ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY OF BLACK FRUIT VARIANT OF SOLANUM NIGRUM L

Solanum nigrum was selected and antimicrobial activity was screened. The antimicrobial activity of three different concentrations, 25 µg/ml, 50 µg/ml and
100 µg/ml of 50% of ethanol extract of So[r]

The major constraints in the islands are limited availability of productive lands, fertilizers and irrigation water. Huge quantity of cocopeat and saw vegetables in the markets but also their impaired quality by the time they reach consumer.

In this study the main emphasis was given on appropriate cultural practices such as plant densities and training systems in order to enhance the production per unit area by utilizing the available space and utilization of the resources.

Ninety clones showing amylase formation after oneday of growth, and thus probably expressing the mostactive or efficient polymerases present in the library,were used for screening. Initial screening rounds forincreased enzymatic activity or stability resulted in theselection of 3[r]
