Published: December 2020

Bacillus cereus is a ubiquitous foodborne pathogen, can cause food poisoning, leading to infections, have two major types of food poisoning emetic and diarrheal. Foods rich in protein such as meat are associated with foodborne outbreaks of diarrhea caused by B. cereus. The aim of this study is to isolate and identify B. cereus from ready to eat (RTE) meat curry from restaurants in Malaysia and to detect hblD pathogenic gene of B. cereus isolates. Mannitol egg yolk polymyxin agar was used as a selective isolation medium. Commercially available kits and boiling methods were used for DNA extraction, samples acquired from restaurants were examined for the presence of Hemolysin BL gene by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Among all isolates, twenty-four of B. cereus isolates detected for HBL enterotoxin production by the discontinuous pattern on HBL sheep blood agar then confirmed by biochemical tests. More than 58.33 % of the isolate showed discontinuous hemolysis pattern on HBl blood agar and 29.16% of the samples were shown positive for hblD gene that can cause diarrhea with the size of 807bp on gel. This study demonstrated that RTE meat curry was a potential source for entero-toxigenic B. cereus and the presence of the hblD toxin genes for the HBL complex in the isolates tested were highly associated. Therefore, these meat curry isolates should be regarded as potential toxin producers.

Published: December 2020

Fungal endophytes are a special group of symbionts that invade the internal environment of the host organism without causing any pathogenic symptoms. They increase the vigor of the plant while protecting them from several biotic and abiotic stress conditions such as herbivory, disease, and drought. In this study, endophytic fungi were isolated from fig (Ficus carica), a beneficial plant belongs to the family of Moraceae. This study was conducted to determine the potential of fungal endophytes of F.carica as biocontrol agents against selected phytopathogens Ganoderma boninense, Magnaporthe oryzae, and Fusarium verticillioides. Besides, endophytic fungi isolates were also screened to assess their ability as a phosphate-solubilizing agent. Results obtained revealed that a total of 11 fungal endophytes was successfully isolated from leaf, root, and stem samples of F.carica. The cultural-morphological identifications were carried out on the unknown fungal isolates. For the antagonistic test, S2-1 and R3-4 show a promising potential against those phytopathogens with more than 20% Percentage Inhibition Radial Growth (PIRG). Endophyte S2-1 exhibits the competition mechanism, while R3-4 expresses the antibiosis mechanism in suppressing the mycelium growth of phytopathogens. As for phosphate solubilization, 8 of 10 isolates show positive results as phosphate solubilizer with the highest PSI value 3.02±0.05 (S2-4).

Authors: El-Shafey Nadia Mohamed , Al-Sherif Emad
Published: December 2020

Legumes are a key player in sustainable agriculture. They are a potential tool as forage for reclamation of saline soils. However, still there is a need to balance between tolerance of the forage during different developmental stages and its productivity. The present work aimed to study salinity tolerance of four wild Medicago species, as an initial step to select new species that can be grown in salt-affected soils or used as wild relatives to improve alfalfa. Seeds of M. polymorpha, M. intertexta, M. truncatula and M. lupulina, collected from different natural habitats, as well as alfalfa were germinated under different salinity levels to evaluate germination percentage and germination speed. Generally, seeds of M. truncatula collected from desert habitat showed the highest mean germination percentage followed by alfaalfa, while seeds of M. intertexta collected from salt-affected habitat exhibited the highest mean germination speed, followed by M. lupulina. Under severe salt stress, M. intertexta exhibited the highest aerial biomass index, followed by M. truncatula and M. lupulina, while M. polymorpha and alfalfa came as inferiors. Mineral contents and ion leakage of the studied species were determined and discussed. M. intertexta, M. truncatula and M. lupulina, collected from stressful habitats, tended to maintain osmotic and ionic homeostasis by relying on accumulation of the less energetic cost ions (Na+) in roots and sugars and K+ in shoots scoring the highest aerial biomass and tolerance index, orderly. Therefore, the results recommend cultivating these species in salt-affected lands or using them as wild relatives to improve alfalfa.

Published: December 2020

Allah S.W.T swears by the fig tree (Sura’ 95, al-Tin) in the holy Quran, for its values and practices. Recently, the fig tree (Ficus carica L.) has been introduced in Malaysia’s tropical weather as it grows well with maximum activity. Its root favors a well-drained type of soil, and since BRIS (Beach Ridges Interspersed with Swales) are dominated by sandy texture with proper water percolation, it has a high potential for fig planting. However, BRIS is known to have low nutrient holding capacity but can be improved with organic amendments. This study was carried out to determine the effects of various rates of chicken manure as amendments in improving the BRIS soil health for the growth of fig trees. The BRIS soil was amended with different rates of 10% (T2), 20% (T3), 30% (T4), and 50% (T5) of chicken manure and 0% (T1) as control. Three months old saplings were propagated through hardwood cuttings of variety BTM6 with five replications in each treatment. The growth response and nutrients quality of the fig trees were observed biweekly for three months after the transplant, and the nutrient contents of amended and non-amended showed significant differences at p<0.05. The survivability of the trees was 100%, and a significant difference was found between the treatments. BRIS soil with 40% chicken manure amendments (T4) showed superlative growth response with the highest number of branches, leaves, and fruits, thus provide higher yield production as compared to other treatments. From this study, BRIS soil that is known to be problematic can be improved with correct rates of organic amendments and can be used for fig cultivation.

