ON GOING OTHER PROJECTS : 

Study of Microalgae and monitoring of the Water Quality of Lakes of AJCBIBG, Howrah (Newly assigned project in July, 2019).

 

COMPLETED PROJECTS:

1.    Study of Microalgae and monitoring of the water Quality of Leram Lake of AJCBIBG, Howrah (2017 - 19) :  Altogether 132 species have been recorded. Within this project 02 new record from India. Physico-chemical parameters of water of Leram Lake after installation of Grander Units, slightly improved the quality of the water and also indicates the alteration in micro-algal species accordingly quantitatively and qualitatively.

 

2.    Epiphytic Algal Flora of AJC Bose Indian Botanic Garden : During study 117 epiphytic cyanoprokaryotes and algal species were recorded from different Plant species like Great Banyan Tree - Ficus bengalensis L., Mangrove - Taxodium distichum (L.) Rich., Double Coconut - Lodoicea maldivica (J.E. Gmel.)Pres., Mango Belt - Mangifera indica L., etc. and also from Roxbourg Building of AJC Bose Indian Botanic Garden, Howrah. 18 species recorded as new to the science of India.

 

3.    Antarctica Project - Study of Algal Diversity of Larsemann Hills, Antarctica : Altogether 80 species of Cyanoprokaryotes and Algae were recorded from diverse habitat of Larsemann Hills, East Antarctica. About 98% species reported from this area is the first report of Algal Diversity on Larsemann Hills, East Antarctica.

 

4.    Algae of India: A Checklist of Dinophyceae (Dinoflagellates) : This checklist contains description of altogether 11 Order, 31 Families, 55 Genera and 294 species (including 05 variety and 04 forms), 192 new species have been incorporated after 1968 and updated since 1900. Some of the species are toxic and causing Harmful Algal Bloom (HAB) and released toxins.

 

5.    Microalgae recorded from on and around Lodoicea maldivica (J.E.Gmel.) Pres. (Double Coconut) in AJCBIBG, Howrah : Altogether 47 microalgae were recorded from Lodoicea maldivica (J.E.Gmel.) Pres., soil and pebbles / boulders / stones around the tree. Four species (including one variety) recorded as new to the science of India and reported in Plant Discovery as new record from India.

 

6.    Checklist of Cyanoprokaryotes (Cyanophyceae) of India : The checklist includes description of 05 Order and 18 Families, 90 Genera and 1,232 species (comprising 939 species, 207 variety & 86 forms) among which 01 Family, 05 Genera and 340 species were incorporated as new record from India.

 

7.    Taxonomic Studies of Cyanophyceae of India: I ^st Phase - Maldah District, West Bengal : During survey samples were sampled from 55 different water bodies of this area comprising 05 sites in river, 32 bils, 07 dighis, 02 Jheels 09 ponds. In totality 105 species of Cyanoprokaryotes were recorded in which 27 species new records from West Bengal.

 

8.    Indo-US Collaborative Project - Preventive efficacy of immuno-modulators and role of cytokines against health effect of environmental pollutants : Studied Preventive efficacy of immuno-modulators and role of cytokines against health effect of environmental pollutants and during the study established latest Molecular Biology Technique i.e. Ribonuclease Protection Assay (RPA) to assess the ability of immuno-modulators to prevent and restore the damage in Indo-US Collaborative project with Uniform Services University of Health Sciences, Bethesda, Maryland 20814 - 4799, USA. Our US collaborators in USA and US Attaché in New Delhi, India very well appreciated this work.

 

9.    Semliki Forest Virus as a biological model for evaluating the modulation of the immune status of the host under the toxic stress of xenobiotics :

 

During this project studied the immune status of the host to evaluate the ability of immuno-modulators to prevent / restore the damage and attempts were made to develop an accurate and rapid screening model for evaluation of the immuno-modulatory potential of xenobiotics. Pb and Cd were found immuno-inhibitor and increases host susceptibility to numerous infective agents. Pyridostigmine bromide (PB) as immunopotentiator and also used in the treatment of Myasthenia gravis and may be used following surgery in the reversal of neuromuscular blockade.  

 

10. Chemotherapy of viral infections by Marine and Terrestrial Natural Products : More than five hundred natural products from marine, terrestrial origin as well as synthetic compounds were screened in search of potential antiviral drugs using Japanese encephalitis (JEV) and Encepthalomyocarditis virus (EMCV). Five potential substances have been identified showing potential antiviral property. Ultra structural changes in treated and untreated brain tissue of virus-infected host were observed by histopathological examination as well as by electron microscopy and found significant changes.

 

11. Biological Studies of Ganga Ecosystem between Kannauj and Shuklaganj : Taxonomic study of algae and facts on algal infestation in nature, water and sand cultures of Ganga river were studied. Altogether 463 taxa were reported. The response of certain algae to major pollutants (calcium chloride, lead acetate, zinc sulphate, nickel acetate and cobalt acetate) is yet another aspect of considerable significance. Observations suggest that pollutants may not be always growth retarding or promoting but their response is varied.

C. Any other novelties:

Ø Algal sample collection of Larsemann Hills, East Antarctica was schedule to be completed in two austral summer but completed in one austral summer by putting extra ordinary efforts which is much higher than fixed target in such a harsh climatic condition. Almost all the species reported for the first time from India as well as from Antarctica.

Ø It is very interesting that rare giant palm listed in RED DATA Book i.e. Lodoicea maldivica (J.E.Gmel.) Pres. only tree in India was planted in 1894 and thus now it attains its age 125 years contains 47 species of Microalgae. This is a unique type of finding reported for the first time from India where a single rare slow growing plant contains such a vast diversity of microalgae of various classes on its almost all part of the plant body from base of the trunk to tip of the tree.

COMPLETED PROJECTS:

1. Completed an Annual action plan project titled “Floristic diversity of Great Indian Bustard Wildlife Sanctuary, Maharashtra” during 2010-2013. A total of 434 plant species were documented from this semi-arid grassland habitat. 

2. Completed an Annual action plan project titled “Floristic diversity of BRT Wildlife Sanctuary (Tiger Reserve), Karnataka” during 2013-2018. A total of 1350 plant species were documented. Gynostemma pentaphyllum (Thunb.) Makino (Cucurbitaceae) and Habenaria sahyadrica K.M.P.Kumar, Nirmesh, V.B.Sreek. & Kumar (Orchidaceae) collected from this sanctuary formed new distributional records for Karnataka. Vanilla walkerae Wight, an orchid species was rediscovered after a lapse of 110 years. Xenikophyton Garay, an endemic orchid genus of peninsular India, after critical study was merged under the genus Schoenorchis Reinw. ex Blume.
