Characterizations, physio-chemical and biological evaluation of novel nanostructure hydroxyapatite synthesized by conventional method using egg shell and by green synthesis method using Melia dubia extract J. Mohemed Ali In Inorganic Chemistry Communications, , Jun 2022.
Abstract [+]
Nanomaterials based on hydroxyapatite (HA) are well synthesized in the traditional mode using reagents, are not ecological friendly and are of very expensive one. Since current research areas are well focused on the production/ synthesis of nanomaterials using an environmental friendly approach, the synthesis of green HA using plant extracts is of paramount importance. In this context, this work is carried out for the chemical and green synthesis of HA and GHA nanorods, from egg shells and Melia dubia as well as for the characterization of their structural, morphological, thermal, optical XRD, EDAX, SEM, and FT-IR analysis as well as in mechano and in influx for filter uses. Antimicrobial properties of these nanorods are evaluated. GHA nanorods are made using the herb Melia dubia. HA and GHA are evaluated for antimicrobial properties against Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Proteus vulgaris and Escherichia coli. The results showed that GHA exhibits a strong antibacterial effect against all bacteria studied. GHA nanoparticles can be used for various applications due to their environmental friendliness, non-toxicity and compatibility in bio and especially in tribological and electronics. |

Ascidians as bioresources: An anti-inflammatory activity of colonial ascidians Eudistoma ovatum and Didemnum perlucidum Kaleemullah Khan In Journal of Biologically Active Products from Nature, , Jun 2021, Volume: 11 (3), Page: 254 – 268.
Abstract [+]
Carrageenan-induced rat paw edema is a prominent inflammatory model to evaluate the anti-inflammatory effect of compounds of biological origin. In animals pretreated with Eudistoma ovatum (EO) and Didemnum perlucidum (DP) drugs, there was significant and dose-dependent inhibition of Carrageenan-induced posterior paw edema. A variety of antioxidant enzymes, such as Superoxide dismutase (SOD), Glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and Glutathione reductase (GRd) can scavenge and minimize the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). SOD protects cells against the damages of ROS. GPx in the presence of glutathione (GSH) accelerates the reduction of H2O2 or other organic hydroperoxides and serves as a second line of defense against hydroperoxides. The amount of platelets is affected by the increased plasma concentration of active proteins in the acute response to inflammation. Anti-inflammatory activity in carrageenan-induced paw edema in rat model was found in the extract of both ascidians E. ovatum and D. perlucidum. But the methanolic extract of E. ovatum showed more significant anti-inflammatory activity. The study includes the investigation on the effects of EO and DP on some oxidative parameters such as lipid peroxidation (LPO), SOD and GSH level, hematological parameters (RBC, WBC and Platelets, cytokines (IL 6 and TNF α), hepatic enzymes (Acid phosphatase - ACP and Alkaline phosphatase - ALP) and membrane-bound glycoproteins (hexose, hexosamine, sialic acid, and fucose). This study provided the finely tuned of the extracts in inflammatory diseases. Thus, a pharmacological basis is achieved for use of the ascidians against rheumatism and other associated diseases. |

In-vitro study for antimitotic potential of ascidians using Allium cepa L. Root meristamatic cells. Sudhandra Karthi In International Journal of Research And Analytical Reviews , , May 2019.
Abstract [+]
Four ascidians, Didemnum psammathodes, Eudistoma muscosum, Lissoclinum bistratum and L. fragile extracts were used to evaluate antimitotic effects in root tip cells of Allium cepa. All the extracts caused an increase in mitotic index of A. cepa treated cells with increasing concentrations of treatment in all cases. However, roots treated with the highest concentration showed decreased in their mitotic index. The results of this study showed that, of the four analyzed ascidians, the methanol extract of L. bistratum had excellent antimitotic activity which is followed by D. psammathodes, L. fragile and E. muscosum with the Mitotic Index of 18, 24, 38 and 46 respectively. The number of cells entering prophase decreased with increase in concentration of the extracts. This finding suggests that the promising antimitotic properties of L. bistratum could be exploited in against cancer cells. |

Impact of artificial coastal protection structures on Ascidians settlement along the Tamil Nadu coast, India 3. Jebarathanam Prince Prakash Jebakumar In Oceanologia, , Mar 2019.
Abstract [+]
Ascidians are one of the dominant marine sedentary filter feeders recorded more frequently as introduced species than other taxa. It is renowned that artificial structures offer novel niches to the non-native species. A yearlong investigation was carried out to understand the role of ascidian colonization on various artificial structures located along 84 stations stretched on the 1076 km long Tamil Nadu coast of South India. It revealed the occurrence of 26 ascidian species, among these18 specimens were identified to species level, 8 were identified to genus level based on morphological characters. As on origin and nativity, out of the total 26, 3 species were classified as introduced, 8 species were classified as native and 15 as cryptogenic species. Interestingly, Polyclinum isipingense and Diplosoma variostigmatum were reported first time in Indian waters. The cryptogenic and colonial forms of ascidians are dominant in the artificial structures. There were significant differences observed between artificial structure type, geographic locations (p = 0.0071) and between ascidians forms as well as geographic areas (p = 0.00375). This study also confirms the artificial structures offer new niches for non-native ascidian colonization. The influence of the substrate (structure type) as well as geographic locations on the biotic assemblage was also observed. |

Comparative study on DNA extraction methods for PCR amplification of COI gene from ascidians of Indian coast Kaleemullah Khan In International Journal of Zoology Studies, , Mar 2018.
Abstract [+]
Ascidians (Tunicates/Urochordates) are excellent animal models for developmental, evolutionary and molecular biology studies. Isolation of DNA is the basic phase for most of the molecular biology studies including DNA barcoding. So far there is no definite method for the isolation of DNA from ascidians. In an effort to overwhelm this problem, three different methods such as Phenol-Chloroform, Salting out and Kit method were evaluated for DNA extraction. Results showed that among the three methods, kit method, after few modifications, yielded sufficient quantity and quality of DNA. The yield of DNA between the samples and methods was significant (P<0.005). This method is more pronounced for the PCR amplification of COI gene with tunicate primer. |

DNA barcoding and phylogenetic analysis of five ascidians (Phlebobranchia) distributed in Gulf of Mannar, India. Soban Akram In Mitochondrial DNA Part A DNA Mapping, Sequencing, and Analysis, , May 2017.
Abstract [+]
DNA barcoding has played a significant role in biodiversity assessment as well as its conservation. This technique involves sequencing of mitochondrial marker gene including a short COI gene, known as barcode gene. It has proved its efficiency in identifying several species and resolving the limitations incurred during identification through conventional taxonomy. This study involves the use of DNA barcoding of ascidian species belonging to order Phlebobranchia. A total of 14 individuals, covering two families, three genera and five species, were barcoded. COI gene sequences of all the five species were deposited for the first time in NCBI as well as BOLD. The NJ tree revealed identical phylogenetic relationship among the individuals collected from three different stations. Mean Kimura 2-parameter (K2P) distances within-species, genus, family and order were 0.08%, 6.69%, 9.49% and 18.58%, respectively. This result concludes that COI gene sequencing is the efficient tool in identifying ascidians of the order Phlebobranchia. We report for the first time the COI gene sequences of four species of ascidians studied. |

. DNA barcoding of a colonial ascidian, Lissoclinum fragile (Van Name, 1902), Abdul Jaffar Ali H In Mitochondrial DNA Part A: DNA Mapping, Sequencing, and Analysis, , Nov 2016.
Abstract [+]
Ascidians (tunicates) are marine benthic organisms possessing various pharmacological activities, including anti-oxidant, anti-tumour, antimicrobial, etc. They also play a key role as model organisms to study various neurobehavioral disorders. Ascidian diversity is reportedly less in India due to lack of taxonomists as well as the limitations in morphology based taxonomy. Molecular taxonomy, comprising the sequencing of cytochrome c oxidase 1 gene (barcode region) otherwise known as DNA barcoding reduces these bottlenecks. Since several species of the family Didemnidae closely resemble in morphology, the present study was aimed to develop DNA barcodes of a colonial ascidian, Lissoclinum fragile belonging to the family Didemnidae. CO1 gene of L. fragile from Thoothukudi, Mandapam, and Vizhinjam waters were sequenced and submitted in GenBank, NCBI through Barcode submission tool. BLAST results showed maximum identity (97–100%) for L. fragile collected from different stations. The pairwise genetic distances within species and genera were calculated using Kimura two parameter (K2P) and the phylogenetic tree was constructed using Neighbour-Joining Tree. |

Identification of four Indian ascidians based on COI gene sequences. Abdul Jaffar Ali H In Mitochondrial DNA Part A: DNA Mapping, Sequencing, and Analysis, , Oct 2016.
Abstract [+]
DNA barcoding involving the sequencing of a short mitochondrial DNA segment, cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (COI) gene, is a specialized technique for the identification of species even at the early embryonic and larval stages, which is quite difficult in morphology-based taxonomy. Ascidians are sessile invertebrate chordates possessing numerous biochemical as well as pharmacological activities. In this study, a total of 36 ascidian samples belonging to the family Didemnidae were sequenced for a 650 bp region of the mitochondrial COI gene. All the species were represented by multiple specimens. The barcode sequences showed no stop-codons and indels in the alignments. The aligned sequences were submitted in Barcode submission tool, NCBI, and the accession numbers were obtained. The minimum intraspecific distance was found to be 0.00% and the maximum was 2.23%. Mean Kimura 2-parameter (K2P) distances within-species, genus, and family were 0.88, 5.98, and 20.03%, respectively. The mean interspecific distance is more than the mean intraspecific divergence, which indicates efficiency of DNA barcoding for identification of ascidians. |

