Developing biomaterials having wound healing properties within the search of a common man is the need of hour, particularly in developing and third world countries. Keeping this objective in view we have developed a wound dressing material, in sheet form, containing fish scale collagen (FSC) and physiologically clotted fibrin (PCF), both are by products of aqua food and meat industries respectively. To impart antimicrobial properties to the composite sheet, it was incorporated with Macrotyloma uniflorum plant extract (MPE). SEM pictures have shown that FSC:PCF:MPE composite has fibrous and porous surface which helps in transportation of oxygen as well as absorbing wound fluids and their evaporation. The biomaterials have shown 100% biocompatibility and the percentage cell viability was found to be above 89%. The FSC:PCF:MPE biocomposite film with required mechanical strength, biocompatibility and antimicrobial properties can be tried as a burn/wound dressing material.

Macrotyloma uniflorum is known for being a rich source of protein, fat, fiber, carbohydrates, vitamins, and micronutrients. Since ancient times, it has been used as a pulse and traditional remedy in the Himalayan Mountains for curing kidney and bladder stones, bronchitis, asthma, piles, leukoderma, and heart diseases. Horse gram contains bioactive compounds such as phenolic acids, flavonoids, and tannins, which contribute to its health advantages.

Plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) are of increased interest as they offer sustainable alternatives to the more common chemical fertilisers. Research, however, has increased into the use of PGPB as bioinoculants to improve yields. Legumes are known to interact with diazotroph PGPB which increase nutrient uptake, prevent pathogenic infections, and actively fix nitrogen.

Article Synopsis
- * Key findings included identifying high-yielding and stable genotypes (G1, G25, G3, G27) that outperformed the parent strain, with yield advantages ranging from 28.68% to 42.99%.
- * Nutritional analysis indicated variations in macronutrient levels, strong positive correlations between yield and protein, and highlighted the potential of G1 and G25 for specific food products like pastries and weaning foods, respectively.

Microorganisms have become more resistant to pesticides, which increases their ability to invade and infect crops resulting in decreased crop productivity. The rhizosphere plays a crucial role in protecting plants from harmful invaders. The purpose of the study was to investigate the antagonistic efficiency of indigenous rhizospheric fungal isolates against phytopathogens of M.
