Aim: The aim of the study is to access the microbial activity of Tala patra leaves-Palm Leaves Manuscripts-PLM-B. flabellifer for the preservation and conservation of Tala patra manuscripts.
Study Design: The study is designed in such a way that the leaves
sample were used for the different microbial study in the science laboratory.
The observation was recorded and the result is predicted with the help of the
standards.
Place and Duration of the Study: The leaves sample of Tala patra
was collected in the Department of Manuscriptology, Karnataka Samskrit
University, Chamarajpet, Bangalore. The work has started in February 2024.
Methodology: In this work we have chosen microbial isolation was
done from the leaves sample collected, by using suitable growth media under
controlled condition to facilitate their growth and study.
Results: This study possesses the antimicrobial activity which
will inhibit the growth of various microorganisms (bacteria, fungi and even
viruses. The study supports us to know the leaf-microbe interactions, as few
microbes have symbiotic association with the plant and few could be pathogenic
to plant.
Conclusion: According to ‘Constitution of India - 1950’ In Part
IV-A under fundamental Duties in article 51A “It shall be the duty of every
citizen of India-point no. (f) to value and preserve the rich heritage of our
composite culture.” (Govt. of India,2015.). Therefore, its everyone duty is to
preserve the heritage of India by preserving the PLM. In this context,
microbial studies of B. flabellifer
manuscripts leaves offer valuable insights into the potential on the
manuscripts and provide a basis for the preservation and conservation of
original PLM.
