    phenylethyl alcohol to change the membrane permeability of Gram-negative bacteria (13). Growth on the plate indicated a positive result. Lack of growth on the EMB plate also suggested a Gram-positive bacterium. This was because the medium contained a methylene blue dye that hindered the growth of such bacteria (14). The high sodium content of the MSA plate created a high osmotic pressure that inhibited the growth of species that cannot withstand the pressure (15). Thus, observed growth indicated

    DISCUSSION Saponin have the ability to generate stable foam because of their amphiphilic nature (Moghimipour et al., 2014),this confirmed Our results which showed that, a stable persistent froth was observed when extract shaken with water. From the results of Fig.(1),thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) of extracted saponin indicated that, sea cucumber, Holothuria thomasi has one type of saponin. our results were in agreement with Amini et al.,(2014) who isolated saponin from Persian Gulf brittle star

    Introduction: Although the testing of salivary biomarkers has yet to take hold in clinical settings, the research surrounding this science is promising. Ideally, in the future, patients will be able to submit saliva samples to their doctor or dentist to be tested for a variety of conditions which can be detected based on particular proteins or enzymes, et cetera. The hope is that these tests could lead to early disease detection and treatment. In this report, you will find the ways in which saliva
