Isolation And Identification Of Lactic Acid Bacteria With Antifungal Activity Against Anthracnose Disease, Asma Saleh Elmabrok
Isolation And Identification Of Lactic Acid Bacteria With Antifungal Activity Against Anthracnose Disease, Asma Saleh Elmabrok
Asma Saleh Elmabrok
Abstract: The objective of this study was isolation, identification of lactic acid bacteria from different source and testing their antifungal activity against phytopathogens fungi C. capsici and C. gloe osporio ides. The isolates were identified by their phenotypic and genotypic characteristics and their antifungal activity was performed by the overlay method. Seven LAB isolates were showed good antifungal activity against phytopathogens fungi and were grew at different temperatures, pH and NaCl. However, C5 and G7 have the ability to inhibit the growth of both target phytopathogens fungi compared to other isolates. C5 and G7 identified by API 50CHL kit as …

Fauna Reported From Batu Caves, Selangor, Malaysia: Annotated Checklist And Bibliography., Max Moseley, Teck Wyn Lim, Tze Tshen Lim
Fauna Reported From Batu Caves, Selangor, Malaysia: Annotated Checklist And Bibliography., Max Moseley, Teck Wyn Lim, Tze Tshen Lim
Max Moseley
The Batu caves are the only caves in the Malay Peninsula that are well investigated zoologically, and they are the most thoroughly sampled anywhere in Southeast Asia. However, the records have not been collated to provide a comprehensive overview of the fauna present. This issue is addressed here by presenting an authoritative checklist of all reported zoological taxa, together with ecological annotations and a comprehensive bibliography.
Descriptions Of Two New Species Of Simulium (Simulium) (Diptera: Simuliidae) From Tioman Island, Peninsular Malaysia, Mohd Sofian Bin Azirun
Descriptions Of Two New Species Of Simulium (Simulium) (Diptera: Simuliidae) From Tioman Island, Peninsular Malaysia, Mohd Sofian Bin Azirun
Mohd Sofian Bin Azirun
Two new species of black flies, Simulium (Simulium) jasmoni and S. (S.) tiomanense, are described on the basis of adult, pupal and larval specimens collected from Tioman Island, Pahang, Malaysia, and are placed in the tuberosum species-group in the subgenus Simulium (Simulium) Latreille. Simulium (S.) jasmoni, new species, is characterised by the female tarsal claw with a minute subbasal projection, an unusual characteristic within the species-group, and S. (S.) tiomanense, new species, is striking in having a dichoptic male head, a characteristic rarely recorded in the family Simuliidae, as well as the pupal thoracic integument with a pit-like organ near …
Relationships Of Black-Fly Species Of The Simulium Tuberosum Species-Group (Diptera: Simuliidae) In Peninsular Malaysia, With Keys To Ten Malaysian Species, Mohd Sofian Bin Azirun
Relationships Of Black-Fly Species Of The Simulium Tuberosum Species-Group (Diptera: Simuliidae) In Peninsular Malaysia, With Keys To Ten Malaysian Species, Mohd Sofian Bin Azirun

Two species of black flies, Simulium (Simulium) jasmoni Takaoka, Sofian-Azirun & Belabut, 2012 and S. (S.) tiomanense Takaoka, Sofian-Azirun & Belabut, 2012, described from Tioman Island, Pahang, Malaysia, are placed in two different lineages of the tuberosum species-group in the subgenus Simulium (Simulium) Latreille, and have close similarities to S. (S.) tani Takaoka & Davies, 1995 and S. (S.) brevipar Takaoka & Davies, 1995, respectively, which were the only members of the same species-group in the nearest mainland of Peninsular Malaysia. It is suggested that S. (S.) jasmoni and S. (S.) tani in one lineage, as well as S. (S.) …

Genotype-Phenotype Diversity Of Beta-Thalassemia In Malaysia: Treatment Options And Emerging Therapies, Maryanne Jin Ai Tan Maryanne

The haemoglobinopathies and thalassemias represent the most common inherited monogenic disorders in the world1. Beta-thalassaemia major is an ongoing public health problem in Malaysia2. Prior to 2004, the country had no national policy for screening and registry for thalassemia. In the absence of a national audit, the true figure of the extent of thalassemia in the Malaysian population was largely presumptive from micro-mapping studies from various research workers in the country. The estimated carrier rate for beta-thalassemia in Malaysia is 3.5-4%. There were 4768 transfusion dependent thalassemia major patients as of May 2010 (Data from National Thalassemia Registry).
Susceptibility Of Field-Collected Aedes Aegypti (L.) (Diptera: Culicidae) To Bacillus Thuringiensis Israelensis And Temephos, Mohd Sofian Bin Azirun
Susceptibility Of Field-Collected Aedes Aegypti (L.) (Diptera: Culicidae) To Bacillus Thuringiensis Israelensis And Temephos, Mohd Sofian Bin Azirun
Mohd Sofian Bin Azirun
The susceptibility status of field-collected Aedes aegypti (L.) from a dengue endemic area to Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti) and temephos was determined. Since August 2007, biweekly ovitrap surveillance (OS) was conducted for 12 mo in 2 sites, A & B, in Shah Alam, Selangor. Site A was treated with a Bti formulation, VectoBac® WG at 500 g/ha, from December 2007 - June 2008 while Site B was subjected to routine dengue vector control activities conducted by the local municipality. Aedes aegypti larvae collected from OS in both sites were bred until F3 and evaluated for their susceptibility. The larvae were …
