The isolate exhibiting maximum plant growth promoting and antagonistic potential was subjected to biochemical characterization and 16S rDNA gene sequencing. Based on molecular characterization, the isolate was identified as Variovorax soli with NCBI accession number LC372534. The PGP potential of Variovorax soli was established as it augmented plant growth in control and under salt, drought, heavy metal stress conditions. Positive results for in-vitro tests viz. amylase, hydrogen cyanide, lipase, catalase, protease and chitinase production confirmed the antagonistic efficacy of Variovorax soli. Nutrient acquisition enhancing efficiency of V. soli was established as positive results were recorded for PGP tests viz. siderophore production, nitrogen fixation, phosphate solubilization and exopolysaccharide production. Plants inoculated with V. soli induced phytohormonal modulation (viz. increase in IAA level and reduction in stress ethylene level) for enhanced shoot, root length, increased plant fresh and dry weight, chlorophyll and proline content for extensive root system, plant growth and alleviation of salt, drought, arsenic stress impact as compared to uninoculated plants, thus confirming its ability as biological fertilizers. Along with (IAA) indole 3-acetic acid and (ACC deaminase) 1-aminocyclopropane 1-carboxylic acid deaminase, certain other extracellular exudates of PGPR serve as signaling molecules to trigger abiotic stress responsive pathway. V. soli is therefore a promising green alternative to chemical fertilizers to induce abiotic stress tolerance and reclaim soil fertility to elevate agricultural productivity.","PeriodicalId":21091,"journal":{"name":"Research Journal of Biotechnology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138985322","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Palmyra palm is an important tropical dioecious tree crop with diverse uses. However, no reliable gene expression studies or housekeeping gene standardization have been documented, which limit crop improvement and utilization. In this work, four frequently used statistical tools such as RefFinder, NormFinder, Delta CT method and BestKeeper were applied to evaluate the constancy and fluctuation in expression of a chosen 10 internal control genes such as NADH dehydrogenase subunit 5-like (NAD5), β-actin, ACTIN CRD, alpha-tubulin, UBCE, EIF, EF2, AP1, GAPDH and UBQ2 in both vegetative and reproductive tissues of dioecious Palmyra palm. Six flower tissues and two leaf tissues from male and female palms were used in this study. The findings indicated that NAD5-2 is the most reliable and constant housekeeping gene expressed during Palmyra palm flower development. The AGAMOUS and SEEDSTICK genes expression pattern in the flower development were used to validate the normalized expression of the four housekeeping genes that were chosen in order to further support the stability of those genes. Our results will be useful for further research on gene transcription level in Palmyra palms and also the above mentioned tool is very useful for the normalization of housekeeping genes of biological samples with different experimental conditions.","PeriodicalId":21091,"journal":{"name":"Research Journal of Biotechnology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139011942","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a highly nutritious substrate, dairy products possess great potential for probiotic bacteria isolation. The main purpose of this study was to isolate probiotic bacteria in order to search for lipase producing bacteria. The bacteria were isolated from dairy products and purified by repeated sub-culturing on MRS medium at 37°C. The isolates were subjected to primary and secondary screening via fluorometric and colorimetric methods respectively. The isolates showing orange fluorescence under UV light at 350 nm around their colonies were selected for the colorimetric method. In this method, lipase activity was investigated by p-nitrophenyl palmitate. Probiotic characterizations of lipase-producing isolates were performed by acid resistance test, cell surface hydrophobicity assay, auto-aggregation and co-aggregation. The optimization of lipase production was performed by Central Composite Design (CCD). In the present study, 92 isolates were recovered from 71 samples. The results showed that 41 isolates were positive for fluorometric assay. According to the amount of enzyme production, seven strains were selected for probiotic characterizations. Finally, a potential probiotic strain of genus Lactobacillus showed the highest enzyme activity with 3.4 U.ml-1 compared to other isolates. This strain showed 100% similarity to Lactiplantibacillus plantarum. This research indicated that the lipase of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum can be used as a promising enzyme in the food and medicine industries.","PeriodicalId":21091,"journal":{"name":"Research Journal of Biotechnology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138984935","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Clinical and haematological details were collected. Prognostic Sokal and European treatment and Outcomes Study (EUTOS) scoring were applied to stratify different risk groups of patients. Study population showed male preponderance. The most common presenting symptom was splenomegaly (98%) followed by anaemia (94%). The patients were divided into Chronic Phase (CP), Accelerated Phase (AP) and Blast phase (BP) in males and females. In males, there was a significant reduction in haemoglobin levels as the disease progressed whereas in females, there was a reduction in haemoglobin levels. Haemoglobin count reflected the anaemic picture and was lowest in the blast phase. The blood cell indices and differential counts were within their normal range in both male and female patients. There was variation in the levels of lymphocytes among males and females but lower than the normal range. Basophil levels were significant between the different phases in females whereas platelet count was significant in males.

