Bacteriophages: an overview of the control strategies against multiple bacterial infections in different fields
Bacteriophages (phages/viruses) need host bacteria to replicate and propagate. Primarily, a bacteriophage contains a head/capsid to encapsidate the genetic material. Some phages contain tails. Phages encode endolysins to hydrolyze bacterial cell wall. The two main classes of phages are lytic or virulent and lysogenic or temperate. In comparison with antibiotics, to deal with bacterial infections, phage therapy is thought to be more effective. In 1921, the use of phages against bacterial infections was first demonstrated. Later on, in humans, phage therapy was used to treat skin infections caused byPseudomonas species. Furt...

Impact of nanoparticles on transcriptional regulation of catabolic genes of petroleum hydrocarbon ‐degrading bacteria in contaminated soil microcosms
This study was conducted to determine what effects nanoparticles (NPs) like TiO2, ZnO, and Ag may pose on natural attenuation processes of petroleum hydrocarbons in contaminated soils. The solid NPs used were identified using x ‐ray diffraction technique and their average size was certified as 18.2, 16.9, and 18.3 nm for Ag‐NPs, ZnO‐NPs, and TiO2‐NPs, respectively. NPs in soil microcosms behave differently where it was dissolved as in case of Ag‐NPs, partially dissolved as in ZnO‐NPs or changed into other crystalline phase as in TiO2‐NPs. In this investigation, catabolic gene encoding catechol 2,3 dioxygena...

Detergent ‐compatible bacterial cellulases
Cellulases, lipases, proteases, and amylases are employed in the detergent preparation to speed up the detergency process. Microbial cellulases are now commercially manufactured and are being used by various industries like detergent industry. Currently, the supplementation of detergent ‐compatible enzymes is a new trend followed by most of the detergent industries. The cellulases are supplemented to the detergents to improve the fabric smoothness and soil removal without damaging them. They act by passing through the textile interfibril spaces and thus the fabric quality is pres erved. The process is environment friendl...

Seasonal and spatial variation in the sediment bacterial community and diversity of Lake Bosten, China
To explore the influence of seasonal and regional environmental factors on the bacterial community composition (BCC) and diversity in the sediments of Lake Bosten, the 16S rRNA gene of sediment bacteria in four samples from the lake center area and the macrophyte ‐dominated area were sequenced using 454 pyrosequencing. According to the operational taxonomic units (OTUs), diversity index, relative abundance, and redundancy analysis (RDA) of the bacteria, the results showed that (i) the bacterial diversity of the lake center area was lower than that of the m acrophyte‐dominated area, and it was higher in winter than that...
