Article Synopsis
- * The research focuses on developing antivirals that target the virus's envelope protein, which is crucial for allowing the virus to interact with host cells.
- * After modeling the envelope protein and screening for potential drug candidates, two compounds (L4 and L3) showed promising binding affinities and stability, suggesting their potential as effective treatments, pending further laboratory testing.
Article Synopsis
- Feathers, often discarded by poultry industries, and X-ray films can be repurposed through protease production from the freshwater bacterium SARJS-2, leading to more sustainable practices.
- Optimization techniques like one-factor-at-a-time, Plackett Burman design, and response surface methodology significantly increased protease activity, which is effective in temperature ranges up to 75 °C and compatible with detergents.
- The protease shows promise for practical applications such as stain removal, feather degradation for fertilizer and animal feed, and silver recovery from X-ray films, positioning it as an eco-friendly solution for various industries.
This study was undertaken to evaluate the behaviour of vegetative cells and spores of four potent native toxigenic food isolates of Bacillus cereus as affected by selected time-temperature combinations used in processing of Indian traditional foods. The vegetative cells of B. cereus when subjected to sublethal heat treatments, individually, in different heating menstra showed a sigmoidal inactivation pattern, with D-values in the range of 3.
