RESUMO
Studies are being carried out on achieving the maximum quality of garlic through various approaches. In Bangladesh, new garlic varieties (BARI 1-4, BAU-1, BAU-2, BAU-5) have been recently developed by artificial selection to enhance their quality. The present study aimed to evaluate their potency in terms of bioactive properties and organosulfur compounds content using different bioassay and GC-MS techniques while comparing them with other accessible varieties (Chinese, Indian, Local). The new variety, BARI-3 showed the highest antioxidant activity and total phenolic content. It was also found with the highest level of a potent blood pressure-lowering agent, 2-vinyl-4H-1,3-dithiine (78.15 %), which is never reported in any garlic at this percentage. However, the local variety exhibited greater inhibitory properties against the tested organisms including multidrug-resistant pathogens compared to other varieties. This study primarily shows the potential of these two kinds of garlic for their further utilization and development.
RESUMO
In this article, we report draft genome sequence and annotation of Klebsiella quasipneumoniae from the wastewater source in Bangladesh. Here, we identified Klebsiella quasipneumoniae strain C11S11_BCSIR, a multidrug-resistant pathogenic bacterium harboring seven antimicrobial resistance genes of five major antibiotic classes with a novel multilocus sequence type (MLST) (ST6130).
