A comparative assessment of phytoplankton dynamics during low tide (LT) and high tide (HT) was conducted from February 2022 to January 2023 in a tropical mesotidal creek, Manori, Mumbai, India. In total, 124 phytoplankton species were recorded. The HT resulted in greater species richness (124 species) and diversity indices (Shannon-Wiener's index) than the LT (102 species).

- The study assessed the production of eight flavonoids and two terpenoids in 14 in vitro cultures, finding higher levels of these compounds in organized tissue compared to undifferentiated mass.
- Mature plants showed the highest glycyrrhizin accumulation, a triterpenoid, with significant levels observed in 4-month-old stolons.
- The cytotoxicity tests revealed that extracts were effective against human pancreatic cancer cells, making this research a pioneering effort in linking plant growth regulators to metabolite production and its effects on cancer cells.
Leptospirosis is recognised as one of the commonest zoonotic infections in the world. In India, where animals provide the draught power for agriculture, which is the main profession of the population, the incidence of leptospirosis among animals and humans is high. In this paper, the isolation of pathogenic leptospires from human and animal hosts from several parts of India is reported.
