Silkworm fibre has been identified as a suitable material for biomedical and electronics applications because of its superior optical, mechanical and biological properties. Herein, we present comparative studies pertaining to the structural and morphological features of naturally harvested moth caterpillar silkfibre samples obtained from domesticated (Bombyx mori) as well as wild species, viz. Antheraea mylitta and Antheraea papiha. It has been observed that silk fibres obtained from silk cocoons are several micronsin thickness. Surprisingly, wild variety, i.e. tasar silk samples show better structural and morphological properties. These fibres may find broad-spectrum applications in biomedical and electronics research.Keywords

The phytochemical content and medicinal properties of the mushroom Geastrum saccatum, collected from the northern Western Ghats were evaluated. The mushroom powder was extracted in different solvents separately and assessed for the presence of phytochemicals. Anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, antioxidant and iron chelating activities of the mushroom extract were evaluated. The results revealed that chloroform extract of G. saccatum (CEGS) exhibited the maximum number of phytochemicals compared to the other extracts and hence was selected for further studies. The mushroom analysed contains different types of phytoconstituents having pharmaceutical activities. Maximum activity for the studied bioassays was found at 50 μg/ml of CEGS concentration. Thus chloroform extract of G. saccatum has potential pharmaceutical properties and thus can be used for the treatment of different diseases.Keywords
