Gram-negative Enterobacteriaceae pathogenic strains of Shigella organisms cause bacillary dysentery and shigellosis. Three serogroups-Shigella dysenteriae, flexneri, boydii, and sonnei and one serotype-Sonnei, are groups ...

Non-aqueous enzymology has always drawn attention due to the wide range of unique possibilities in biocatalysis. In general, the enzymes do not or insignificantly catalyze substrate in the presence of solvents. This is due ...

Growing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the major worldwide healthcare problems at present. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is part of the natural process of evolution among microorganisms, but which is expedited ...

Cadmium is a dangerous environmental contaminant that disturbs numerous ecological and environmental systems while being poisonous to plants and the microbial life. The present research attempted to utilize previously ...

In this report, protease-producing haloalkaliphilic bacteria from sea water have been investigated. Seven bacterial strains belonging to Geomicrobium halophilum, Oceanobacillus oncorhynchi, and Oceanobacillus khimchii were ...

Deserts in general, and Indian deserts in particular, are less attended for microbial diversity. The Little Rann of Kutch (LRK), a coastal saline desert, is characterized by a unique combination of both dry and wet ...

An alkaline protease gene of Bacillus lehensis JO-26 from saline desert, Little Rann of Kutch, was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3). A 1,014-bp ORF encoded 337 amino acids. The recombinant protease (APrBL) ...

The current study focuses on analyzing the effects of supplements containing silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) on plant growth and rhizospheric bacterial communities. Specifically, the impact of AgNP supplements was assessed ...

A plant growth promoting Pseudomonas aeruginosa AJD 2 was isolated from monocropic cotton rhizosphere of Maharashtra state, India. The strain was identified as per physiological, biochemical and 16S rRNA gene sequencing ...
