: Microbial fuel cell (MFCs) uses bacteria to convert organic waste material or chemical energy into electrical energy. These technologies represent various multi-disciplinary approaches for alternate source of energy. By the use of bacteria MFCs turn the energy stored in chemical bonds into the electric current that can use without the need for combustion. The basic working principle of MFCs is based on tenets microbial physiology which is coupled with electrochemistry. The structural design of MFCs consists of components such as cathode, electrolyte, and anode. Electricigens such as Geobacter species are able to oxidize organic matter to CO ₂ . By the use of MFCs electricity is generated by treating urban waste water. MFCs have various practical applications such as waste water treatment, hydrogen production, bioremediation, environmental biosensors etc.

Secondary metabolites are defined as small organic molecules produced by organisms which are not essential for their growth, development and reproduction. These compounds work as antimicrobial, antitumor and/or antiviral against pathogenic microorganisms. Actinomycetes are one of the most prominent species among various groups of microorganisms, which have the capacity of producing secondary metabolites. It has been reported that more than 70% of the antibiotics have been obtained from members of the Actinomycetes family till date. Hence it has been suggested that a large number of Actinomycetes may still be unknown with a potential to produce antibiotics. In present scenario, the emergence of multidrug resistant bacteria has forced the scientific community for the development of novel antibiotics for treatment of various human and animal diseases with such type of bacterial infections. This review has been carried out to update the scientific communities regarding the developments on antibiotics producing soil microorganisms.

To investigate the Endophytic fungi that are occupied asymptomatically in domestic tissues of all higher plants are of growing interest as promising sources of biologically active agents. The exploitation of novel and eco-friendly secondary metabolites used in medicine, the pharmaceutical industries and agriculture. In this research we select the Melia azedarach L. medicinal plant (exotic tree from Kalvarayan hills) to isolate and identify the endophytic fungi from living apparently symptomless flower, stems, leaves and fruits of medicinal plant will grow very well and is apparently resistant to many pathogenic microorganisms like bacteria, fungi and parasitic infection and it has insecticidal compound. Each segment from the plant of leaves, flowers, fruits and stem each 15 segment of plant parts were be sampled and, total of 47 fungi were isolated. The isolates of endophytic fungi from this plant parts including Cylindrocarpon lichenicola followed by, Chaetomium spp., Curvularia fallax, Fusarium solani, Alternaria alternata, Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus nidulans. The study the shows the hyphomycetes were more than dematiaceous and mycelia sterilia. The genera of Chaetomium lichenicola and Aspergillus were the most common in that plant.

This study was carried out for the isolation of Streptomyces species having biocontrol potential against Rhizoctonia bataticola. R. bataticola causes many diseases in soybean. Total 21 Streptomyces were isolated from rhizospheric soil of different plants of fields in kanheri sarap. The diversity of Streptomyces was most wide in rhizospheric soil of Pomegranate. Fourteen isolates of Streptomyces exhibited zone of inhibition against R. bataticola by dual culture method. Out of fourteen, twelve isolates were isolated from soil of Pomegranate. Streptomyces ANSP2, ANSP4, ANSP12 and ANSN14 shows strong antagonistic activity against R. bataticola. These four isolates were also found compatible to Bradyrhizobium japonicum. Efficacy of ANSP4 treatment was tested on germination of soybean seed, challenged with R. bataticola. ANSP4 shows better results than chemical treated seeds.
