Bioactive compound from marine seagrass Streptomyces argenteolus TMA13: combatting fish pathogens with time-kill kinetics and live-dead cell imaging.

Actinobacteria, pervasive in aquatic and terrestrial environments, exhibit a filamentous morphology, possess DNA with a specific G + C content and production of numerous secondary metabolites. This study, focused on actinobacteria isolated from marine seagrass, investigating their antibacterial activity against fish pathogens. Among 28 isolates, Streptomyces argenteolus TMA13 displayed the maximum zone of inhibition against fish pathogens-Aeromonas hydrophila (10 mm), Aeromonas caviae (22 mm), Edwardsiella tarda (17 mm), Vibrio harveyi (22 mm) and Vibrio anguillarum (12 mm) using the agar plug method.

Valorization of chick feather wastes by Geobacillus thermodenitrificans PS41 to enhance the growth of Vigna unguiculata plant and Cyprinus carpio fish.

Chicken feather meal has had a significant biofertilizer approach in recent years. The current study aims to assess feather biodegradation to promote plant and fish growth. The Geobacillus thermodenitrificans PS41 strain was more efficient in feather degradation.

Biodegradation of neonicotinoid insecticide acetamiprid by earthworm gut bacteria Brucella intermedium PDB13 and its ecotoxicity.

Extensive use of neonicotinoid insecticides in recent decade had contaminated water and soil systems and poses serious environmental and health risk. Microbial degradation of toxic contaminants in the environment has been established as a sustainable tool towards its remediation. Under this context, the present study focused on the biodegradation of neonicotinoid insecticide acetamiprid, by bacterial strain Brucella intermedia PDB13 isolated from the gut of the acetamiprid exposed earthworms.

Larvicidal, antioxidant and biotoxicity assessment of (2-(((2-ethyl-2 methylhexyl)oxy)carbonyl)benzoic acid isolated from Bacillus pumilus against Aedes aegypti, Anopheles stephensi and Culex quinquefasciatus.

Mosquitoes are a vector for many dreadful diseases known for their public health concern. The continued use of synthetic insecticides against vector control has led to serious environmental impacts, human health problems, and the development of insect resistance. Hence, alternative mosquito control methods are needed to protect the environment and human health.

A novel feather-degrading bacterial isolate Geobacillus thermodenitrificans PS41 isolated from poultry farm soil.

The aim of this present work was to explore the potential feather-degrading bacterial isolates were isolated from poultry farm soil. Isolation and screening of keratinase-producing bacterial isolates were performed in keratin agar medium. The potential keratinase-producing bacterial isolates were identified using morphological, biochemical and molecular characterization.

Bio-efficacy of Geobacillus thermodenitrificans PS41 against larvicidal, fungicidal, and plant growth-promoting activities.

The microbial interactions with plant hosts were known to establish plant growth and beneficial productivity. Some bacteria, fungi, actinomycetes, yeast, and algae have proven as potential effective microbes in agricultural field. In this study, the insecticidal effect of Geobacillus thermodenitrificans PS41 secondary metabolites was tested against third instar larvae of Spodoptera litura, with mortality rate 60.

Biosequestration of carbon dioxide using carbonic anhydrase from novel Streptomyces kunmingensis.

The increase in the atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide due to anthropogenic interventions has led to several undesirable consequences, notably global warming and related changes. Avoidance of and/or removal of carbon dioxide will result in the reduction of global warming. Biosequestration of carbon by using carbonic anhydrase (CA) as biocatalyst is one of most effective approaches.

Production, Purification, and Biochemical Characterization of Thermostable Metallo-Protease from Novel Bacillus alkalitelluris TWI3 Isolated from Tannery Waste.

Protease enzymes in tannery industries have enormous applications. Seeking a potential candidate for efficient protease production has emerged in recent years. In our study, we sought to isolate proteolytic bacteria from tannery waste dumping site in Tamilnadu, India.