Published: December 2020

This study involved the development of Fenton- like reagents (Mn2+/H2O2 and Cr2+/H2O2) for the degradation of phthalates esters – dimethyl phthalates (DMP), diethyl phthalates (DEP) and diphenyl phthalate (DPP). The degradation efficiency of phthalate esters (initial concentration of 20 mgL-1) by the newly developed reagents was conducted at different time intervals, the pH was adjusted to 3.0, the reaction mixtures were extracted and analysed by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). The H2O2 concentration was set at 100 mgL-1, and 10 mgL-1 for both Mn2+ and Cr3+. The results showed that the reagent, Mn2+/H2O2 degraded DMP completely within 20 minutes of the experiment, while 3.0 mgL-1 of DEP and 4.88 mgL-1 of DPP remained. At 30 minutes, DEP was found to be completely degraded with 4.84 mgL-1 of DPP remaining. In the same vein, the second reagent (Cr2+/H2O2) recorded 100 % efficiency on DMP within 20 minutes while that of DEP did not reach 100 % efficiency until 60 minutes. In this case, the reaction time of 20 mgL-1 DMP and DEP with this reagent is 20 minutes and 60 minutes respectively. Furthermore, it could be deduced that 30minutes is sufficient for complete degradation of 20 mgL-1 DMP and 20 mgL-1 DEP with Mn2+/H2O2 reagent while the degradation of 20 mgL-1 DPP took 60 minutes. For Cr3+/H2O2 reagent, the reaction time for the complete degradation of DMP and DEP was 30 and 60 minutes respectively. These newly developed reagents Mn2+/H2O2 and Cr2+/H2O2 are very effective and efficient for the degradation of phthalate esters thus, recommended for the degradation of liquid wastes containing these hazardous compounds.

For thousands of years plants have been an essential medicinal source with qualities. Empty fruit bunches (EFB) have medicinal values. Ten grams of powdered sample was extracted with 50 mL ethanol overnight and filtered through ash less filter paper, this plant’s ethanol extract has been analyzed using Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS), while the compound mass spectra contained in the extract has been matched with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) library. The GC-MS analysis provided different peaks determining the presence of eight different phytochemical compounds namely10-Undecenoic acid, Propanoic acid, Cyclopentane acetic acid hydrazide,1,4-Cyclohexanedicarbonitrile.The compounds were identified by comparing their retention time and peak area with literature and by interpreting the mass spectra. Many of them have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antifungal, antitumor, antiviral, anticonvulsant, analgesic and antidiabetic properties.

Published: December 2020

Recent technology use simulation to predict the amount and total crop production and yield in a particular piece of land. Crop yield is termed as the growth of crop per unit area. This study calculates the crop yield for 20 years and uses simulation to produce 18 years of crop yields at different locations in Nasarawa Local Government Area of Nasarawa State Nigeria. the study applies the use of time series analysis of both Linear, quadratic and growth curve models to ascertain the crop yield. The result indicates that there is a high amount of rainfall in the preceding year from 2020 -2038 with a rainfall trend of more than 2200mm- 2300mm per annum. The crop yield simulation shows a higher growth curve with a bumper harvest in the next years to come.

Published: December 2020

Actinomycetes are prolific secondary metabolites producer, and they are sought after for their unparalleled capability. Mangrove forests are among the underexplored locations in search of new resources of actinomycetes. Bioprospecting of actinomycetes in Kuantan mangrove forests has revealed highly diverse actinomycetes with high antimicrobial properties. Members of the rare genera successfully isolated include Micromonospora sp., Pseudonocardia sp., Verrucosispora sp., Nocardiopsis sp., Actinophytocola sp., Dietzia sp., Gordonia sp., Micrococcus sp., Mycobacterium sp., Nocardia sp., Saccharopolyspora sp. And Rhodococcus sp. These rare actinomycetes can also be added to the list of genera isolated from this ecological niche, providing solid evidence that considerable diversity of actinomycetes are distributed within Kuantan mangrove forest. PKS-I and NRPS genes are usually related to the ability to produce secondary metabolites in actinomycetes. Interestingly, several of these rare actinomycetes showed the presence of both PKS-I and NRPS genes or either gene, and this exemplifies the potential of these rare actinomycetes may possess. Further studies conducted on these rare actinomycetes may reveal their true potentials that can be exploited for natural product discovery.

In conditions of climate change, when temperature and precipitation fluctuations occur more and more frequently during the growing season, it is necessary to obtain high quality seedlings with "immunity" to various stress factors, including high weediness, the damage from which is associated with a decrease in yield (by 25 -35%) and with a deterioration in the quality of agricultural products. Due to the imbalance in production technology, seedlings are often weakened, overgrown, with a low yield per unit area and survival rate in the field. One of the solutions to this problem is the use of PP for pre-sowing seed treatment to increase the competitiveness of seedlings in the field.
