Actinomycetes, slow-growing gram-positive bacteria, are the major sources of bioactive compounds. This study aimed to screen and identify antibacterial secondary metabolite-producing actinomycetes by sequencing the 16S rRNA method (molecular identification) from the soils of the mountain region of eastern Nepal. Starch casein agar (SCA) medium was used for the isolation of actinomycetes which were confirmed by primary screening and secondary screening. Identification of presumptive genera was done based on macroscopic, microscopic, and biochemical characteristics and confirmed by sequencing their 16S rRNA genes. The antibacterial compound was produced by culturing the potential isolate in starch casein broth. Using organic solvents such as ethyl acetate, n-butanol, chloroform, dichloromethane, and methanol, the chemical was recovered from the fermented broth. TLC performed the antibacterial substance characterization. Only 9 (13.6%) of the 66 actinomycetes isolates showed antibacterial activity against test microorganisms. Only one of the nine isolates, M3, had antibacterial activity in primary screening against gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) and gram-negative (Escherichia coli, Salmonella Typhi, Shigella spp., and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) test bacteria. M3 was chosen for secondary screening due to its strong antibacterial activity. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of crude antibacterial substances was found to be 2.5 mg/mL against test organisms. According to the TLC chromatogram, the isolate produced only one compound with an Rf value of 0.81, completely distinct from the spot formed by gentamicin (standard), which had an Rf value of 0.89. The isolates were considered Streptomyces spp., a distinct taxonomic group based on characterization by macroscopic, microscopic, biochemical, physiological, and molecular techniques. This study concluded that Mountain regions are the reservoir of antibiotic- producing actinomycetes. Streptomyces is the most common genus.","PeriodicalId":34186,"journal":{"name":"Nepal Journal of Biotechnology","volume":" 55","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139139173","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}

The incorporation of buckwheat flour, soy flour, and kinema flour can be considered in composite flour-based biscuits since they have good nutraceutical properties and their gluten-free nature can help avoid celiac disease. The purpose of this research was to study the physicochemical and functional characteristics of buckwheat flour, soy flour, and kinema flour as well as their potential as functional foods. The biscuits were prepared with a mixture of buckwheat flour, kinema flour, and soy flour in 10%, 30%, and 50% concentrations with whole wheat flour to evaluate the quality and acceptability of the biscuit. The composite flour biscuits were examined for their proximate compositions. The DPPH radical scavenging assay was used to assess the antioxidant properties of the biscuit extract, while the Folin-Ciocalteu method and the Aluminum Chloride Colorimetric Assay were both used to assess the total phenolic and flavonoid contents, respectively. The overall acceptability of biscuits by sensory analysis was highest at a 50% level of Black kinema flour (BLKF). Sample M (BLKF 50 %) had 0.66, 21.06, 1.61, 11.88, and 3.23 % moisture, fat, crude fiber, protein, and ash, respectively. The highest total phenolic and total flavonoid contents were found in black kinema flour (748.22 mg GAE/g and 8.92 mg GAE/g, respectively), while the highest level of antioxidant activity was found in brown kinema flour (313.56 μg/ml).

Livestock, particularly poultry sectors are supposed to have the highest burden of AMR in animal health sectors. We reviewed published works about AMR in poultry farms in South Asia from 2005–2020, identifying 37 relevant articles. Published articles showed the high prevalence of AMR among poultry farms in South Asian countries, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Nepal. The pattern of resistance to antibiotics was found to vary with a higher degree of resistance to the most commonly used antibiotics such as ampicillin, tetracycline, streptomycin, and ciprofloxacin; and little or no resistance to less commonly used antibiotics such as amikacin and ceftriaxone. Antibiotics such as amikacin, ciprofloxacin, gentamicin, and ceftriaxone antibiotics were effective against E. coli; ampicillin, enrofloxacin, colistin, chloramphenicol in Salmonella sps; azithromycin, chloramphenicol, and gentamicin in Campylobacter sps; chloramphenicol and vancomycin in Staphylococcus sps. However, all these available scientific publications were based on point prevalence studies and lacked a comprehensive baseline, which makes it difficult to get a clear insight into AMR among poultry farms in South Asia. Thus, nationwide comprehensive studies on antimicrobial resistance among poultry farms in South Asian countries are necessary to get a clear picture of AMR in poultry farms in South Asian nations and to inform policies related to infection prevention and control measures.","PeriodicalId":34186,"journal":{"name":"Nepal Journal of Biotechnology","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135314074","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}

