RESUMO

This study aimed at evaluating the occurrence, antibiotic resistance, and ß-lactamase production in Staphylococcus isolates recovered from meat and meat products, as well as the incidence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes in these bacterial isolates. The prevalence of Staphylococcus was very high (75% and 50%) in street kebab and raw buffalo meat, respectively. The antibiotic resistance and susceptibility behavior showed that 82% of the Staphylococcus isolates were resistant to ß-lactam antibiotics such as aztreonam, followed by methicillin (68%), oxacillin (54%), cefepime (36%), ceftazidime (34%), cefaclor (24%), cefotaxime (22%), ertapenem (4%), meropenem and imipenem (2%). Among non-ß-lactam antibiotics, the most widespread resistance was observed against nalidixic acid (80%), sulfadiazine (76%), vancomycin (24%), erythromycin (10%), chloramphenicol (6%), and kanamycin and gatifloxacin (4%). One hundred percent of the isolates were susceptible to ciprofloxacin, tetracycline, gemifloxacin, and cefotaxime/clavulanic acid. In vitro drug-resistant characteristics revealed 36 distinct resistance patterns of Staphylococcus isolates, with 82% of them being multidrug resistant (MDR). Iodometric assay showed that 48% of the Staphylococcus isolates produced ß-lactamase and 24% of the isolates were capable of producing extended-spectrum beta-lactamases phenotypically. The most commonly detected AMR gene was mecA (29.2%), followed by Sul 1 (25%) and qnrS and qnrB (20.8%), in Staphylococcus isolates. Current findings show widespread occurrence of MDR Staphylococcus strains in raw meat and street meat products, which is a potential risk to public health. Therefore, the study suggests strict monitoring of hygiene through the whole food chain and judicious use of antibiotics.

RESUMO

Cultured fisheries of developing countries are continously challenged by a number of pathogenic microbes. Among microbial diseases, fungal and fungal like pathogen outbreaks lead to negative social and economic impacts on stakeholders. The cultured fisheries of Kashmir valley are also facing challenge from fungal pathogens, leading to tremendous socio-economic lossess to the fish farmer community hence, yearns to boost the sector with efficient management strategy. Our study was aimed at investigating the diversity of fungal communities infecting cultured rainbow trout and carp fish species. We employed classical microbiology, macro and micro morphological characteristics, and molecular analysis (multilocus typing) for fungal identification. Also histopathological approach was used to examine the pathogenicity patterns of diverse fungal groups. The study revealed that the infection in fish was predisposed to both superficial as well as visceral organs. However, skin, gills and head were predominantly infected compared to internal organs. The microbiological investigation of infected fish by culture dependent approach helped us to obtain the total of 250 fungal isolates. Out of these isolates, 21 different species were identified belonging to three diverse fungal groups which mostly included 14 species among Ascomycetes, 03 species of Oomycetes and 04 species of Zygomycetes. The majority of fungi which were infectious to cultured fish of valley are biotrophic or opportunistic soil fungi, and some of them being exclusive pathogens of fish.

RESUMO

Vegetative insecticidal proteins (Vips) represent the second generation of insecticidal trans-genes that will complement the Bacillus thuringiensis delta endotoxins in future. A new vip3A gene was cloned from the promising native isolate, B. thuringiensis JK37 obtained from the soils of maize field. The entire coding sequence of the gene (2370 bp) was amplified and cloned into pET28a(+) expression vector. The deduced amino acid sequence of the vip3A gene revealed variation of several amino acid residues with that of the known vip3A genes and this gene was designated as vip3Aa61 by the B. thuringiensis nomenclature committee. The recombinant pET28a(+)-vip3Aa61 was transformed and expressed in Escherichia coli strain BL21 (DE3) under the control of T7 promoter. SDS-PAGE and Western blot analysis confirmed the expression of an 89 kDa protein. Insect bioassays with 2nd instar larvae of Helicoverpa armigera, one of the most notorious pest affecting various crops including cotton and chick pea displayed toxicity. The toxicity of Vip3Aa61 was expressed as mean lethal concentration (LC50), which was 169.63 ng cm-2. The novel vip3Aa gene may be used for the construction of transgenic plants expressing insecticidal protein for the control of lepidopteran insect pests.

