Mycoremediation, a form of Bioremediation
Abstract: It is very essential to break down and clean the environmental pollutants to get rid of polluted atmosphere. When this process is used by either naturally occurring or deliberately introduced microorganisms it is known as bioremediation. On the other hand, when this process of bioremediation is performed by fungi-based technology to decontaminate the environment, it is known as mycoremediation. It has been proven that especially fungi like mushrooms of phylum …

Virulence Factors, Pathogenesis and Drug Susceptibility of Emerging Buzzing threat 2019-nCoV
Abstract: AbstractThis review article highlights the role of OMPs as virulence factor and suggests the combination of drugs against 2019-nCoV. 2019nCoV, outbreak has been occurred form Wuhan (China) and it spreads rapidly throughout the world. Outer Membrane Protein (OMPs) play vital role in pathogenesis of 2019-nCoV. Altered OMPs may responsible to increase affinity towards target site. Recombinant virus with absence of OMPs (especially E, envelope protein) may play important role in …

Plants do Respond: A Comparative Study with Humans
Abstract: Pain is actually an unpleasant and uncomfortable feeling that tells something is wrong. Currently, no one is sure whether plants can feel pain and respond to it. We do know that they can feel pain sensations. Reputable study has shown that plants can “feel pain”. Still, more scientists infer that plants can exhibit intelligent behavior without possessing a brain or conscious awareness and the sixth sense. In this paper, a …

Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification Coupled Lateral Flow Assay to Detect Nucleic Acids in Clinical Samples for Brucella Species at Point of Care and Resource-Limited
Abstract: Brucellosis is a most common and neglected zoonotic disease caused by Brucella species. Brucellosis is a major public health challenge as both animals and humans are affected. Most of the Brucella diagnostic tools are focused around serological assays though these assays cannot detect active pathogenesis. Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) coupled with lateral flow assay (LFA) was developed in the present study to detect IS711 gene of Brucella species in the …

Effects of Habitat Abiotic Parameters on the Spatio-Temporal Distribution of Non-Biting Midges in Three Selected Ponds of Barind Region, West Bengal, India
Abstract: The spatio-temporal distribution of Non-Biting Midge (Diptera: Chironomidae) assemblages and some environmental factors that affect their distribution were analyzed in three different ponds of Barind region. A total 15 were recorded after three seasonal sampling (pre-monsoon, monsoon and post monsoon) for three years. The dominant taxa were, although the dominance varied season wise and site wise. The variation in dominance, abundance and richness among different sites were affected by environmental …
