Antimicrobial peptides are diverse group of biologically active molecules with multidimensional properties. In recent past, a wide variety AMPs structures have been reported from different sources such as plants, animals, mammals, and microorganisms. The presence unusual amino acids structural motifs in confers unique properties to the peptide that attribute for their specific mode action. ability these act multifunctional effector signalling molecule, immune modulators, mitogen, antitumor,...
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death worldwide. An expanding body evidence supports role human microbiome in establishment CVDs and, this has gained much attention recently. This work was aimed to study circulating CVD patients and healthy subjects. The levels cell free DNA (circDNA) higher (n = 80) than controls 40). More specifically, relative bacterial ratio 16S rRNA/β-globin gene copy numbers were circulation individuals. In addition, we found a microbial...
We have developed a number of broad-host-range plasmids that allow the expression Escherichia coli lac operon from any cloned promoter, and creation 'in phase' fusions between lacZ other genes. In second series constructions, E. gal has been into vector plasmid carrying both genes is described. These transferred Pseudomonas aeruginosa Zymomonas mobilis their effects on utilisation lactose galactose investigated.
Abstract Metagenomic DNA isolated from goat skin surface was used to construct plasmid library in Escherichia coli DH10B. Recombinant clones were screened for functional protease activity on skim milk agar plates. Upon screening 70,000 clones, a clone carrying recombinant pSP1 exhibited activity. In vitro transposon mutagenesis and sequencing of the insert this revealed an ORF 1890 bp encoding protein with 630 amino acids which showed significant sequence homology peptidase S8 S53 subtilisin...
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a multidrug-resistant pathogen and one of the leading causes nosocomial infection worldwide. Probiotic bacteria play significant role in preventive or therapeutic interventions gastrointestinal infections human as well animals. In this study, we have investigated adhesion property probiotic strain Lactobacillus fermentum MTCC 8711 its ability to prevent MRSA colon adenocarcinoma cells, Caco-2. We shown that L. could efficiently adhere...
Catalogue of Somatic Mutations in Cancer (COSMIC) (http://www.sanger.ac.uk/cosmic) is a publicly available resource providing information on somatic mutations implicated human cancer. Release v51 (January 2011) includes data from just over 19 000 genes, 161 787 coding and 5573 gene fusions, described more than 577 tumour samples. COSMICMart (COSMIC BioMart) provides flexible way to mine these combine with other biological relevant sets. This article describes the COSMIC along examples how...
With the advent of Green Revolution, there has been a quantum leap in use synthetic herbicides and pesticides throughout world to sustain high yielding crop varieties. Continuous these chemicals leads loss soil fertility organisms. To explore effect exposure commercial herbicide (Butachlor) on life history parameters (biomass, clitellum development, cocoon production) histological changes earthworm Eisenia fetida over 60 days, dried cow dung was contaminated with 0.2575 mg<mml:math...
Abstract Enterobacter cloacae GS1 was isolated by in‐planta enrichment of a rice rhizoplane bacterial community. It displayed strong seed adherence ability (2.5 × 10 5 cfu/seed) and colonized roots reaching up to 1.65 9 cfu/g fresh root weight in gnotobiotic colonization system. E. motile, able solubilize tricalcium phosphate, produced indole acetic acid like substances (15 μg/ml). As an introduced bioinoculant non‐sterile soil, significantly improved the weight, length, shoot nitrogen...
Bacterial, small RNAs were once regarded as potent regulators of gene expression and are now being considered essential for their diversified roles. Many reported to have a wide array regulatory functions, ranging from environmental sensing pathogenesis. Traditionally, noncoding transcripts rarely detected by means genetic screens. However, the availability approximately 2200 prokaryotic genome sequences in public databases facilitates efficient computational search those molecules, followed...
