Antimicrobial biosynthetic potential and genetic diversity of endophytic actinomycetes associated with medicinal plants
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2015-09-06)Endophytic actinomycetes are one of the primary groups that share symbiotic relationships with medicinal plants and are key reservoir of biologically active compounds. In this study, six selective medicinal plants were ... -
Bioreactor scalability: laboratory-scale bioreactor design influences performance, ecology, and community physiology in expanded granular sludge bed bioreactors
(Frontiers Media SA, 2017-05-01)Studies investigating the feasibility of new, or improved, biotechnologies, such as wastewater treatment digesters, inevitably start with laboratory-scale trials. However, it is rarely determined whether laboratory-scale ... -
Isolation, abundance and phylogenetic affiliation of endophytic actinomycetes associated with medicinal plants and screening for their in vitro antimicrobial biosynthetic potential
(Frontiers Media SA, 2015-04-07)Microorganisms associated with medicinal plants are of interest as the producers of important bioactive compounds. To date, the diversity of culturable endophytic actinomycetes associated with medicinal plants is in its ... -
Predicting the hma-lma status in marine sponges by machine learning
(Frontiers Media SA, 2017-05-08)The dichotomy between high microbial abundance (HMA) and low microbial abundance (LMA) sponges has been observed in sponge-microbe symbiosis, although the extent of this pattern remains poorly unknown. We characterized the ... -
Simultaneous dna-rna extraction from coastal sediments and quantification of 16s rrna genes and transcripts by real-time pcr
(MyJove Corporation, 2016-06-11)Real Time Polymerase Chain Reaction also known as quantitative PCR (q-PCR) is a widely used tool in microbial ecology to quantify gene abundances of taxonomic and functional groups in environmental samples. Used in combination ... -
The sponge microbiome project
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2017-08-16)Marine sponges (phylum Porifera) are a diverse, phylogenetically deep-branching clade known for forming intimate partnerships with complex communities of microorganisms. To date, 16S rRNA gene sequencing studies have largely ...
