Microsatellites are TRs of base pairs that are widely spread throughout the genome. Microsatellites are located in the coding and noncoding regions. Microsatellite markers are codominant, abundant, and multiallelic and play an important role in the study of molecular population genetics, positional cloning, QTL mapping, disease identification, pathogenesis, and evolutionary studies, etc. Here we have discussed the origin and types of microsatellites, their genomic distribution, and their functional significance in the microbial genome.

Ten isolates of Pyricularia oryzae causing rice blast disease were evaluated for their morphological, pathogenic, virulence and genetic characterization using RAPD marker. Isolates were classified into three groups based on pathogenicity viz. severely pathogenic, moderately pathogenic and mildly pathogenic and also into four another gropus i.e. PG-I, PG-II, PG-III and PG-IV based on cultural & morphological characteristics. The molecular polymorphism among isolates by means were analyzed by means of RAPD-PCR and the genetic coefficient matrix derived from the scores of the RAPD profile showed that minimum and maximum per cent similarities among isolates were in the range of 80 to 35 percent respectively. The cluster analysis by unweighted pair group method with arithmetic average (UPGMA) separated the isolates into tw...

There are several reports stating that several rhizospheric fungal species play an important role in solubilizing these insoluble phosphates into a soluble form by the excretion of enzymes like phosphatase, phytase enzymes, and organic acids. In view of this, so we have collected twenty fungal isolates having probable phosphate solubilizing efficiency from different regions of Lucknow, India. Their morphological and biochemical characteristics were tested. Among all, six efficient fungal isolates were further checked at molecular level by using 18S rRNA universal primers and by RAPD means. A dendrogram indicated 40-90% homology i.e., highest similarity was found in between species of Aspergillus flavus and A. biplanus with 33.8% similarity while minimum similarity was observed among A. flavus and Fusarium oxysporum. These findings suggest RAPD proves as, a reliable molecular tool that helps in strain specific discrimination.
Valorization of By-Products from Food Processing Through Sustainable Green Approaches
Challenges and Opportunities of Circular Economy in Agri-Food Sector, 2021

The increasing demand for healthy fruits and vegetables, organic processed foods, nutraceuticals and functional foods, seafood with packaged food products like ready-to-eat, and frozen processed foods is expected to drive the market growth after pandemic COVID-19 incidence. During processing and handling of horticultural crops, generate large volumes of wastes annually and become a major concern to the whole world. Fruits and vegetables have many bioactive compounds (polyphenols, flavonoids, organic acids, aroma, and flavoring agents, etc.) which have a positive impact on human health because of anti-inflammation, anti-allergic, anti-cancer, anti-atherogenic, and antioxidants properties, depending upon extraction their methods from wastes, efficacy, and bioavailability to the body. Applications of conventional (soxhlet, maceration, percolation, hydro-distillation) and green techniques (solid-phase, supercritical, accelerated solvent, microwave, and ultrasound extractions) for the valorization of horticultural wastes’ conversion in many bioactive components are followed by the potentiality, scalability, and sustainability of the extraction process and highlight the concept of the circular economy as “Waste to Wealth.” © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.

The new 2D LJ-EOS is of analytic form, consisting of a zero-temperature contribution and vibrational contributions up to and including the second anharmonic term. A detailed analysis of all contributing terms is made. Comparisons between the 2D LJ-EOS and Monte Carlo simulation results show that the 2D LJ-EOS is very accurate over a wide range of temperature in the high-density region. A criterion to find the temperature range over which the 2D LJ-EOS is applicable at a certain density is derived. We also demonstrate an application of the equation of state to predict an effective tangential pressure for the adsorbed contact layer near the wall in a slit-pore system. Tangential pressures predicted by this "2D-route" are found to be in qualitative agreement with those found by the more traditional virial route of Irving and Kirkwood.

Moreover, the yield of dimer is unchanged upon varying the temperature over the range studied in the experiments. Earlier molecular simulation studies showed a significant increase in dimer formation in carbon nanopores, but the dimer yield was considerably less than that found in the experiments, and decreased rapidly as the temperature was raised. Here, we report an ab initio and molecular simulation study of this reaction in both slit-shaped pores and single-walled carbon nanotubes. The ab initio calculations show that the nitric oxide dimer forms a weak chemical bond with the carbon, and the bonding energy is more than 20 times stronger than the van der Waals energy assumed in the previous studies...

The scope of published research on WoM is broad and spans a long period of time. However, it is not since the advent of social media that WoM or electronic-Word of Mouth (e-WoM) has become a measurable means of communication, making work on e-WoM recent and scarce. Also, existing work pertains to developed economies and there is a potential scope of study in the context of developing nations like India, where the focus is shifting to digitalization in a huge way. To understand the impact of WoM and social media, an attempt has been made to divide literature into drivers, measures, and effects of WoM. Number of variables emerge and can be used to measure the three identified categories. These variables can also be consolidated to establish causal links between drivers and effects of WoM. WoM has been conceptualized as the traditional ...

