“…Further, no change in the λ max, structural and thermal property of CME, in the presence of bacterial consortium indicates that the used consortium was unable to cause any significant change in the polymeric backbone. It indicates the negative effect of used additive of blend that is cow dung on the bacterial growth (Waziri and Suleiman, 2013). Thus, the in vitro biodegradation studies revealed that the CME was not biodegraded by the used bacterial consortium during incubation period of 4 days.…”

“…within 48 h of the incubation ( Figure 1a) and CFU count was lower in comparison to the controls (Figure 1b). This effect may be due to the organic matter and antibacterial property of cow dung (Waziri and Suleiman, 2013). Moreover, the significant increase in the OD 600 was observed in the presence of CME, as the additive of the blend i.e.…”

Thermoplastic-based polymers and their blends are recalcitrant in nature. Based on their extensive use, huge amount of polymeric waste is being produced annually, which impart serious threat on the natural ecosystem. Considering this scenario, it is needed to take some immediate actions to keep the ecosystem dynamic and secure. Therefore, this study was carried out in order to evaluate an indigenously developed bacterial consortium for the biodegradation of epoxy and a blend of epoxy with cow dung that is cow dung modified epoxy (CME). These polymers were preliminary screened against the used bacteria individually for determination of optimum concentration to utilize them as carbon source. For this purpose, the comparative in vitro biodegradation studies were carried out using the bacterial consortium. Relatively, better biodegradation potential of developed consortium was observed for epoxy in comparison to CME, as higher biomass and more sustained growth of consortium was obtained in the presence of epoxy. Further, the progressive in situ degradation of epoxy and CME films was also conducted in the presence and absence of consortium for three and six months under natural conditions. For this purpose, bioformulation of bacteria was used to inoculate the soil. The treated samples were analyzed for their comparative spectral, thermal and morphological changes. Thus, the present study reveals that the used bacterial strains have the potential to act upon epoxy and CME polymers and capable to impart changes in the surface morphology during incubation in soil.

“…The study revealed that cow dung extract possess antimicrobial properties, which can be used to fight against certain pathogenic diseases and other ailments. Table 5 shows that the cow dung extract has antibacterial activity against Bacillus subtillis, Staphylococcus aureus and was helpful in establishing the antibiotic property of the extract (Waziri and Suleiman 2013).…”

The bacterial wilt disease caused by Ralstonia solanacearum is an extremely destructive soil borne bacterial pathogen to potato. It appeared as rapid and fatal wilting symptoms in the host. The pathogen entered through different wounds and easily disseminated via infected biological material, soil, contaminated irrigation water, surface water, farm equipment etc. and could survive for many years in association with alternate hosts. It is a widely distributed and very much diversified soil borne pathogen having an unusually broad host range with long-term survivable ability. Direct yield losses caused by the pathogen varied from 30 to 90% depending on different factors such as cultivar, weather factors, soil type, cropping pattern and strain etc. Bacterial wilt continued to be an economically serious problem for field-grown potatoes in many tropical, subtropical and warmer areas of the world including Bangladesh. But the effectiveness of conventional management is limited because of some special biological features of the bacteria. Mostly protective methods and chemical control remain ineffective, antibiotics show hardly any effect, and efficacious biocontrol method has yet to be developed against the organism. However, during the recent decades, some natural bioactive compounds, viz. propolis, honey, turmeric, magnesium chloride, cow dung, aromatic rice extract, iodine, sodium bicarbonate etc. have got attention for their effectiveness in inhibiting a range of serious bacterial pathogens from both Gram positive and Gram negative types. As no conventional method has been found effective alone, such compounds could be tested for their effectiveness against the very successful soil borne bacteria to overcome the traditional management limitations.

Aim:The present study was undertaken to evolve suitable High Performance Thin Layer Chromatography (HPTLC) profile and to evaluate in vitro antioxidant activity of cow dung. Materials and Methods: Dung samples, collected from cows of Geer variety of Bos indicus on different days at predefined times, were subjected to development of HPTLC profile, estimation of total phenolic content and in vitro antioxidant activity by HPTLC-2, 2 Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazil (DPPH) bioautography, Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power (FRAP) and DPPH free radical scavenging methods. Results: Developed HPTLC profile revealed notable variations among the samples. HPTLC-DPPH Bioautography showed presence of number of antioxidant compounds, which was further confirmed by quantitative evaluation of in vitro antioxidant activity. The results of the study indicate presence of phenolic as well as non-phenolic natured bio-active compounds in cow dung. Conclusion: The HPTLC profile as well as antioxidant potential of cow dung is reported for the first time with notable intra-day and inter-day variations. The evolved chromatographic profile will be very useful for evaluating the quality of cow dung. It has potential as a natural antioxidant.
