The present study was undertaken to determine the mechanism of antibacterial activity a polyphenolic fraction, composed mainly catechin and isorhamnetin, previously isolated from Kombucha, 14-day fermented beverage sugared black tea, against enteropathogen Vibrio cholerae N16961. Bacterial growth found be seriously impaired by fraction in dose-dependent manner. Scanning Electron Microscopy demonstrated morphological alterations bacterial cells when exposed concentration-dependent...
Climate changes cause altering rainfall patterns resulting in an increase drought occurrences globally. These events are disrupting plants and agricultural productivity. To evade droughts, try to adapt modify the best capacities possible. The have adapted by structurally modifying roots, stems, leaves, as well functions. Lately, association of microbial communities with has also been proven be important factor aiding resilience. fungal representatives community help safeguard against...
Soil contains a diverse community of organisms; these can include archaea, fungi, viruses, and bacteria. In situ identification soil microorganisms is challenging. The use genome-centric metagenomics enables the assembly microbial populations, allowing categorization exploration potential functions living in complex environment. However, heterogeneity soil-inhabiting microbes poses tremendous challenge, with their left unknown, difficult to culture lab settings. this study, using genome...
In this study, we used a 10-year long reciprocal garden system, and reports that different ecotypes (dry, mesic, wet) of dominant prairie grass, Andropogon gerardii can maintain or recruit distinct bacterial but not fungal rhizobiomes after 10 years in an arid environment. We both 16S rRNA ITS2 amplicons to analyze the communities rhizospheres respective ecotypes.
Lachnospiraceae members were highly detected in dysbiotic IL-10 KO mice that displayed similar physiological outcomes as control mice. is a diverse family of microbes have been shown to display both commensal and pathogenic characteristics the colon environment. We investigated impact genetic variation five strains on lowering cellular inflammation ROS levels. Cell free spent media (CFSM) from
The clinical manifestation of the recent pandemic COVID-19, caused by novel SARS-CoV-2 virus, varies from mild to severe respiratory illness. Although environmental, demographic and co-morbidity factors have an impact on severity disease, contribution mutations in each viral genes towards degree needs a deeper understanding for designing better therapeutic approach against COVID-19. Open Reading Frame-3a (ORF3a) protein has been found be mutated at several positions. In this work, we studied...
Due to climate change, drought frequencies and severities are predicted increase across the United States. Plant responses adaptation stresses depend on plant genetic environmental factors. Understanding effect of those factors performance is required predict species' change. We used reciprocal gardens planted with distinct regional ecotypes perennial grass
This study reports the identification of a chitin deacetylase gene in Cryptococcus laurentii strain RY1 over‐expressing under nitrogen limitation by differential display. The up‐regulation took place robustly growing cells rather than starving quiescent autophagic cells. Quantitative Real Time‐PCR, enzyme activity cell lysate and wall analysis corroborated limitation. These results suggest might play significant role limiting growth RY1.
Climate change will result in more frequent droughts that can impact soil-inhabiting microbiomes (rhizobiomes) the agriculturally vital North American perennial grasslands. Rhizobiomes have contributed to enhancing drought resilience and stress resistance properties plant hosts. In predicted events of future droughts, how changing rhizobiome under environmental host needs be deciphered. There is also an urgent need identify recover candidate microorganisms along with their functions,...
The Acetobacteraceae family of the class Alpha Proteobacteria is comprised high sugar and acid tolerant bacteria. Acetic Acid Bacteria are economically most significant group this because its association with food products like vinegar, wine etc. often hard to culture in laboratory conditions they also maintain very low abundances their natural habitats. Thus identification organisms such environments greatly dependent on modern tools molecular biology which require a thorough knowledge...

Microbial interactions in natural environments are intricately complex. High numbers and rich diversity of microorganisms, along with compositional heterogeneities complicate the cause. It is essential to simplify these complex communities understand microbial interactions. We proposed a concept "
With colon cancer being one of the deadliest and most common cancers, understanding mechanisms behind is crucial in improving therapies. One newest approaches research concept proteogenomics. While genomic data not sufficient to understand cancer, integration multi-omics including proteomics conjugation with protein modeling has a better potential elucidate structural alterations characterize tumors. This enables more efficient diagnosis improves remedial strategies. In this review, we aim...
Abstract Background Global change has accelerated the nitrogen cycle. Soil stock degradation by microbes leads to release of various gases, including nitrous oxide (N 2 O), a potent greenhouse gas. Ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) and ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) participate in soil cycle, producing N O. There are outstanding questions regarding impact environmental processes such as precipitation land use legacy on AOA AOB structurally, compositionally, functionally. To answer these...
Coronaviruses have been posing a serious threat to mammals and birds new class of SARS-CoV is creating havoc the world after its first incidence in Wuhan City China December 2019. These viruses are mainly responsible for causing respiratory tract infections which generally appear initially as common cold can be lethal just like SARS-CoV. The problems seem vary worsen from one person another depending on age, gender, ethnicity, blood groups, host genetics, associated comorbidities....
