Environmental Sciences","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136207550","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}

{"title":"UTILIZATION OF AROMATIC JACKFRUIT SEED FLOUR FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF FUNCTIONAL COOKIES","authors":"None K. HIBA, P.R. GEETHA LEKSHMI","doi":"10.53550/ajmbes.2023.v25i03.003","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.53550/ajmbes.2023.v25i03.003","url":null,"abstract":"– Jackfruit ( Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam) is an important tropical fruit which bears profusely leading to seasonal glut and postharvest losses. The fruits remain underutilized and the jackfruit seeds, rich in nutrients and phytochemicals are often discarded. Cookies are widely consumed as a snack food and the demand for healthy bakery products is increasing. The food processing industry has recognized jackfruit seed as a novel food ingredient with desirable functional properties due to its high content of phytonutrients. Refined wheat flour which is generally used for cookie preparation can be replaced with jackfruit seed flour to make it more healthy. The present study was conducted with the objective to develop functional cookies with aromatic jackfruit seed flour, processed after pre-treatment, with good sensory acceptability. The cookies were prepared in different combinations of refined wheat flour, aromatic jackfruit seed flour, and jackfruit seed flour without any pre-treatments. Nutritional, physical and sensory qualities of the cookies were analysed. Aromatic jackfruit seed flour cookies had more carbohydrates, crude protein, crude fibre and total ash content than other cookies. Cookies with aromatic jackfruit seed flour (10%) and refined wheat flour (90%) combination had the highest carbohydrate (30.60%), crude protein (10.53%), crude fibre (2.47%) and total ash (2.00%) content. The yield of jackfruit seed flour cookies varied from 141.57% to 158.40% between the treatments combinations even though the difference was statistically non-significant. The thickness of jackfruit seed flour cookies was not influenced by the formulation and type of jackfruit seed flour. The treatment combination of refined wheat flour (100%) without cocoa powder had the highest diameter of 6.47 cm, and aromatic jackfruit seed flour (10%) and refined wheat flour combination (90%) recorded a diameter of 4.39 cm. The spread ratio of jackfruit seed flour varied from 6.76 to 4.01 and the treatment combination of aromatic jackfruit seed flour (10%) and refined wheat flour (90%) had a spread ratio of 4.17. The sensory qualities of the jackfruit cookies revealed that the treatment combination of 10% aromatic jackfruit seed flour and refined wheat flour (90%) recorded the highest mean score for appearance, crumb colour, texture, mouthfeel, flavour and overall acceptability with lower cracking. Based on the results of nutritional, physical and sensory analyses, the cookies developed by the substitution of 10% aromatic jackfruit seed flour instead of refined wheat flour yielded nutritionally rich cookies with consumer acceptability.","PeriodicalId":472318,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Microbiology Biotechnology and Environmental Sciences","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136208223","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}