RESUMO

Drought is a calamitous abiotic stress hampering agricultural productivity all over the world and its severity is likely to increase further. Abscisic acid-stress-ripening proteins (ASR), are a group of small hydrophilic proteins which are induced by abscisic acid, stress and ripening in many plants. In the present study, ZnAsr 1 gene was fully characterized for the first time from Ziziphus nummularia, which is one of the most low water forbearing plant. Full length ZnAsr 1 gene was characterised and in silico analysis of ZnASR1 protein was done for predicting its phylogeny and physiochemical properties. To validate transcriptional pattern of ZnAsr 1 in response to drought stress, expression profiling in polyethylene glycol (PEG) induced Z. nummularia seedlings was studied by RT-qPCR analysis and heterologous expression of the recombinant ZnAsr1 in Escherichia coli. The nucleotide sequence analysis revealed that the complete open reading frame of ZnAsr 1 is 819 bp long encoding a protein of 273 amino acid residues, consisting of a histidine rich N terminus with an abscisic acid/water deficit stress domain and a nuclear targeting signal at the C terminus. In expression studies, ZnAsr 1 gene was found to be highly upregulated under drought stress and recombinant clones of E. coli cells expressing ZnASR1 protein showed better survival in PEG containing media. ZnAsr1 was proven to enhance drought stress tolerance in the recombinant E.coli cells expressing ZnASR1. The cloned ZnAsr1 after proper validation in a plant system, can be used to develop drought tolerant transgenic crops.

RESUMO

Vegetative insecticidal proteins (Vip) represent the second generation of insecticidal proteins produced by Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) during the vegetative growth stage of growth. Bt-based biopesticides are recognized as viable alternatives to chemical insecticides; the latter cause environmental pollution and lead to the emergence of pest resistance. To perform a systematic study of vip genes encoding toxic proteins, a total of 30 soil samples were collected from diverse locations of Kashmir valley, India, and characterized by molecular and analytical methods. Eighty-six colonies showing Bacillus-like morphology were selected. Scanning electron microscopy observations confirmed the presence of different crystal shapes, and PCR analysis of insecticidal genes revealed a predominance of the lepidopteran-specific vip3 (43.18%) gene followed by coleopteran-specific vip1 (22.72%) and vip2 (15.90%) genes in the isolates tested. Multi-alignment of the deduced amino acid sequences revealed that vip3 sequences were highly conserved, whereas vip1 and vip2 showed adequate differences in amino acid sequences compared with already reported sequences. Screening for toxicity against Helicoverpa armigera larvae was performed using partially purified soluble fractions containing Vip3A protein. The mortality levels observed ranged between 70% and 96.6% in the isolates. The LC50 values of 2 of the native isolates, JK37 and JK88, against H. armigera were found to be on par with that of Bt subsp. kurstaki HD1, suggesting that these isolates could be developed as effective biopesticides against H. armigera.

RESUMO

Bacillus pumilus MTCC7615, a biocontrol agent isolated from rice rhizosphere was characterized to be antagonistic to Rhizoctonia solani, the pathogen causing sheath blight disease of rice. The phenazine-1-carboxylic acid gene (phc CD) of this bacterium was PCR amplified (1400 bp), cloned, and sequenced. The sequence analysis revealed the presence of two ORFs of phc CD gene commonly found in Pseudomonas species. The sequence showed 98% similarity to phc CD gene of the Pseudomonas isolate LBUM223 (DQ788993). The crude antibiotic extract from B. pumilus MTCC7615 was observed to inhibit mycelial growth of R. solani under in vitro conditions. The HPLC analysis of crude antibiotic extract from B. pumilus MTCC7615 confirmed the presence of phenazine. The study has also reported the presence of phc CD gene which is responsible for the synthesis of phenazine-1-carboxylic acid in B. pumilus. The ability of the bacterial isolate to control sheath blight disease in rice seedlings under in vivo conditions was confirmed by the pot culture experiment. The structural and functional genomics of phc C and phc D genes would lead to a better understanding of phenazine biosynthesis in B. pumilus for its efficient utilization in plant protection strategies.

