Frogs are a diverse group of mostly carnivorous amphibians found around bodies of fresh water worldwide except Antarctica. They are cold-blooded animals whose temperature matches their surroundings. Frog reproduction begins when females lay thousands of jelly-coated eggs in water. The eggs hatch into tadpoles, which have gills and tails. Over several weeks, tadpoles grow legs and lungs through metamorphosis and emerge from the water as juvenile frogs.
- Most fish breathe through gills and have skeletons made of bone or cartilage. They propel themselves through water using tail fins and other fins. Fish come in a wide variety of sizes, from less than an inch to over 60 feet long.
- Reptiles are air-breathing vertebrates covered in scales that lay eggs. Examples are crocodiles, lizards, snakes, turtles, and tortoises. They are often cold-blooded and regulate temperature behaviorally.
- Birds are feathered flying animals with wings, beaks, and lightweight skeletons adapted for flight. Their respiratory and skeletal systems are specialized for flying.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...Joshua Orris
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.

3. 1.Wet low areas of eastern Canada.
2.Northeastern United states.
3.Atlantic coast
4.Southeastern Georgia
Range of star nose mole
They prefer damp to
Saturated soil.
4. These species like to inhabit in the wet areas, wet
meadows, lakes, streams and banks. These moles
create tunnels underneath the water.
5. Kingdom Animalia
Phylum Chordata
Class Mammalia
Order Eulipotyphia
Family Talpidae
Subfamily Scalopinae
Tribe Condylurini(Gill-
1872,1875)
Genus Condylura(Illiger-1811)
Species C.Cristata
Bionomical name Condylura cristata
6. Star nosed mole is covered with thick, blackish-
brown water repellent fur.
Large scaled feet and thick tail (fat storage reserve
for spring breeding season)
Adults: Length=15-20cm, Weight=55grams,
Teeth=44
Rays: 22 mobile, pink, fleshy, tentacles at the end
of the snout.
These rays are used to identify the food by
touching.
7. Star nosed mole usually mate in the middle of
March and April.
The females reproduce only once a year.
However, the females may also reproduce for the
second time at an unsuccessful first time.
Each litter contains 2 to 7 babies.
8. Each offspring about 5cm long, hairless, 1.5gram
weight.
Their eyes, ears, stars are sealed, only opening
and becoming useful about 14 days after birth.
They become independent after 30 days.
They fully matter after 10 months.
9. Sensory motor organ shaped by 22 fleshy finger
like appendages or tendrils.
It is larger than the other mole species noses.
The snouts are lined with 25,000 minute sensory
receptors. It is helpful for the mole feel its way
through its underground lair.
These are help to kill its prey with
in 120 milliseconds.
10. It is a fastest eating mammal. They are almost being
blind.
The Star-Nosed Mole’s adaptation has occurred
because its poor-sighted eye could result in the
species to extinction because it won’t be able to hunt
its prey.
The mole lives in dirt, so it should be dirty.
It’s prey is too fast for it.
11. Its nose prevent the
dirt from entering
nose and mouth.
Without its nose, it
would not be able to
survive in its habitat.
The nose of these
species act, as a
powerful sensory
organ because these
help them to see.
Life span 3-4 years.
12. The Guinness Book of World Record has stated that
these species are in the list of one of the fastest
hunters.
The tentacles of these species are six times faster
when compared to the human hand.
The blackish brown fur of these species helps them
to be warm during winter. This prevents freezing of
their body.
13. Color Blackish brown
Size 15-20cm
Weight 55 gram
Body Long tail, water
resistant fur
Legs Four legs dotted
with scales
Head Not clear vision
Teeth 44
Nose Like a star
14. These species dwell in both wet areas as well as
land surface.
They can swim long distances in search of prey.
However, like to spend several hours on the land
surface.
These species are active during both day and night
and even during winter
They prefer to live together forming colonies.
15. These species like
to have small
insects & fishes. At
other times, they
can also go for
ants, beetle snails,
and mollusks for
their diet.
19. C.cristata are the only mole species that live in the
wetlands
C.cristata are not currently endangered, but
humans are expanding and destroying the
wetlands
They could be at risk in the future.
C.cristata can consume its body weight in worms
and insects in a single day.
The star shaped nose on C.cristata has over
160,000 touch sensors per square inch