Distribution and invasiveness of a colonial ascidian, Didemnum psammathodes, along the southern Indian coastal water Abdul Jaffar Ali, H In Oceanologia, , Apr 2016.
Abstract [+]
Ascidians are well known worldwide for their rapid invasions and also for the presence of potential biomedical molecules. Members of the family Didemnidae are widely distributed in tropical waters and they are reported to be among the families possessing rich bioactive compounds. Didemnum psammathodes has a cosmopolitan distribution in tropical waters. The growing evidence of multifarious potential and ever increasing invasion of this species accentuated the need for additional research into its diversity and distribution for sustainable utilization and conservation. The present study was intended to focus on distribution and invasiveness of colonial ascidian, D. psammathodes, along the southern Indian peninsular waters. The present data are based on our own observations made during 2012—2014 period and also on the published and unpublished records of the last 20 years. Out of 45 stations surveyed, D. psammathodes was encountered at a maximum of 41 stations and was found to be more abundant in Hare Island (n = 42), North Break Water (n = 38) and Vizhinjam bay (n = 32). This species was absent at four different stations. Catch per unit effort was higher (19.6) in Hare Island followed by NBW (16.0) and Vizhinjam bay (6.8). The highest number of colonies (136) was observed in calcareous stones, followed by embedded rocks (54) and molluscan shells (33). Hydrographical parameters showed no significant differences between the stations ( p < 0.005). It is concluded that D. psammathodes has the potential to invade most of the stations and its distribution was not influenced by hydrographical parameters rather than substrates. |

Diversity of ascidians in the selected transects along the Thoothukudi coast. Mohammed Kaleem Arshan, M.L. In International Journal of Science and Humanities., , Dec 2015.
Abstract [+]
Indian coastline is dotted with 12 major ports and number of minor ports and provided with diverse habitats which are ideal for the settlement of number of ascidians. Even though India has very long coastline extending to about 7000 km, only limited species of ascidian have been recorded. Exhaust review of literature revealed that there are untouched and undisturbed areas available in Indian regimes. These areas are to be explored not only for conserving the biodiversity but also for monitoring the alarming entry of exotic species through ballast water and hull of ships, as these species have significant effects on biodiversity rich area. In this context, the present study is aimed to report ascidians of two ecologicallysignificant stations such as Hare Island and Inigo Nagar located |

Comparative study on bioremediation of heavy metals by solitary ascidian, Phallusia nigra, between Thoothukudi and Vizhinjam ports of India Abdul Jaffar Ali, H In Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety Journal, , May 2015.
Abstract [+]
Ascidians belonging to the sub-phylum Uro-chordata are used as potential model organisms in various parts of the world for biosorption of metals.The sedentary nature, filter feeding habits, presence of vanadocytes and the absence of kidneys cause them to accumulate metals.The present study was aimed to compare biosorption of metals such as cadmium,copper,lead,mercury and vanadium in test and mantle body of solitary ascidian Phallusia nigra between two ecologically significant stations such as Thoothukudi (Station1) and Vizhinjam (Station2) ports of India.Monthly Sampling Of Water And P.nigra were done for a period of one year from September 2010 to August 2011 and subjected to analysis of metal accumulation.The average metal concentrations except mercury in the Thoothukudi water were found to be higher of comparable magnitudes than the Vizhinjam water.One-way ANOVA showed significant differences between the stations.A comparison of average metal concentrations in the test and mantle bodyof P.nigra between two stations showed that the enrichment of V, Cd, Pb, Cu and Hg in the Thoothukudi samples may be due to high bioaccumulation factors of these elements as compared to other species of ascidians.The bioaccumulation factors were in the order of V> Pb >Cd >Cu > Hg for the test and mantle body in stations 1 and 2. Application of one- way ANOVA for the concentration of these metals between test and mantle body showed significant differences in both stations.Similarly, ANOVA for biosorption of these trace metals by P.nigra showed significant differences between stations. Metal concentrations recorded in this ascidian could effectively be used as good reference material for monitoring metal contamination in Indian sea waters. |

Abstract [+]
The aim of this study was to assess the effect of phosalone on the tilapia, Oreochromis mossambicus. The effect was assessed on the basis of the results of acute toxicity tests and comparison of results of haematological examination of a control and an experimental group exposed to phosalone. The 96 h LC50 is the basic value in the acute toxicity test and it was 0.26 mg/L for phosalone against the test fish. Haematological profile of the healthy fish was carried out with 2 sublethal concentrations, viz 0.0325 mg/L (1/8) and 0.065 mg/L (1/4) of phosalone. The experiment was performed semi-statically with a group of 10 fish in 10 experimental aquaria, 2 control aquaria, and 4 aquaria each with different concentrations. The results showed that phosalone had some effect on the haematological parameters of tilapia. It was determined that the total RBCs, WBCs, haemoglobin content, and haematocrit value significantly decreased (P < 0.001). The percentages of erythrocyte sedimentation rate, mean corpuscular haemoglobin, and mean corpuscular haemoglobin |

Abstract [+]
Diversity and distribution of 42 species of ascidians belonging to 7 families and 19 genera from six different stations along the southwest coast of India were documented. Most of the species were recorded for the first time from the southwest coast of India while three species appear to be new records from India. Previous records of these species in India were usually from Gulf of Mannar particularly in Thoothukudi water. The family Didemnidae was represented by 13 species of 4 genera followed by Styelidae (11 species of 7 genera), Polyclinidae (7 species of 2 genera), Pyuridae (6 species of 2 genera), Perophoridae (two species) and Polycitoridae and Ascidiidae (one species each). The present study showed that the diversity and distribution of ascidians have changed considerably when compared to a previous report. Recruitment of ascidians in Vizhinjam Bay |

Abstract [+]
Nanomaterials based on hydroxyapatite (HA) are well synthesized in the traditional mode using reagents, are not ecological friendly and are of very expensive one. Since current research areas are well focused on the production/synthesis of nanomaterials using an environmental friendly approach, the synthesis of green HA using plant extracts is of paramount importance. In this context, this work is carried out for the chemical and green synthesis of HA and GHA nanorods, from egg shells and Melia dubia as well as for the characterization of their structural, morphological, thermal, optical XRD, EDAX, SEM, and FT-IR analysis as well as in mechano and in influx for filter uses. Antimicrobial properties of these nanorods are evaluated. GHA nanorods are made using the herb Melia dubia. HA and GHA are evaluated for antimicrobial properties against Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Proteus vulgaris and Escherichia coli. The results showed that GHA exhibits a strong antibacterial effect against all bacteria studied. GHA nanoparticles can be used for various applications due to their environmental friendliness, non-toxicity and compatibility in bio and especially in tribological and electronics. |

Ethnobotanical Survey of Herbal Plants at Kalvarayan hills of Tamil Nadu, India N.P.M.Mohamed Tariq In Research and Reviews: Journal of Herbal Science , , Jul 2018, Volume: 7, Page: 25-29.
Abstract [+]
Ethnobotanical inspection was conducted on the Kalvarayan hills in the Vilupuram district, Tamil Nadu, India. The principle of this research is to collect data on medicinal plants available in the Kalvarai hills to preserve its rich biological resources through registries, as there is little information about the existence of medicinal plants in this region. This survey was conducted on the basis of semi-structured interviews, field visits and joint observations. A total of 20 medicinal plants were found and confirmed in the Herbarium of the University of Madras in Chennai. Plant species belonging to various families, such as Lilaceae, Solanaceae, Euphorbiaceae, followed by Lamiaceae and Apocyanaceae, have been found. These plants have medicinal properties, including anti-cancer, anti-diabetic, antidotes, antibacterial, anthelmintic, antispasmodic, anti-analgesics, healing of epilepsy, diarrhea, weakness, etc. This may be due to the growth of parthenic herbicide species. The presence of this herbicide led to a decrease in some medicinal plants in this area. Further research is needed to the hills slowly declining biological resources in this region. |

Abstract [+]
An ethno botanical survey was conducted in Yelagiri hills, located in Vellore district, Tamil Nadu (State), India. The purpose of this study is to collect data about medicinal plants available in yelagiri hills in order to preserve its rich bio resources through documentation since there is scarce information about the existence of medicinal plants in this region. This survey was conducted based on semi structured interviews, field visits and participatory observations. A total of 28 medicinal plants were identified and confirmed in herbarium of university of madras, Chennai. Plant species belonging to diverse families like Lilaceae, Solanaceae, Euphorbiaceae followed by Lamiaceae, apocyanaceae were found. These plants have medicinal properties including anticancer, antidiabetic, antidote, antibacterial, anthelminthic, antispasmodic, antianalgesic, cure for epilepsy, diarrhea, weaknesses etc. However, certain medicinal plants were found to be in vulnerable condition like Ocimum sanctum and Leucas aspera. This could be due to growth of herbicide parthenium species. The presence of this herbicide has led to the decline of certain medicinal plants in this area. Further investigation is required to preserve the bioresources that is slowly declining in this region |

Preliminary Investigation and Computational identification of New Genes from Leguminaceae. N.P.M.Mohamed Tariq In Indian Journal of Natural Sciences (IJONS), , Jun 2011, Volume: 2, Page: 612-626.
Abstract [+]
The Fabaceae, the third largest family of plants and the source of many crops, has been the target of many genomic studies. Currently, only the grasses surpass the Chena legumes for the number of publicly available expressed sequence tags (ESTs). The quantity of sequences from diverse plants enables the use of computational approaches to identify novel genes in specific taxa. We used BLAST algorithms to compare unigene sets from Chickpea to nonlegume unigene sets, to GenBank’s nonredundant and EST databases, and to the genomic sequences of rice and Arabidopsis. As a working definition, putatively legume-specific genes had no sequence homology, below a specified threshold, to publicly available sequences of nonlegumes. As a first step toward predicting function, related sequences were clustered to build motifs that could be searched against protein databases. Evolutionary analyses of the genomic sequences of several CCPs in M. truncatula suggest that this family has evolved by local duplications and divergent selection. |

