Gut microbes play a crucial role in the maintenance of human health. Components diet host affect their metabolism and diversity. Here, we investigated influences three commonly used non-caloric artificial sweeteners-aspartame, acesulfame K sucralose-on growth an omnipresent gut microbe Escherichia coli K-12. Methods: Growth E. presence aspartame, sucralose media was assessed these sweeteners on were by relative expression analysis genes encoding rate limiting steps important metabolic...

Aquatic plants are generally considered as breeding grounds for mosquitoes and other harmful vectors of diseases. However, in recent years, some research has been carried out to test their significance sources antimicrobial lead molecules. The aim this was study the phytochemical composition local aquatic plant species effect against selected bacterial strains. Three different samples were collected from a large water body near Dhaka. Ethanol ethyl acetate extracts species: Eichhornia...

Costus speciosus (J. Koenig) Sm., commonly known as crepe ginger, is primarily used an ornamental plant worldwide. The aim of this research was to study the phytoconstituents locally collected C. samples and test their antimicrobial effect against selected bacterial strains. Phytochemical analysis showed presence alkaloids, flavonoids, steroids, phenolic compounds, tannins, glycosides, cardiac glycosides in extracts. extracts displayed variable degrees antibacterial activity microorganisms a...

Venoms that drip from the fangs of snakes are incredibly complex chemical cocktails compounds, with different proteins and enzymes, including a large variety toxins like myotoxins, cardiotoxins, hemotoxins, neurotoxins their countless combinations. In addition to use in treatment snake bites humans, they have numerous therapeutic medicinal applications. Potential venom includes excessive bleeding, stroke, neurological disorders, cancer, diabetes aging. Therefore, proper understanding toxin...

Cervical cancer ranks as the fourth most prevalent gynaecological malignancy and is a significant contributor to mortality among women globally. With exception of HPV-mediated oncogenesis, molecular etiology disease poorly understood, there critical dearth knowledge concerning that not caused by HPV. Moreover, none options presently accessible for treatment cancers specifically target cervical cancer. In context with this, this research aims identify genes, regulators, pathways contribute...

The rise in popularity of non-caloric sweeteners (NCS) among obese and diabetic patients is due to their ability provide a sweet taste without any caloric input. However, NCS consumption may be linked metabolic disorders. mechanisms behind these adverse effects are still unclear, which suggests that alter the activity gut microbiome, leading enteric environmental perturbation resulting physiological anomalies host. This study investigates how Escherichia coli, common microbe, reacts three...
