Differential Multi-cellularity Is Required for the Adaptation for to Withstand Heavy Metals Toxicity.

is a multi-metal tolerant bacteria, isolated from the paddy rhizospheric soil sample. Upon the multiple metal toxicity, altered their phenotypic/morphogenesis. Here we examined the effects of cadmium (Cd2+), chromium (Cr2+), and mercury (Hg2+) on the morphogenesis of in comparison to control.

Morphological and molecular characterization of Neopestalotiopsis vitis associated with leaf blight disease of Manilkara zapota-a new record from India.

Sapota is an important horticultural crop grown in India, and Karnataka is a major producer of sapota. A characteristic leaf blight disease was observed in Southern Karnataka during field surveys conducted in 2019 with an incidence of 13-22% in approximately 45 ha of sapota field. The leaf blight-associated pathogen was isolated on the potato dextrose agar medium.

Application of Optimized and Validated Agar Overlay TLC-Bioautography Assay for Detecting the Antimicrobial Metabolites of Pharmaceutical Interest.

The agar overlay TLC-bioautography is one of the crucial methods for simultaneous in situ detection and separation of antimicrobial metabolites of pharmaceutical interest. The main focus of this research relies on the dereplication of an antimicrobial metabolite coriloxin derived from mycoendophytic Xylaria sp. NBRTSB-20 with a validation of agar overlay TLC-bioautography technique.

Efficiency of RAPD, ISSR and ITS markers in detecting genetic variability among Salacia species sampled from the Western Ghats of Karnataka.

Diversity and phylogenetic relationship between four closely related Salacia species, i.e., Salacia chinensis, Salacia macrosperma, Salacia fruticosa and Salacia oblonga, collected from the Western Ghats of Karnataka, India, was assessed.
