Exploring the moderating effect of globalization, financial development and environmental degradation nexus: a roadmap to sustainable development.

Financial development is a multidimensional process that contributes to economic growth but sometimes it has a devastating effect on climate change. No country can achieve sustainable development goals without caring the environmental quality. The present study investigates the moderating role of globalization (KOF) in determining the financial development (FD) on environmental degradation in the SAARC countries from 1990 to 2020.

Humification evaluation and carbon recalcitrance of a rapid thermochemical digestate fertiliser from degradable solid waste for climate change mitigation in the tropics.

Indiscriminate, unhygienic and unscientific disposal of solid wastes poses significant risks leading to soil, water and air pollution. Abiotic and nonenzymatic rapid thermochemical processing technology provides a solution for the management of degradable solid waste at the source, converting it to organic digestate fertiliser within a day, thus overcoming the main drawback of the long time span required for composting. A study was performed to evaluate the maturity parameters and the extent of humification of the thermochemical digestate fertiliser and the raw biowaste substrate.

Revisiting the environmental impact of financial development on economic growth and carbon emissions: evidence from South Asian economies.

It is a global challenge to achieve sustainable economic growth by improving the environment. The present study discussed the role of the financial development sector in achieving sustainable economic growth and environmental quality in South Asian countries from 1990 to 2020 by controlling labour force participation, globalization, industrialization, and the education sector. A feasible generalized least squares (FGLS) panel data econometric technique has been used to check the relationship among the variables.

Ketamine-Induced Syndrome of Inappropriate Antidiuretic Hormone Secretion and Hyponatremia.

Ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic commonly used for the induction and maintenance of anesthesia and has a well-known role in analgesia. However, it also has the potential for addiction, which can lead to neurological, psychological, systemic, and biochemical consequences. In this case report, we are highlighting a rare case of a young Asian female with Ketamine addiction who presented with urinary complaints.

Genome analysis of Streptomyces sp. UH6 revealed the presence of potential chitinolytic machinery crucial for chitosan production.

Chitosan and its derivatives have numerous applications in wastewater treatment as bio-coagulants, flocculants and bio-adsorbents against both particulate and dissolved pollutants. Chitinolytic bacteria secrete an array of enzymes, which play crucial role in chitin to chitosan conversion. Consequently, there is a growing demand for identification and characterization of novel bacterial isolates with potential implications in chitosan production.

Chitinase-E from Chitiniphilus shinanonensis generates chitobiose from chitin flakes.

Enzymatic deconstruction of chitin to chitobiose is of significant interest in view of its various biological applications. Here we report detailed insights into the chitin degradation by chitinase-E from a chitinolytic bacterium Chitiniphilus shinanonensis (CsChiE). CsChiE was optimally active at 50 °C in 50 mM sodium phosphate pH-7.

Partner-triggered proteome changes in the cell wall of Bacillus sonorensis and roots of groundnut benefit each other.

Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) promote plant growth and activate defense response against phytopathogens. At the subcellular level plant-PGPR interaction is less understood, which would be essential for future improvement(s) of PGPR formulations. In a rigorous screening process, that also involved efficient PGPR strains, Bacillus sonorensis RS4 was selected to study partner-triggered interactions.

Key Residues Affecting Transglycosylation Activity in Family 18 Chitinases: Insights into Donor and Acceptor Subsites.

Understanding features that determine transglycosylation (TG) activity in glycoside hydrolases is important because it would allow the construction of enzymes that can catalyze controlled synthesis of oligosaccharides. To increase TG activity in two family 18 chitinases, chitinase D from Serratia proteamaculans ( SpChiD) and chitinase A from Serratia marcescens ( SmChiA), we have mutated residues important for stabilizing the reaction intermediate and substrate binding in both donor and acceptor sites. To help mutant design, the crystal structure of the inactive SpChiD-E153Q mutant in complex with chitobiose was determined.

Simple sequence repeats showing 'length preference' have regulatory functions in humans.

Simple sequence repeats (SSRs), simple tandem repeats (STRs) or microsatellites are short tandem repeats of 1-6 nucleotide motifs. They are twice as abundant as the protein coding DNA in the human genome and yet little is known about their functional relevance. Analysis of genomes across various taxa show that despite the instability associated with longer stretches of repeats, few SSRs with specific longer repeat lengths are enriched in the genomes indicating a positive selection.
