Analysis of gut bacteriome of arsenic-exposed mice using 16S rRNA-based metagenomic approach.

Introduction: Approximately 200 million people worldwide are affected by arsenic toxicity emanating from the consumption of drinking water containing inorganic arsenic above the prescribed maximum contaminant level. The current investigation deals with the role of prenatal arsenic exposure in modulating the gut microbial community and functional pathways of the host.

Method: 16S rRNA-based next-generation sequencing was carried out to understand the effects of 0.

Thermostable and alkalistable exopolygalacturonase of Bacillus pumilus dcsr1: Characteristics and applicability.

The bioactive form of thermostable and alkali stable pectinase of Bacillus pumilus dcsr1 is a homodimer of the molecular mass of 60 kDa with a pI of 4.6. The enzyme is optimally active at 50 °C and pH 10.

Biotechnological Potential of Agro Residues for Economical Production of Thermoalkali-Stable Pectinase by Bacillus pumilus dcsr1 by Solid-State Fermentation and Its Efficacy in the Treatment of Ramie Fibres.

The production of a thermostable and highly alkaline pectinase by Bacillus pumilus dcsr1 was optimized in solid-state fermentation (SSF) and the impact of various treatments (chemical, enzymatic, and in combination) on the quality of ramie fibres was investigated. Maximum enzyme titer (348.0 ± 11.
