An adequate supply of mineral nutrients is crucial to obtain optimum productivity in agriculture. The present investigation was carried to find the inoculation effect of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), i.e., Paenibacillus lentimorbus B-30488 (B-30488), Bacillus amyloliquefaciens SN13 (SN13) and their consortium for the growth of rice var. Sarju-52, grown under suboptimal nutrient conditions. The study revealed that the individual PGPR treatments showed comparatively better performance than consortia in morphological, physiological, biochemical, and nutrient analysis. Towards understanding the complex mechanism(s), untargeted metabolite profiling was performed using GC-MS, showed alteration of metabolites in rice seedlings facing suboptimal nutrient conditions and inoculated with PGPR. Metabolites such as oleic acid, mannitol, and ethyl iso-allocol were accumulated significantly under starved conditions. Under suboptimal nutrient conditions, sugars such as ribose, glucose, fructose, trehalose, palmitic acid, and myristic acid were accumulated significantly in PGPR inoculated seedlings. The significantly altered pathways due to PGPR inoculation under suboptimal nutrient conditions mainly belongs to carbohydrate and fatty acid metabolism. Interestingly, it was observed that among all the treatments, inoculation with SN13 performed comparatively better than other treatments. Further, in SN13 inoculated samples the qRT-PCR analysis of transcription factors and metabolism-related genes were validated that indicates PGPR deploy metabolic re-programming in rice var. Sarju-52 to enhance its nutrient use efficiency, tolerance, and growth under suboptimum nutrient conditions.

Constructed wetlands (CWs) with low carbon properties represented an effective approach for treating low-polluted water and improving water quality. Here, a research scheme was proposed to achieve maximum operation benefits of the large-scale CWs through parameter identification, operation simulation, evaluation, and analysis of the water quality process. Based on the two-dimensional water hydrodynamic model coupling with the Eco-Lab water quality module (with nutrients), simulation for Bagong hybrid CWs was successfully conducted.

A comprehensive study was conducted on the life history parameters of an important vector Culicoides oxystoma Kieffer (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae), to standardize potential rearing procedures. Data on life history traits and rearing conditions are crucial for establishing laboratory colony and conducting vector competence-based studies utilizing specimens with a known rearing history. Six different substrate compositions were used to rear the larvae: S1: habitat mud containing cattle manure + nutrient broth + yeast, S2: yeast, S3: habitat mud containing cattle manure + nutrient broth, S4: nutrient broth, S5: sterile (habitat mud consisting cattle manure + nutrient broth + yeast) and S6: tap water.

Background And Objectives: Lipid metabolism in older adults is affected by various factors including biological aging, functional decline, reduced physiologic reserve, and nutrient intake. The dysregulation of lipid metabolism could adversely affect brain health. This study investigated the association between year-to-year intraindividual lipid variability and subsequent risk of cognitive decline and dementia in community-dwelling older adults.

Biofilm, complex structures formed by microorganisms within an extracellular polymeric matrix, pose significant challenges in the sector by harboring dangerous pathogens and complicating decontamination, thereby increasing the risk of foodborne illnesses. This article provides a comprehensive review of the sigma factor, 's role in biofilm development, specifically in gram-negative bacteria, and how the genetic, environmental, and regulatory elements influence activity with its critical role in bacterial stress responses. Our findings reveal that is a pivotal regulator of biofilm formation, enhancing bacterial survival in adverse conditions.