Growth regulators and media selection have an impact on the efficacy and quality of propagation. Both coconut water, a naturally occurring organic source of growth-promoting compounds, and the synthetic growth regulator GA3 (gibberellic acid-3), have the ability to accelerate plant growth. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of growth regulators and media, specifically GA3 and coconut water (CW) in agar-based media (ABM) and Clarigel-based media (CBM) which is a Gellan gum-based media, on potato nodal propagation. In contrast to the control group, GA3 in ABM did not produce definitive results, however GA3 in CBM showed a considerable level of efficacy. For the Janak Dev variety, CBM surpassed ABM in terms of root length, root hairs, leaf size, and dry biomass, whereas ABM demonstrated superior root length for the cardinal variety. In comparison to the GA3 alone at concentration ranges from 0 to 2 mg/L, adding CW at 200 mL/L to CBM or combining GA3 (0.25 mg/L) and CW (10 mL/L) substantially enhanced features including shoot length, leaf size, and root growth for both kinds. Acclimatized plantlets had a survival efficiency of 85% to 95%, with CBM supplemented with GA3 showing the highest survival rate and CBM supplemented with CW coming in second. These results highlight the significance of growth regulator and media choice in enhancing potato nodal propagation for improved plant quality and multiplication.","PeriodicalId":34186,"journal":{"name":"Nepal Journal of Biotechnology","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135314082","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}

Trivalent and hexavalent chromium are the most abundant forms of chromium discharged into the aquatic environment by industries. It has been reported that hexavalent chromium is highly toxic than trivalent chromium due to the higher solubility, mobility and tendency to accumulate in higher trophic levels, which, therefore, become bioavailable and causes carcinogenic, mutagenic and teratogenic effects on most microorganisms and animals, growth inhibition, morphological and physiological changes and yield reductions in plants. Therefore, it is essential to detoxify the above hazardous pollutants up to permissible limits, which local and international authorities have legislated concerning its threat towards biotic components. Hexavalent chromium detoxification is possible to achieve using three methods i.e. physical, chemical and biological methods. These remediation processes can eliminate highly toxic hexavalent chromium or transform it into a less toxic form of trivalent chromium, completely or partially by adsorption and reduction. Biological remediation is considered a cost-effective and ecofriendly method compared to physical and chemical remediation. Further, many biological agents have been identified as agents that can tolerate the hexavalent chromium toxicity up to certain higher levels depending on the internal and external environmental factors, indicating different metal tolerance mechanisms that are assumed to be applied in metal remediation aspects. According to the testimonies of novel bioremediation studies, some hexavalent chromium tolerant organisms such as plants, bacteria, unicellular and multicellular fungi and algae are promising eco-friendly alternatives in detoxification and hexavalent chromium removal perspective. This article reviews the bioremediation approaches available for hexavalent chromium detoxification and removal and highlights the strengths and weaknesses of current bioremediation methods.","PeriodicalId":34186,"journal":{"name":"Nepal Journal of Biotechnology","volume":"83 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77973151","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}

The physical and chemical property of this product is variable based on the source of hive, plant biodiversity where honeybee feed, season of collection, geographical origin etc. Propolis has several useful chemical compounds, and among them polyphenols are mainly contributing for their broad spectrum of medicinal quality such as antimicrobial, antifungal, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory activities as well as antioxidant properties. The present study aims to analyze the ethanolic extract of propolis for their phenol and flavonoid content as well as its antioxidant characteristics. The samples (SPLs) were collected from farmers of six different locations of Nepal i.e. Jhapa, Lalitpur, Kathmandu, Banke and Chitwan districts. Total phenolic content (TPC) and total flavonoid content (TFC) were measured by Folin Ciocalteu method and the aluminum chloride method respectively expressed as the gallic acid (GAE) and quercetin (QE) and equivalent (GAE) per gram. The Diphenyl-Picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay method was used to evaluate the free radical scavenging activity. The antioxidant effect of propolis was reported in ascorbic acid equivalent antioxidant capacity per gram of propolis. The highest content of phenolic and flavonoid content was found in sample SPL 2. The range of these compounds' concentrations were from 127.36±5.50 mg GAE/gram to 242.7±4.50 mg GAE/gram. Similarly, total flavonoid content ranged from 1.3197±0.0261 QE mg/ grams to 5.3921±0.0261 QE mg/ grams. Whereas samples from SPL 2, and SPL 5 showed highest antioxidant properties. All samples were found to have strong antioxidant capacity which was greater than standard. It is concluded that there is no direct correlation on total antioxidant property of propolis with their total phenolic and total flavonoid content among collected samples.
