Structural and Functional Analysis of Groundnut bud necrosis virus (GBNV) Using Computational and Biochemical Approaches.

Groundnut bud necrosis virus (GBNV) belonging to the genus Orthotospovirus is transmitted by its vector Thrips palmi. It is a tri-segmented RNA virus that consists of L, M, and S RNA segments. We analysed the secondary structure features of GBNV proteins through various software and predicted the transmembrane helix, glycosylation, and signal peptidase sites within the GBNV protein sequences (G, G, N, NSm, and NSs).

Light-Dependent Nitrate Removal Capacity of Green Microalgae.

In the present study, sp. MACC-216 was used to investigate total nitrate removal in TAP medium with sodium nitrate as the sole nitrogen source under several light conditions made up of permuted combinations of three light colors (referred to as blue, red, and white light) and three light intensities (50 µmol m s, 100 µmol m s, and 250 µmol m s). It was observed that nitrate removal efficiency is influenced by light color as well as light intensity.

Assessment of Nitrate Removal Capacity of Two Selected Eukaryotic Green Microalgae.

Eutrophication is a leading problem in water bodies all around the world in which nitrate is one of the major contributors. The present study was conducted to study the effects of various concentrations of nitrate on two eukaryotic green microalgae, sp. MACC-216 and sp.
