Monitoring and abatement of synthetic pollutants using engineered microbial systems

Quratulain Maqsood, Nazim Hussain, Aleena Sumrin et al. · 30 Jul 2024

Abstract Synthetic pollutants (SPs) are a significant environmental concern due to their extensive use and persistence in the environment. Various remediation strategies have been explored to address this issue, including photocatalysis, nano-remediation, and bioremediation. Among these, bioremediation stands out as a promising approach, particularly with the use of genetically engineered (GE) microorganisms. This review focuses…

Bioactive compounds and antioxidant activity in various parts of Morus alba L. Cv. ichinose: a comparative analysis

Lubna Altaf, S.A. Wani, Peerzada R. Hussain et al. · 30 Jul 2024

Abstract Present investigation was undertaken to assess the composition of bioactive compounds within various parts of methanolic extracts from mulberry plants utilizing both High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and spectrophotometric methodologies. Furthermore, the antioxidant potential was evaluated through assays including 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power (FRAP), β-carotene bleaching (BCBA), and Hydroxyl Radical Scavenging Activity (HRSA).…

Therapeutic switching of metronidazole anti-cancerous compounds as anti SARS-COV-2 inhibitors: integration of QSAR, molecular docking, MD simulation and ADMET analysis

Shagufta Parveen, Rabia Khalil, Nusrat Shafiq et al. · 9 Aug 2024

The global economy and public health are seriously at risk because of the COVID-19 outbreak brought on by the SARS-CoV-2. Currently, there is no specific medication available to treat COVID-19 patients. A quick method used to find out the treatment of newly developing infectious diseases like SARS COV-2 by drug repurposing. Metronidazole (3-methyl-5-nitroimidazole) is a…

Responses of cotton yield and water productivity to irrigation management: assessment of economic costs, interactive effects of deficit irrigation water and soil types

Zhangjin, Rajesh Kumar Soothar, Sajid Usman Shar et al. · 6 Jan 2025

Water scarcity emerges as a prominent threat to the vegetative and reproductive phases of cotton plants. However, water deficit stress induces a reduction in stomatal conductance, altering the interplay between plant water and nutrients, and Irrigation water productivity (IWP). The relationship between IWP and cotton yield under deficit irrigation remains unclear in the irrigated area…

Synergistic approaches in halophyte-microbe interactions: mitigating soil salinity and industrial contaminants for sustainable agriculture

Deepak Shelke, Mahadev R. Chambhare, Hiralal Sonawane et al. · 14 Apr 2025

Soil salinity is a significant environmental stress that limits plant growth and reduces crop productivity. This problem diminishes the quantity of cultivable land and has a detrimental impact on productivity. Salinity and toxic contaminants, such as heavy metals originating from industrial effluents, are widespread in agricultural lands located in arid and semiarid regions, resulting in…