Hemolysin can break down erythrocytes (RBC) which is called hemolysis. Hemolysins act on the cell membrane of erythrocytes, resulting in pore formation in the membrane and liberating hemoglobin into the growing environment. Hemoglobin is used as an iron source by pathogenic bacteria with the help of a siderophore or is taken up via iron receptors present on the bacterial cell membrane. Despite the pore formation into erythrocytes, hemolysin or cytolysin has also the ability to pore formation in a broad range of the cells such as mast cells, neutrophils and polymorphonuclear cells. It also enhances virulence by causing tissue and cell damage. Hemolysin is associated with the pathogenesis of different Vibrio spp. that cause either wound infection or intestinal infection. V. cholerae and V. parahemolyticus are popularly known for intestinal infection whereas V. alginolyticus and V. vulnificus cause would infections. The genome of Vibrio alginolyticus ATCC 17749 was analyzed for the gene responsible for the biosynthesis of hemolysins. Its genome encodes for five hemolysins that might play an important role in hemolysis and pathogenesis.

First, the proximate and phytochemical compositions of Prosopis africana pods (PAP) were determined. Previous biologically-pretreated pods of Prosopis africana were then saccharified using dilute acid hydrolysis following a full factorial design. The factors optimized were acid type (HCl and H2SO4), acid concentration (1 %, 3 % and 5 %), solid loading ratio (5 %, 10 % and 20 %) and reaction time (15, 30 and 60 minutes). Several Rhizopus oryzae isolates were screened for LA production and the most prolific was molecularly identified. The factors affecting LA yield from PAP hydrolysate were screened using a half-factorial design. The significant factors were then optimised using Box-Behnken Design of Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The proximate analysis showed high levels of protein, lipid, ash and carbohydrates. The phytochemical analysis of PAP revealed the presence of flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins, phenols, tannins, glycosides and terpenoids. The hydrolysis conditions of 3 % HCl, 20 % solid loading and 15 minutes hydrolysis time yielded the highest reducing sugars of 42.5 g/L. The most promising isolate, identified as R. oryzae strain AK-22, produced 19.7 g/L after RSM optimization, a 38.1 % increase over yields from non-optimised conditions. These findings are on the biotechnological production of LA from the pods of Prosopis africana, an abundant yet under-utilised tree crop.","PeriodicalId":21091,"journal":{"name":"Research Journal of Biotechnology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139012056","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to the limited supply of SARS-CoV-2 medicines on the market, an immediate strategy was required to accelerate the development of new drugs. Drug repurposing is one of the novel approaches for the therapeutics of several life-threatening diseases. This study identified 408 SARS-CoV-2-associated SNPs from the Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS) catalog and 391 risk genes associated with SARS-CoV-2. The prioritization was performed based on six categories of functional annotations. SARS-CoV-2 risk genes were mapped into an expanded PPI network using the STRING database. We discovered the drugs that target deregulate SARS-CoV-2 risk genes. Here, we demonstrated the drug target genes overlapped with the drugs for other clinical indications. Hence, we suggest that the identified drugs may be repurposed for the treatment of SARS-CoV-2 and its variants. Overall, this study emphasizes the integration of functional genomic variants and bioinformatics-based approaches to drive drug repurposing efforts for the therapeutics options for COVID-19.","PeriodicalId":21091,"journal":{"name":"Research Journal of Biotechnology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139012091","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
