In this paper, we report on the use of alga Tetraselmis kochinensis in the intracellular synthesis of gold nanoparticles of dimensions 5-35 nm. The particles are more concentrated upon the cell wall than on the cytoplasmic membrane, possibly due to reduction of the metal ions by enzymes present in the cell wall and cytoplasmic membrane. These intracellular nanoparticles may have applications in drug delivery, biomedical applications, catalysis, etc. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V.

Vinblastine dissolved in sterile water when incubated with the fungal mycelial mass was transformed into vincristine at room temperature. The biotransformation process was monitored by periodic sampling of aliquots that were extracted with ethyl acetate. The crude transformed compounds were analysed using TLC where the Rf value of the spot obtained on the 8th day was found to be similar to that of standard vincristine (Rf 0.74). Purification by HPLC using a C 18 symmetry column showed a peak with RT (34.9 min) similar to that of standard vincristine. Further characterization with the help of ESI-MS showed a peak at m/z 825 attributed to the (M + H)(+) ion. This indicated that the fungus Fusarium oxysporum had converted vinblastine to vincristine.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1.093

In order to make these drugs readily available to the patients at affordable prices, we isolated the endophytic fungi from Catharanthus roseus plant and found a fungus AA-CRL-6 which produces vinblastine and vincristine in appreciable amounts. These drugs were purified by TLC and HPLC and characterized using UV-Vis spectroscopy, ESI-MS, MS/MS and H-1 NMR. One liter of culture filtrate yielded 76 mu g and 67 mu g of vinblastine and vincristine respectively. This endophytic fungal strain was identified as Fusarium oxysporum based upon its cultural and morphological characteristics and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequence analysis.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3.534
