Counts of CFU of microfungi, percent carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, sodium, potassium, and calcium content, and pH were determined in upland, transect, and bottom soils, the transitional zone of Gujar Lake, a subtropical and eutrophic lake in India (25°58′N, 82°39′E). Microfungi in all zones were distributed in aggregate pattern, as evidenced by significant t values (P > 0.001) and F ratios (P > 0.001) of the variance–mean test and Morisita's index. A qualitative survey revealed that Alysidium sp., Arthrinium phaeospermum, Gliomastix murorum, Pythium sp., Tliermomyces sp., Thielavia terricola, Westerdykella multispora, and Varicosporium elodae were found specific to bottom soil of the lake. Key words: distribution, microfungi, transitional zone, subtropical, correlation.

Milk which has been heated to temperatures varying from 105–209° F. for half an hour differs from raw milk in its reaction to rennet in all cases.There is no change in the diffusibility of the nitrogenous substances in milk after heating to temperatures varying from 105–209° F. for half an hour.Heating to 175° F. and above for half an hour appears to reduce the diffusibility of the phosphorus content of milk.Heating to 125° F. and above for half an hour causes marked diminution in the diffusibility of the calcium content of milk.

Soil serves as a more reliable index for productivity than water qualities. The productivity of any pond depends largely on the quality of bottom soil that is “store house of nutrients.” The present paper deals with the study of physicochemical parameters like organic carbon, pH, Electrical conductivity, Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium of soil from Muthannan Kulam,Coimbatore (March 2013- May 2013). Analysis for the above parameters indicated contamination of the soil quality due to some anthropogenic activities.

Bioelements contained both in liquid and solid fall-out appear to be one of the potential sources of surface water pollution or effects on the landscape. The aim of the several-year monitoring consists in determining differences in the content of these components in particular localities of our region. To compare results, the methods of taking the samples as well as procedures in their processing were maintained although there are changes in the development and use of the methods. Due to technical reasons, it was not possible to separate liquid and solid components earlier than at two-month intervals. In spite of this, we use terms liquid and solid fall-out in determining the results although some small changes can occur in the liquid component. In comparing results of analyses from particular localities, it is necessary to take into account also the direction of prevailing winds which can help in identifying sources of air-borne components in fall-outs. All the fallout station localities were situated in such a way sources from the immediate vicinity to be eliminated. Sample analyses are aimed at general characteristics, i.e. dry matter, ash, water and macroelements (nitrogen, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, iron, aluminium, manganese) and microelements (boron, zinc, molybdenum, copper, lead, nickel, chromium, cadmium and mercury). At present, the measurements continue and results obtained are processed.
