Identification of bio-active secondary metabolites from Actinobacteria as potential drug targets against in oral squamous cell carcinoma using molecular docking and dynamics study.

Unlabelled: Chronic periodontitis caused by the bacteria is thought to be a risk factor for the advancement of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Virulence factors of include gingipains, outer membrane surface lipoproteins, and fimbriae contribute to the activation of oncogenic pathways in OSCC by up-regulating different cytokines. Gingipains (Arg and Lys) proteases have an important role in the activation of proMMP-9, which promotes cellular invasion and metastatic ability of OSCC.

Halotolerant PGPB Staphylococcus sciuri ET101 protects photosynthesis through activation of redox dissipation pathways in Lycopersicon esculentum.

Photosynthesis is known to be seriously affected by salt stress. The stress induced membrane damage leads to disrupted photosynthetic components causing imbalance between production and utilization of ATP/NADPH with generation of ROS leading to photoinhibition and photodamage. In the current study, role of halotolerant plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPB) Staphylococcus sciuri ET101 in protection of photosynthesis in tomato plants during salinity stress was evaluated by analysing changes in antioxidant defense and activation of redox dissipation pathways.

Protection of Photosynthesis by Halotolerant ET101 in Tomato () and Rice () Plants During Salinity Stress: Possible Interplay Between Carboxylation and Oxygenation in Stress Mitigation.

Tomato () and rice () are the two most important agricultural crops whose productivity is severely impacted by salinity stress. Soil salinity causes an irreversible damage to the photosynthetic apparatus in plants at all developmental stages leading to significant reduction in agricultural productivity. Reduction in photosynthesis is the primary response that is observed in all glycophytic plants during salt stress.
