Although the incidence of cases has significantly decreased over years, the disease still persists in some active foci. Factors contributing to the maintenance of the disease such as the existence of an animal reservoir or population knowledge are still not well known. It is in this context that a study focusing on the knowledge and practices of the population with regard to HAT as well as on the prevalence of trypanosomes infecting animals was undertaken in three active HAT foci in the Republic of Congo. The study was performed using field surveys conducted from November 2019 to June 2021. Domestic animal blood was examined by microscopy and PCR to detect the presence of trypanosomes. A structured questionnaire was administered to the population to assess their knowledge and practices concerning HAT in these endemic foci. More than half of the animals examined were found to be infected with trypanosomes (51.22%). The main trypanosome species infecting animals were Trypanosoma congolense savannah (67.2%) and Trypanosoma brucei (s.l.) (32.8%). No trypanosomes infecting humans were detected. Concerning household surveys, more than half of the respondents (52.9%) were fully aware of the mode of transmission and symptoms of the disease. The majority of people preferred to wear clothes covering the whole body and to use locally made soap as repellents to protect themselves from tsetse fly bites. This study suggests frequent circulation of animal trypanosomes in domestic animals and the use of personal measures to protect against tsetse fly bites. Updating information on the HAT animal reservoir and population knowledge alongside regular monitoring of the tsetse fly populations and the use of traps to control tsetse flies are crucial to drive efforts towards the elimination of gHAT in the Republic of Congo.","PeriodicalId":43788,"journal":{"name":"Microbiology Research","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75667995","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}

Herein, a biological approach is used; the textile azo dye brown 703 is degraded utilizing Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The bacterial strain was isolated from textile wastewater dumping sites in Mingora, Swat. The optimization for bacterial degradation was carried out on the nutrient broth medium, which was then subjected to a variety of environmental physicochemical conditions and nutritional source supplementation before being tested. Under micro-aerophilic circumstances, the maximum decolorization and degradation of dye occurred at a 20 ppm dye concentration within 3 days of incubation at a neutral pH and 38 °C. The decrease in the intensity of the absorbance peak in the UV–Vis spectrum was used to measure the extent of decolorization. Initially, 15 bacterial strains were isolated from the textile effluent. Out of these strains, Pseudomonas aeruginosa was found to be the most potent degrading bacteria, with a degradation extent of around 71.36% at optimum conditions. The appearance and disappearance of some new peaks in the FT-IR analysis after the degradation of brown 703 showed that the dye was degraded by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The GC–MS analysis performed helped in identifying the degraded compounds of azo dye that were utilized in illustrating the under-study process of brown 703 degradation. The biodegradation brought about by Pseudomonas aeruginosa can be employed successfully in the future as an eco-friendly approach with far reaching results.","PeriodicalId":43788,"journal":{"name":"Microbiology Research","volume":"895 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86331482","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}

This study aims to isolate and identify extremophilic bacteria that could produce L-methioninase and to access the enzymatic potential of isolated bacteria under stress conditions, specifically in agro-industrial waste. In this study, a rare marine bacterium, Alcaligenes aquatilis BJ-1, exhibited the highest specific activity of 4.61 U/mg at an optimum pH of 8.3. The L-methioninase was purified 4.3-fold and 7.15-fold by acetone precipitation and Sephadex G-100 gel filtration chromatography, which revealed a molecular weight of 46 kDa. In addition, agriculture waste materials such as cottonseed oil cake had the highest L-methioninase production. Moreover, A. aquatilis BJ-1 can tolerate and produce enzymes in the presence of 10% NaCl, 6% KCl, and 4% MgSO4. Similarly, substrates such as L-asparagine, L-glutamine, L-alanine, and L-tyrosine were found suitable to increase enzyme production. The strain produced L-methioninase in the presence of various heavy metals. Maximum enzyme activity was found in Zn2+ at 0.1% (2.52 U/mL), Li2+ at 0.03% (2.90 U/mL), and Ni2+ at 0.01% (2.78 U/mL), as compared to the control (2.23 U/mL) without metal. Enzyme production was also observed at a high temperature (60 °C), with the produced enzymes possessing antioxidant properties. In addition, no hemolytic activity was observed.

The highest bacterial loads were recovered from socks, underwear, and onesies (>106 colony-forming units [cfu]/sample) and the highest fungal loads were obtained from socks and underwear (>5 × 102 cfu/sample). The sequencing method identified opportunistic pathogens present in the samples, including members of genus Staphylococcus and Corynebacterium, as well as anaerobic members of the family Clostridiales. The opportunistic fungal pathogen Candida parapsilosis was identified in a high proportion of worn clothing samples.

However, its consequences on microorganisms are generally poorly considered. The main effect of climate change on microbiota is related to biodiversity changes in different regions of the planet, mainly due to variations in temperature. These alterations are resulting in a worldwide (re)distribution of pathogens, which was not considered a few years ago. They mainly affect different food chain sectors (such as agriculture, livestock and fishing), as well as human health. Hence, the spread of numerous animal and plant pathogens has been observed in recent years from south to north (especially in America, Europe and Asia), leading to the spread of numerous plant and animal diseases, which results in economic and ecological losses. In addition, global warming that accompanies climate change could also be related to emerging antibiotic resistance. However, the mitigation of climate change goes hand in hand with microorganisms, which can help us through different natural and industrial processes.

This review describes the pathogenicity of F. oxysporum, its virulence mechanisms, and host plant–pathogen interactions. The control means deployed by Bacillus species inhibit or kill these phytopathogens. Bacillus spp. produce a wide range of secondary metabolites, including volatile and non-volatile organic compounds. Biocontrol potential is achieved through direct antimicrobial activity, the induction of the host plant’s immune response (Induced Systemic Resistance), and competition for nutrients and space. In addition, parameters governing the selection of effective biocontrol agents and their survival in plant microbial communities are discussed. The influence of the microbiota on the establishment and development of biocontrol agents can assess the potential of these treatments and facilitate the development of effective biopesticides during their field application.","PeriodicalId":43788,"journal":{"name":"Microbiology Research","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72534822","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}
