This study aimed to isolate biosurfactant-producing and hydrocarbon-degrading actinomycetes from different soils using glycerol-asparagine and starch-casein media with an antifungal agent. The glycerol-asparagine agar exhibited the highest number of actinomycetes, with a white, low-opacity medium supporting pigment production and high growth. Biosurfactant analyses, such as drop collapse, oil displacement, emulsification, tributyrin agar test, and surface tension measurement, were conducted.

Despite numerous studies on transcriptional level regulation by single genes in drug producing , the global regulation based on epigenetic modification is not well explored. N4-methylcytosine (m4C), an abundant epigenetic marker in ' genome, but its regulatory mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we identify a m4C methyltransferase (SroLm3) in L30 and multi-omics studies were performed and revealed SroLm3 as a global regulator of secondary metabolism.

'Black stain' is a form of extrinsic staining affecting the buccal and palatal surfaces of primary and permanent teeth. It presents as an incomplete line of dark dots formed at the cervical third of the tooth, typically following the gingival margin and not extending to the proximal areas. There is no consensus on its prevalence, though it appears to vary between 2-20%, with an equal male and female distribution.

Exploring untapped microbial potentials in previously uncharted environments has become crucial in discovering novel secondary metabolites and enzymes for biotechnological applications. Among prokaryotes, actinomycetes are well recognized for producing a vast range of secondary metabolites and extracellular enzymes. In the present study, we have used surface sediments from 'Kadolkele' mangrove ecosystem located in the Negombo lagoon area, Sri Lanka, to isolate actinomycetes with bioactive potentials.

Foreign bodies in the maxillary sinus are infrequent findings with various organic and inorganic materials have been reported. Most are iatrogenic due to abnormal communications between the oral cavity and the sinus cavity, predominantly secondary to dental and oral procedures. Oroantral fistulas might be asymptomatic incidental findings or may present with sinusitis-related symptoms.
