Methane-oxidizing bacteria (MOB) or methanotrophs are a category of bacteria that rely on methane as their primary carbon and energy source. Methane is the second most abundant greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide and is comparatively far more potent in trapping heat in the atmosphere. MOBs are important microorganisms in the global carbon cycle where they play a crucial role in the oxidation of methane. The present review provides a co Read More

BackgroundHarmful microorganisms like pathogens significantly impact human health. Meanwhile industrial growth causes pollution and water contamination by releasing untreated hazardous waste. Effective treatment of these microorganisms and contaminants is essential and nanocomposites may be a promising solution. The present attempt demonstrates the green synthesis of α-Fe2O3@TiO2 nanocomposites (FTNCs) for the effective treatment Read More

Since ancient times plants have been used as a remedy for numerous diseases. The pharmacological properties of plants are due to the presence of secondary metabolites like terpenoids flavonoids alkaloids etc. Anthraquinones represent a group of naturally occurring quinones found generously across various plant species. Anthraquinones attract a significant amount of attention due to their reported efficacy in treating a wide range of diseases. Read More

BackgroundIn nature orchid plants are obligate myco-heterotrophs and rely on mycorrhizal nutrient resources to grow and sustain in the wild until they become physiologically active photosynthetic plants. Their seeds lack nutrient reserves and receive the necessary carbon from symbiotic fungi during germination. A mycorrhizal fungus provides nutrients especially sugars as well as water to the corresponding host plant. The range and distributio Read More

IntroductionThis study aimed to focus on the identification rearing and exploration of developmental variants of the predatory ladybird Coccinella septempunctata L. renowned for its efficacy as a biological control agent and its predation on agricultural pests. However comprehensive knowledge concerning the occurrence and characteristics of developmental variants in this species remains limited.MethodsIn this study through meticulous Read More

Nanoparticles bestow beneficial impacts on plants specifically in increasing photosynthetic capacity and germination rate pesticide delivery managing pathogenicity and enhancing nutrient supply. The nanoparticles produced from the medicinal plant extracts are identified as an exceptional applicant in nanomedicine cosmetics and agriculture for the treatment of diseases as antimicrobial antioxidant and anticancer agents etc. Plant extracts actu Read More

Vaccines are biological preparations that improve immunity to particular diseases. Particularly for poor developing nations edible vaccines show significant potential as a financially advantageous simple to administer straightforward to store fail-safe and socially and culturally acceptable vaccine delivery system. A vaccine incorporates the gene-encoding bacterial or viral disease-causing agent in plants without losing its immunogenic property. Potatoes tom Read More
