Biofilm formation is a major threat to the society, as it adds severity of bacterial infection making antimicrobial agents ineffective. In present study, antibacterial and antibiofilm activity Zingiber officinale Rosc. (Ginger) rhizome essential oil (EO) was evaluated against multi-drug resistant (MDR) Escherichia coli (3.125 μl/ml) Klebsiella pneumonia μl/ml), Enterococcus faecalis (0.78 Staphylococcus aureus (1.56 bacteria. Percentage biofilm inhibition by EO found be highest S. (94 %)...
Lipase based formulations has been a rising interest to laundry detergent industry for their eco-friendly property over phosphate-based counterparts and compatibility with chemical detergents ingredients. A thermo-stable Anoxybacillus sp. ARS-1 isolated from Taptapani Hotspring, India was characterized optimum lipase production employing statistical model central composite design (CCD) under four independent variables (temperature, pH, % moisture bio-surfactant) by solid substrate...
The emergence and outbreak of colistin-resistant CRKP (carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae) have been the major global public threat in recent years. Present study emphasized genome-wide distribution, characterization drug resistance virulence genes an extremely drug-resistant (XDR) pneumoniae strain isolated from a patient with drug-induced hepatitis, hospitalized tertiary care facility India. total genomic DNA was sequenced using Illumina Hiseq platform. De novo assembly reads done...
Molecular techniques play a critical role in studies of phylogeny and, thus, have been applied to understand the distribution and extent genetic variation within between species. In present study, analysis was undertaken using molecular markers (9 ISSR 13 SSR) on 60 ginger cultivars from different regions eastern coast India (Odisha). The data obtained with 22 polymorphic revealed moderate high diversity collection. Both SSR were efficient distinguishing all cultivars. A total 42 160 bands...
Two ecologically distinct tropical sulfur-rich alkaline hot springs, Taptapani at 48°C harboring mesophiles and Atri 58°C comprising thermophiles situated in the Eastern Ghats foothills of India, differ their geochemical conditions, provide an interesting platform to unravel eco-physiological reasons behind differential cyanobacterial diversity. The predominance mesophilic Arthronema (83.81%) shifting thermophilic Leptolyngbya (96.25%) as discovered through 16S rRNA gene Illumina sequencing...
Odisha (East India) is home to several hot springs, of which Atri and Taptapani are the two with variation in temperature located Mahanadi geothermal province having altitude 120 1800 ft., respectively, above sea level. Average spring as higher 58 ± 5°C compared 48 Taptapani. In-depth analysis microbial diversity these springs through 16S rRNA deep sequencing analysis, targeting V3 region was performed using Illumina bar-coded platform. Existence (1662 OTUs; 2708 species) (1561 Operational...
This study investigated the draft genome and phylogeny of an extremely drug-resistant novel sequence type Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from a paediatric bloodstream infection.An isolate 7-year-old child with severe respiratory infection was identified, whole sequenced using Illumina MiSeq platform. High-quality reads were de novo assembled via Unicycler annotated PROKKA. Antimicrobial resistance genes, virulence factors, plasmid phage sequences identified gene identifier, VFanalyzer,...
Ginger (Zingiber officinale Rosc.), a well-known member of family Zingiberaceae, is bestowed with number medicinal properties which because the secondary metabolites, essential oil and oleoresin, it contains in its rhizome. The drug yielding potential known to depend on agro-climatic conditions prevailing at place cultivation. Present study deals comparative transcriptome analysis two sample elite ginger variety Suprabha collected from different zones Odisha. Transcriptome assembly for both...
The emergence of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae has been increasing rapidly across the world. presence virulence factors in ESBL producers further adds to pathogenicity and severity infection, which often complicate empirical therapy sometimes result treatment failures. In present study, 227 non-repeated clinical isolates K. obtained from different specimens a tertiary care hospital India were analyzed detect genes responsible for production (blaTEM,...
Zingiber officinale Rosc., known as ginger, is an Asian crop, popularly used in every household kitchen and commercially bakery, beverage, food pharmaceutical industries. The present study deals with de novo transcriptome assembly of elite ginger cultivar Suruchi by next generation sequencing methodology. From the analysis 10.9 GB raw data was obtained which can be available NCBI accession number SAMN03761185. We identified 41,969 transcripts using Trinity RNA-Seq from rhizome variety...
Thermal springs have been the most resourceful ecological niches to understand intricacies of microbial community structure building. In present study, was investigated in five ecologically different hot springs. The highest number OTUs observed at low temperatures (42 °C) whereas an increasing unclassified bacteria with a temperature rise. statistical correlation predicted that temperature, total dissolved solids and ions were primary environmental factors controlling composition diversity....
The present study revealed the emergence of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) and associated driving factors in an urban river system surrounding Cuttack city, Odisha. high contamination factor degree indicate poor water quality. CRKP isolates showed 100% resistance against piperacillin, amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, piperacillin-tazobactam, ceftriaxone, ceftazidime, meropenem, imipenem but less to colistin (12.85%). Among isolates, carbapenemase genes blaNDM, blaOXA-48-like,...
Worldwide concern about the energy security and search for alternate source as fuel has created attention because of increased demand fast depleting nonrenewable resources fuel.In order to meet increasing demand, we need approach sustainable, cost-effective alternates which should be able cater unlimited resource utilization potential.Among next-generation biofuels, butanol is one shows ability both current upcoming future crisis over existing its distinguished merits; high density, air-fuel...
