Current Status and Future Perspectives on Distribution of Fungal Endophytes and Their Utilization for Plant Growth Promotion and Management of Grapevine Diseases
Curr Microbiol. 2024 Mar 15;81(5):116. doi: 10.1007/s00284-024-03635-7.ABSTRACTGrapevine is one of the economically most important fruit crops cultivated worldwide. Grape production is significantly affected by biotic constraints leading to heavy crop losses. Changing climatic conditions leading to widespread occurrence of different foliar diseases in grapevine. Chemical products are used for managing these diseases through preventive and curative application in the vineyard. High disease pressure and indiscriminate use of chemicals leading to residue in the final harvest and resistance development in phytopathogens. To mi...

Microbiomic Analysis of Bacteria Associated with Rock Tripe Lichens from Alpine Areas in Eastern Alps and Equatorial Africa
Curr Microbiol. 2024 Mar 14;81(5):115. doi: 10.1007/s00284-024-03626-8.ABSTRACTThe diversity of bacteria associated with alpine lichens was profiled. Lichen samples belonging to the Umbilicariaceae family, commonly known as rock tripe lichens, were gathered from two distinct alpine fellfields: one situated on Mt. Brennkogel located in the Eastern European Alps (Austria), and the other on Mt. Stanley located in the Rwenzori mountains of equatorial Africa (Uganda). The primary aim of this research was to undertake a comparative investigation into the bacterial compositions, and diversities, identifying potential indicators a...

Algae-Mediated Removal of Prevalent Genotoxic Antibiotics: Molecular Perspective on Algae-Bacteria Consortia and Bioreactor-Based Strategies
Curr Microbiol. 2024 Mar 12;81(5):112. doi: 10.1007/s00284-024-03631-x.ABSTRACTAntibiotic pollution poses a potential risk of genotoxicity, as antibiotics released into the environment can induce DNA damage and mutagenesis in various organisms. This pollution, stemming from pharmaceutical manufacturing, agriculture, and improper disposal, can disrupt aquatic ecosystems and potentially impact human health through the consumption of contaminated water and food. The removal of genotoxic antibiotics using algae-mediated approaches has gained considerable attention due to its potential for mitigating the environmental and healt...

Natural Isatin Derivatives Against Black Fungus: In Silico Studies
Curr Microbiol. 2024 Mar 12;81(5):113. doi: 10.1007/s00284-024-03621-z.ABSTRACTDuring this coronavirus pandemic, when a lot of people are already severely afflicted with SARS-CoV-19, the dispersion of black fungus is making it worse, especially in the Indian subcontinent. Considering this situation, the idea for an in silico study to identify the potential inhibitor against black fungal infection is envisioned and computational analysis has been conducted with isatin derivatives that exhibit considerable antifungal activity. Through this in silico study, several pharmacokinetics properties like absorption, distribution, me...

Migratory Shorebird Gut Microbes are not Associated with Bivalve Prey in Monsoon Tropical Australia
Curr Microbiol. 2024 Mar 12;81(5):111. doi: 10.1007/s00284-024-03628-6.ABSTRACTMigratory animals can carry symbionts over long distances. While well-studied for parasite and pathogen transmission, less is known about use of this route by other symbiotic taxa, particularly those non-pathogenic. Here we ask the question of whether gut bacteria can be spread between continents by long-distance bird migration, although gut microbiomes in birds may not be as stable or persistent as those of non-volant animals. We used amplicon sequencing of both bacterial 16S rRNA gene and Vibrio-centric hsp60 gene to determine whether the faec...

Dunaliella β-Carotene Productivity Comparison Under In Vitro Conditions
Curr Microbiol. 2024 Mar 12;81(5):110. doi: 10.1007/s00284-024-03636-6.ABSTRACTSome species of Dunaliella produce high levels of β-carotene, which is the largest natural Vitamin A source. β-carotene production in Dunaliella is expensive due to low yields obtained under culture conditions used. Since three decades ago synthetic β-carotene has dominated 98% of world market, even when synthetic is less bioactive than Dunaliella β-carotene molecule. In vitro experiments have been performed to increase β-carotene productivity in Dunaliella and some useful results have been obtained. In this review, culture conditions used ...
