The present findings will be very useful for the development of a bioprocess of the enzyme for its large-scale production at the pilot and finally at the commercial level.

Significance: Fluoride and triclosan containing dentifrices can be used to prevent oral infections.

Our research findings that three new drug compounds were synthesized by complexation way which could be due to interaction of andrographolide and suvorexant; andrographolide and mirabegron, and suvorexant and mirabegron.

P. fluorescens BCPBMS-1 and P. citrinum strains produce bioactive metabolites with hemolytic activity and antioxidant activity whereas P. citrinum could be a valuable resource for anticancer metabolites.

heating milk on a kitchen stove up to 65°C-75°C has been shown quick, cost-effective, an energy-saving in-home pasteurization technique to produce safe and nourishing milk with increased shelf life.

The efficiency of the enzyme in solubilizing the whole feathers was also assessed which indicated that the enzyme produced with cheap substrates could be utilized as a cost effective and eco-friendly agent in poultry feed formulation, leather processing etc.

Misidentification of bacterial pathogens may promote the dissemination of antibiotic resistance.

Although the pollution of soil with copper (II) ions affects nematode infectivity and reproduction potential, Schiff base ligandsand their copper complexes were found to be less harmful and hence the latter could be used in combination with fertilizers to overcome one of the abiotic factors enhancing the field efficacy of EPN.

The ability of the Streptomyces isolates in tolerating wide range of growth conditions would be of special advantage and the influence of pH in pathogen specific antimicrobial production could enhance the chances of obtaining diverse antimicrobials.

Multiple discrete fractions (4, 10, 16 and 18), obtained through SEC, demonstrated high protease activity which were characterized by LC-MS and expression of multiple protease enzymes were evidenced. Due to anti-nmr degradation of complex proteins occurred to make N2-source available which facilitated the synthesis of δ- endotoxins with times.
