Valorisation of algal biomass to value-added metabolites: emerging trends and opportunities.

Algal biomass is a promising feedstock for sustainable production of a range of value-added compounds and products including food, feed, fuel. To further augment the commercial value of algal metabolites, efficient valorization methods and biorefining channels are essential. Algal extracts are ideal sources of biotechnologically viable compounds loaded with anti-microbial, anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancerous and several therapeutic and restorative properties.

(Linnaeus, 1758) on biochemical and nutritional composition levels are altered by infection.

The present study comprises the biochemical and nutritional composition level of control and infected host of with . The healthy species were collected from the Therespuram coast, Southeast coast of India. After the acclimatization period, 15 snails were selected and infected with seven different bacterial pathogens by intramuscular injection.

DYRK1A-related intellectual disability: a syndrome associated with congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract.

Purpose: Haploinsufficiency of DYRK1A causes a recognizable clinical syndrome. The goal of this paper is to investigate congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) and genital defects (GD) in patients with DYRK1A variants.

Methods: A large database of clinical exome sequencing (ES) was queried for de novo DYRK1A variants and CAKUT/GD phenotypes were characterized.

Organic removal and synthesis of biopolymer from synthetic oily bilge water using the novel mixed bacterial consortium.

Synthetic oily bilge water (OBW) treatment and subsequent production of biopolymer were studied by using a sequential batch reactor (SBR). The effect of various influencing parameters such as solids retention time (SRT), cycle time (CT), substrate concentration, pH level on the organic removal and synthesis of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) was examined by novel soil bacteria isolated from hydrocarbon contaminated site near Karaikal port, India. The isolates were identified as Pseudomonas tuomuerensis and Pseudomonas nitroreducens using 16S rRNA.
