Prospects of probiotics in beekeeping: a review for sustainable approach to boost honeybee health
Arch Microbiol. 2024 Apr 4;206(5):205. doi: 10.1007/s00203-024-03926-4.ABSTRACTHoneybees are vital for global crop pollination, making indispensable contributions to agricultural productivity. However, these vital insects are currently facing escalating colony losses on a global scale, primarily attributed to parasitic and pathogenic attacks. The prevalent response to combat these infections may involve the use of antibiotics. Nevertheless, the application of antibiotics raises concerns regarding potential adverse effects such as antibiotic resistance and imbalances in the gut microbiota of bees. In response to these chall...

Advancements in wound healing: integrating biomolecules, drug delivery carriers, and targeted therapeutics for enhanced tissue repair
Arch Microbiol. 2024 Apr 2;206(4):199. doi: 10.1007/s00203-024-03910-y.ABSTRACTWound healing, a critical biological process vital for tissue restoration, has spurred a global market exceeding $15 billion for wound care products and $12 billion for scar treatment. Chronic wounds lead to delayed or impaired wound healing. Natural bioactive compounds, prized for minimal side effects, stand out as promising candidates for effective wound healing. In response, researchers are turning to nanotechnology, employing the encapsulation of these agents into drug delivery carriers. Drug delivery system will play a crucial role in enabl...

Molecular characterization of Indian races of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lentis (Fol) based on secreted in Xylem (SIX) effector genes and development of a SIX11 gene-based molecular marker for specific detection of Fol
Arch Microbiol. 2024 Apr 2;206(4):200. doi: 10.1007/s00203-024-03945-1.ABSTRACTFusarium wilt of lentil caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lentis (Fol) is a destructive pathogen limiting lentil production in India. In the present study, Secreted in Xylem (SIX) effectors genes were explored in Indian races of Fol and also a diagnostic tool for reliable detection of the disease was developed. Four SIX effectors genes, SIX11, SIX13, SIX6 and SIX2 were identified in 12 isolates of Fol belonging to seven races. SIX11 was present in all the races while SIX 13 was absent in race 6 and SIX6 was present only in race 4. The phylogen...

Metabolomic and genomic insights into TMA degradation by a novel halotolerant strain - Paracoccus sp. PS1
Arch Microbiol. 2024 Apr 2;206(4):201. doi: 10.1007/s00203-024-03931-7.ABSTRACTTrimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) is a gut metabolite that acts as a biomarker for chronic diseases, and is generated by the oxidation of trimethylamine (TMA) produced by gut microflora. Since, microbial degradation of TMA is predicted to be used to restrict the production of TMAO, we aimed to isolate bacterial strains that could effectively degrade TMA before being oxidized to TMAO. As marine fish is considered to have a rich content of TMAO, we have isolated TMA degrading isolates from fish skin. Out of the fourteen isolates, depending on their ra...

Microorganism-mediated biodegradation for effective management and/or removal of micro-plastics from the environment: a comprehensive review
Arch Microbiol. 2024 Apr 1;206(4):198. doi: 10.1007/s00203-024-03904-w.ABSTRACTMicro- plastics (MPs) pose significant global threats, requiring an environment-friendly mode of decomposition. Microbial-mediated biodegradation and biodeterioration of micro-plastics (MPs) have been widely known for their cost-effectiveness, and environment-friendly techniques for removing MPs. MPs resistance to various biocidal microbes has also been reported by various studies. The biocidal resistance degree of biodegradability and/or microbiological susceptibility of MPs can be determined by defacement, structural deformation, erosion, degr...

Isolation and characterization of a relatively broad-spectrum phage against Escherichia coli
In this study, PH444, a relatively broad-spectrum obligate lytic phage, was screened from 48 Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) phages isolated from farm manure samples and sewage samples in order to conduct genome-wide analysis, biological characterization, and a bacterial challenge experiment in milk. The results demonstrated that PH444 was a T7-like phage with a double-stranded DNA of 115,111 bp that belongs to the Kuravirus and was stable at temperatures between 4 and 50 °C and a pH range of 3 to 11. After adding PH444, the bacterial load in milk could be reduced from 3 × 103 PFU/ mL to zero within 1 h. In...
