Insilico Structural Analysis and Homology Modeling of Crustin Protein from Fiddler Crab Species
Abstract: In terms of biomass and ecological or economic importance, the crustacea are the largest, most noticeable, and possibly, the most significance group of marine or aquatic arthropods. Because of their enormous commercial value and the necessity to prevent disease outbreaks in the shellfish aquaculture industry, decapods are the experimental animals of choice for practically all biological studies involving immune responses. Antimicrobial host-defense peptides (AMPs) are major components of metazoan immunity, …

Epidemiology and Mycological Analysis of Superficial Mycosis in a Northern Indian Tertiary Care Hospital
Abstract: Background: A fungal infection that affects the outer layer of the skin and its connective tissue, including hair and nails, is called superficial mycosis. These infections are typically caused by fungi, which thrive on keratin, the proteinthat makes up the nails, hair, and skin. A common disease that can affect people of any age, gender, or race is superficial mycosis. Usually, it appears as a streaky red rash that can …

Evaluation of Antioxidant and Cytotoxic activities of Mycelia Biomass and Culture broth of three Edible Mushrooms, Morchella conica, Hericium erinaceus and Pleurotus florida Grown in Submerged Culture
Abstract: Mycelia biomass of three edible mushrooms namely, Morchella conica, Pleurotus florida and Hericium erinaceus were grown as submerged culture in potato dextrose broth supplemented with yeast extract, potassium dihydrogen orthophosphate and magnesium sulphate. The mycelia biomass was extracted with 70% ethanol and culture broth with ethyl acetate. The solvents were evaporated to dryness at low temperature using a rotary vacuum evaporator and the residues thus obtained were used for the …

Understanding Food Spoilage: Mechanisms, Shelf-Life Determination, and Safety Standards
Abstract: Food spoilage poses significant challenges to the global food industry, impacting both food safety and economic sustainability. The main causes of food quality deterioration are microbial and non-microbial spoiling. Microbial spoilage primarily results from the activity of bacteria, yeasts, and molds, which thrive under favorable environmental conditions. These microorganisms can lead to food poisoning and spoilage through the production of off-flavors, discoloration, slime formation, and the accumulation of harmful toxins. …

Antimicrobial Peptides in Fiddler Crabs: Structural Analysis and Potential Applications
Abstract: Crustaceans represent the largest and most ecologically and economically significant group of marine and aquatic arthropods. Their biomass and critical role in ecosystems highlight their importance. Among crustaceans, decapods are frequently used as model organisms in studies of immune responses due to their significant commercial value and the need to mitigate disease outbreaks in shellfish aquaculture. Antimicrobial host-defense peptides (AMPs) are pivotal in metazoan immunity, especially for invertebrates lacking adaptive …

Practical Strategies to Mitigate Acidosis in Dairy Cattle: Implications of Nutritional, Genetic, and Management Practices
Abstract: Acidosis in dairy cattle remains a critical concern, adversely affecting rumen health, milk production, and overall animal welfare. This study investigates practical strategies to mitigate acidosis through integrated nutritional, genetic, and management approaches. Nutritional strategies emphasize balancing forage-to-concentrate ratios, providing adequate fiber, and utilizing feed additives such as buffers, probiotics, and yeast cultures to stabilize rumen pH. The importance of gradual dietary transitions and monitoring total mixed ration (TMR) composition …

Nutritional Status, Bioactive Properties & Therapeutic Efficacy of Omega-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids Obtained by Green Synthetic Routes
Abstract: Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), particularly omega-3 (n-3) fatty acids like eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), are crucial for human health. They support structural brain development, visual acuity, and cardiovascular function, while also exhibiting potent anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties. Historically, marine fish oil has been the primary dietary source of these essential fatty acids. However, escalating concerns regarding ecological environmental impacts, the oceanic bioaccumulation of heavy metal contaminants, …

Veterinary Mycology: Fungal Infections in Livestock and Companion Animals
Abstract: Fungal infections represent a significant yet often underestimated challenge in veterinary medicine, affecting both livestock and companion animals. Veterinary mycology encompasses a diverse group of pathogens, including yeasts, molds, dimorphic fungi, and dermatophytes, that can cause localized or systemic diseases with substantial health, economic, and zoonotic implications. In livestock species, such as cattle, sheep, goats, poultry, pigs, horses, and camels, fungal infections manifest as dermatophytosis, mycotic mastitis, aspergillosis, keratomycosis, and …
