Momordica charantia (bitter melon) belongs to the family of Cucurbitaceae, a climbing vine which is commonly seen growing on walls and shrubs in the tropics.In this paper, because earlier claim shows that the plant used as stomachic, carminative, tonic, antipyretic, antidiabetic, in rheumatoid arthritis and gout, the present investigation was carried to characterized a principal components of plant using FT-IR technique

A 16 kb DNA fragment has been isolated from a Bacillus megaterium genomic library and fully sequenced. The fragment contains 15 open reading frames, 14 of which are thought to constitute a B. megaterium cobalamin biosynthetic (cob) operon. Within the operon, 11 genes display similarity to previously identified Salmonella typhimurium cobalamin biosynthetic genes (cbiH60, -J, -C, -D, -ET, -L, -F, -G, -A, cysGA and btuR), whereas three do not (cbiW, -X and -Y). The genes of the B. megaterium cob operon were compared with the cobalamin biosynthetic genes of Pseudomonas denitrificans, Methanococcus jannaschii and Synechocystis sp. Taking into account the presence of cbiD and cbiG, the absence of a cobF, cobG and cobN, -S and -T, it was concluded that B. megaterium, M. jannaschii and Synechocystis sp., like S. typhimurium, synthesize cobalamin by an anaerobic pathway, in which cobalt is added at an early stage and molecular oxygen is not required.

<p>The aim of this paper is investigating the micromorphological properties of fruits and seeds in the food and medicinal plant <em>Momordica charantia</em> L. (Cucurbitaceae). A detailed anatomical description on cross-sections of immature fruits and seeds is reported for the first time.</p><p>The fruit is characterized by a thin epicarp, a multi-layered mesocarp and by an inconspicuous endocarp. The seed-coat displays a pattern of organization in five tissues. These endomorphic features were compared and discussed with the results of previous investigations on other representatives of the genus <em>Momordica</em>. Since the structure of seed-coat is considered diacritical in the taxonomy of the genus, this report may offer a set of additional character useful for the characterization of the genus.</p>