Molecular Identification of Ascomycota Fungi Using Its Region as DNA Barcodes Shabeer Ahmed Nariyampet In J Biochem Technol, , Mar 2023, Volume: 14(1), Page: 45-49.
Abstract [+]
We studied the material collected from agricultural land. Four Ascomycota fungi were isolated from the soil sample. The preliminary identification based on morphological characters using taxonomic keys was done only up to the genus level, due to overlapping characters, making identification difficult. Therefore the Internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region also called as fungal DNA barcode was sequenced. The obtained results were compared with GenBank, the NCBI database, and identification was made up to species level based on the similarity search result. The phylogenetic relationship among the species and between species was studied using a neighbor-joining tree. The genetic distance between the study fungi was computed through the maximum composite likelihood model. These sequences were deposited in GenBank, NCBI, and accession numbers were allotted by GenBank to the submitted sequences. Based on the morphological characters and the DNA sequence analysis results, the isolated fungus was identified as Aspergillus terrus and Aspergillus flavus. |

A study on codon usage bias in cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) gene of solitary ascidian Herdmania momus Savigny, 1816. Shabeer Ahmed Nariyampet In Elsevier, , Dec 2019, Volume: 17.
Abstract [+]
Synonymous codon usage bias is an inevitable phenomenon in organismic taxa, where synonymous codons occur at uneven frequencies in gene. Synonymous codon usage pattern differs between species and also among the genes of a genome. Codon usage bias is determined under various degrees by mutational bias, natural selection and other factors. In this study codon usage pattern of cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) gene of a solitary ascidian Herdmania momus was determined by analyzing the nucleotide content, codon distribution frequency, hydrophobicity, Relative Synonymous Codon Usage (RSCU), Effective Number of Codons (ENC), GC3 and Codon Adaptation Index (CAI) values. Results presented low GC content and higher ENC values indicating less bias in codon usage preference. The Grand Average of Hydropathicity (GRAVY) values and hydropathy plot confirmed |

NUMTS: AN IMPEDIMENT TO DNA BARCODING OF POLYCLINIDS, TUNICATA. N. SHABEER AHMED In Taylor and Francis, , Mar 2015, Volume: 1, Page: 3395-3398.
Abstract [+]
The mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene, a widely accepted molecular marker for species identification and classification, has been questioned because of the presence of Numts. In this study we found the presence of Numts in the COI chromatogram of two tunicates, Polyclinum indicum and Polyclinum madrasensis belonging to the genus Polyclinum. Numts were also present in our sequence (Accession Number: KJ944391) and in other sequences belonging to genus Polyclinum in the GenBank record. The GeneBank database of genus Polyclinum contains COI-like sequences and COI pseudogenes, but no record of COI gene from Polyclinids. The prevalence of Numts in Polyclinids belonging to Tunicata, is an impediment to DNA barcoding studies of Polyclinum species. |

Enhanced Bioactivity of Streptomycin Bioconjugated Metal Nanoparticles Against Streptomycin Resistant Bacillus Sp S.U. Mohammed Riyaz In Indian Journal of Microbiology, , Mar 2024, Volume: 64, Page: 1-18.
Abstract [+]
The emergence of multidrug resistance in pathogenic organisms has caused growing concern, especially among healthcare providers, necessitating the development of new antimicrobial compounds. Resistance to metal nanoparticles is more challenging for any pathogen and thus paved a new avenue of research to formulate a new line of drugs combined with metal nanoparticles to treat microbial resistance. In this present investigation, green synthesised silver (AgNP), gold (AuNP), and platinum (PtNP) nanoparticles using the rind extract of the fruit of Garcinia mangostana L., were bioconjugated with Streptomycin. Visual colour change in solution was evidenced as the result of bioconjugation process and also significant shift in the UV–Vis spectra was recorded. The antibacterial activity against Streptomycin resistant Bacillus sp., was performed with bare and bioconjugates, AuNP and PtNP did not show any activity whereas their bioconjugates showed 100% activity and MIC was recorded as 0.1067ppm (SAuNP) and 34ppm (SPtNP), SAgNP and AgNP showed antibacterial activity but comparatively higher activity was exhibited by SAgNP. MIC for AgNP and SAgNP was recorded as 0.325 ppm and 0.187 ppm respectively. The results of cell viability test showed that the highest percentage of cell death was recorded with SAuNP treated cells (96%), followed by SPtNP (95.5%), SAgNP (95.4%) and AgNP (92.6%). The hemocompatibility was evaluated using human erythrocytes. No hemolysis was observed with any of the test compounds at their MIC. The results of SEM analysis supported the report as it showed the characteristic biconcave RBC cells with smooth surfaces, strongly suggesting hemocompatibility of the test compounds. Reference1 |

Advances in functional lipid nanoparticles: from drug delivery platforms to clinical applications SU Mohammed Riyaz In 3 Biotech, , Feb 2024, Volume: 14, Page: 57.
Abstract [+]
Since Doxil's first clinical approval in 1995, lipid nanoparticles have garnered great interest and shown exceptional therapeutic efficacy. It is clear from the licensure of two RNA treatments and the mRNA-COVID-19 vaccination that lipid nanoparticles have immense potential for delivering nucleic acids. The review begins with a list of lipid nanoparticle types, such as liposomes and solid lipid nanoparticles. Then it moves on to the earliest lipid nanoparticle forms, outlining how lipid is used in a variety of industries and how it is used as a versatile nanocarrier platform. Lipid nanoparticles must then be functionally modified. Various approaches have been proposed for the synthesis of lipid nanoparticles, such as High-Pressure Homogenization (HPH), microemulsion methods, solvent-based emulsification techniques, solvent injection, phase reversal, and membrane contractors. High-pressure homogenization is the most commonly used method. All of the methods listed above follow four basic steps, as depicted in the flowchart below. Out of these four steps, the process of dispersing lipids in an aqueous medium to produce liposomes is the most unpredictable step. A short outline of the characterization of lipid nanoparticles follows discussions of applications for the trapping and transporting of various small molecules. It highlights the use of rapamycin-coated lipid nanoparticles in glioblastoma and how lipid nanoparticles function as a conjugator in the delivery of anticancer-targeting nucleic acids. High biocompatibility, ease of production, scalability, non-toxicity, and tailored distribution are just a meager of the enticing allowances of using lipid nanoparticles as drug delivery vehicles. Due to the present constraints in drug delivery, more research is required to utterly realize the potential of lipid nanoparticles for possible clinical and therapeutic purposes.

Herbal plants have been used, in light of their responsiveness and wide availability, for the construction of a pioneering nanomaterial. In this study, a colloidal suspension of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) was synthesized from an extract of Madhuca longifolia (ML) using chloroauric acid. For biomedical applications, Madhuca longifolia (ML) was used as a bioreductant as well as a capping agent The formed ML-GNPs were analyzed using different analytical techniques, antioxidant assays, and thiazolyl blue formazan assay against A549 cell lines to evaluate clinical relevance. They were further evaluated for their influence on antimicrobial activity using a disc diffusion test against two different microorganisms, Proteus vulgaris and Micrococcus luteus. The ML-GNPs produced had good antioxidant, antibacterial, and anticancer activities. The conformation of the XRD spectra with prominent characteristic planes was indexed to the face-centered cubic (fcc)-structured GNPs. Surface morphology analysis was used to determine the particle size of the GNPs. Fourier transform infrared spectra of the samples were used to determine the analogs for strong H bonding. The MIC values of biogenic GNPs against both strains of Proteus vulgaris and Micrococcus luteus was calculated as 0.29 and 0.96 g/mL, respectively, and triclosan was considered as 0.4 and 2 g/mL, respectively. The findings of this study will be beneficial for future studies of the therapeutic potential of ML-GNPs. Actively, ML-GNPs can be a capable material for formulating nanomedicines after subsequent clinical experiments. |

Abstract [+]
Gold nanoparticles having composition of gold nanoparticles-Thymoquinone (Au NPs-TQ) were prepared using a solid-state technique. The solid state synthesized Au NPs-TQ was characterized by XRD, SEM/EDAX, TEM, FTIR, Raman, proton NMR and GC�MS spectroscopic methods of analysis. Computational docking analyses were carried out to investigate the inhibitory action of Au NPs-TQ against virulent M. tuberculosis H37Rv strain protein and VP28 virus envelope protein. AutoDock Tools was used to perform the in silico docking analysis, which was based on the scoring function of linear weight and force field for the docked configuration. The optimum binding energy for the Au NPs-TQ was �6.5 kcal/mol against KasA from Mtb strain and �4.8 kcal/mol for VP28 protein. The effect of binding of Au NPs-TQ with complex structure is investigated using in silico molecular docking studies in this approach. |

Silver Nanoparticles, Synthesized using Hyptis suaveolens (L) Poit and their Antifungal Activity against Candida spp. S.U. Mohammed Riyaz In ChemistrySelect, , Dec 2022, Volume: 7, Page: 1-11.
Abstract [+]
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), due to their interesting properties and many potential applications have attracted enormous interests in recent years. An attempt has been made in this present study to synthesize AgNPs through biological reduction of silver nitrate, with leaf extract of Hyptis suaveolens (L) Poit serving as a reducing agent. AgNPs formed were characterized with spectral (UV-Vis, XRD, FTIR) and electron microscopic investigations. Dispersed spherical nanosilver particles in the range of 2�nm�85�nm were observed through microscopic analysis and the crystalline nature was evidenced through XRD analyses. Anticandidal activity of biosynthesised AgNPs was evaluated against two Candida albicans strains. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values for AgNPs against the two clinical strains were 0.27±0.03�μg/ml and 0.97±0.13�μg/ml. AgNPs were found to be more effective than the amphotericin-B used as control against the strains of the test pathogens. Scanning electron microscopic (SEM) analyses of the Candida cells treated with AgNPs shows change in the surface morphology, suggesting cell wall disruption to be a potential mode of anticandidal activity. Based on our observations, AgNPs synthesized with leaf extract of Hyptis suaveolens could be potentially used in combating candidal infections. |

