Hetero-exopolysaccharide secreted by Bacillus tequilensis FR9 (BtqEPS), was produced and fractioned on DEAE-Sepharose and phenyl sepharose CL-6B column. HPLC analysis revealed the existence of five monosaccharides including glucose, galactose, mannose, arabinose and xylose. FT-IR spectroscopy confirmed the presence of carboxyl and hydroxyl groups. H NMR and C NMR spectra analysis showed the presence of α and β-d-(+)-glucose residues and glycosidic linkages. The fibrous, porous nature and elemental composition (C, O, N, Cl, Na, P, S) of BtqEPS was inferred from SEM and EDX analysis. AFM proved that the micro-structure of BtqEPS is compact and rough. XRD analysis confirmed the amorphous nature of BtqEPS with 15.6% crystallinity index. TGA curve indicated the degradation temperature (T) of 239.72°C. Furthermore, BtqEPS exhibited antioxidant effects by scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS) and demonstrated strong reducing power. All the above findings on BtqEPS paves way to find novel insights of its potential applications in industries.

Levan canopies a pivotal role in all the emerging sectors owing to its non-toxic and biodegradable nature. However, their expensive production impeded their commercialization and made them uneconomical. Hence the current work is focused on harnessing the pineapple peel as a viable substrate for bacterial fermentation to promote levan production.

Over the past few decades, there has been increasing interest in using probiotics as an alternative to antibiotics. Researchers have conducted studies to investigate bacterial strains for their probiotic potential. Like other animals, fish also have several bacterial strains in their gut that possess probiotic properties, although this is limited to Bacillus species.

Article Synopsis
- The cultivation of certain plants is being threatened by wilt disease, which is impacting large-scale production.
- Researchers analyzed microbial communities in diseased plants, screening both harmful and beneficial strains to understand the disease better and find prevention methods.
- They discovered several pathogenic strains causing severe wilt and identified antagonistic strains that can help alleviate the disease, suggesting that combining specific microbes may effectively control the wilt disease in related plants.

Background: a blueberry gray mold, is one of the main diseases affecting postharvest storage, causing significant losses. Several studies have shown that can prevent the growth of plant pathogens by producing various antibacterial substances, and can induce plant resistance. However, research on the biological management of post-harvest gray mold in blueberries using remains unclear.
