Article Synopsis
  • Ribosomally synthesized post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs) are emerging bioactive natural products primarily sourced from bacteria, offering potential health remedies.
  • A study analyzed 410 genomic sequences using tools like BAGEL and anti-SMASH, uncovering a total of 4098 RiPPs, with various classifications such as lanthipeptides and bacteriocins.
  • The research highlights soil as a rich environment for these peptides, indicating opportunities for developing new bioactive compounds for health applications.

Studies are being carried out on achieving the maximum quality of garlic through various approaches. In Bangladesh, new garlic varieties (BARI 1-4, BAU-1, BAU-2, BAU-5) have been recently developed by artificial selection to enhance their quality. The present study aimed to evaluate their potency in terms of bioactive properties and organosulfur compounds content using different bioassay and GC-MS techniques while comparing them with other accessible varieties (Chinese, Indian, Local).

In this article, we report draft genome sequence and annotation of Klebsiella quasipneumoniae from the wastewater source in Bangladesh. Here, we identified Klebsiella quasipneumoniae strain C11S11_BCSIR, a multidrug-resistant pathogenic bacterium harboring seven antimicrobial resistance genes of five major antibiotic classes with a novel multilocus sequence type (MLST) (ST6130).
