“Katarni Rice” is the most prevalent, ceremonial and finest quality scented rice of Bihar. It is famous for its aromatic flavour, palatability and chura (beaten rice) making qualitiesofGeographical area of production of Katarni Rice includes districts of Munger, Banka and South Bhagalpur of Zone IIIA of Bihar. The unique features of Katarnirice is developed only when it is grown in its territory areas. It has an immense scope of trading in local as well as export market. But, the available Katarni rice is poor yielder (25-30 t/ha) and farmers are tending towards the cultivation of non-aromatic high yielding rice varieties. Hence, in order to save this landrace from extinction and promote and protect the interest of Katarni growers, attempts were made to get its geographical indication (GI). With objective of providing exclusive right to the farmers for growing this premium quality rice and getting remunerative price through its marketing, an application for getting the tag of geographical indication was submitted by a Katarnigrowers’ association. Bihar Agricultural University, Sabour as a technical facilitator for this application, served to characterize and document this rice landrace on the basis of morphological, biochemical and genetical traits. The present study deals with purification, documentation and characterization of Katarni rice which helped in getting the GI tag in 2018 from the office of Intellectual Properties Rights, New Delhi, India.

Epidemiological Characterization

Control and preventive measures for gonococcal infections are based on precise epidemiological characteristics ofN. gonorrhoeaeisolates. In the present study the potential utility of opa-typing and ribotyping for molecular epidemiological study of consecutive gonococcal strains was determined. Sixty gonococcal isolates were subjected to ribotyping with two restriction enzymes,AvaII andHincII, and opa-typing withTaqI andHpaII for epidemiological characterization of gonococcal population. Ribotyping withAvaII yielded 6 ribotype patterns while twelve RFLP patterns were observed withHincII. Opa-typing of the 60 isolates revealed a total 54 opa-types, which 48 were unique and 6 formed clusters. Fifty-two opa-types were observed withTaqI-digested PCR product while opa-typing withHpaII demonstrated 54 opa-types. The opa-types from isolates that were epidemiologically unrelated were distinct, whereas those from the sexual contacts were identical. The results showed that opa-typing is highly useful for characterizing gonococcal strains from sexual contacts and has more discriminatory than ribotyping that could differentiate between gonococci of the same ribotype. The technique even with a single restriction enzyme has a high level of discrimination (99.9%) between epidemiologically unrelated isolates. In conclusion, the molecular methods such as opa-typing and ribotyping can be used for epidemiological characterization of gonococcal strains.

<p>Atmospheric particulate matter has adverse effects on human health, and causes over 4 million deaths per year globally. New Delhi was ranked as world’s most polluted megacity with annual average PM<sub>2.5</sub> concentration of ~140 ug.m<sup>-3</sup>. Thus, real time chemical characterization of fine particulate matter and identification of its sources is important for developing cost effective mitigation policies.</p><p>Highly time resolved real-time chemical composition of PM<sub>2.5</sub> was measured using Long-Time of Flight-Aerosol Mass Spectrometer (L-ToF-AMS) at Indian Institute of Technology Delhi and Time of Flight-Aerosol Chemical Speciation Monitor (ToF-ACSM) at Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology, Delhi, and PM<sub>1 </sub>using High Resolution-Time of Flight-Aerosol Mass Spectrometer (HR-ToF-AMS) at Manav Rachna International University, Faridabad, Haryana located ~40 km downwind of Delhi during Jan-March, 2018. Black carbon concentration was measured using Aethalometer at all three sites. Unit mass resolution (UMR) and high resolution (HR) data analysis were performed on AMS and ACSM mass spectra to calculate organics, nitrate, sulfate and chloride concentrations. Positive Matrix Factorization (PMF) (Paatero and Tapper, 1994) of organic mass spectra was performed by applying multilinear engine (ME-2) algorithm using Sofi (Source finder) for identifying sources of OA.</p>

Introduction: Streptococcus pneumoniae is a major cause of mortality and morbidity in young children and the elderly. In the present study we evaluated antimicrobial susceptibilities, serotypes, and sequence types of pneumococcal isolates recovered in New Delhi, India. Methodology: A total of 126 clinical isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae were investigated. They were subjected to disk diffusion susceptibility testing, broth microdilution testing, serotyping and multilocus sequence typing. Results: Broth microdilution assay showed that 5%, 20% and 23% of the isolates exhibited resistance to penicillin, erythromycin and ciprofloxacin, respectively. Serotypes19, 1 and 6 were more frequently isolated. Thirty per cent of the strains were comprised of serotypes 1, 3, 5, 19A and 7F, which are not included in the seven-valent vaccine. Fifty-nine isolates were typed using multilocus sequence typing. Thirty new sequence types were encountered in this study. Only one clonal complex with 4 isolates was seen; 11 clonal complexes and 96 sequence types (STs) were observed among 115 Indian isolates. Only 18 of the 96 STs were found globally, of which only 4 STs were found in many countries with larger numbers. Conclusions: This study identifies the non-vaccine serotypes of Streptococcus pneumoniae circulating in India. It is important that an appropriate vaccine which covers all serotypes is used in the region.