RESUMO

Bio-fuel produced from ethanol is economically and environmentally advantageous in context of changing global climate. A large number of microorganisms are capable of cellulase production but most of them cannot be utilized commercially due to their low activity. In the present study, an effiecient cellulose degrading strain of Bacillus pumilus was obtained after thorough screening for the production of extracellular cellulases. Out of a total of 144 microbes isolated from soils of Darjeeling hills of India, nineteen were found to be cellulose degrader under in vitro conditions as observed by clearing zone on CMC - agar plates. Isolate #35 had high cellulolytic activity as observed by a clearing zone of 26.83 mm diameter formed on CMC - agar plate. The isolate was characterized and identified as Bacillus pumilus. The isolate was submitted to National Agriculturally Important Microbial Culture Collection (NAIMCC), NBAIM, Mau with Accession number NAIMCC-B-01415. Transposon (Tn5) mutants of wild type isolate Bacillus pumilus NAIMCC-B-01415 were generated and screened for the absence of cellulose degradation. Of 365 B. pumilus NAIMCC-B-01415 mutants obtained, only two were unable to degrade cellulose under in vitro conditions. Inverse PCR studies with B. pumilus NAIMCC-B-01415 :: TL5, a cellulose degradation mutant of B. pumilus NAIMCC -B-01415 revealed presence of Cys B (Cystein protein regulatory) gene involved in cellulose degradation. The participation of Cys B gene in cellulase degradation is reported here.

RESUMO

Nanofluid is a specially crafted fluid comprising a pure fluid with dispersed nanometer-sized particles. Incorporation these nanoparticles into pure fluid results in a fluid with improved thermal properties in comparison of pure fluid. The enhanced properties of nanofluids make them highly sought after, in diverse applications, consisting of coolant of devices, heat exchangers, and thermal solar systems. In this study hybrid nanofluid consisting of copper, alumina and titanium nanoparticles on a curved sheet has investigated with impact of chemical reactivity, magnetic field and Joule heating. The leading equations have converted to normal equations by using appropriate set of variables and has then evaluated by homotopy analysis method. The outcomes are shown through Figures and Tables and are discussed physically. It has revealed in this study that Cu-nanofluid flow has augmented velocity, temperature, and volume fraction distributions than those of Al2O3-nanofluid and TiO2-nanofluid. Also, the Cu-nanofluid flow has higher heat and mass transfer rates than those of Al2O3-nanofluid and TiO2-nanofluid.

RESUMO

The endoscopy of a coronary arterial segment having a symmetric emergence of plaque at its innermost region is numerically modeled via computational fluid dynamics toolbox Open-FOAM. The considered left coronary artery for this model has a radius of 2 mm and span of 10 mm. The formation of plaque inside the artery that is a stenosis has length 2 mm and height 0.82 mm. The catheter used for this analysis has a diameter of 1 mm with a balloon over it with a height of 0.53 mm. The blood flow rate considered for this analysis has a range 2.00 ml/s to 2.50 ml/s. The fluid under consideration for this endoscopy review is the non-Newtonian Casson model. The mesh illustrations are arranged for the proposed model with numerical simulations of velocity, pressure profile and streamlines. The narrow channel formed due to assembly of stenosis and balloon over catheter inside this arterial segment has developed some swirling flow profile with turbulence effects just after the flow leaves the stenosis plus balloon region. Although this disturbance caused due to narrowing of channel has made the flow slightly turbulent, the flow eventually leaves the arterial segment again as a laminar flow. To cure coronary artery disease, catheterization, and balloon dilation of stenosed arteries is performed to locate the position and shape of stenosis. A catheter is inserted inside the body through a minor cut and then it is moved inside arteries to place it exactly at the stenosis location. A balloon is placed at front of that catheter and the stenosed region can be opened wide by using balloon dilation.