Eco friendly synthesis and characterization of zinc oxide nanoparticles from Aegle marmelos and its cytotoxicity effects on MCF-7 cell lines S.U.Mohammed Riyaz In Nanofabrication, , Dec 2021, Volume: 6, Page: 44-51.
Abstract [+]
An attempt was made to synthesize zinc oxide gum white nanoparticles (ZnO-GWNPs) by the greenway approach using Aegle marmelos (Bael fruit) juice extract as a capping and reducing agent. Synthesis of ZnO-GWNPs by greener approach is safer, more economical, more energy-efficient, eco-friendlier, and less toxic than chemically synthesized counterparts. The optical properties of the ZnO-GWNPs were ascertained through UV-Vis spectroscopy, Fourier Transform-Infrared (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), High-resolution transmittance electron microscopy (HRTEM). A characteristic absorption peak at 385nm confirmed the presence of ZnO-GWNP using UV-Vis spectroscopy. FTIR spectrum revealed that the characteristic absorption peak of the Zn-O bond was observed at 467 cm-1. The XRD result for the ZnO showed the tendency of the three most intense diffraction peaks. The average crystallite size ZnO NPs at scattering angle (2 θ ) 22.89 and 32.15 was 39.14 and 26.08 nm and it showed the presence of miller indices of (100), (002), (101), (102) respectively. The EDX spectrum gave strong signals for zinc and oxygen indicating the occurrence of the nanoparticles in their oxide form rather than the pure zinc form. The SEM image showed the surface morphology of ZnO-GW NPs and the HR-TEM image showed the crystalline nature of ZnO-GW NPs. Cytotoxicity study of ZnO-GW NPs was determined against MCF-7 cell lines and the IC50 values were found to be 40 µg/mL and 60 µg/mL at 24 h and 48 h respectively. |

Microbiome in the ice-ice disease of the farmed red algae Kappaphycus alvarezii and degradation of extracted food carrageenan S.U.Mohammed Riyaz In Food Bioscience, , Aug 2021, Volume: 42, Page: 1-8.
Abstract [+]
Kappaphycus alvarezii, a macroalgae which produces a strong and rigid gel like substance called κ-carrageenan. The development of ice-ice disease in the K. alvarezii seaweed has considerable consequences for the carrageenan business. Effect of ice-ice diseases on carrageenan quality in relation to healthy K. alvarezii was examined completely by different analytical methods like UV-Spectrometry, FTIR, 1H NMR, HPLC, GC-MS. Histological studies like sectioning of ice-ice diseased tissue showed variations in structure of the polysaccharides, which also confirms the association of pathogens in K. alvarezii. Analysis of carrageenan degradation was done based on high-throughput Illumina sequencing of the V3 –V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene, since the assessment of microbiome plays a major role in assessing the health of the seaweed. This region provides ample information for taxonomic classification of microbial communities from specimens associated with microbiome studies. Carrageenase from bacteria for the disease degrades the carrageenan. |

Abstract [+]
The seaweeds are taxonomically diverse group of marine plants found in intertidal and sub-tidal regions all over the world. Like other plants seaweeds are also affected by microbial pathogens it reduces the quality and market value of seaweeds. Kappaphycus alvarezii is a main source for carrageenan it gets affected by microbiome in unfavorable conditions which leads to the formation of white thalli disease namely called as Ice-ice disease, where the seaweed tissue become white and hard. In this study we have isolated eight different bacterial species from ice -ice diseased seaweed and identified using molecular analysis and established these species has key role to cause the disease by producing kappa carragenase enzyme which hydrolysis kappa carrageenan. Molecular docking has been extensively used to discover new targets for existing and natural bacterial compounds or enzymes. Molecular docking was employed as an effective approach to locate the potential binding site of macromolecular targets, encouraging interaction with GLN102,ARG151,TYR161,GLU163,ASP168,TRP194,ARG196,ARG260. The results suggest that molecular docking is an effective approach to locate and identify the target bacterial enzyme which has carragenan degrading activity. The present study evidently demonstrates the degrading of kappa-carragenan by kappa-carragenase enzyme from particular bacterial strain namely P.carragenovara. |

First report of Tomato leaf curl NewDelhi virus infecting Crossandra infundibuliformis (L.) in India. Deepan Sundarajan In Plant Disease, , Jan 2020, Volume: 104, Page: 999.
Abstract [+]
Crossandra infundibuliformis (L.), commonly known as firecracker flower, is a common flowering plant belonging to the family Acanthaceae. It is commonly cultivated in southern India for its attractive flowers. Symptoms of leaf yellowing, leaf mottling, leaf curling, and distortion as well as stunted growth and flower abortion were observed in C. infundibuliformis plants grown in Dharmapuri district (Tamil Nadu, India). In 2011, we observed the first symptom of leaf curl disease, and a partial sequence of tomato leaf curl New Delhi virus (ToLCNDV) was deposited in GenBank (JN410650). Further, in a survey conducted from 2013 to 2015, a total of 30 symptomatic samples suspected of begomovirus infection were collected along with a nonsymptomatic sample. In particular, intact twin icosahedral geminivirus particles (∼18 × 30 nm) were observed by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy in a partially purified extract from symptomatic leaves. Total DNA was extracted and subjected to PCR using coat protein gene-specific degenerate primers (FP/RP) (Riyaz et al. 2013) and replication-associated protein gene-specific degenerate primers ToLCNDVRepFP (5′-ATGAAGTAWGAACAGCCRCAC-3′) and ToLCNDVRepRP (5′-CCATCCGAACATTCAGGGAG-3′). PCR products of the expected sizes of ∼500 and ∼850 bp were obtained from 25 out of 30 plants, and respective PCR products were eluted from gels and sequenced. In sequence analysis, the isolate from C. infundibuliformis (CI1) showed 89 to 92% nucleotide identity with the ToLCNDV isolates reported earlier from India (KM269361, KM269355, and KP868764). Rolling circle amplification (RCA) was performed using a TempliPhi kit (GE Healthcare). RCA products were subjected to PCR amplification employing abutting primers AKKCI1F (5′-ACCTAATGGCAGAATTGTAATTTTG-3′) and AKKCI1R (5′-AATATTATACGAATGGCCGCTTTAG-3′) for DNA-A and BKKCI1F (5′-ACCGAAAGGCCGCGAAAATTTATCCTG-3′) and BKKCI1R (5′-AATATTAGACGAAAGGCCGCTATGA-3′) for DNA-B. The amplified PCR products were ligated into pJET1.2/blunt vector and cloned using a CloneJet PCR cloning kit (Thermo Scientific, U.S.A.). The clones were sequenced by primer walking, and the corresponding sequences assembled to DNA-A and DNA-B fragments were deposited under GenBank accessions MK395548 and MK395549, respectively. DNA-A (2,742 bp) showed 96% sequence identity with the DNA-A component of a ToLCNDV isolate infecting the bitter gourd crop in India (KP868764), whereas DNA-B (2,694 bp) showed 87% identity with the DNA-B component of a ToLCNDV isolate from India infecting chrysanthemum (MG758147). In addition, association of a betasatellite was also confirmed through PCR assay using universal primer pair Beta01/Beta02 (Briddon et al. 2002), followed by sequencing. The nucleotide sequence of the associated betasatellite (1,352 bp) shared 93.7% identity with the betasatellite component of tomato leaf curl New Delhi betasatellite (ToLCuNDB) reported from New Delhi (JX679002) on tomato. The betasatellite sequence was deposited in GenBank (MK040727). This study records the coexistence of bipartite ToLCNDV and ToLCuNDB in C. infundibuliformis with the evidence of their full-length genome for the first time from India. |

Abstract [+]
In the present study, an attempt has been made to explore the antifouling potential of bioactive compound isolated from sponge associated bacterium Halobacillus kuroshimensis SNSAB01. The crude extract of SNSAB01 strongly inhibited the growth of fouling bacterial strains with least minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC). The bioactive compound was characterized through FT-IR, HPLC, GCsingle bondMS and NMR predicted as ‘pyrrolo”. From the mass spectral library, structure was elucidated as pyrrolo [1, 2-a] pyrazine-1, 4-dione, hexahydro. The in silico studies provided encouraging docking scores with two interactions by GLN 200 and GLU 304. The extract inhibited 89% diatom adhesion at 350 μg/ml concentration against Amphora sp. An EC50 value of 150 μg/ml for 50% inhibition of byssal thread of Perna viridis and LC50 was found to be 500 μg/ml. The LC50/EC50 ratio of 3.0 indicated nontoxic to nature. The result suggested that pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazine-1,4-dione can be used for antifouling coating |

Developing a Programmable, Self- Assembling Squash leaf Curl China virus (SLCCNV) Capsid Proteins Into “ Nanocargo”- Like Architecture. Raja Muthuramalingam T In ACS Applied Bio Materials , , Nov 2018, Volume: 1, Page: 1741-1757.
Abstract [+]
A new era has begun in which pathogens have become useful scaffolds for nanotechnology applications. In this research/study, an attempt has been made to generate an empty cargo-like architecture from a plant pathogenic virus named Squash leaf curl China virus (SLCCNV). In this approach, SLCCNV coat protein monomers are obtained efficiently by using a yeast Pichia pastoris expression system. Further, dialysis of purified SLCCNV-CP monomers against various pH modified (5–10) disassembly and assembly buffers produced a self-assembled “Nanocargo”-like architecture, which also exhibited an ability to encapsulate magnetic nanoparticles in vitro. Bioinformatics tools were also utilized to predict the possible self-assembly kinetics and bioconjugation sites of coat protein monomers. Significantly, an in vitro biocompatibility study using SLCCNV-Nanocargo particles showed low toxicity to the cells, which eventually proved as a potential nanobiomaterial for biomedical applications. |

