Role of Bioactive Compounds on Protein Utilization in Ruminants: A Review
Abstract: Insufficient nutrition is the primary drive of low productivity by ruminants. These insufficiencies can be corrected by supplementation with high-density feeds and locally available tree legumes. These tree legumes contain various types of bioactive compounds, which can be defined as secondary plant metabolites (PSM) that are extra nutritional substances having pharmacological or toxicological effects in man and animals. Besides the primary biosynthetic, the secondary metabolites are also produced within the …

Chemotactic Behavior of Caenorhabditis elegans in Different Chemical Gradients
Abstract: The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) has been extensively used as a model organism for studying various behavioral aspects in small organisms. Chemotaxis has, by far, been one of the most important studies to help us understand the fundamental search and avoid behavior of C. elegans. A typical chemotaxis assay involves the use of anesthetics to paralyze the worms near the center of a chemoattractant gradient that enables us to …

Bioremediation of Oil-Spilled Sites through Seeding Naturally Adapted Pseudomonas putida
Abstract: In the present study, crude oil degradation was analyzed using isolated bacterial strains. These bacterial strains were isolated from the crude-oil-contaminated soil sample. All the isolates were identified as species of Pseudomonas, in which the Pseudomonas putida P11 and LP1 demonstrated a strong ability to degrade kerosene, gasoline, diesel, engine oil and crude oil. Bioremediation for oil spill cleanup was analyzed by the inoculation of P. putida with the addition …

In Vitro Evaluation of Bioremediation Capacity of a Commercial Probiotic, Bacillus clausii, for Chromium (VI) and Lead (II) Toxicity
Abstract: Heavy metals cause disastrous effects on any living organisms. Probiotics have the ability to reduce metal toxicity. Commercial probiotics having bioremediation capacity can use these bacteria as an alternative to conventional remediation methods. The bioaccumulation of heavy metals including chromium (VI) (Cr [VI]) and lead (II) (Pb [II]) causes fatal toxicity in humans. Some naturally occurring bacterial species, such as Bacillus and Pseudomonas, contribute their role in bioremediation of these …