Detection and accurate identification of harmful plant pathogens is very essential to improve the strategies for controlling plant diseases. The early detection and identification of plant pathogens provides the basis for understanding their biology and appropriate strategies to control that particular pathogen. For the identification of plant pathogen, traditional procedures, i.e., isolation, in vitro culturing and microscopy of the extracellular pathogens, are in common routine. However, traditional methods may take days or weeks for particular pathogens to produce diagnostic spores. Indexing for many intracellular pathogens is also very complex because they are obligate biotrophs in nature. The development in the recent tools in molecular biology has enhanced and accelerated the detection and diagnostics through the automatic purification of nucleic acids and specific proteins from pathogens.

Only 1% of all extracranial schwannomas show that intraoral occurrence with tongue is the commonest site and retromolar region is the least common site. It presents as encapsulated, slow growing, solitary, smooth-surfaced, usually asymptomatic tumor. We report a case of 70-year-old male with well-defined mass on left retromolar region which was painless and slow growing. Diagnosis is made by histological examination and immunohistochemistry analysis to confirm the neural tissue origin of the lesion. The treatment is complete surgical excision of the lesion without recurrence.

For the assessment of the molecular diversity, ten different genotypes of bottle gourd have been studied by RAPD marker and SDS-PAGE. A total of 10 genotypes were screened using 18 random oligonucleotiede decamer primers. Of the 8 selected screened primers, a total of 60 bands were observed, from which 60.29 % were polymorphic. Maximum similarities of 90.90 % were found between Narendra Jyoti and NDBG 132 followed by NDBG 132 and Andromon 6 with 75.75 % of similarity. Two major groups at 0.52 of similarity coefficient on similarity matrix were obtained. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of total protein showed that highest no. of protein bands seen in the fruit and leaves of Narendra Shravasti whereas minimum no. of protein bands observed in Narendra Shishir and Narendra Shivani. Cluster analysis of combined banding pattern of leaves and fruit proteins on SDS-PAGE were separated from 0.68 of similarity coefficient on similarity matrix. Narendra Bow Wonder and NDBG 132 was most dissimilar (36.36 %) followed by Narendra Shishir and Narendra Bow Wonder with 36.40 % of similarity. The diverse bottle gourd genotypes may be further used in the development of improved cultivars with respect to quality and quantity.

The industrial site is situated at the boundary of a petrochemical complex and the other is at downtown area in Ulsan. At each site, we collected ambient air samples in passivated stainless-steel containers by using constant #ow samplers and analyzed them by a GC-FID. At Ulsan industrial site, the concentrations and their daily variations of total VOC were higher than those at the downtown site. The concentrations of oxygenated hydrocarbons were the highest among seven hydrocarbon groups at both sites. The fraction of C }C light hydrocarbon concentrations to C }C hydrocarbons at Ulsan industrial site was higher than that in other industrial areas. It suggests that fugitive emissions of light hydrocarbons in Ulsan industrial areas might be higher than those of other industrial areas. Under favorable wind conditions, the in#uence of industrial emissions of VOC on the downtown hydrocarbon levels was observed.

Protective Effects of Selenium, Calcium, and Magnesium Against Arsenic-Induced Oxidative Stress i... more Protective Effects of Selenium, Calcium, and Magnesium Against Arsenic-Induced Oxidative Stress in Male RatsInorganic arsenic is a potent carcinogen and environmental pollutant. More than one hundred million people are reported to be exposed to elevated concentrations of arsenic mainly via drinking water. Essential trace elements can affect toxicity of metals by interacting with metals at the primary site of action and can also modify the body's response to toxic metals by altering their metabolism and transport. This study investigates the effects of concomitant administration of selenium, magnesium, and calcium with arsenic on blood biochemistry and oxidative stress. Selenium was the most effective in reducing arsenic-induced inhibition of blood δ-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (ALAD) activity and liver oxidative stress. Calcium and magnesium also showed favourable effects on haematological and other biochemical parameters. Because selenium was the most effective, it should b...

The bacterium was gram negative, rod-shaped, nonmotile, non-spore-forming, and noncapsulated, and the strain was identified as Pseudomonas sp. DRBS1 following biochemical and molecular approaches. The strain Pseudomonas sp. DRBS1 exhibited enzymatic machinery for reduction of arsenate(V) to arsenite(III). The suspended culture of the bacterium reduced more than 97% of As(V) (40-100 mM) to As(III) in 48 h. The growth rate and total cellular yield decreased in the presence of higher concentration of arsenate. The suspended culture repeatedly reduced 10 mM As(V) within 5 h up to five consecutive inputs. The cell-free extracts reduced 86% of 100 µM As(V) in 40 min. The specific activity of arsenate reductase enzyme in the presence of 100 µM arsenate is 6.68 µmol/min per milligram protein. The arsenate reductase activity is maximum at 30°C and at pH 5.2. The arsenate reductase activity increased in the presence of electron donors like citrate, glucose, and galactose and metal ions like Cd +2 , Cu +2 , Ca +2 , and Fe +2. Selenate as an electron donor also supports the growth of strain DRBS1 and significantly increased the arsenate reduction.