Antibacterial macro molecules from marine organisms S Nalini In International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, , Aug 2018, Volume: 115, Page: 696-710.
Abstract [+]
Marine ecosystem comprises of microorganisms, plants, invertebrates and vertebrates which were rich source of diverse antimicrobial products, which were structurally unique belonging to a known class of macromolecules like peptides, terpenes, alkaloids and proteins, etc. Natural macromolecules from marine ecological niches are a promising source of antibacterial agents against several drug resistant strains of pathogenic microorganisms; whereas rest of the metabolites were derived from marine flora and fauna while some arise from microbes associated with living organisms. >30,000 natural macromolecules have been identified and reported from marine organisms, however only few macromolecules are being explored and validated. The discovery of marine antibacterial macromolecules plays a significant part in the field of drug discovery and biomedical research. Despite the fact that literatures were documented on the antifungal, antiviral, antimalarial and anticancer properties, this review exclusively highlights the different antibacterial natural macromolecules from marine sources like bacteria, fungi, sponge, algae, bryozoans, tunicates, corals, cnidarians, arthropods and echinoderm along with their mode of action. |

Nanobiotechnology approach using plant rooting hormone synthesized silver nanoparticle as “nanobullets” for the dynamic applications in horticulture–an in vitro and ex vitro study Raja Muthuramalingam T In Arabian Journal of Chemistry, , Jan 2018, Volume: 11, Page: 48-61.
Abstract [+]
Horticulture is the branch of agriculture that deals with science and technology and business of plant cultivation and it is considered to be the foremost part of the world economy. Even though, one of the major challenges which has seriously influenced the economic loss of horticulture is rooting of cuttings and root growth inhibiting plant pathogens. To address this issue through nanobiotechnology, we ingeniously build a concept of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) as “nano-bullets” can act for a dual mode like root enhancer and pathogen destroyer on the target site. After that, we succeeded in AgNPs synthesis, using two auxin rooting hormones of Indole-3-acetic acid and Indole-3-butyric acid as a reducing cum stabilizing agent. Further, its efficacy of root promoting and pathogen inhibitory action was sufficiently validated through in vitro and ex vitro studies with model plants and plant pathogens. As a result, the action duality of hormone-stabilized AgNPs was manifested to threefold enhanced root growth compared to controls and it increased the rooting capabilities against root growth inhibiting phytopathogens. This feature was also proved by the direct antifungal assay. Moreover, hormone-AgNPs left no toxicity to treated plants which was revealed by RAPD molecular markers. Therefore, with a detailed study and analysis with instruments such as Spectroscopy, TEM, Zetasizer, FTIR, Cyclic Voltammetry, Fluorescence microscopy (nanoparticles uptake), SEM coupled with EDS (bioaccumulation), TGA (grafting density) and PCR (RAPD analysis), this study can unravel the relevance, scope and current challenges at horticulture plants root development and plant disease management for the sustainable agricultural crop production. |

DNA Templated Self-assembly of Gold nanoparticles Cluster in Colorimetric Detection of Plant Viral DNA using Gold Nanoparticles conjugated Bi- functional Oligonucleotide Probe. G.Dharanivasan In RSC Advances, , Jan 2016, Volume: 6, Page: 11773-11785.
Abstract [+]
The DNA templated self-assembly of gold nanoparticles clustered in different configurations (n = 2–∞) was investigated in the colorimetric detection of ToLCNDV DNA using a gold nanoparticle conjugated bifunctional oligonucleotide probe. The AuNP-bifunctional oligonucleotide probe conjugate was prepared using citrate capped AuNPs (∼19 nm) and virus specific ssoligo probes 1 and 2. Each conjugate consisted of ∼105 ssoligo probes 1 and 2, specific for the forward and reverse strands of the PCR amplified ToLCNDV dsDNA target. The intensity of the UV-visible absorbance spectra of AuNP-bifunctional oligonucleotide probes decreased gradually after hybridization with increasing ratios of dsDNA targets (0.0–1.0). Hybridized AuNP-bifunctional oligonucleotide probes showed gradual resistance against salt induced aggregation with increasing concentrations of dsDNA target, up to the ratio of 1.0. The color of solution remained red even after hybridization of the AuNP-bifunctional oligonucleotide probe with the dsDNA target. These hybridized AuNP-bifunctional oligonucleotide probes were found as clusters with different configurations (n = 2–11) and defined interparticle distances (1.3–2.1 nm). This target DNA guided the self-assembly of the AuNP-bifunctional oligonucleotide probes which is the reason for the different optical absorbance properties of hybridized solutions before and after the salt treatment. An exciting finding of this investigation is that the AuNP-bifunctional oligonucleotide probes were anchored on the center core particle, tending to form a AuNP cluster that incorporated from 1–6 Au-NP probes and extended to 8 and 10 with an increasing size of core particle diameter. The assembly of three dimensional DNA templated AuNP clusters in flower and pyramid shapes was possible with a dsDNA target and a AuNP-bifunctional oligonucleotide probe but not with a AuNP-monofunctional oligonucleotide probe. The limit of detection of dsDNA target in this bifunctional nanoprobe assay was ∼7.2 ng. Also, this AuNP-bifunctional oligonucleotide probe could reduce the concentration of target DNA required for colorimetric detection by half, as it could recognise both strands in the dsDNA target simultaneously. The proof of this concept will be used for further development of ultra sensitive nanoassay methods and will also be applicable for materials science applications |

Preparation, characterization and application of antibody-conjugated gold nanoparticles in the purification of begomovirus. D.Michael Immanuel Jesse In RSC Advances, , Nov 2015, Volume: 5, Page: 99820-99831.
Abstract [+]
Begomovirus (family-Geminiviridae) infects a wide range of commercial crops like tomato, bean, cassava, cotton, cucurbits and chilli. Purification of begomoviruses from the infected plants, in particular from vegetable crops remains challenging. The conventional process of begomovirus purification requires sophisticated instruments and moreover, it is time-consuming. Herein, we used antibody-conjugated magnetic nanoparticles (Ab-MNPs) to purify begomoviruses from the infected plants. MNPs were prepared using the co-precipitation method (at pH between 8 and 12 & size 25 nm). The prepared MNPs were functionalized with APTES (at pH 7) and confirmed with FTIR. Thus functionalized MNPs were conjugated with polyclonal antibodies (pAbs) using EDC–NHS chemistry (size = 80 nm). The crude extract prepared from the infected plants was suspended in the solution of Ab-MNPs and separated using a magnet. The captured virus particles were released into the aqueous solution (at pH 10). SDS-PAGE analysis and PCR analysis were done to confirm the presence of viral infection. |

A computational approach to predict the regulation of antioxidant enzyme, catalase in the plant defence mechanism D.Michael Immanuel Jesse In International Journal of Computer Applications, , Dec 2014, Volume: 107, Page: 30-37.
Abstract [+]
Plants defense system protects themselves from pathogens in two ways by preformed mechanisms and through infection-induced responses of the immune system. It is always apparent as a restriction of pathogen growth and spread to a little zone around the infected area. During localized cell death, the visible necrotic lesion evokes up and induces the programmed cell death (apoptosis). Systemic acquired resistance (SAR) will be helpful to the infected plants after a period of 5-7 days. Salicylic acid (SA) is a plant hormone essential for the immunity in plants. SA has been found to involve in the control of microbe/pathogen-associated molecular pattern triggered immunity, effector-triggered immunity and system acquired resistance (SAR). The binding modes and the bonding pattern between salicylic acid and the enzyme catalase is still unknown. In our study, the different binding modes of salicylic acid in different pockets were analyzed. Among the chosen pockets, the best probable binding pocket was identified computationally based on the binding energy, intra-molecular energy, internal energy and inhibition constant between two molecules. |

Diabetic foot ulceration and Wound Healing Dressing materials Manikandan Dhayalan In Indian Journal of Diabetes and Endocrinology, , Jan 2020, Volume: 2, Page: 37-41.
Abstract [+]
Wound dressings signify a part of the organization of diabetic foot ulceration. Preferably, dressings should assuage symptoms, provide wound protection, and persuade healing. No single dressing fulfills all the requirements of a diabetic patient with an infected foot ulcer. Dressing’s research in this area is in general poor. On the other hand, each category of dressings has particular characteristics that aid selection. Non glue dressings are simple, low-cost, and well tolerate. Foam and alginate dressings are highly absorbent and effective for heavily exuding wounds Dressings contain inadine and silver may aid in managing wound infection. Occlusive dressings should be avoided for infected wounds. All dressings require frequent change for wound inspection. Profoundly exudation ulcers require frequent change to reduce maceration of surrounding skin. Dressing alternative should be guided by the characteristics of the ulcer, the requirements of the patient, and costs |

Characterization and Identification of isolated bacteria from ice-ice disease infected seaweed Kappaphycus alvarezii. S.U.Mohammed Riyaz In Indian Journal of Geo-Marine Sciences , , Aug 2019, Volume: 48, Page: 1286-1290.
Abstract [+]
Ice-ice disease occurs in cultivated algal seaweed Kappaphycus alvarezii due to pathogenic bacterial infections. This seaweed has rich source of carrageenan widely known as the kappa carrageenan. Generally, ice-ice disease leads to whitening of the branches initiated with colour changes of the thalli, which become transparent in the end. This study was aimed to isolate and identify the bacteria based on morphology and biochemical characterization on ice-ice diseased K. alvarezii from three different places, namely, Kottapatinam, Thondi and Rameswaram. The bacterium was isolated in Zobell Marine Agar (ZMA) and thiosulfate-citrate-bile saltsucrose (TCBS) agar. Morphological and biochemical characterizations revealed that the isolated bacteria causing ice-ice disease were closely related to the genera Bacillus in ZMA and Vibrio species in TCBS. Total viability count, physical and chemical properties of the bacteria by gram staining and morphological analysis were done for all species isolated from three places |

