Venue of the Conference
The venue of the conference is in the AIMST University campus. The university campus
is nestled on a 230-acres site within the foothills bordering the picturesque Gunung
Jerai Mountain in Kedah Darul Aman, Malaysia. Archaeological evidence suggests that
Kedah is the site of establishment of Peninsular Malaysia’s oldest civilization. The
Bujang Valley civilization, which began in the tenth century AD attracted a cosmopolitan
population of merchants and traders, including Indians, Chinese, Achenese, Burmese
and Arabs. The arrival of Arab traders signaled the first advent of Islam into the
Peninsula. The archeological findings reveal that the State was once a prosperous center
for trade and a focal point for knowledge and learning. The establishment of the AIMST
University in this historical site is indeed significant. The self-contained university
campus has a circular design that alludes to the ever-spinning wheel of progress; a
ubiquitous symbol which transcends many cultures and traditions. Campus is ultra
clean and free from sound (noise), water and air pollution. Several tourist places popular
in Malaysia are located near to the AIMST University.

Abstract
Should be written in a structured format (between 150-250 words) presenting concisely
the (i) aims, (ii) methodology and results and (iii) conclusion, significance and impact of
study. For example:
Aims: Prodigiosin is a bright red pigment produced by certain strains of Serratia
marcescens, characterized by a common pyrrolylpyrromethane skeleton. This pigment
is found to possess antibacterial, antifungal, immunosuppressive and antiproliferative
activity. The present study aimed at designing process parameters for the enhanced
production of this pigment.
Methodology and results: Peptone glycerol broth was selected as the best synthetic
medium. The effects of various media components and process parameters like carbon
and nitrogen sources, temperature, pH, incubation period and other supplements were
investigated. Maximal amount of prodigiosin was produced at temperature 25 °C, pH
7.0 and incubation period of 48 h. Supplementation of media with maltose and peptone
2
yielded maximal amount of prodigiosin. Incorporation of minimal amount of supplements
like silica gel, iron salts, inorganic phosphate also showed promising results.
Chromatographic separations suggested that prodigiosin is made up of three different
fractions (purple, orange and red). Further investigation of antimicrobial properties of
prodigiosin revealed that it is a potent inhibitor against gram positive bacteria like
Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus cereus and fungal pathogens like Candida
albicans, C. parapsilosis and Cryptococcus sp. This antimicrobial potency remained
stable under a wide range of temperature and pH. The antioxidant capacity of
prodigiosin was found to be 22.05 Bg ascorbic acid equivalents/mL of extract. When
applied to textiles, prodigiosin resisted the action of acid, alkali and detergent.
Conclusion, significance and impact of study: Besides combating gram positive
bacterial pathogens and some pathogenic yeasts, prodigiosin with strong dyeing and
antioxidant activity may find broad applications in textile and therapeutic industries.
