Characterization of Bacillus pacificus KUMBNGBT-39-Derived Polyhydroxybutyrate and Impact of Physicochemical Factors on its Production.

The extensive use of various chemicals in synthetic plastics is toxic and threatens the biosphere. To address this, the study aimed to isolate, screen, characterize, optimize, and quantify polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB)-producing bacteria using cost-effective residues. Isolated from a landfill site, the Gram-positive, rod-shaped, spore-forming, motile bacterium with intracellular PHB granules was identified as Bacillus pacificus based on phenotypic and genotypic characteristics.

Eco-friendly synthesized silver nanoparticles from endophytic fungus Phyllosticta owaniana: KUMBMDBT-32 and evaluation of biomedical properties.

The primary objective of the current investigation was the biosynthesis of Phy-AgNPs by the endophytic fungus Phyllosticta owaniana (extracted from Abrus precatorius) and the evaluation of the secondary metabolites from the ethyl acetate extract of P. owaniana cultivated by submerged fermentation. Utilizing bioanalytical strategies, Phy-AgNPs were characterized.

Interprofessional Management of Orofacial Pain: Wearing Many Hats!

Orofacial pain is one the commonest chronic oral health disorder. Yet, its complete management is still a researchable matter as it is a disorder which is caused due to various factors. It is very rare is find a single etiology leading to orofacial pain.

Induction of Ced9 mediated anti-apoptosis in commercial banana cultivar Rasthali for stable resistance against Fusarium wilt.

Anti-apoptotic gene Ced-9 enhanced resistance against f. sp. (Foc) in the susceptible banana cultivar Rasthali by arresting tissue necrosis.

Deployment of Stacked Antimicrobial Genes in Banana for Stable Tolerance Against Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cubense Through Genetic Transformation.

Enhanced tolerance to wilt disease (Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cubense) was achieved in banana variety Rasthali (AAB) by the transformation of embryogenic cells with two antimicrobial genes viz.