Antifouling activity of alkaline protease from halotolerant Bacillus sp. isolated from marine source. G.Kavitha In Indian Journal of Geo-Marine Sciences , , Aug 2019, Volume: 48, Page: 1274-1279.
Abstract [+]
In this study, an attempt has been made to explore the antifouling activity of the marine halotolerant bacterium, namely, Bacillus sp. About 10 different bacteria were isolated using the Zobell marine agar medium from the marine sediment samples that were collected from the Marina beach, Bay of Bengal, India. The growth pattern tests of the 10 bacteria were documented. Among the 10 different isolates, two exhibited the protease activity in skim milk agar. The antifouling activity was further tested against five different fouling bacteria. The antifouling activity of alkaline protease isolated from Bacillus sp. inferred that it exhibited pronounced inhibitory zones against fouling bacterial strains with least minimal inhibitory concentration range between 25 and 100 units/mg protein. Anticrustacean assay was performed using Artemia salina of alkaline protease, which showed good activity. The results suggest that Bacillus sp. produced an extracellular alkaline protease, which was responsible for the antifouling and algicidal activity of marine fouling organisms. This study tends to indicate that Bacillus sp. could be further explored for the development of new antifouling agents. |

Gold Nanoparticles: Clinical Applications S.U. Mohammed Riyaz In Engineered Biomaterials: Synthesis and Applications, , Nov 2023.
Abstract [+]
Global Cancer Therapy (GLOBOCAN) estimates that there are around 18 million new cancer cases each year. Various techniques have been used for cancer therapy. Innovation of the nano approach will be signed in to locate one of the chief concerns while using chemotherapy and radiation. Targeting the gold nanoparticle (GNP)-based systems to the tumor can increase local radiation dosage while also enhancing treatment through controlled releases of chemotherapeutics. In the last 20 years, more than 20 medicinal items based on nanotechnology have received clinical use accreditation. This review article's goal is to determine ways to employ GNP-based therapy systems more quickly in clinical settings while still reducing normal tissue toxicity and improving treatment efficacy. Future cancer treatments will be improved by nanomedicines and have fewer adverse effects. Gold nanoparticles that have been altered and have regulated geometrical and optical characteristics have undergone substantial research and are employed in biomedicine. The application of gold nanoparticles in varied sizes, forms, and architectures in biomedicine will be covered in this study's summary of recent advancements and continuing research. The major focus of the paper is how gold nanoparticle conjugates are used in biological diagnostics and analytics. |

Recent advances in biosurfactant as antiadhesion/antibiofilm agents S.U. Mohammed Riyaz In Green Sustainable Process for Chemical and Environmental Engineering and Science, , Mar 2022.
Abstract [+]
Biosurfactants (BSs) are surface-active agents that are produced by various microorganisms and capable of reducing the surface and interfacial tension between different fluid phases. The importance of BS in the field of biomedical has been well-known due to its antimicrobial, antibiofilm (ABF), and antiadhesive (AAD) properties against various pathogenic microorganisms. The prevention of biofilm (BF) formation is the main hurdle in clinical practice and preventive medicine, and therefore new technology has to be developed. The development of BF on medical instruments, insertional implants plays a vital part in the problems of many nosocomial and health-related diseases. BSs have the potentiality of replacing chemical surfactants, due to their eco-friendly nature, biodegradable, low toxicity. BSs have been reported as an encouraging approach as they inhibit microbial adhesion and disrupt BF formation and are therefore highly valuable as a current era of AAD and antimicrobial coatings for medical devices. |

Current progress in the solid-state fermentation and utilization of agroindustrial residues for the production of biologically active secondary metabolites S Nalini In Green Sustainable Process for Chemical and Environmental Engineering and Science, , Jan 2021.
Abstract [+]
In the last few decades, there has been major technology advancement in solid-state fermentation (SSF) process. This chapter discusses about current progress in SSF and usage of agroindustrial waste or residues (AIW) as substrate for the production of biologically active metabolite. The modeling in SSF and types of bioreactor (BR) used in the SSF process is also discussed in this chapter. The progresses in enhancement of solid-state fermentation BR design have attracted the industries for a new process development. The continuous ongoing research in modeling and designing of bioreactor for the solid-state fermentation process is anticipated to lead commercial scale-up. Computational stimulation and mathematical model are important tools for developing the operational condition and control strategies to deal with the heat and mass transfer challenges; the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is used in SSF bioreactors. SSF enhances the cost-effective importance to these AIW or by-products and at the same time resolves the issue of their removal, which may lead to pollution. |

Integrated Pest Management Approaches S.U.Mohammed Riyaz In Geminiviruses, , Jul 2019.
Abstract [+]
Integrated pest management (IPM) is an internationally recognized approach to pest and disease control. IPM embraces diversity, is knowledge intensive, and varies by crop, scale, and geographical location. All farmers practice IPM to some degree, including the cultural control techniques that underpin all good farming practices. In reality, most farming practice is neither IPM nor non-IPM, but can be defined at a point along the so-called IPM continuum from chemically intensive systems to bio-intensive systems. IPM was initially conceptualized to reduce dependence on pesticides and their effects on the environment. It has been built into virus control strategies from the beginning of plant virology because of the known in vivo insensitivity of viruses to chemical agents. Several methodologies are available for implementing IPM for Bemisia tabaci populations: chemical control with selective insecticides, biological control, crop plant resistance, and physical/mechanical methods. Insecticides, by their poisonous nature, are often harmful to natural enemies and therefore are disruptive to overall pest management. However, the more modern materials that are effective for B. tabaci control are relatively specific to the target pests and therefore less harmful to natural enemies and the environment; consequently, they are also more suitable for integrative combination with other methods. Conventional IPM technologies, such as intercropping, will yield mixed results with little, if any, beneficial impact on pest population in crops. This chapter reviews the known measures used for reducing populations of B. tabaci, advocating the view that only a comprehensive approach incorporating IPM programs will offer effective and sustainable strategies for managing whiteflies.

PREVALENCE OF HELMINTH PARASITE OF DOMESTIC CHICKEN (Gallus domesticus) IN DISTRICT KHAIRPUR, SINDH, PAKISTAN ML MOHAMMED KALEEM ARSHAN In Asian Journal of Advances in Medical Science, , Oct 2021.
Abstract [+]
Poultry is an important sub sector of agriculture and has contributed enormously to food production by playing a vital role in the national economy by contributing towards food security of the country reducing pressure on demand for mutton and beef and earning of foreign exchange. Birds in a traditional and open environment carry a huge risk of parasitic infections. A survey was made to determine the prevalence of helminth parasite of Gallus domesticus in district Khairpur. A total of 46 domestic chicken (Gallus domesticus) were randomly collected from different villages of district Khairpur, were examined for the prevalence of helminth parasite. Seven species of helminth parasites identified, out of which four species of cestodes and three species of nematodes. Cestodes comprises Cotugonia dignopora 44 (91.6%) Raillietina tarquata 40 (86.9%), Raillietina tetragona 20 (43.4%) Choanotaenia infundibulum 6 (13%). Among nematodes 33 (71.7%) Ascaridia galli were observed. The results of present study revealed that sub-standard poultry farming is a major factor for parasitic infection in local chicken which ultimately cause heavy loss. |

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF ELECTRIC CURRENT PRODUCTION BY Saccharomyces cerevisiae USING A DUAL CHAMBER MICROBIAL FUEL CELL ML MOHAMMED KALEEM ARSHAN In Asian Journal of Advances in Research, , Sep 2021.
Abstract [+]
Microbial Fuel Cell is a promising tool that utilizes microorganisms as biocatalysts to transform chemical energy into electrical energy. The particular microbe is able to utilize different substrates via metabolic activity resulting in the generation of electric current. The reason for the growing popularity of MFC is due to its multifaceted applications attributed to its eco-friendly nature. Even though the current generation is in milliampere (mA) scale, MFCs have unlimited benefits for future purposes. Fungi are among the microorganisms able to generate electricity as a result of their metabolic processes. The microorganism used in this study is Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker’s yeast). Electrons are diverted from the electron transport chain of this single-celled eukaryote which therefore helps in the conversion of chemical energy into electrical energy. The point of this examination is to measure the amount of electric flow produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae, when using copper electrodes with mediator and sources of a substrate on the production of current. For the reaction to be carried out, Potassium permanganate (KMnO 4) was used as a mediator. The best results (105.3 mA) were obtained from maltose as substrate. Thus, here we describe the main findings, which can be used as the starting point for future investigations. We show that fungi have the potential to act as electrogens. |

Biological identification of Eudistoma species (Polycitoridae: Ascidiacea) from Gulf of Mannar, India through COI gene sequences ML MOHAMMED KALEEM ARSHAN In Gene Reports, , Sep 2021.
Abstract [+]
Members of the family Polycitoridae (subphylum Tunicata, class Ascidiacea) including the most diverse species of Eudistoma are one among the potential sources of bioactive compounds. Due to the production of several alkaloids including eudistomins, exhibiting significant biological activity, they occupy a key position among ascidians. However, identification of this genus via morphology usually is difficult and complex for a non-specialist to perform due to apparent lack of internal morphological variations in the zooids. DNA barcodes or the partial sequences of the cytochrome c oxidase I (CO1) gene were used to confirm the identity of Eudistoma species and also to infer phylogeny among them. In this study, the efficiency of mt gene, CO1, in delineating closely resembling species belong to the genus Eudistoma has been examined. A total of thirty six new CO1 sequences from 39 samples of Eudistoma species found in Mandapam coast, Gulf of Mannar were generated from this study. They represent eight species including one new species. Only 25% of our sequences had matches in GenBank. Thus, this study adds the number of CO1 gene sequences of these Eudistoma species and genetic divergence in both GenBank and BOLD database. The mean interspecific divergence (13.4%) is larger than the mean intraspecific divergence of 0.56% indicating the efficiency of DNA barcoding method to identify the Eudistoma species and could be used to manage this resource for pharmacological study in India in the future. |

