<b>Background and Objective:</b> Cytochrome c oxidase gene subunit-I (COI) has conserved and variable regions and along with the 658 nucleotide base pairs at the '5 of these have been used as animal barcode, species identification and evolutionary studies of several vertebrates, especially Anura. This research was conducted to characterize the nucleotides of the COI sequence gene of (<i>Limnonectes cf. grunniens</i>) that live sympatrically with <i>L.

This study investigated the physicochemical and mechanical properties of modified BC film and its application as food packaging. The modified BC film performed carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) as a stabilizer and glycerol as a plasticizer.
