The protective effect of different vaccines against the killing activity of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Vibrio parahaemolyticus for mice was studied. Cross experiments confirmed the high protective effect of the Pseudomonas common antigen (original endotoxin protein) contained in Pseudomonas vaccine, which, together with other soluble components, substantial afforded protection of mice against vibrios and thus confirmed the antigenic relationship between Pseudomonas and Vibrio. Satisfactory results were also obtained by vaccination with selected bacterial endotoxin lipopolysaccharides derived from some members of the Enterobacteriaceae family, which in some cases afforded 70-90% and in others only a 20-50% protection against Pseudomonas and Vibrio infection. The protective effect was reduced by up to 2/3 was obtained with vaccines subjected to alkaline hydrolysis. A single dose of Propionibacterium parvum cells not followed by specific vaccination afforded up to 50% protection against challenge with P. aeruginosa or V. parahaemolyticus. Special characteristics of the vaccines studied and their protective effects in relation to some immunological aspects of nonspecific resistance are discussed.

With the intensification of aquaculture to meet the rising demands of fish and shellfish, disease outbreaks during the larval and adult stages are a major challenge faced by aqua culturists. As the prophylactic use of vaccines and antibiotics has several limitations, research is now focused on sustainable alternatives to vaccines and antibiotics, e.g.

Seven previously undescribed polyketide derivatives, fusariumtides A-G (1-7), together with three known analogues (8-10), were isolated from the culture extract of Fusarium asiaticum QA-6, an endophytic fungus obtained from the fresh stem tissue of the medicinal plant Artemisia argyi H. Lev. & Vaniot.

For any organism, survival is enhanced by the ability to sense and respond to threats in advance. For bacteria, danger sensing among kin cells has been observed, but the presence or impacts of general danger signals are poorly understood. Here we show that different bacterial species use exogenous peptidoglycan fragments, which are released by nearby kin or non-kin cell lysis, as a general danger signal.

The discharge of untreated dye waste from various industrial sectors into wastewater poses significant environmental and health risks. This study presents an innovative approach by developing a cost-effective and eco-friendly hybrid mesoporous nanocomposite, silver nanoparticles@mesoporous mango peel-derived carbon (AgNPs@MMC), synthesized from agricultural waste (mango peels) and urban waste (X-ray film waste). The core objectives of this work are: (i) recycling agricultural and urban waste to produce valuable materials; (ii) achieving effective removal of methyl violet 10B (MV10B) through simultaneous adsorption and photocatalytic degradation; and (iii) evaluating the antimicrobial properties of the developed material.
