Mature leaves of 224 angiosperm plant species belonging to 60 families and growing in Andaman Islands, and the states of Arunachal Pradesh, Kerala and Tamil Nadu were sampled for the presence of endophytic fungi. Fungal genera such as Alternaria, Arthrinium, Aureobasidium, Chaetomium, Cladosporium, Glomerella/ Colletotrichum, Drechslera, Fusarium, Fusicoccum, Lasiodiplodia, Paecilomyces, Pestalotiopsis, Phoma, Diaporthe/Phomopsis, Guignardia/Phyllosticta, Sporormiella and Xylaria showed an isolation frequency of 5% or more. Species of Colletotrichum, Phyllosticta, Phomopsis and Xylaria occurred as endophytes in the leaves of many plant hosts including those that were taxonomically not closely related. The need to address the broad host range of some genera of fungal endophytes is discussed.Keywords

This article addresses the effect of non-condensable (NC) gases on the thermal performance of condensers used in Low Temperature Thermal Desalination (LTTD) plants utilizing natural ocean temperature gradient as well as waste heat recovery from process plants. The NC gases that flow along with the water vapour cause local reduction of heat transfer in the condenser and leading to high operating power and cost escalation. A computational investigation was performed and results showed that with increase in NC gases concentration, there was a decrement in overall heat transfer coefficient, increment in uncondensed water vapour and thus reduction in yield.Keywords
