ABSTRACT: Silver nanoparticles are nanoparticles of silver which are in the range of 1 and 100 nm in size. Silver nanoparticles have unique properties which help in molecular diagnostics‚ in therapies‚ as well as in devices that are used in several medical procedures. The major methods used for silver nanoparticle synthesis are the physical and chemical methods. The problem with the chemical and physical methods is that the synthesis is expensive and can also have toxic substances absorbed onto

public demand on the vegetables increase. For example‚ carrot‚ tomato and chilli are most demand among Malaysian adult. However‚ vegetables are susceptible to the microbial infection due to its pH that closer to the neutral pH. Generally‚ Alternaria‚ Fusarium‚ Penicillium‚ Aspergillus‚ Geotrichum and Botrytis are common post-harvest fungi for vegetables (Splittstoesser‚ 1987; Adaskaveg et al.‚ 2002). These fungi can get into the vegetables through surface injuries either mechanical‚ chemicals or physiological

Hypothesis Statement Trees that exhibit gumming are more resistant to fusarium dieback caused by the polyphagous shot hole borer (PSHB) because the gum secreted acts as a defense against beetles that attempt to penetrate the bark‚ and as a result grant the tree faux resistance to the Fusarium euwallaceae fungi. Introduction Californian agriculture is at great risk because of a disease being spread by the Polyphagous Shot Hole Borer (PSHB)‚ Euwallacea sp. The PSHB is an ambrosia beetle

Identification and Impact of Airborne Fungi over the Sydney Basin Introduction The need to identify and monitor airborne fungi is vital to the health of humans. Fungal spores may trigger allergic responses in sensitised people‚ causing respiratory diseases such as hayfever and asthma (Knox‚ Ladiges‚ Evans and Saints 2006). A variety of techniques can be used to identify the diversity and density of fungi within the Sydney Basin. The use of agar plate exposure allows microbial colonies to

chitinase enzyme of Paenibacillus elgii TS33 showed 163U/ml of chitinolytic activity. Antifungal Activity of Paenibacillus elgii TS33 The antifungal activity was performed against Fusarium solani‚ Aspergillus parasiticus and Aspergillus fumigates in which Paenibacillus elgii TS33 showed the maximum zone of inhibition against Fusarium solani which was 17mm followed by Aspergillus parasiticus (15mm) and Aspergillus fumigates (14mm) respectively. DISCUSSION Chitinases play an imperative role in the breakdown
