The present study explores the resistome and secondary metabolites profile associated with the sludge of two pharmaceutical industries located in Delhi and Mysore, India. It confirmed that the pharma sludge contains complex microbiome and resistome. The presence of antibiotic-resistant genes (ARGs), class I integrons, and secondary metabolite genes (NRPs and PKs) was confirmed using PCR. Metagenomic tools like ResFinder 3.2, DeepARG, BusyBee, MG-RAST, and CoMET universe were used to analyze pharmaceutical sludge metagenome. Proteobacteria was found abundant in both metagenomes, followed by firmicutes & bacteriodetes. KEGG analysis predicted the expression of vancomycin, Pandrug, antifolate resistance pathway in both metagenomes. Resfinder predicted the presence of aminoglycoside, macrolide, and sulphonamide resistance genes in both metagenomes. DeepARG analysis classified ARGs in 28 (Arbro) & 27 (Mysore) ARG category and 431 & 368 ARG class. Further, CoMET universe indicated the presence of biosynthetic gene clusters like type II polyketide biosynthesis, Nonribosomal polypeptide biosynthesis, vancomycin & tetracycline, and macrolide biosynthesis. The present study provides primary insight about the diversity of secondary metabolites clusters present in pharmaceutical sludge. Microbes residing in such environment grows under higher selection pressure and produce various secondary metabolites. These metabolites could be exploited for the discovery of novel metabolites with antimicrobial potential and combating AMR. In future, the author aims to clone metagenome in expression vector (BAC/YAC vectors) for the discovery of novel secondary metabolites.","PeriodicalId":13316,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Microbiology","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142220319","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although buffaloes are usually considered to be more resistant than cattle, bubaline paratuberculosis displays similar gross and histological lesions. The association of MAP with human Crohn’s disease poses a high risk of infection for slaughterhouse and dairy farm workers. The objective of the present study was to identify subclinical paratuberculosis in buffaloes slaughtered at Mhow cantonment abattoir, Madhya Pradesh, India. A total of 150 paired samples comprising serum (N = 50), tissues of the intestine (N = 50), and mesenteric lymph nodes (N = 50) from each animal were collected randomly from 50 buffaloes over a period of 3 months to perform the diagnosis by competitive ELISA for anti-MAP IgG detection in serum samples. Tissue samples were subjected to histopathology to classify the lesions in hematoxylin–eosin-stained tissue sections and to detect acid-fast bacilli in sister tissue sections on Ziehl–Neelsen staining. Anti-MAP antibodies were detected in 22.0% (11/50) of the serum samples. Among tissue samples, grade I, II, III, and IV lesions were observed in 24, 22, 4, 0 ileum, and 20, 24, 5, and 1 mesenteric lymph node samples, respectively. Acid-fast bacilli were observed in 6 ileum and 11 mesenteric lymph node samples. Overall, histological findings were more defined and illustrative than ELISA and can be used for the identification of paratuberculosis among slaughtered animals, especially in laboratories with limited resources. The findings also suggest an urgent requirement for the adoption of paratuberculosis control measures in the area.

Cd is a trace element that enters into plants through contaminated soil. Serendipita indica is a fungal endophyte which colonizes and benefits exceptionally large group of plants. Roots of 3-days old B. juncea seedlings were inoculated with S. indica and raised in toxic Cd concentrations (10 µM, 30 µM and 50 µM Cd) till 12 days after inoculation in plant growth chamber with conditions of 16-h light/8-h dark photoperiod, temperature 25 °C (± 2 °C) and 80% relative humidity. The seedlings were tested for various morpho-physiological parameters like seed germination, plant biomass and %age heavy metal tolerance index. Also, various non-enzymatic antioxidants like vitamin A, vitamin C, phenols, flavonoids, total soluble sugars, reducing and non-reducing sugars were analyzed. Cd led to reduction in the % age germination of B. juncea seeds. Serendipita indica inoculation incremented the growth parameters like fresh weight, dry weight, root length, shoot length which were diminished by Cd stress. Enhancement of 20.66% in root length was observed in inoculated and Cd stressed seedlings. The content of phenols increased under unstressed conditions by 26.6% and by 55.29% under Cd stressed conditions in S. indica inoculated seedlings along with increasing contents of vitamin A and C. Overall, the content of carbohydrates was enhanced with S. indica inoculation. The study suggests that S. indica endophyte has great potential in boosting growth and physiological parameters which help in managing Cd stress in B. juncea.<h3 data-test=\"abstract-sub-heading\">Graphical Abstract</h3>","PeriodicalId":13316,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Microbiology","volume":"286 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142220316","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In recent years, there has been increasing concern about the health problems associated with HPV infection. To better understand the mechanisms by which high-risk human papillomavirus infection leads to cervical cancer, many studies have begun to explore the role of the vaginal microenvironment in this context. The female vagina is an open cavity with a special anatomical structure, which constitutes the first barrier to protect the vaginal microenvironment. At the same time, the female reproductive tract is a typical micro-ecosystem with a wide variety of microflora, which maintains a dynamic and balanced relationship of symbiosis, coexistence, and mutual control with the external environment and the host. Hormonal changes during the physiological cycle, especially estrogen, have an important influence on the structure and stability of the vaginal flora. In addition, the vagina has an important role in immune homeostasis, where the immune system plays a crucial role in maintaining tissue homeostasis, eliminating pathogens, and avoiding barrier damage. When a pathogen such as human papillomavirus enters the vagina, the immune system initiates an associated immune response to clear the virus and restore tissue health. However, in some cases, the immune system may not be able to effectively respond to human papillomavirus infection, leading to the development of persistent infections. Dysregulation of vaginal microecology may be an important factor in persistent human papillomavirus infection. This review focuses on this topic by describing the vaginal microenvironment, human papillomavirus, and the mechanisms involved in influencing the vaginal microecology causing persistent human papillomavirus infection and thus accelerating cervical carcinogenesis.","PeriodicalId":13316,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Microbiology","volume":"431 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142220318","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study evaluates different horticultural wastes to utilize it as media component to develop a cheaper media formulation for biopigment production using Rhodotorula sp. MTCC 1446. Proximate analysis of wastes revealed the optimum level of total sugars, reducing sugars, titratable acidity, macro and micronutrients in potato waste for growth of Rhodotorula sp. yeast culture. Concentration optimization showed the 5.0% (w/v) potato waste as media component resulted in 2.82 ± 0.8 g/kg biomass and 259.46 ± 9.5 µg/g biopigment productions. Standardization of growth conditions were carried out implementing Response Surface Methodology. Optimized growth conditions for Rhodotorula sp. were found to be pH 7.0, 30 °C, 66 h incubation time and 362.5 g DAHP addition that lead to production of 34.60 g/L biomass and 3345.82 µg/g biopigment. Validation at 3L scale showed the production of 32.6 g/L biomass and 3152.42 µg/g biopigment with the desirability of 98%. Characterization discovered the presence of carotenoids having antimicrobial, anticancerous, antioxidant properties and stability studies revealed the thermostable (up to 70 °C) and UV light and sunlight stability for 4 h of biopigment. Utilization of biopigment in food products increased the nutraceutical value of the product by increasing its phenolic content as well as appearance of the respected food items.