INVESTIGATION ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF PROBIOTIC MICROBIOTA ON CANCER ML MOHAMMED KALEEM ARSHAN In Asian Journal of Advances in Medical Science, , May 2021.
Abstract [+]
Cancer is the one of the deadly menace diseases with high medical significance which remains one of the keys that causes ailments and death, the security and firmness of the typical chemotherapeutics drugs and artificial agents used to accomplish cancer are doubtful now a days. These mediators affect the quality of life or sometimes they causative for progress of drug resistance and are not judicious to the majority of the patients So the clinical management of the cancer with high efficiency can done with the probiotic microbiota. An imbalance in the gut microbiota promotes the progress of carcinogenesis through several mechanisms, including inflammation, initiation of carcinogens, and tumorigenic pathways as well. In vivo and molecular studies have exhibited the support to role of probiotics in cancer. Probiotic agents are live microbes or components of microbes that have a positive effect on the host. They exert their action through interaction with the immune system of the host. Some of this effect is localized and some is in improvement in total body system. The Probiotic bacteria are the live microorganisms that, when directed in acceptable amounts, deliberate a healthy benefit on the host, and they have been considered for their protective anti-tumour effects. This review emphases on the role of probiotic microbiota as substitute for the prevention and treatment of cancer in the relation between gut microbiota and the progress of cancer. |

PHYTOCHEMICAL SCREENING AND ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY OF DIFFERENT SOLVENT EXTRACTS FROM Annona squamosa Linn. LEAVES ML MOHAMMED KALEEM ARSHAN In Asian Journal of Advances in Research, , Jul 2020, Volume: 4(1), Page: 35-40.
Abstract [+]
Plants are the chief source of natural compounds used for medicine, in which medicinal plants have attracted considerable interest and most attention for their wide variety of bioactive metabolites. Numerous studies have been carried out to screen extracts from medicinal plants for the presence of novel compounds and an investigation of their biological activities. Annona squamosa Linn. has extensively been used in the traditional and folkloric medicine and found to possess many biological activities. This study was carried out to evaluate the phytochemical screening and antioxidant activities of acetone, chloroform, hexane, methanol, Petroleum ether and aqueous extracts of Annona squamosa Linn. leaves. The antioxidant properties were determined by scavenging 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH) method. Results of phytochemical analysis of extracts showed the presence of glycosides, saponins, tannins, flavonoids, phenols, etc. In-vitro antioxidant activities clearly suggest that methanol extract has higher antioxidant activity than the other extract due to a higher presence of phenolic and flavonodal constituents in the methanol extract. These experimental findings would further establish the scientific basis of the traditional uses of the plant in the management of different conditions as well as control of different disease. |

ANTIFUNGAL POTENTIAL OF PLANTS EXTRACT AGAINST THE FUNGAL PATHOGENS IN CUCUMBER AND BITTER GOURD (CUCURBITACEAE) REENU MISHRA In Asian Journal of Advances in Research, , Jul 2020, Volume: 4(1), Page: 25-28.
Abstract [+]
The fungicidal activity of five aqueous plant extracts from Azadiracta indica, Eichhornia crassipes, Calatropis procera, Parthinium hysterophorous and Lanta camara was assessed for their antifungal efficacy on the phytopathogenic fungi of Cucumis sativus (Cucumber) and Monardica charantia (Bitter Gourd), Corynespora cassiicola and Cercospera citrullina, causative agents of these plants. Three of the five plant extracts were effective against these phytopathogenic fungi. Parthinium hysterophorous, Azadiracta indica and Calatropis procera, extracts were highly active and showed fungicidal activities against phytopathogenic fungi with a minimum concentration (100%). In contrast, Lanta camara extract showed moderate antifungal activity, while Eichhornia crassipes was not effective against phytopathogenic fungi. Therefore the present study was aimed to investigate the fungicidal properties of medicinal plants. These effective plant extracts can contribute to the development of potentially effective and environmentally safe alternative fungicides to control the damping of phytopathogenic fungi in cucumber and bitter gourd. |

Abstract [+]
Recent advancements in nanotechnology based compounds have opened a new horizon for combating multi drug resistance in microorganisms. In particular, the use of silver nanoparticles as a potent for antibacterial agent has focused much attention. Silver nanoparticles exhibit their antimicrobial abilities through multifaceted mechanisms. Silver nanoparticles adhesive to microbial cells, penetration inside the cells, and modulation of the microbial signal transduction pathways have been recognized as the most empirical mode of antimicrobial action. Therefore, an attempt was made to produce silver nanoparticles having physicochemical properties. Thus, eco-friendly, non-toxic silver nanoparticles were green synthesized using the leaf extract of Lumnitzera racemosa and its phytochemical screening & antibacterial activity were carried out against clinical pathogens. The synthesis of silver nanoparticles was confirmed by a change in extract color from dark green to brown and surface Plasmon resonance spectra obtained at the range of approximately 537 nm. The antibacterial activity of the green synthesized silver nanoparticles against bacterial strains such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Klebsiella pneumoniae using well diffusion method. The results of antimicrobial activity by the well diffusion assay also clearly expressed that test extract have high concentration of active principles. The aqueous leaf extract of Lumnitzera racemosa shows the presence of phytochemical compounds such as alkaloids, flavonoids, glycosides, phenols, saponins, tannins and terpenoids. |

Abstract [+]
The green synthesis of nano-sized particles with specific functions is of great significance in the present bionanotechnology. In this study, the biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles from the aqueous leaf extract of Rhizophora stylosa, mangrove plant from southern India, and its activity against some bacterial pathogens are reported for the first time. A green procedure for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles using the mangrove extract as reducing agent was used. Synthesized silver nanoparticles were investigated using UV–visible spectrophotometry, Scanning electron microscope, Transmission electron microscope, X-ray diffraction, Selected area electron diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The biosynthesized silver nanoparticles were characterized by UV–visible spectrophotometry at a wavelength of 422 nm confirmed the synthesis of silver nanoparticles. The results from the X-ray diffraction analysis approved the formation of crystalline silver nanoparticles with crystallinity percentage of 85.87. As shown by Transmission electron microscope evaluation, silver nanoparticles had the same spherical morphology. The size of the biosynthesized silver nanoparticles was between 1 and 75 nm with average size of 38.62 nm. Scanning electron microscope images identified silver nanoparticles ranging in size from 18 to 42 nm. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis distinguished different functional groups such as aromatic loops, alcohol, phenol group, alkanes and alkyl halides in the biosynthesis process. Green biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles using aqueous extract of mangrove R. stylosa appears rapid, reliable, nontoxic, and eco-friendly. |

EXPLORATION OF ASCIDIANS FROM THE UNTAPPED COASTAL AREA, THARUVAIKULAM, SOUTHEAST COAST OF INDIA ML Mohammed Kaleem Arshan In International Journal of Science and Humanities, , Dec 2018, Volume: 4(2), Page: 7-20.
Abstract [+]
spite growing concerns about the spread and impact of non-indigenous ascidians, many ascidian communities are poorly known and many coastal areas in India are untapped. Ascidians, by virtue of their seasonal breeding and invasiveness, need continuous monitoring for their occurrence and distribution. A field study was conducted during 20172018 at Tharuvaikulam coast for the first time in India to record the occurrence of ascidians. The study revealed the occurrence of 18 species of ascidians belonging to 7 genera and 6 families. All these 18 species were new to this station. The most abundant colonial species were Polyclinum fungosum, P. nudum, P. tenuatum and Ecteinascidia venui. Only one solitary ascidian, Microcosmus exasperates, was reported in this station for the first time. Maximum representation was from the family Polyclinidae (8) followed by Didemnidae (4). As this preliminary survey recorded all the 18 ascidians as new to this station, a detailed and continuous sampling along with seasonal availability, succession at different depths etc., is sure to yield a rich diversity of ascidians in future. |

Identification of four Indian ascidians based on COI gene sequences H Abdul Jaffarali In Mitochondrial DNA A DNA Mapp Seq Anal ., , Oct 2018, Volume: 29(1), Page: 14-18.
Abstract [+]
DNA barcoding involving the sequencing of a short mitochondrial DNA segment, cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (COI) gene, is a specialized technique for the identification of species even at the early embryonic and larval stages, which is quite difficult in morphology-based taxonomy. Ascidians are sessile invertebrate chordates possessing numerous biochemical as well as pharmacological activities. In this study, a total of 36 ascidian samples belonging to the family Didemnidae were sequenced for a 650 bp region of the mitochondrial COI gene. All the species were represented by multiple specimens. The barcode sequences showed no stop-codons and indels in the alignments. The aligned sequences were submitted in Barcode submission tool, NCBI, and the accession numbers were obtained. The minimum intraspecific distance was found to be 0.00% and the maximum was 2.23%. Mean Kimura 2-parameter (K2P) distances within-species, genus, and family were 0.88, 5.98, and 20.03%, respectively. The mean interspecific distance is more than the mean intraspecific divergence, which indicates efficiency of DNA barcoding for identification of ascidians. |

Comparative study on DNA extraction methods for PCR amplification of COI gene from ascidians of Indian coast B Kaleemullah Khan In International Journal of Zoology Studies, , Mar 2018, Volume: 3(2), Page: 132-134.
Abstract [+]
Ascidians (Tunicates/Urochordates) are excellent animal models for developmental, evolutionary and molecular biology studies. Isolation of DNA is the basic phase for most of the molecular biology studies including DNA barcoding. So far there is no definite method for the isolation of DNA from ascidians. In an effort to overwhelm this problem, three different methods such as Phenol-Chloroform, Salting out and Kit method were evaluated for DNA extraction. Results showed that among the three methods, kit method, after few modifications, yielded sufficient quantity and quality of DNA. The yield of DNA between the samples and methods was significant (P<0.005). This method is more pronounced for the PCR amplification of COI gene with tunicate primer. |

