We hypothesized that endophytes that are harbouring in the roots of mangrove plants may improve the innate immunity of host plants to survive naturally in saline environment. Retrieving these endophytes and sequential characterization may function as a novel bio-effector for non-host food crops as well. We focused on the integrated approach towards formulating a novel bacterial consortium. Thirty-one bacterial endophytes isolated from the roots of mangrove plants were screened for plant growth promoting potential by inoculating our model crop (Tomato). Seven most promising isolates impacting plant growth were identified. <em>In-vitro</em> plant growth promoting characters were also analysed. The root colonization by the isolates was confirmed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Among the screened isolates, four of them were found to be compatible with each other when grown together and were selected to formulate a novel biostimulant consortia. The consortia treated Tomato plants exhibited superior phenological characters. In the pot experiment, plant height of the treated plants was about ≈43 cm while the non-treated plants under salt stress could grow only up to a height of ≈26 cm. Similarly, a total fruit yield of ≈6.8 kg was observed in case of treated plants under salt stress whereas the non-treated plants under salt stress could only produce ≈4.7 kg of fruit. This study demonstrated that the beneficial bacteria inhabiting in mangrove roots can increase the potential of conferring salt tolerance to non-host crops, thereby contributing to sustainable agriculture.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8774,"journal":{"name":"Biocatalysis and agricultural biotechnology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142553479","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}

They are a major source of public concern because of their ubiquitous manufacturing, usage, and careless disposal of expired products into the environment. Many PPCPs, including antibiotics, analgesics, endocrine disruptors, and microbial/disinfecting agents, are commonly detected in freshwater systems, groundwater, and wastewater treatment effluents in amounts ranging from nanograms per liter to milligrams per milliliter. Additionally, these compounds frequently show persistence and accumulate in biological tissue, eventually finding their way into crops, vegetables, and drinking water supplies. Because many PPCPs are known to have the ability to upset ecosystems and/or provide health hazards, they are categorized as “emerging contaminants.” The research on the occurrence, fate, and possible health and environmental hazards related to PPCPs in both aquatic and terrestrial habitats is thoroughly reviewed in this work. It also covers reported cases of danger or health concerns in humans, although a full assessment may not be possible given the limitations of the data at hand. This review aims to provide a comprehensive and well-focused overview of the current understanding of bioremediation strategies for the removal of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs), with an emphasis on the application of macroalgae, microalgae, and aquatic macrophytes. It examines the physicochemical properties of PPCPs and their potential risks to environmental and human health. Additionally, the review explores the potential and challenges associated with the broader application of biotechnologies employing algae and aquatic macrophytes. This includes research efforts to correlate the operational parameters of these biotechnologies with the primary mechanisms responsible for PPCP removal.

This increase in F pollution is a direct consequence of the unbridled use of fertilizers in agricultural and several other human activities that require immediate and appropriate action. Therefore, this manuscript reveals important findings on the efficacy of bacteria isolated from agricultural fields in central Chhattisgarh in manifesting resistance to F and in reversing the F-induced oxidative damage in susceptible <em>Oryza sativa</em> L, (Var.

Chronic exposure of <em>Oryza sativa</em> L. to sodium fluoride (NaF) (50 mg L<sup>−1</sup>) severely impeded growth and various physiological parameters such as germination percentage, biomass and root and shoot length and stimulated the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which enhanced electrolyte leakage and formation of cytotoxic products like malondialdehyde. To this end, potential bacterial strains, namely MT2A, MT3A, MT4A, and Du3A were isolated, screened for various plant growth promoting (PGP) traits and used to explore their efficiency to mitigate F toxicity in <em>Oryza sativa</em> L. <em>in vivo.</em> The seedlings inoculated with the bacterial strains showed significant development as evidenced by an increase in root and shoot length, biomass and chlorophyll content. Additionally, inoculation of these strains in combination with F stress significantly decreased oxidative stress by increasing the expression of protective genes encoding antioxidant enzymes and boosted agronomic traits remarkably.

Nanotechnology offers innovative solutions for medication delivery and biofilm disruption, presenting new opportunities for antimicrobial surfaces and healthcare equipment development. This paper explores advancements in nanotechnology-based strategies to combat dental biofilms, primarily formed by <em>Lactobacillus</em> species, <em>Actinomyces</em> species, and <em>Streptococcus mutans</em>, and examines the composition and characteristics of dental biofilms.

The stages of dental biofilm formation are outlined, highlighting the risks of untreated biofilms, including systemic health implications. This review underscores the promise of nanodrugs in preventing dental biofilms and improving the efficacy of dental procedures. It delves into cutting-edge nanotechnological approaches, emphasizing the novel use of nanoparticles like gold, silver, and antimicrobial peptides, and their unique mechanisms for disrupting biofilm formation and enhancing dental treatments.
