In the present study, there is estimation of extent of biodegradation of textile dyes viz. malachite green and congo red by using fungi and bacteria. Pure cultures of bacteria and fungi were maintained by subsequent sub culturing. It has long been reported that bacteria inhabits in industrial effluents utilizing its constituents as their source of energy. These bacte ria are of indigenous type and the dye effluent serves as their source of nutrients. Textile dye effluent harbor a wide range of bacterial species that may even degrade the dyes to obtain their essential elements.Screening of the bacterial isolates was pe rformed to figure out the isolate capable of degrading textile dyes namely Congo red and malachite green in media containing respective dye . Notably, only 2 bacterial strains capable of decolorizing the majority of dyes up to 60% were screened and considered as potential candidates.

The production of bio based products and bioenergy from less costly renewable lignocellulase material would bring benefits to the local economy environment and natural energy security. The aim of presented work is to focus on cellulose production by Bacillus subtilis using corn cobs, lablab peel, and groundnut shell waste as a substrate. Corn cobs is a by-product of sweet corn process industry and abundant natural biopolymer on earth and most dominating agricultural waste. Groundnut shell contains high cellulose and hemicellulose content and also other carbohydrates. Bacillus subtilis was used for enzyme production by using corn cob, lablab peel waste and groundnut shell waste under solid state fermentation. It first pre-treated with NaOH and it was observed that Enzyme production was improved at optimized environment i.e.30C to 60C.

Lycopene is most abundant carotenoid in tomatoes , followed by betacarotene, gamma carotene, phytoene, and other minor carotenoids. Tomatoes are the part of diet, consume in large level in all over world. Tomatos contain numbers of phytochemical, such as a lycopene, carotenoid etc. The present work investigated that lycopene extract from tomato have antimicrobial activity against some pathogen and comparison its activity with commercial antibiotics and mouthwash. The research work shows that lycopene was effective against pathogens klebsiella, bacillus and aspergillusniger, lycopene have better activity than commercial antibiotic and mouthwash.
