peninsular India, and Africa, as part of the landmass known as Gondwanaland. This long separation has impeded the establishment and development of land-based flora and fauna in the Antarctic. Other significant factors that have hampered terrestrial biotic evolution are the harsh climate, the ice cover that completely engulfed the continent during the Pleistocene glaciations, and the present limited number of ice-free land areas, which are restricted primarily to the coastal fringes and nunataks (mountain

Ecology as a field of science looks at ecosystems as a whole and the relationships between all components of that ecosystem biotic and abiotic, human and non-human, and ecologists seek to solve environmental problems, better manage ecosystems and our effects on them, and offer alternatives for destructive practices. Many times these alternatives allow humans to continue to benefit from certain behaviors while greatly decreasing their environmental impact, but sometimes these alternatives become just

compound (8) and a basic sterol found in cell membranes of fungi and protozoa that are considered as “Fungal sterol” (1). Ergosterol was discovered 125 years ago in plant pathogenic Ergot fungus Claviceps purpurea(1).Ergosterol is a characteristic component of the fungal cell membrane and is completely or nearly absent in animal, plant and bacterial cells (2).Ergosterol accounts for (depending on growth phase) 10–80 % of all sterols present in the mycelium (3). It forms a part of the sterol mixture
