Plant Growth-Promoting Bacteria (PGPB) integrated phytotechnology: A sustainable approach for remediation of marginal lands.

Land that has little to no utility for agriculture or industry is considered marginal land. This kind of terrain is frequently found on the edge of deserts or other arid regions. The amount of land that can be used for agriculture continues to be constrained by increasing desertification, which is being caused by climate change and the deterioration of agriculturally marginal areas.

Bioinoculants as mitigators of multiple stresses: A ray of hope for agriculture in the darkness of climate change.

Plant encounters various biotic and abiotic stresses, that affect agricultural productivity and reduce farmer's income especially under changing global climate. These environmental stresses can advance plant senescence by inducing osmotic stress, nutrient stress, hormonal imbalance, production of oxygen radicals, and ion toxicity, etc. Additionally, these stresses are not limited to plant health but also deteriorate soil health by affecting the microbial diversity of soil.

Current Perspectives on Chitinolytic Enzymes and Their Agro-Industrial Applications.

Chitinases are a large and diversified category of enzymes that break down chitin, the world's second most prevalent polymer after cellulose. GH18 is the most studied family of chitinases, even though chitinolytic enzymes come from a variety of glycosyl hydrolase (GH) families. Most of the distinct GH families, as well as the unique structural and catalytic features of various chitinolytic enzymes, have been thoroughly explored to demonstrate their use in the development of tailor-made chitinases by protein engineering.

Arabinofuranosidases: Characteristics, microbial production, and potential in waste valorization and industrial applications.

Alpha-L-arabinofuranoside arabinofuranohydrolase (ARA), more commonly known as alpha-L-arabinofuranosidase (E.C. number 3.

Study of candida and Trichomonas vaginalis in Leucorrhoea.

Of 150 clinically suspected cases of leucorrhoea, 44 cases (29.33%) showed growth of candida and 30 cases (20%) of trichomonas, by wet preparation. Among the candida species the most frequent isolate was C albicans (56.

Dermatomycoses in and Around Jamnagar.

1 Three hundred clin ically diagnosed cases of dermatomycoses attending the skin out patients department, Irwin Group of Hospital, Jamnagar were studied mycologically. Dermatomycosis were found in 216 cases (72 percent) either by direct smear examination or by culture or by both. The commonest genus isolated was Trichophyton (79.