Abstract [+]
An investigation on the ascidian fauna in Mandapam coast, Gulf of Mannar, India was carried out to update the diversity and new record of ascidians. Out of 38 species of ascidians belonging to 14 genera and 7 families recorded, Rhodosoma turcicum, Symplegma brakenhielmi, Microcosmus helleri, M. squamiger, Eudistoma amplum, Polyclinum madrasensis, Didemnum perlucidum, Diplosoma gelatinosa, and Lissoclinum patella were new to this station and two species of Polyclinum were new to science. Three species such as Polyandrocarpa zorritensis, Diplosoma gelatinosa and D. translucidum were first time report to India. The number of species was high in pre-monsoon, followed by summer, post-monsoon and monsoon seasons. This study represents a first step in documenting the ascidian communities in Mandapam coast and provides a baseline of local diversity of ascidians against which it will be possible to determine whether the diversity of ascidians change over time. Similar studies with detailed taxonomic investigations in other parts of North east coast of India would yield rich haul of ascidians in Indian coast. |

DNA barcoding and phylogenetic analysis of five ascidians (Phlebobranchia) distributed in Gulf of Mannar, India Soban Akram In Mitochondrial DNA Part A, , May 2017, Volume: 29(4), Page: 581-586.
Abstract [+]
DNA barcoding has played a significant role in biodiversity assessment as well as its conservation. This technique involves sequencing of mitochondrial marker gene including a short COI gene, known as barcode gene. It has proved its efficiency in identifying several species and resolving the limitations incurred during identification through conventional taxonomy. This study involves the use of DNA barcoding of ascidian species belonging to order Phlebobranchia. A total of 14 individuals, covering two families, three genera and five species, were barcoded. COI gene sequences of all the five species were deposited for the first time in NCBI as well as BOLD. The NJ tree revealed identical phylogenetic relationship among the individuals collected from three different stations. Mean Kimura 2-parameter (K2P) distances within-species, genus, family and order were 0.08%, 6.69%, 9.49% and 18.58%, respectively. This result concludes that COI gene sequencing is the efficient tool in identifying ascidians of the order Phlebobranchia. We report for the first time the COI gene sequences of four species of ascidians studied. |

Distribution and invasiveness of a colonial ascidian, Didemnum psammathodes, along the southern Indian coastal water H. Abdul Jaffar In Oceanologia, , Sep 2016, Volume: 58(3), Page: 212-220.
Abstract [+]
Ascidians are well known worldwide for their rapid invasions and also for the presence of potential biomedical molecules. Members of the family Didemnidae are widely distributed in tropical waters and they are reported to be among the families possessing rich bioactive compounds. Didemnum psammathodes has a cosmopolitan distribution in tropical waters. The growing evidence of multifarious potential and ever increasing invasion of this species accentuated the need for additional research into its diversity and distribution for sustainable utilization and conservation. The present study was intended to focus on distribution and invasiveness of colonial ascidian, D. psammathodes, along the southern Indian peninsular waters. The present data are based on our own observations made during 2012–2014 period and also on the published and unpublished records of the last 20 years. Out of 45 stations surveyed, D. psammathodes was encountered at a maximum of 41 stations and was found to be more abundant in Hare Island (n = 42), North Break Water (n = 38) and Vizhinjam bay (n = 32). This species was absent at four different stations. Catch per unit effort was higher (19.6) in Hare Island followed by NBW (16.0) and Vizhinjam bay (6.8). The highest number of colonies (136) was observed in calcareous stones, followed by embedded rocks (54) and molluscan shells (33). Hydrographical parameters showed no significant differences between the stations (p < 0.005). It is concluded that D. psammathodes has the potential to invade most of the stations and its distribution was not influenced by hydrographical parameters rather than substrates. |

DNA barcoding of a colonial ascidian, Lissoclinum fragile (Van Name, 1902) Jaffarali H. Abdul In Mitochondrial DNA Part A , , May 2016, Volume: 28(6), Page: 810-813.
Abstract [+]
Ascidians (tunicates) are marine benthic organisms possessing various pharmacological activities, including anti-oxidant, anti-tumour, antimicrobial, etc. They also play a key role as model organisms to study various neurobehavioral disorders. Ascidian diversity is reportedly less in India due to lack of taxonomists as well as the limitations in morphology based taxonomy. Molecular taxonomy, comprising the sequencing of cytochrome c oxidase 1 gene (barcode region) otherwise known as DNA barcoding reduces these bottlenecks. Since several species of the family Didemnidae closely resemble in morphology, the present study was aimed to develop DNA barcodes of a colonial ascidian, Lissoclinum fragile belonging to the family Didemnidae. CO1 gene of L. fragile from Thoothukudi, Mandapam, and Vizhinjam waters were sequenced and submitted in GenBank, NCBI through Barcode submission tool. BLAST results showed maximum identity (97–100%) for L. fragile collected from different stations. The pairwise genetic distances within species and genera were calculated using Kimura two parameter (K2P) and the phylogenetic tree was constructed using Neighbour-Joining Tree. |

Abstract [+]
Ascidians play a key role in the ecology and biodiversity of marine ecosystem. Ascidians can be transported in ship ballast water and while attached to ship and boat hulls. Heavy traffic by domestic and international ships as well as cargo vessels between the major and minor ports warrants continuous monitoring for new introductions of ascidians. The Mandapam coast is situated in the Gulf of Mannar, India, a marine hot spot area in the Indian Ocean which provides an environment suitable for the settlement of ascidians. |

Molecular Based Identification of Colonial Ascidians of Mandapam Coast, India through Sequencing mt-DNA H Abdul Jaffar Ali In International Journal of Science and Humanities, , Dec 2015, Volume: 1(2), Page: 895-908.
Abstract [+]
Accurate and unambiguous identification of marine animals, from eggs to adult, is important for conservation of biodiversity. Conventional morphological identification of species has many limitations particularly in larval and egg stages. This can be addressed through various protein and DNA based methods of genetic identification. Ascidians are sessile and filter-feeding marine animals and are known for several pharmacologically important metabolites. Species identification of ascidians is possible by observing various morphological and anatomical features in various stages of life span. However this method is labour intensive, time consuming and very difficult for non-specialists particularly when dealing with field collections. This study is aimed to identify morphologically similar colonial ascidians collected from Mandapam coast through molecular technique i.e. DNA barcoding. For the present study, the whole genomic DNA of both species 1 and 2 was isolated using Qiagen kit and the cytochrome c oxidase sub unit 1 gene (CO1) of each species was amplified with Universal Primers. Forward and reverse sequences of Species 1 contains 910 and 589 bp respectively whereas Species 2 contains 708 and 629 bp respectively. BLASTn result of both forward and reverse sequences of the Species 1 showed 99 and 98% identity with the species Didemnum perlucidum (JQ731735.1 and JQ731740.1). Similarly BLASTn result of the Species 2 showed 99 and 98% identity with the species Lissoclinum fragile (KJ725150.1, KM411612.1 and KM411611.1). This result confirmed the identification of species 1 as Didemnum perlucidum and species 2 as Lissoclinum fragile. This study clearly shows that CO1 gene sequence will help the identification of ascidians through DNA barcoding. |

Abstract [+]
Ascidians belonging to the sub-phylum Uro-chordata are used as potential model organisms in various parts of the world for biosorption of metals. The sedentary nature, filter feeding habits, presence of vanadocytes and the absence of kidneys cause them to accumulate metals. The present study was aimed to compare biosorption of metals such as cadmium, copper, lead, mercury and vanadium in test and mantle body of solitary ascidian Phallusia nigra between two ecologically significant stations such as Thoothukudi (Station 1) and Vizhinjam (Station 2) ports of India. Monthly samplings of water and P. nigra were done for a period of one year from September 2010 to August 2011 and subjected to analysis of metal accumulation. The average metal concentrations except mercury in the Thoothukudi water were found to be higher of comparable magnitudes than the Vizhinjam water. One-way ANOVA showed significant differences between the stations. A comparison of average metal concentrations in the test and mantle body of P. nigra between two stations showed that the enrichment of V, Cd, Pb, Cu and Hg in the Thoothukudi samples may be due to high bioaccumulation factors of these elements as compared to other species of ascidians. The bioaccumulation factors were in the order of V>Pb>Cd>Cu> Hg for the test and mantle body in stations 1 and 2. Application of one-way ANOVA for the concentration of these metals between test and mantle body showed significant differences in both stations. Similarly, ANOVA for biosorption of these trace metals by P. nigra showed significant difference between stations. Metal concentrations recorded in this ascidian could effectively be used as good reference material for monitoring metal contamination in Indian sea waters. |

Occurrence of Alien Ascidians in VO Chidambaranar Port, Thoothukudi A Soban Akram In International Journal of Science and Humanities, , Feb 2015, Volume: 1(1), Page: 209-216.
Abstract [+]
There is growing awareness that many marine sessile organisms are highly invasive and can spread rapidly to new habitats through ballast water and hull of ships. There are 12 major ports and numerous minor ports along the 7,500 km long Indian coastline, which may act as gateway for marine bio-invasion. V.O. Chidambaranar port, formerly Thoothukudi port, is one among the 12 major ports in India with regular services to United States, Europe, China, Red sea port and Mediterranean countries and may facilitate bioinvasion. Ascidians belonging to the Class Ascidiacea of sub-Phylum Tunicata are abundant in many ports around the world and most of them are non-indigenous. They are one of the key ecological groups because of their invasive potentials. The distribution and impact of invasive ascidians in India are less well documented and hence the present study was aimed to document the invasive ascidians in V.O.C. port. Out of 23 species of ascidians reported in the present study, 19 ascidians have been believed to be alien species, with mostly from Australian origin. Seven ascidians are found as established invasive. Their arrival has been mainly due to shipping and ballast waters and some that have arrived recently may have significant future impact. Presence of large number of invasive ascidians in this harbour reinforces the need for continued and periodic monitoring of population expansion of these species and also for establishment of control programme. Utilization of non - indigenous ascidians for the betterment of humankind may be considered one of management strategies of non - indigenous species. |
