Instigation of neurosporaxanthin from O16N isolated from Gulf of Khambhat.

Compounds of natural origin are in burgeoning demand driven by heightened awareness of their health benefits. We present the maiden study on the production of neurosporaxanthin, a carotenoid, from marine O16N. Analysing various physical parameters including carbon source, agitation speed, temperature, salt and pH, we found that agitation adversely affects biomass and carotenoid production.

From Sea to Soil: Marine Bacillus subtilis enhancing chickpea production through in vitro and in vivo plant growth promoting traits.

Various strategies are used to augment agricultural output in response to the escalating food requirements stemming from population expansion. Out of various strategies, the use of plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) has shown promise as a viable technique in implementing new agricultural practices. The study of PGPB derived from rhizospheric soil is extensive, but there is a need for more exploration of marine microorganisms.

Investigating marine Bacillus as an effective growth promoter for chickpea.

Background: Microorganisms have characteristics that aid plant growth and raise the level of vital metabolites in plants for better growth including primary and secondary metabolites as well as several developmental enzymes. Marine bacteria must endure harsh environmental circumstances for their survival so it produces several secondary metabolites to protect themselves. Such metabolites might likewise be advantageous for a plant's growth.

Carotenoid from marine Bacillus infantis: production, extraction, partial characterization, and its biological activity.

Marine bacteria could serve as a potential source of natural carotenoids. Bacillus infantis, (Accession number OP601610), a bacterium with the ability to synthesize carotenoids, was isolated from the marine environment and used in this investigation to produce an orange pigment. Additionally, the production, extraction, partial characterization, and biological activity of orange pigment are reported in the current work.

Antacid Therapy in Coronary Artery Disease and Heart Failure: Proton Pump Inhibitors vs. H Receptor Blockers.

Purpose: Acid suppressive therapy using histamine H receptor antagonists (H2RAs) and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) can be utilized for the prevention of gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) among patients with cardiovascular disease receiving dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT). However, emerging data suggests underlying associations between PPI or H2RA use and cardiovascular disease incidence, progression, and mortality. This review explores the history of acid suppressive therapies and their use in cardiovascular disease patients and the growing evidence in support of H2RA use.

The Use of Mechanical Circulatory Assist Devices for ACS Patients with Cardiogenic Shock and High-Risk PCI.

Purpose Of Review: There has been a significant expansion of the use of mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices for patient with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) with cardiogenic shock (CS) and in patients undergoing high-risk percutaneous interventions (PCI). The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of the indications and outcomes of these devices in high-risk cardiac patients.

Recent Findings: Early revascularization of the culprit-lesion is the immediate goal in ACS patients with CS and the use of pulmonary artery catheters has been associated with improved outcomes in patients with cardiogenic shock.

Diagnosis of Occlusion Myocardial Infarction in Patients with Left Bundle Branch Block and Paced Rhythms.

Purpose Of Review: A number of criteria have been developed to aid with the diagnosis of occlusion myocardial infarction (OMI) in patients with left bundle branch block (LBBB) and ventricular paced rhythms (VPR). The current guidelines do not provide clear preference for any specific ECG criteria in LBBB and paced rhythm patients.

Recent Findings: This review delineates the difficulties of electrocardiographic diagnosis of OMI in both LBBB and VPR patients.

Simultaneous detection and quantification of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) produced by rhizobacteria from l-tryptophan (Trp) using HPTLC.

A simple, quick and reliable method is proposed for the detection and quantitation of indole-3-acetate (IAA) and indole-3-butyrate (IBA), an auxin phytohormone produced by rhizobacteria from l-tryptophan (Trp) metabolism using high performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC). Microbial auxin biosynthesis routes involve Trp as a precursor where other than IAA and IBA, products such as indole-3-pyruvate (IPA), indole-3-acetamide (IAM), tryptamine, indole-3-acetonitrile (IAN), indole-3-lactic acid (ILA) and indole-3-acetaldehyde (IAAld) are also produced. In traditional spectrophotometric method, Salkowski reagent develops color by reacting with indolic compounds.

Screening of PGPR from saline desert of Kutch: growth promotion in Arachis hypogea by Bacillus licheniformis A2.

Rhizosphere of a halotolerant plant Suaeda fruticosa from saline desert of Little Rann of Kutch, Gujarat (India) was explored for isolation of PGPR form the rare ecological niche having4.33% salinity. Total 85 isolates from the rhizosphere belonging to different species were isolated.

Induction of Defense-Related Enzymes in Banana Plants: Effect of Live and Dead Pathogenic Strain of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense.

The aim of the present study was to scrutinize the response of banana (Grand Naine variety) plants when interacting with dead or live pathogen, Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cubense, a causative agent of Panama disease.

Biosynthesis of Gold Nanoparticles Using Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense JT1, a Plant Pathogenic Fungus.

The development of reliable processes for the synthesis of gold nanoparticles is an important aspect of current nanotechnology research. Recently, reports are published on the extracellular as well as intracellular biosynthesis of gold nanoparticles using microorganisms. However, these methods of synthesis are rather slow.
