Abstract:
Botryococcus braunii is a green colonial microalgae commonly found in fresh water, lakes and ponds. Due to its high lipid and hydrocarbon content, it is widely recommended for biodiesel production. The present study deals with the growth, lipid content, and fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) of Botryococcus braunii AP102 grown at different concentration of sodium alginate viz. 4mg, 8mg, 12mg, 16mg, and 20mg amended with Chu-13 medium and compared with control in order to find out the efficacy of sodium alginate in the growth and lipid production of B. braunii. The maximum growth and lipid production was obtained at 16mg concentration and it is most effective when compared to control. Thus sodium alginate helps greatly in promoting the growth of B.braunii for biodiesel production.
Key Words: Botryococcus braunii; Fatty acid; Lipid; Mass cultivation; Sodium alginate.

Abstract:
Cornelian cherry fruit has been used in Chinese herbal medicine and is known for its tonic, analgesic and diuretic activities. Its extracts are also used in Europe for cosmetic determinations, replacing synthetic astringent substances, and are claimed to exert a favourable action on the human complexion. Cornus officinalis, C. mas, C. kousa (Cornaceae), and C. controversa bear edible fruits that are consumed in some parts of Asia and Europe. The anthocyanins (ANTs) present in Cornelian cherry, C. mas, are cyaniding 3-O-beta-galactopyranoside, delphinidin 3-O-beta-galactopyranoside, and pelargonidin 3-O-beta-galactopyranoside. C. mas is a medical plant from Cornaceae family which contains flavonoids and is high in antioxidants with anti-inflammatory activities. Fresh cornelian cherry (Cornus mas L.) fruits encompass twice as much ascorbic acid (vitamin C) as oranges.
Key words: Pharmacological effects; Cornus mas; Anthocyanins; Ursolic acid.

Abstract:
The behavior of uncooperative child must be altered and controlled so as to practice successful dentistry, which depends not only upon the dentist’s technical skills but also upon his ability to acquire and maintain a child’s cooperation. Most children can cope with a dental visit and will demonstrate behavior that is commensurate with their age and level of emotional maturity. Other children respond to the dental visit by resorting to uncooperative or disruptive behavior. There are many factors which influence a child’s attitude toward dentistry and his behavior in the dental environment. Anxiety, attitude, physiologic responses and distinctive types of cry are common responses of children to dentistry. This paper elaborate variables that influence child’s reaction to various dental situations like first dental visit, local anesthesia application, exodontia procedure.
Key words: Anxiety; Attitude; Child’s first dental visit; Dental fear.

Abstract:
Aim: L-asparaginase is an enzyme of great therapeutic value and is used worldwide. Citrus limon is used for this purpose as it is a potential source of L-asparaginase. This work has been carried out to develop plant asparaginase based asparagine biosensor for leukemia. It is a novel and diagnostic biosensor for monitoring asparagine levels in leukemic patients.
Methods: Various immobilization strategies have been applied to fabricate the biosensor and improve the stability of L-asparaginase. Phenol red indicator has been coimmobilized with asparaginase from Citrus limon and color visualization approach has been optimized for varying concentrations of asparagine.
Results and conclusion: The detection limit of asparagine achieved with different immobilization techniques such as agar method, agarose method and gelatin method is 10-1 –10-10M. Immobilization with agar method is found to be more effective due to faster response time. Furthermore these immobilization techniques have been applied for the detection of asparagine in normal and leukemia serum samples.
Key Words: Biosensor; Immobilized; L-asparaginase; Leukemia.

Abstract:
Antimicrobial actions of ox bile were tested on pathogenic bacterial isolatess under aseptic conditions using standard methods. These included Staphylococcus albus, Proteus spp., Bacillus Gram +ve spp, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella spp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis, Escherichia vulneris, Bacillus subtilis (Chemotherapeutic sensitive), Staphylococcus saprophyticus; Enterobacter spp.; Micrococcus variant; Staphylococcus albus yellow-pigment contaminant; Staphylococcus epidermidis.
Whole ox bile was bacteristatic to all the microorganisms. At the concentration of 33% ox bile was bacteristatic to Coryrebacterium pseudtuberculosis, Micrococcus variant, Staphylococcus albus, and Staphylococcus saprophyticus.
At the concentration of 33% ox bile partially inhibited the growth of Micrococcus luteus, Bacillus subtilis, Enterobacter spp, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus albus, Proteus spp., Bacillus spp., Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella spp., Pseudomonas spp, Corynebacterium spp. Escherichia vulneris and Bacillus subtilis were not sensitive to 33% of ox bile.
Key Words: MIC; Ox bile; bactericidal.
