International Agency for Standards and Ratings honors Annika Durve, Sanadhya Indu, Meeta Bhot, Jossy Varghese and Naresh Chandra with International Ecology Research Award-2015 for great scientific contribution
16 May, 2015, India, USA NEWS CORP
Annika Durve, Sanadhya Indu, Meeta Bhot, Jossy Varghese and Naresh Chandra, given the rock star fame in Ecology, as declared among World’s 500 Most Influential Ecologists for Year 2015 on Earth. In a worldwide meritorious competition, Annika Durve, Sanadhya Indu, Meeta Bhot, Jossy Varghese and Naresh Chandra grabbed the world’s prestigious International Ecology Research Award-2015. Representing the great legacy of India, Annika Durve, Sanadhya Indu, Meeta Bhot, Jossy Varghese and Naresh Chandra established the matter of proud to civilians of India. International Media is now seriously looking towards India, since Annika Durve, Sanadhya Indu, Meeta Bhot, Jossy Varghese and Naresh Chandra made a remarkable historical achievement. Ecologists are ensured that under the leadership of Annika Durve, Sanadhya Indu, Meeta Bhot, Jossy Varghese and Naresh Chandra, millions of emerging intellectuals would be benefited and inspired around the world.
Dr. Naresh Chandra M.Sc., M.Phil, Ph.D (Botany), Working as Principal of Birla College, Kalyan for past 30 years and recently retired as Ex- Pro-Vice Chancellor, University of Mumbai, Mumbai, India., Guided almost 20 Ph.D. students in Botany and Biotechnology.
Dr. Jossy Varghese M.Sc. Ph.D (Botany), Assistant Professor in Botany, presently working as Senior Vice-Principal, Co-ordinator of Department of Biotechnology and Head of Department of Botany, Birla College, Kalyan. Guiding both Botany and Biotechnology Ph.D. students.
Dr. Meeta Bhot M.Sc. Ph.D (Botany), Assistant Professor in Botany, In-Charge of M.Sc II Biotechnology, Department of Biotechnology. Guiding Ph.D Botany and Biotechnology students.
Dr. Annika Durve M.Sc. (Biotechnology), Ph.D in Biotechnology, Assistant Professor in Biotechnology, Birla College, Kalyan.
Dr. Indu Sanadhya M.Sc. (Biotechnology), Ph.D in Biotechnology, Research Scientist at Jain Irrigation Private limited, Jalgaun.
Annika Durve, Sanadhya Indu, Meeta Bhot, Jossy Varghese and Naresh Chandra from India made a historical victory over the international competition and won International Ecology Research Award-2015. Their research was highlighted in international media and gathered a large worldwide attention in scientific circles while it appeared in world's most read journal 'Photon Journal of Microbiology'. In their report on Comparative study on the bioaccumulation of heavy metals by microbial consortium and Pseudomonas aeruginosa they mention that In this work the bioaccumulation capacities of the microbial consortium and its comparison with the bioaccumulation efficiency of a single microbe was studied. Bacterial isolates were selected for their ability to tolerate high concentrations of heavy metals-Hg, As, Pb and Cd. The bacterial consortium was used to bio accumulate heavy metals from a mimicked system. The residual heavy metal was analysed and ICP-AES analysis showed the consortium, as free cells were capable of removing upto 95.34% and 78.74% of Hg and Cd resp. and in an immobilized form, removed 99.70% of Pb, while it was seen that free cells and immobilized form of AD3 was able to remove 60% of Pb, 40% of As and 48% Cd resp. On comparing the % accumulation after effluent treatment by AD3 and consortium, it was observed that the isolate AD3 had better accumulation capacities (75% of Cr, 92% of Mn, 16% of Cu and complete removal of Pb) as compared to the consortium (2% Cr, 7% Pb, 15% Mn and 72% Cu). For soil bioremediation, the consortium (34% Cd, 47% Pb and 33% As) showed better accumulation capacities in compared to a single isolate AD3 (19% Cd, 23% Pb and 27% As). Under their leadership the research area is surely likely to expand beyond the horizons. It will be worthy to explore the further potential under their legacy. Annika Durve, Sanadhya Indu, Meeta Bhot, Jossy Varghese and Naresh Chandra as valuable intellectuals for the India offer exclusive opportunities for scholars around the world. One of the most attractive weightage for India is to have the awardees for promotion of the concerned scientific discipline for the benefit of its civilians. Thus India which has excellent track record to produce brain storming intellectuals, has offered a new extension in terms of Annika Durve, Sanadhya Indu, Meeta Bhot, Jossy Varghese and Naresh Chandra to world.
The isolates obtained were seen to have high bioaccumulation capacities in respect to mercury, lead, arsenic and cadmium. Pseudomonas aeruginosa (AD3) was tested at various conditions and it showed better results at 37˚C - neutral pH and at a range of salt concentrations. Temperature is known to affect the stability of the cell wall, its configurations and can also cause ionization of chemical entities. Immobilized cells of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa have shown an effective and increased uptake of heavy metal than the free living cells. A consortium comprising of the bacterial isolates- Paracoccus chinensis (AD1), Planococcus rifietoensis (AD2), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (AD3), Brevibacillus choshinensis (AD4) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (AD5), was used for bioaccumulation studies. The ICP-AES analysis of the residual solution showed that the consortium, when used as free cells were capable of removing upto 95.34% and 78.74 % of mercury and cadmium respectively and when used in an immobilized form, removed 99.70 % of lead while it was observed that free cells and immobilized form of AD3 was able to remove 60 % of lead, 40 % of arsenic and 48 % cadmium respectively. On comparing the percentage accumulation after treatment of textile effluent by Pseudomonas aeruginosa (AD3) and consortium, it was observed that the isolate AD3 had better accumulation capacities (75 % of Cr, 92 % of Mn, 16% of Cu and complete removal of Pb) as compared to the consortium (2% Cr, 7% Pb, 15% Mn and 72% Cu). For the soil bioremediation, the consortium (34 % Cd, 47 % Pb and 33 % As) showed better accumulation capacities in compared to a single isolate Pseudomonas aeruginosa (19 % Cd, 23 % Pb and 27 % As).
Even though a mixed population is found to be more effective in heavy metal bioaccumulation, the consortium used in the present study was not as effective for bioaccumulation in comparison to Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This may be because of various abiotic factors, like nutrient requirements, temperature factors, effect of pyocin, antagonistic action of the bacteria present in the consortium, etc. Immobilization can prove to be an excellent method for bioaccumulation when using a microbial isolate.

ABC News Reports Crossbench still against higher education bills despite backdown
A Federal Government move to sideline a $1.9 billion budget cut to higher education courses and push ahead with fee deregulation has failed to sway the Senate crossbench. The measures — fee deregulation and the funding cut — were at the heart of the Coalition's university overhaul, which seemed doomed to fail for a second time in the Senate and have now been split into two separate pieces of legislation. The original bill faced heavy opposition, with only one crossbench senator out of eight publicly prepared to back it — far short of the six votes required. But hiving off the budget cut to a separate vote has not won over the vote — with at least five crossbench senators telling the ABC they will not vote for the core deregulation legislation.Shop Adidas Shopping accessories and 10 Moves to Tone Your Thighs, and Legs
