In this study dairy sludge was evaluated as an alternative cultivation medium for Rhizobium. Growth of bacterial strains at different concentrations of Dairy sludge was monitored. Maximum growth of all strains was observed at 60% Dairy sludge concentration. At 60% optical density (OD) values are 0.804 for Rhizobium trifolii (MTCC905), 0.825 for Rhizobium trifolii (MTCC906), and 0.793 for Rhizobium meliloti (MTCC100). Growth pattern of strains was observed at 60% Dairy sludge along with different synthetic media (tryptone yeast, Rhizobium minimal medium and yeast extract mannitol). Growth in 60% Dairy sludge was found to be superior to standard media used for Rhizobium. Media were optimized using 60% dairy sludge along with different concentrations of yeast extract (1-7 g/L) and mannitol (7-13 g/L) in terms of optical density at different time intervals, that is, 24, 48 and 72 hours. Maximum growth was observed in 6 g/L of yeast extract and 12 g/L of mannitol at 48-hour incubation period in all strains. The important environmental parameters such as pH were optimized using 60% dairy sludge, 60% dairy sludge +6 g/L yeast extract, and 60% dairy sludge +12 g/L mannitol. The maximum growth of all strains was found at pH 7.0. The present study recommends the use of 60% dairy sludge as a suitable growth medum for inoculant production.

In agricultural and waste management systems, dairy manure wastewater is often recycled for irrigation. However, a key challenge lies in handling suspended solids (SS) and effectively dewatering sludge. To address this, an innovative polycationic soybean protein-based flocculant (SPI+) was developed and applied to enhance flocculation and sludge dewatering efficiency.

This study aimed to explore the production of red pigment from Monascus purpureus in waste culture medium and its potential health benefits. Subsequently, the M. purpureus cultivated in a medium containing dairy sludge as waste, the extracted pigment was purified, and subjected to various analyses, including liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LCMS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to verify its purity, high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) to measure the citrinin levels, microbial, and antioxidant activity.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the potential of lytic bacteriophages as alternative therapies to combat antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria, particularly focusing on phages that target E. coli.
- Seven specific phage isolates were identified and analyzed through genome sequencing, revealing they possess double-stranded DNA with varying lengths and coding sequences, with most lacking tRNA genes.
- The findings suggest that these phages could be utilized in treating bacterial infections and provide essential data for developing phage-based control strategies and understanding phage genetics.

Article Synopsis
- * In a study conducted in Northwest Ethiopia from June 2022 to August 2023 across 58 dairy farms, 362 samples were tested for NTS, resulting in detection of 28 isolates (7.7%), with S. Uganda being the most prevalent serovar.
- * The study found that 100% of NTS isolates had the invA virulence gene, 21.4% had spvC, and a high proportion (89.3%) were resistant to at least

Article Synopsis
- Conducted thermal treatment of dairy sludge at temperatures from 200 °C to 1000 °C to analyze its chemical composition and degradation, focusing on primary components like lactose and casein.
- Employed various analytical techniques, including X-ray diffraction and FTIR, to identify compounds formed during treatment, revealing significant changes in the organic and inorganic structures of the sludge.
- The study suggests that thermal plasma treatment can effectively transform dairy sludge into a vitreous slag, highlighting its potential for environmental management and waste neutralization.
