Whole genome analysis and functional characterization of a novel Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt 62) isolate against sugarcane white grub Holotrichia serrata (F).

In this study, we report the whole genome assembly of Bt 62, a novel isolate harbouring cry8 holotype gene identified by us earlier. Sequencing was carried out using a combination of Illumina NextSeq 500 and Oxford Nanopore sequencing Technologies (ONT). The final assembled genome was 6.

Comparative Study on the Vaginal Flora and Incidence of Asymptomatic Vaginosis among Healthy Women and in Women with Infertility Problems of Reproductive Age.

Introduction: The normal vaginal flora is highly complex, dominated by lactobacilli of doderlein that plays a vital role in maintaining the women's health and inhibits other pathogenic microorganisms. Fluctuation in local environment or exposure to any exogenous and endogenous sources changes the vaginal flora over a period of time. Disruption of the vaginal ecosystem changes the microflora of the healthy vagina, altering the pH and predisposing to lower reproductive tract infections.

Characterization of a granulosis virus from the castor semilooper, Achaea janata L.

The granulosis virus isolated from Achaea janata is composed of capsules (463 +/- 25 x 280 +/- 22 nm) which contain single virus particles. The virus particles (274 +/- 9 x 95 +/- 4 nm) contain nucleocapsids (297 +/- 7 x 52 +/- 2 nm) within an envelope. The empty capsids measured 265 +/- 9 x 63 +/- 3 nm.
