Macrolactin A mediated biocontrol of and infestation on by BS-58.

Plant diseases are one of the main hurdles for successful crop production and sustainable agriculture development world-wide. Though several chemical measures are available to manage crop diseases, many of them have serious side effects on humans, animals and the environment. Therefore, the use of such chemicals must be limited by using effective and eco-friendly alternatives.

The changing paradigm of rhizobial taxonomy and its systematic growth upto postgenomic technologies.

Rhizobia are a diazotrophic group of bacteria that are usually isolated form the nodules in roots, stem of leguminous plants and are able to form nodules in the host plant owing to the presence of symbiotic genes. The rhizobial community is highly diverse, and therefore, the taxonomy and genera-wise classification of rhizobia has been constantly changing since the last three decades. This is mainly due to technical advancements, and shifts in definitions, resulting in a changing paradigm of rhizobia taxonomy.

Cyclic siloxane biosurfactant-producing Bacillus cereus BS14 biocontrols charcoal rot pathogen Macrophomina phaseolina and induces growth promotion in Vigna mungo L.

Rhizobacteria are vital component of soil-plant interfaces which helps in plant growth responses and disease management. Precisely, the role of biosurfactant production by rhizobacteria in biocontrol mechanisms is underscored. The current study explores the destructive effect of a biosurfactant-producing bacterium Bacillus cereus BS14 on fungal growth under in vitro experiments and showed in vivo reduction of disease severity in pulse crop Vigna mungo.

Diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of coronavirus disease: a review.

Introduction: Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) was first reported in Wuhan, China, in late December 2019 and subsequently, declared a pandemic. As of 3 June 2021, 172,493,290 individuals have acquired COVID-19 and 3,708,334 patients have died worldwide, according to the World Health Organization.

Areas Covered: This review explores epidemiology; virology; pathogenesis; genomic variations; mode of transmission; clinical occurrence; diagnosis; and treatment with antiviral agents, antibiotics, and supportive therapies.

Insights of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic: a current review.

COVID-19, a pandemic of the 21st century caused by novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 was originated from China and shallowed world economy and human resource. The medical cures via herbal treatments, antiviral drugs, and vaccines still in progress, and studying rigorously. SARS-CoV-2 is more virulent than its ancestors due to evolution in the spike protein(s), mediates viral attachment to the host's membranes.

Combined effects of rhizo-competitive rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere in plant growth promotion and yield improvement of (Ragi).

This study emphasizes the beneficial role of rhizo-competitive spp. isolated from rhizospheric and non-rhizospheric soil in plant growth promotion and yield improvement via nitrogen fixation and biocontrol of causing foot rot disease in (Ragi). The selection of potent rhizobacteria was based on plant-growth-promoting attributes using Venn set diagram and Bonitur scale.

Evaluation of Probiotic Potential and Safety Assessment of Lactobacillus pentosus MMP4 Isolated From Mare's Lactation.

Lactic acid bacteria isolated from indigenous milk of different animals were investigated for their efficacy, safety, and probiotic potential. The most potential isolate MMP4 was screened from mare's milk, which was further identified as Lactobacillus pentosus by using 16S rRNA gene sequencing and phylogeny. The probiotic potential of strain MMP4 was assessed by its ability to survive under acidic environment and in presence of bile salts along with the ability to inhibit food-borne as well as clinical pathogenic microorganisms such as Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Salmonella typhi.

Differential antagonistic responses of Bacillus pumilus MSUA3 against Rhizoctonia solani and Fusarium oxysporum causing fungal diseases in Fagopyrum esculentum Moench.

Chitinase and surfactin-mediated biocontrol of Rhizoctonia solani and Fusarium oxysporum causing wilt and root rot of Fagopyrum esculentum respectively has been studied in this communication. Bacillus pumilus MSUA3 as a potential bacterial strain strongly inhibited the growth of R. solani and F.

Termitarium-Inhabiting Bacillus spp. Enhanced Plant Growth and Bioactive Component in Turmeric (Curcuma longa L.).

Curcumin (diferuloyl methane) is the main bioactive component of turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) having remarkable multipotent medicinal and therapeutic applications. Two Bacilli isolated from termitarium soil and identified as Bacillus endophyticus TSH42 and Bacillus cereus TSH77 were used for bacterization of rhizome for raising C.
