Microbial pathogenesis
A worldwide hazard to human health is posed by the growth of pathogenic bacteria that have contaminated fresh, processed, cereal, and seed products in storage facilities. As the number of multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogenic microorganisms rises, we must find safe, and effective antimicrobials. The use of green synthesis of nanoparticles to combat ...

Soil health and One Health are global concerns, necessitating the development of refined indicators for effective monitoring. In response, we present the Anaconda R Package, a novel tool designed to enhance the analysis of eDNA data for biomonitoring purposes. Employing a combination of different approaches, this package allows for a comprehensive ...

npj antimicrobials and resistance
Faced with the burden of increasing resistance to antifungals in many fungal pathogens and the constant emergence of new drug-resistant strains, it is essential to assess the importance of various resistance mechanisms. Fungi have relatively plastic genomes and can tolerate genomic copy number variation (CNV) caused by aneuploidy and gene amplifica...

Diversified crop rotation systems play a key role in sustainable agricultural production by increasing crop diversity and reducing management intensity. Evidence is accumulating that this diversification shapes the root-associated bacteria and fungi – the rhizobiome. However, the intimate link and feedback between crop diversification and the rhizo...

This study focused on the development of cholesterol-free fusogenic liposomes with different surface charge with the aim of improving biofilm penetration. In vitro assessments of the liposomes included physical stability, biocompatibility, fusion with microbial cells, and the ability to penetrate established biofilms. Using dynamic light scattering...

Microplastics (MPs), diminutive yet ubiquitous fragments arising from the degradation of plastic waste, pervade environmental matrices, posing substantial risks to ecological systems and trophic dynamics. This review meticulously examines the origins, distribution, and biological impacts of MPs, with an incisive focus on elucidating the molecular a...

Plants make up 80 percent of our food, but up to 40 percent of global food crops are lost to plant pests and diseases each year (FAO, 2019). Scientists try to mitigate disease impacts by identifying microscopic pathogens such as fungi and running experiments to study their traits and how they affect plants. In this module, students build on previou...

Surfactant is generally regarded to enhance the hydrolysis rate and favor high efficiency which however has not been revealed in the lignocellulosic anaerobic co-digestion process. In particular, the responses and functions of fungal community exposing to surfactants remain largely unknown. In this study, the roles of dodecyl dimethyl benzyl ammoni...

Burning rice straw is now a significant issue faced by different regions in India, as its burning releases harmful gases, mainly carbon dioxide. Various techniques are now in trend to utilize the rice straw, e.g., producing compressed natural gas using rice straw, bioethanol, etc., as a substrate for various microorganisms. A high quantity of non-u...
