Absract: The cell membrane of two strains of Psuedomonas aeruginosa, P22 and P201 were treated the sialic acid lectins SNA I, WGA, MAL and HAA to confirm the presence of sialic acid carbohydrates in the cell surface membranes of these strains.

CHAPTER 2 Literature Review California Coastal Sage Community Tectonic movements and climate changes roughly 14 million years ago led to formation of California’s coastal sage scrub environment. The area has been described as having a Mediterranean climate, which occurs on the western coast of continents between 30 and 40 degrees latitude. The region averages 25-to-51 millimeters of rainfall annually. Its temperature ranges from 4-to-10 degrees Celcius during winter to about 32.2 degrees Celsius

1. INTRODUCTION Although, classical oral antihyperglycaemic agents are the mainstay treatment of type 2 diabetes, they fail to prevent diabetic complications (Bergenstal, Bailey, & Kendall, 2010). This, therefore, justifies the search for more efficacious drugs. Although modern medicine has provided drugs belonging to classes including thiazolidinediones, GLP-1 mimetics and DPP-IV inhibitors (Krentz, Patel, & Bailey, 2008), there is still a need for new agents with better potential and physiological
