Dye wastewater discharged after improper treatment is very harmful for environment and living creatures. As per mandate, the dye should be treated well in order to prevent any negative effects discharge. Although there are various methods which use, however most of these have some or other associated disadvantages i.e., high cost, generation secondary pollutants, low efficiency, complexity etc. The objective this study identify degradation (orange blue dye-individually/mixture) potential...
Hirsutella thompsonii (Ht) is a fungal pathogen of acarines and the primary cause epizootics among mites. The draft genomes two isolates Ht (MTCC 3556: Ht3, 34.6 Mb MTCC 6686: Ht6, 34.7 Mb) are presented compared with Beauveria bassiana (Bb) ARSEF 2860 Ophiocordyceps sinensis (Os) CO18. Comparative analysis carbohydrate active enzymes, pathogen-host interaction genes, metabolism-associated genes involved in biosynthesis secondary metabolites four was carried out. Reduction gene family sizes...
Beauveria is an insect-associated fungal genus and it represents a monophyletic lineage within the Cordycipitaceae (Hypocreales, Sordariomycetes).Beauveria species are economically important as mycoinsecticides good source of secondary metabolites.In this study, we employed genealogical concordance phylogenetic recognition criterion to resolve evolutionary relationships 125 Beauveria-like isolates from India.In ITS-based analysis, 111 clustered clade (Cordycipitaceae), while 14 showed...
Aschersonia badia [(Ab) Teleomorph: Hypocrella siamensis] is an entomopathogenic fungus that specifically infects scale insects and whiteflies. We present the whole genome sequence of Ab its comparison with two clavicipitaceous fungi Metarhizium robertsii (MR: generalist entomopathogen) M. acridum (MAC: acridid-specific exhibit variable host preferences. Here, through comparative analysis pathogen-host interacting genes, carbohydrate active enzymes, secondary metabolite biosynthesis...
Rapid urbanization is the major cause for Land Use and Cover changes globally. The alters land surface dynamics affects temperature, which gives rise to urban heat island effect. In present study, spatial correlation analysis has been done between Surface Temperature (LST) (LULC) city of Chandigarh. LST retrieved from Landsat-8 thermal band using Mono-Window algorithm shows 2.5°C increase temperature 2016 2022. LULC derived Maximum Likelihood Classifier (MLC) an in built-up 7.56% decrease...
Mycoremediation, a form of bioremediation facilitated by fungi, has been employed for the biodegradation azo dyes, including congo red, acid and basic blue. In this study, four fungal isolates, namely Aspergillus niger, piperis, Penicillium oxalicum, chrysogenum, obtained from dye effluent were used. Four methods selected, solid media accumulation, liquid under stationary shaking conditions at 28°C, biosorption using dead biomass. For first time, we report involvement isolated species A....
Beauveria bassiana is an insect-associated fungal species and it economically important as environment-friendly mycoinsecticide a good source of biologically active secondary metabolites.In this study, we employed DNA microsatellite markers to investigate the infraspecific diversity 102 isolates B. sensu stricto from India.All were easily amplifiable for all provided genotype resolution.The analysis indicated presence highly polymorphic, randomly distributed populations with variable host...
Identification is a very important part of the taxonomy. Since species represents basic unit biological classification, identifying to understand systematics and precise phylogenetic position particular species. In recent years, identification delimitation have seen major improvements because incorporation DNA sequence data. This review provides comprehensive list commonly employed nuclear chloroplast regions used for barcoding plants.
