In nature, plants exhibit various defense mechanisms to protect themselves from viral infection. Reported to harbor virus-inhibiting compounds like Ribosome inactivating proteins (RIPs). It's a matter of how we explore, identify, and utilize RIPs in managing a given stress. RIPs have been found to contain antiviral, anticancer, and neurotoxic effects and are used in various biomedical and agricultural fields. The expression of RIPs could be enhanced in plants to improve their defense against biotic and abiotic stresses. Identification of new RIPs and genetic sequencing led to the development of new phylogenetic theories. Studies on the interaction between RIPs and cells have increased the knowledge regarding the handling of exogenous proteins by cells. The review provides a brief historical preview, classification, mode of action, and broader applications with a special focus on managing plant viral diseases and concerns to mankind.

This research endeavor delved into the bactericidal mechanisms of CAP against Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa), employing both protein oxidation and transcriptome analysis for a comprehensive understanding. The findings unveiled that CAP treatment, through the generation of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) and Reactive Nitrogen Species (RNS), induced direct cell membrane disruption and intracellular protein oxidation.

African swine fever is a lethal disease with mortality rates approaching 100% in both domestic pigs and wild boars. With no effective vaccines or treatments available, there is an urgent need for new biologics to combat the African swine fever virus (ASFV). In this study, we isolated bacteria from the intestinal contents of wild boar using culture-based methods and identified them through 16S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) sequencing.

A whole-genome shotgun sequencing (sWGS) approach was applied to chicken clinical tracheal swab samples during metagenomics investigations to identify possible microorganisms among poultry with respiratory diseases. After applying shotgun sequencing, (ORT) and a putative prophage candidate were found in one of the swab samples. A multi-locus sequence typing (MLST) scheme of the ORT genome involved the adk, aroE, fumC, gdhA, pgi, and pmi genes.
