Decolorisation of reactive red 11 and 152 azo dyes under aerobic conditions

422-424A microorganism isolated from a textile-dyeing effluent disposal site was found to decolorise textile azo dyes viz. reactive red 11 and reactive red 152 (200 mg L-1) within 24 h of incubation at room temperature and neutral pH. Fast decolorisation (within 42 h) was observed with higher concentration of azo dyes (1000 mg L-1) and the decolorisation took place strictly under aerobic conditions. Thus, this microorganism seems to have potential for effective bioremediation of textile-dyeing industry effluents

To Study the effect of Swarna Prashan on Physical Growth Parameters of Weight and Height in Children

In Ayurveda Swarna Prashan (SP) is quoted to be effective in increasing intelligence, strength and potency to longevity. This study aims to observe effect of SP on physical growth parameter weight and height. Total 120 children were selected randomly from outpatient department (OPD) with age group ranging from 0 to 12 years. SP as trial drug and madhu jala as placebo was administered in children of trial group and control group respectively, for 14 times in duration of 1 year. Growth parameter weight and height was assessed on every visit of children. It is found that SP has significant(p<0.05) result in weight gain of male and female children in relation with control group as well as standard group (book value) while SP has no significant(p>0.05) effect on height in male and female children in relation with standard group
