Identification of low molecular weight aromatic compounds from the lignin
degraded by Bacillus sp. using Gas Chromatography – Mass Spectrum

Abstract :

Biodiversity and nesting ecology of dwarf bee Apis florea was carried out in different areas of Tamil Nadu, India. Totally154 colonies were observed, and among them 110 were live and 44 were abandoned colonies, and 23 of them were from human habitation and 131 colonies from non- human habitation located in areas covering 44 villages. 21 plant species were observed for nest-site selection by dwarf bee A. florea and were classified into two categories such as trees and shrubs. They included 12 tree and 9 species of shrub. Maximum of 17 colonies were observed in Bambusa arudinaceae followed by 12 and 11 were found in Tectona grandis and Cocos nucifera respectively. The length of nest varied from 10cms to 30cms and 64 nests were about 25 to 30cms. The preference of nest site selection by the A. florea was the height of 4 to 6 mts from the ground level, invariably near to a water source. The direction of colonies in the nest sites were in accordance with the prevailing wind direction. Thus, the aspect of nesting ecology of Apis florea mostly remained unchanged from its open nesting behavior.
