Cell free culture filtrate of a biocontrol PGPR strain of Bacillus subtilis showed a concentration-dependent growth and conidiation inhibition of Fusarium udum.
Cow urine is considered to possess immense therapeutic properties. The aim of the study was to evaluate the biochemical, antioxidant and antimicrobial potential of cow urine. We have used paper chromatography, DPPH antioxidant assay as well as disc diffusion assay to establish the presence of amino acids in the urine and also to portray its antimicrobial and antioxidant potential. We have been able to identify arginine, glutamine and serine in the cow urine. Cow urine proved to be an effective antibacterial agent as depicted by the zone of inhibition in disc diffusion assay. DPPH assay confirms cow urine as a potent antioxidant. The study concludes that cow urine can be used as an effective antimicrobial as well as antioxidant.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