RESUMO

This study investigates the 3D flow properties and heat transfer of copper, titanium/ water nanofluids across a bidirectional surface under the impact of MHD. The thermophysical features of nanofluid are employed using the Tiwari and Das model. Boundary layer theory has simplified the resulting physical principles. By using the proper transformations, the complicated sets of connected PDEs have evolved into ODEs. Equations that have been modify by using OHAM. For various dimensionless component ranges between [Formula: see text].[Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] the results are investigated computationally and graphically. It is observed that fluid parameters improve; they react differently from temperature and velocity profile. Additionally, thermal profiles decrease in comparison to greater Eckert and Prandtl numbers.

RESUMO

A stratified flow may be seen regularly in a number of significant industrial operations. For instance, the stratified flow regime is typically used by gas-condensate pipelines. Clearly, only a limited set of working situations for which this flow arrangement is stable allow for the achievement of the stratified two-phase flow zone. In this paper, the authors are considered the laminar, steady and incompressible magnetohydrodynamic flow of a non-Newtonian Casson fluid flow past a stratified extending sheet. The features of bio-convection, Brownian motion, thermal radiation thermophoresis, heat source, and chemically reactive activation energy have been employed. The set of equations administered flow of fluid is converted into ordinary differential equation by suitable variables. A semi-analytical investigation of the present analysis is performed with homotopy analysis method. Endorsement of the current results with previous results is also investigated. The outcomes showed that the velocity distribution of the fluid flow lessens with higher Casson and magnetic factors. The temperature profiles of fluid flow shrinkage as the Prandtl number and Casson factor increase and enlarges with higher values of thermal radiation, magnetic, and Brownian motion factors. It is found that the growing thermophoretic and Brownian motion factors reduce the rate of thermal flow of the Casson fluid flow. In contrast, the increasing thermal stratification parameter increases the thermal flow rate of fluid.

RESUMO

The present study addressed the physical significance of the entropy generation for the mixed convection time-dependent flow of cross-hybrid nanoliquid due to the stretched surface at a stagnation point. The Plot for heat transport is discoursed by applying the role of thermal radiation under convective conditions. For hybrid nanofluid, engine oil is used as a base liquid with copper (II) oxide C u O and titanium dioxide T i O 2 nanoparticles. The existing model is framed in the highly partial differential equation system. The governing equations have been transformed into a set of ODS's using a similar scaling operation. Following this, the resulting ODEs are solved numerically through the BVP4c. The primary goal of this research is to analyze the results of varying the stretching ratio parameter ( λ ), Weissenberg parameter ( W e ), thermal radiation ( R d ), and Biot number ( B i ) for both pure T i O 2 and CuO +  T i O 2 / E O hybrid nanofluid, on the velocity, temperature, drag force, heat transfer as well as entropy generation, and Bejan number was studied. A drop in velocity is observed with increasing values of the W e and upsurge in velocity for rising value of unsteady parameter ( A ), while increasing values of both of these parameters are associated with rising temperatures. Copper and titanium oxide nanoparticles are used to increase Engine oil (EO) thermal enactment, making it a more useful base fluid. Further, some significant industrial and engineering applications are related to the present problem discourse.

RESUMO

Measurement error (M.E) can have a substantial impact on quality control applications, diminishing the sensitivity to detect changes in the mean or variance of quality characteristics. To monitor shifts in process mean and dispersion, Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) and Cumulative Sum (CUSUM) control charts are commonly employed. In our research, we investigated the influence of M.E on the Triple Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (TEWMA) control chart. We assessed the performance of the control chart using Average Run Length (ARL) as the evaluation metric. To compute the ARL properties, we adopted the Monte-Carlo simulation method. A comparison section has been made to check the performance efficiency of the control chart with the existing EWMA control chart. The implementation of a control chart on a real data set is also presented.

