Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates the radioactivity levels in soil samples from neutral and agricultural sites in Punjab, India, using advanced techniques to understand how land use impacts these levels.
  • - Measurements show that while the activity concentrations of various radionuclides are generally within safe limits, gamma dose rates for both land types slightly exceed global averages.
  • - Soil analyses also revealed that vegetation land has higher levels of contamination from heavy metals like mercury and arsenic, indicating greater anthropogenic impact compared to neutral land.

Soidon is a non-salted acidic fermented food prepared from the succulent bamboo shoot tip of Schizostachyum capitatum Munro by using a traditional liquid starter called "soidon mahi" in Manipur state of India. In this study, 163 bacterial isolates associated with this starter samples were identified and their population distribution was investigated by amplified ribosomal DNA restriction analysis (ARDRA), 16S rDNA sequencing and randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis. This acidic starter (pH 4.
