An extracellular thermo-alkali stable chitinase was obtained from Streptomyces chilikensis RC1830, a novel actinobacterial strain isolated the sediments of Chilika lake, India. Purification enzyme carried out by concentrating with centrifugal device followed chromatographic separation DEAE Sepharose ion exchange resin.The molecular weight 10.5 kDa as determined SDS-PAGE. The optimum pH and temperature for partially purified 7 60 °C. showed 40% activity at 11 after 24 h exposure room...
Abstract Objective To achieve clinical recovery in canine atopic dermatitis affected pet dogs via alteration of the gut microbiome, following a meat and egg exclusion diet for 60 days. Methods 24 dermatitis-affected dogs, all fed poultry egg, another 48 apparently healthy controls both (n = 24) or vegetable (24) were included study. The study was undertaken Bhubaneswar Smart City, Odisha, India, from July to December 2023. Fecal samples collected at 2 points DNA analysis, ie, on day 0 change...
Abstract Assessing and managing nitrogen sustainably is imperative for achieving the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) targeted 2030. South Asian countries, aware of environmental health impacts pollution, regionally as well globally, piloted 2019 resolution on sustainable management, calling urgent policy action. This paper assists Asia development by providing new insights into nitrogen-related policies in region; it makes a step-change advance an existing global analysis...
The taxonomic position of a novel actinomycete, strain RC 1831(T), isolated from the sediment fish dumping yard at Barkul village near Chilika Lake, Odisha, India, was determined by polyphasic approach. Based on morphological and chemotaxonomic characteristics isolate to belong genus Streptomyces. phylogenetic tree based its nearly complete 16S rRNA gene sequence (1428 nt) with representative strains showed that consistently falls into distinct phyletic line together Streptomyces...
A novel actinobacterial strain RC1832T was isolated from the sediment of a fish dumping yard at Balugaon near Chilika Lake. The is halotolerant (15 % NaCl, w/v), alkali-tolerant (pH 7-10) and hydrolyzes chitin, starch, gelatin, cellulose, carboxymethyl Tween 80, tributyrin, lecithin casein. Apart showing typical genus-specific morphological chemotaxonomic features, comparision analysis complete 16S rRNA gene sequence clearly revealed that represented member genus Streptomyces. It exhibited...
In contrast to the large body of work on bioactive natural products from individually cultivated bacteria, chemistry environmental microbial communities remains largely elusive. Here, we present a comprehensive bioinformatic and functional study complex interaction-rich ecosystem, algal-bacterial (microbial) mats Lake Chilika in India, Asia's largest brackish water body. We report bacterial compositional dynamics over mat life cycle, >1,300 reconstructed genomes harboring >2,200 biosynthetic...
Abstract An increasing concentration of nitrous oxide (N 2 O) in the global atmosphere can perturb ecological balance, affecting climate and human life. South Asia, one world’s most populous regions, is a hotspot for N O emission. Although agriculture traditionally dominated region, economic activities are rapidly shifting towards industry energy services. These activites may become largest emitters future. Yet, few attempts have been made to estimate long-term direct emission from fuel...
Certain Bacillus species play a vital role in polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) production. However, most of these isolates did not properly identify to level when scientifically had been reported.From NGS analysis, 5719 genes were predicted the de novo genome assembly. Based on annotation using RAST server, 5,527,513 bp sequences with 5679 number protein-coding sequence. Its sequence contains 35.1% and 156 GC content contigs, respectively. In server subsystem (43%) non-subsystem coverage (57%)...
ABSTRACT Halobacillus sp. strain KGW1 is a moderately halophilic, rod shaped, Gram-positive, yellow pigmented, alkaline protease-producing bacterium isolated from water sample Chilika Lake, Odisha, India. Sequencing of bacterial DNA assembled 3.68-Mb draft genome. The genome annotation analysis showed various gene clusters for tolerance to stress, such as elevated pH, salt concentration, and toxic metals.
We report the 4.51 Mb draft genome of Pseudomonas sp. strain BMS12, a Gram-negative bacterium in class Gammaproteobacteria, isolated from rhizospheric sediment Phragmites karka, an invasive weed Chilika Lake, Odisha, India. The BMS12 is capable producing proteases and also efficient plant growth promoter that can be useful for various phytoremedial industrial applications.
Abstract Chlorpyrifos (CP) is one of the world’s most widely used organophosphorous pesticides (OPs) in agriculture, has led to contaminate soil and water ecosystems along with human species. Here, we report a newly isolated strain, Ochrobactrum sp. CPD-03 form paddy field which could degrade CP its metabolite TCP (3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinol) 48 hours an efficiency 85-88% minimal salt medium. GC-MS analysis revealed possible metabolites during degradation. Whole genome indicated presence...
ABSTRACT We report the 3.16 Mb draft genome of Acinetobacter sp. strain BMW17, a Gram-negative bacterium in class Gammaproteobacteria , isolated from rhizospheric region Phragmites karka an invasive weed Chilika Lake, Odisha, India. The BMW17 T is capable degrading cellulose and also efficient plant growth promoter that can be useful for various phytoremedial commercial applications.
Klebsiella sp. strain KBG6.2 is a potential salt-tolerant, plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium isolated from rice field in Konark, Odisha, India. Here, we report the whole-genome sequencing of KBG6.2, which has 5.038-Mb genome containing 4,867 predicted protein-coding sequences and 79 RNA genes.