RESUMO

This paper investigates the impact of cubic autocatalysis on energy transport in Maxwell fluid flow induced into a rotating cylinder inspired by a solar radiative surface. The homogeneous-reaction is assumed to be furnished by the kinetics of isothermal cubic autocatalytic and the heterogeneous reaction by kinetics of first order. To prevent induced axial secondary flow, the cylinder's rotation is maintained at a constant rate. The characteristics of thermal radiation are also investigated to regulate the pace of heat transmission. A magnetic beam is projected in the upward radial direction to control the fluid momentum. A suitable flow ansatz is used to convert the entire physical problem of thermal energy transmission and fluid flow from partial differential equations (PDEs) to nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs). Results obtained numerically with the bvp4c approach are presented graphically and explained physically. It is observed that by flourishing the Reynolds parameter, the penetration depth decreases. Further, when the thermal relaxation period increases, the temperature field degrades. Moreover, when the homogeneous-heterogeneous reaction's strength is increased, a reduction in fluid concentration is shown.

RESUMO

The core devotion of this study is to develop a generalized model by means of a recently proposed fractional technique in order to anticipate the enhancement in the thermal efficiency of engine oil because of the dispersion of graphene and magnesia nanoparticles. In addition to investigating the synergistic attributes of the foregoing particles, this work evaluates shape impacts for column, brick, tetrahedron, blade, and lamina-like shapes. In the primary model, the flow equation is coupled with concentration and energy functions. This classical system is transmuted into a fractional environment by generalizing mathematical expressions of thermal and diffusion fluxes by virtue of the Prabhakar fractional operator. In this study, ramped flow and temperature slip conditions are simultaneously applied for the first time to examine the behavior of a hybrid nanofluid. The mathematical analysis of this problem involves the incorporation of dimension-independent parameters into the model and the execution of the Laplace transform for the consequent equations. By doing so, exact solutions are derived in the form of Mittag-Leffler functions. Multiple illustrations are developed by dint of exact solutions to chew over all aspects of temperature variations and flow dynamics. For the preparation of these illustrations, the details of parametric ranges are as follows: [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text]. The contribution of differently shaped nanoparticles, volume proportions, and fractional parameters in boosting the heat-transferring attributes of engine oil is also anticipated. In this regard, results for Nusselt number are provided in tabular form. Additionally, a brief analysis of shear stress is carried out for fractional parameters and various combinations of magnesia, graphene, and engine oil. This investigation anticipates that engine oil's hybridization with magnesia and graphene would result in a 33% increase in its thermal performance, which evidently improves its industrial significance. The enhancement in Schmidt number yields an improvement in the mass transfer rate. An increment in collective volume fraction leads to raising the profile of the thermal field. However, the velocity indicates a decreasing behavior. Nusselt number reaches its highest value ([Formula: see text]) for the lamina shape of considered particles. When the intensity of the buoyancy force augments, it causes the velocity to increase.

RESUMO

Weight determining of attributes is an important factor in decision support systems since it corresponds to the relative importance of each criteria which is necessary to be determined since all the attributes aren't equally important. The aim of this paper is to put forward a method for multi Criteria decision making (MCDM) problems based on three trapezoidal fuzzy numbers under completely unknown weights environment. Based on the idea that the attribute with a larger deviation value among alternatives should be assigned a larger weight, an optimization model based on maximizing deviation method is established. F-OWA is considered to be vastly superior from the existing operators which usually take into account only the relative significance of decision makers. F-OWA operator considers not only the ratings of attribute values but also their ordered position that is it not only signifies the decision makers but also values the individual assessments. We utilize fuzzy ordered weighted averaging (F-OWA) operator to compute the collective overall preference value of each alternative and select the most desirable one according to their expected score values. The presented method is more generalized since we have used TTFNs, which are more effective in capturing uncertainty than IT2FS, just like triangular fuzzy numbers have a better representational power than simple interval numbers. Moreover, an illustrative example is given for the justification of the proposed technique.

RESUMO

This article presents the two-dimensional flow of hybrid nanofluid comprising of gyrotactic microorganisms under the consequences of multiple slip conditions, magnetic field and thermal radiation across an elongating curved surface using porous media. The nanoparticles of TiO2 and Fe3O4 have dispersed in water for composition of hybrid nanofluid. Main equations of the problem are converted to ODEs by using an appropriate set of variables. Solution of the present model is determined with the help of bvp4c technique, which is explained in detail in the coming section. Validation of the current results is done versus the published work. The effects of various emerging factors on flow distributions have been considered and explained. Additionally, the slips conditions are incorporated to analyze various flow distributions. The present outcomes show that the rising magnetic factor lessens the velocity profile, whereas rises the temperature profile. The curvature factor has supported both temperature and velocity distributions. Growth in velocity, thermal, concentration, and microorganisms slip factors reduce the corresponding distributions. The greater impact of the embedded parameters is found on hybrid nanofluid flow when matched to nanofluid flow.

RESUMO

The current problem is concerned with the study of magnetohydrodynamic ternary hybrid nanofluid flow over two distinct geometries i.e., cone and wedge. The ternary hybrid nanoliquid with MHD has a lot of engineering and industrial applications. In polymer data processing, cone and wedge geometries are frequently utilized. Therefore, the present problem is designed to the flow of ternary hybrid nanoliquid over multiple geometries. Hybrid nanoliquids performed well in the heat transport rate as compared to the nanoliquid and conventional liquid. Here in this study, the idea of ternary hybrid nanoliquid is introduced to improve the energy and mass transmissions which show more satisfactory results in the thermal and mass transmission performance. The impacts of chemical reaction and thermal radiation are also executed in this model. The formulation of the present study is performed in the form of PDEs which are then transformed into the ODEs by using suitable similarity transformations. The homotopic analysis scheme is implemented for the semi-analytical solution of the existing model. Some major results that materialize from the present simplification are that; the tri-hybrid nanoliquid velocity is greater for the rising nanoparticles volume fractions. The enlargement in radiation parameter enlarged the tri-hybrid nanoliquid thermal profile. The mass transfer rate of the ternary hybrid nanoliquid is lesser for the Schmidt number and chemical reaction. Intensification in nanoparticles volume fractions and radiation parameter has increased the ternary hybrid nanofluid heat rate transfer for both cone and wedge geometries.

RESUMO

This article explores the analysis of magnetized blood-based nanofluids flows over an extending cylinder. The nanofluid contains copper, copper oxide and iron oxide nanoparticles which are mixed with blood. The mathematical model has been built-up in partial differential equations (PDEs) form and then changed into ordinary different equations by mean of suitable similarity variables and then has been evaluated by homotopy analysis method (HAM). The convergence of the applied technique is presented in graphical form. During the solution process, the influences of physical parameters like magnetic parameter, unsteadiness parameter, curvature parameter and thermal relaxation time parameter on the flow profiles have been investigated and depicted in Figures and Tables. The correctness of the present model has also been presented in tabular form. The results show that the greater curvature factor reduces the radius of cylinder due to which thickness of layer becomes thin at the boundaries and therefore the velocity distribution declines, while the greater curvature parameter has the increasing impact on the temperature distribution for constant wall temperature (CWT) case and decreases the temperature distribution for prescribed surface temperature (PST) case.

RESUMO

This article presents the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of a nanoliquid due to a rotating sphere at a stagnation point. The flow is considered to be influenced by the magnetic field, dissipative, thermally radiative, and chemically reactive. Also, the thermophoretic and Brownian motion influences are taken into consideration. Some restrictions in the present analysis are taken: like there is no-slip and convective conditions, joule heating, Hall effects and buoyancy-driven. The solution of the present analysis is derived through the homotopy analysis method (HAM). The significance of several physical parameters on velocities, thermal and concentration profiles are shown with the help of Figures. Also, the significance of different physical factors on skin frictions, local Nusselt number and Sherwood number are demonstrated with the help of Tables. The outcomes show that the Nusselt number is lower for the larger Brownian motion parameter, Eckert number, and thermophoretic parameter, while the increment in the thermal radiation parameter augmented the Nusselt number. It is established that the increasing rotation, magnetic and positive constant parameters have increased the velocity profiles along the x-direction while reducing the velocity profiles along the z-direction of the nanoliquid flow. The increasing positive constant parameter reduces the thermal graph of the nanoliquid flow. Furthermore, the intensifying Eckert number, thermophoresis, Brownian motion, and thermal radiation factor have escalated the thermal profiles of the nanoliquid flow.
